How A Rocket Engine Works

In a rocket engine , fuel and a source of oxygen, called an oxidizer, are mixed and exploded in a combustion chamber. The combustion produces hot exhaust which is passed through a nozzle to accelerate the flow and produce thrust. ... In a solid rocket, the propellants are mixed together and packed into a solid cylinder.

Model Rocket Test

This is a solid state rocket. Used mostly within model rockets. Check out the force that is flying out of that nozzle!. Fuel + Oxygen + Combustion = AWESOME!

1/10 scale Saturn V Rocket Launch

This is still one of my favorite model rocket videos. When I was in high school, my brother built the Saturn V rocket. But his was only few feet tall (roughly 1:200 scale). I can’t even comprehend how to start making a model rocket of this magnitude. The launch is awesome, and the landing is pretty cool also.
