Check out the publications section of the website and take a look at our updated research paper.

We will soon be adding a new section to the site where we will discuss our ideas for furthering the project.

If all goes well, we will rewrite our entire research paper using LaTeX to make it look more professional.

We may also get around to setting up an RSS feed for the site at some point.

General site updates in the Theory, Engine, Stand, Propellant, Igniters, and Results sections. Also, general site improvement.

In particular, we have added a section to the Propellant page that explains our latest batch of experiments, the Seventy Gram Experiments. Basically, we made a bunch of KN/SB propellant, with differing ratios, and saw what their burn characteristics were.

This site is now online.

We are two students who build rockets. Our names are Tamir and Jay. Tamir goes to the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. Jay goes to Forestview High School.

We melt potassium nitrate and sorbitol together and pour it into a mold, thus making rocket propellant. Our main source of information regarding how to safely manufacture these motors is Richard Nakka. His website may be found here.

Our methods can be found on this site, though, and we will make sure to use pictures so that you can understand what we are saying.

Our project? To find out what the effects of changing the ratios of potassium nitrate and sorbitol are.

Good luck. Try this at home. But don't hurt anybody. Let us know how it goes.
