A couple of points related to this chemical- Sufficiently fine ammonium perchlorate doesn't need to be mixed with a fuel to DETONATE, similar to the explosive properties of bulk ammonium nitrate. Check the UN shipping classification- AP finer than 15 micron particle size and dry ships as division 1.1, high explosives. AP for propellant use is carefully segregated by particle size, only a particular "cut" of particle sizes is chosen for any specific application. If you want repeatable results, you will need to control for AP particle size. Don't try to use random sized powders for rocket engines. Also, use a binder that doesn't FOAM as the insulation product used here does! Those bubbles would lead to very fast burning and probably an exploded motor. If you wish to mix AP with Magnesium as was done for the "rocket fuel" (and have the mixture last more than a short time), you had best coat the Mg particles with chromate. This may be done by adding the Mg powder to a hot water solution of Potassium dichromate, then filter, dry and dispose of the nasty hexavalent chromium waste solution responsibly- It would be better to use a fine spheroidal Aluminum powder, as is usual for aerospace applications. Although Al powder based fuel may not ignite for demonstrations easily when unconfined, it is what you want in real world rocket fuel applications. If you have very fine Hafnium carbide powder available at your lab, you might find mixing some of THAT with fine AP and igniting the mixture entertaining. Even though HfC is used as a refractory ceramic, it burns with lots of energy once you get it going...

Yeah Ammonium Perchlorate rocketry isn't exactly simple stuff, it's leaps and bounds more dangerous and powerful than the sugar rockets most amateurs play with. There are way more variables that go into them, and you _really_ don't want to be near an AP rocket going cato. Might want to consider your HPR certs if you really want to make them.
@TheExplosiveGuy4 жыл бұрын
@@traitorousbipeds well it's not exactly something you jump into, you'll need to do a _lot_ of reading and studying to even understand the basics. There are a number of forums you could become a member of, those will be great sources of info, and Wikipedia can be great for defining some of the nomenclature. Knowledge of chemistry will help out a bit, but it's not entirely necessary if you just want to fly some small rockets, practical knowledge is more important than anything, like the OP said there are tons of variables that go into Ammonium Perchlorate rockets including the physical grain size and shape of fuels and oxidizers, the type of core shape you use (rocket motors have a hollow core, and different shapes of that core produce different thrust profiles), fuel ratios and additives, the profiles of the nozzle you are using, the list goes on and on. Honestly if you are new to rocketry I'd say take baby steps first and learn how to perfect sugar rockets first, they can be quite powerful with the correct additive such as a 2% addition of red iron oxide to the mix as a burn rate catalyst. Potassium Nitrate and Sorbitol with iron oxide (58/40/2 ratio by weight) is a good place to start, it's a lot easier to prepare than table sugar rockets due to a much lower melting temp (regular sugar has to be brought to it's melting temp for a melt cast rocket, which is only a couple hundred degrees below the ignition temperature, can get dangerous if you're new). Start with powdered and pressed mixes first, melt cast rockets are somewhat difficult to pour properly in small rockets, it needs to be injected into your grain mold to avoid air pockets. Better performance but not by a whole lot, it just increases the density of the fuel a bit. Getting into HPR (High Power Rocketry) certification will require a lot of knowledge on your part, don't expect to get into it any time soon. Baby steps first, get comfortable with the basics, find a group of people online who know what they are doing, gain some experience, then see where that takes you. And for God's sakes start small, you _really_ don't want a big rocket going Cato (catastrophic failure) on you, they can be just as powerful as a pipe bomb minus the metal fragments (never use a metal casing for a rocket). Let me know if you have any questions, I'm no expert but I do know a thing or two about making rockets.

There’s a KZfaq video by the company that makes this solid propellant for the aerospace industry. A two-part polymer resin is used. The perchlorate is mixed w/ the “hardener”, then the the aluminum is added w/ the resin, mixed and allowed to harden. It’s much easier to do than mixing the powders and then trying to get your “goo” to absorb them at the same time.

Your videos inspire me to learn chemistry. Some people would say the ignitions excite the sensations and that I'm mistaking that for intellectual stimulation. But it's more than that. They stimulate because its fascinating how these mechanisms produce these reactions. I look around me and inquire where else do these reactions lie in wait. Not at all because anyone wishes to blast things but because things CAN blast of their own volition and its empowering to recognize that potential. It's one of the highest forms of scientific awareness of one's boundaries.

The LiAlH4 watch glass footage ... that white mixture visibly heaved like a mini Mount St Helens before the combustion phase ... that's quite an interesting phenomenon. Of course, ammonium perchlorate is a substance to treat me with respect. I point everyone to footage of the Pepcon incident in 1988. No less than 4,500 tons of this reagent cut loose in an uncontrolled manner, and levelled the plant. Generated a 3.6 Richter scale earthquake when it detonated. Which illustrates nicely why it's used as a rocket propellant.

Why does ammonium perchlorate combustion when heated? We obtained ammonium perchlorate by double decomposing sodium perchlorate and ammonium chloride. To observe its thermal decomposition, we put it in a glass test tube and applied a temperature of 160 degrees or higher to watch the process, and NH4Cl4 -> Cl2 + HCl + N2 + O2 + H2O should be carried out without flames, but combustion occurred in the video. What's the reason for this? Is it because impurities were mixed in the synthesis process?
