Turning a nitrous cartridge and candle into a Nitrous/paraffin hybrid rocket engine?
    #14549496 -

The guy who creates a successful TEK to turn a nitrous cartridge into a liquid N2O/solid Paraffin hybrid rocket wins ten internets. If its a multiple use vehicle, easily made, where cartridge and cast paraffin mantle are easily replaced, more so.

Think about it, all the potential for a tremendous burst of specific impulse is there. The burst is short enough for the top of an empty cartridge to be used as a nozzle.

How to break the seal and ignite the gas as it blasts through a hollow paraffin mantle in one smooth operation?



Even if it just flies 500 ft its awesome as all hell isnt it?

Anyone here feels it holds enough lulz to warrant a brainstorm and R&D session?

I made a rocket out of a nitrous cartridge once accidentally.  I was trying to make an explosive and filled the empty cartridge with black powder but the powder didn't burn fast enough.  So instead of exploding, the cartridge shot down into the ground half a meter or so, hit a root and deflected sideways continuing underground for another 2-3 meters, before deflecting off something else and re-entering the atmosphere straight up only to be lost entirely.  We were able to track its path into, through, and out of the ground by the smoke trail.

Kinda off topic though....
