Candybar (Milkyway) Rocket Engine

Step 7: Woosh!

It was ignited by a small bit of cannon fuse, I'm pretty sure we could use a standard esties rocket engine igniter, but we didn't have any on hand.




Might be a little anticlimactic, since we didn't actually put it in a rocket and launch it,  or even strap a stick to it and make a big bottle rocket.  but we currently have some burn restrictions here (drought), so we are keeping it on the ground for now.  That will come in the future.

For full disclosure, a lot of my engine building design was strongly influenced by these videos. And by talking to other amateur rocket enthusiasts.

Your creativity with chocolate has no boundaries, and having the knowledge of chocolate fueled rocket engines must be a story in itself. Hats off to you and keep up the wonderful uniqueness that you have displayed.i
