Week 1 - The fuel

Yes, I know this is one week late, but I blame Teng, I don't know why.. but let's just keep it that way.

Cutting the chatter and excitement, we all moved into finding the relevant fuel to propel our rocket hundreds of feet into the air, than watch it blow up in front of us. If you guys still didn't get it, we are attempting to build a full fledged rocket - motor, fins, parachute and vertical height gained.

But the first thing we should get together is the fuel; without which the rocket will not go anywhere.

The magic combination happened to be:

  • Saltpeter - (63%)
  • Sugar (Yeap, SUGAR) - 27%
  • Sulphur - 10%
