Sugar motor experiments (attempt to make black smoke from a sugar motor)
In this video I try a few different things to make black smoke from sugar motors. I didn't achieve my goal, but wanted to document the process.

    Hi , I found your tutorial very informative and useful to me because i am also developing the same for the first time, I have one doubt and concern about the motor that Is it safe to use multiple motor grains (in your case it is four), the gap between them may result in sudden increasing in fuel surface area and rapid burnout and drastic pressure increase. Do you face same issues or it worked fine ? What do you prefer , single grain long motor of multiple grain motor like yours ?

    You can CNC a negative CPC in aluminum and then nickel plate it. Pops off with an air hose. Optiform makes them. You can get many out of one mandrel. I’ve made some that are 3” diameter and 400 mm long. Diamond turned an aluminum mandrel in aluminum and NASA electroformed them in a thin shell of nickel. But they used liquid nitrogen to release the nickel shell.

    Have you ever tried a profile for a nozzle that’s based on a CPC (Compound Parabolic Concentrator, or Winston Cone). These are used in optical systems to take 2 pi steradians input on the small end and convert it to +- theta on the large end. Theta being dependent on the design of the CPC. So if the thrust coming out of the rocket (before nozzle) is 2 pi steradians, you can design a CPC nozzle that converts that thrust to a smaller angle, effectively converting the sideways thrust more downwards. Just a thought. I like seeing how things from one field of science can be used in another field. A straight cone is ok, but a CPC would eliminate the need for the converging part of the nozzle before the pinch and reduce the overall length. I’ll try to find some CPC design references for you.

    The candy propellant produces white smoke so you will never be able to produce a black smoke propellant that is usable in a motor I dont think. Best you can hope for is grey smoke. Also I think you miscalculated the addition if the glitter. You want that 10% to be part of the fuel load. For example if you use 25% fuel in your propellant mix then you need 75% kno3, 15% sorb and 10% glitter. the proppellant should burn cleaner with less residue. Also, the conditions under which the propellant is burning inside the combustion chamber are very different from those of the test strips. Not sure what useful info you will get from test strips.

    • @TheExplosiveGuy
      @TheExplosiveGuy 7 месяцев назад

      Sorbitol melts at a much lower temperature and also pours much more easily. It takes a small hit to performance compared to sucrose, but you tend to get a better grain quality, which can boost reliability. You can also add 0.5%-1% Sodium Laureth Sulfate as a surfactant which will make the propellant flow like honey, though it requires a 24 hour cure time before the grain hardens enough to load and launch.

      65% KNO3, 33-34% Sorbitol, 1-2% red Iron Oxide. Adding 1% Sodium Laureth Sulfate will greatly reduce viscosity too, making it easier to pour the grain.

    Instead of keeping these igniters in a carefully controlled (jar with desiccant) environment, I'd try sealing the sugar based coating from the humidity by painting/dipping them in a flammable lacquer, like fingernail polish, or the glue used for PVC piping. That way they could be stored without concern for the hydroscopic nature of the original coating.
