Sorbitol & Potassium Nitrate Rocket Propellant Test #1

www.DoranAerospace.com ~Bob Doran A test of 1 grain (about 40 grams) of Sorbitol / KNO3 (Potassium Nitrate) propellant, the ratio being 65% Sorbitol 35% KNO3 with an additional 1% Red Iron Oxide to act as a burn rate catalyst. Overall the performance of this porpellant is very pleasing, and I will test it in a motor soon. The propellant is VERY easy to make, far easier than Surcose propellant (or sugar / KNO3), it stays malleable for quite some time after heating, seems to trap much less air, and has about the same performance. www.DoranAerospace.com or www.Pyrosecrets.com Thank you, Bob Doran CEO DoranAerospace
