Introduction: How to Build a Rocket
This is how you make a rocket. This cover photo is courtesy of youtube.com.
Step 1: Step One
You will need to get 33.3 grams of Potassium Nitrate, 17 grams of sugar, 6 grams of corn syrup, and 27 milliliters of water.
Step 2: Step Two
Grind up sugar and Potassium Nitrate serpeartely using a ceramic grinder.
Step 3: Step Three
Cut strips of paper 1.5 inches long, completely glue one side of the paper and wrap tightly around a normal PaperMate pen when making a small casing and if making a bigger casing wrap around a wooden stick or something of a similar shape, so you are able to create a hollow casing to put the clay and fuel in.
Step 4: Step Four
Heat your pan or skillet to 300 degrees Farenheit.
Step 5: Step Five
Pour the 6 grams of corn syrup onto the heated pan/skillet.
Step 6: Step Seven
At the same time at the 33.3 grams of Potassium Nitrate, 17 grams of sugar, and 27 milliliters of water.
Step 7: Step Eight
Stir until the water evaporates and the mixture carmelizes.
Step 8: Step Nine
Add clay to the paper casing you made by grabbing a little piece of it and pushing it into the casing using the top of your pen.
Step 9: Step Ten
Push rocket fuel on top of the clay inside the casing using the top of your pen.
Step 10: Step Eleven
Once rocket fuel solidifies, drill hole half-way through the casing. This will allow space for the nozzle and will allow the burn of the rocket fuel to go from the inside to the outside. (and then cover the whole on top once finished.)
