... Alka-Seltzer tablet. Place upside down, and you have an interesting classroom demonstration. Small solid rocket motors and vehicles can be purchased in hobby stores in single and multi-stage varieties. Mixing your own rocket propellant is very dangerous and can cause serious injuries. Rocket clubs can provide guidance and safety procedures for those who insist ...
The largest rocket ever built was the Saturn V rocket that was used to carry people to the Moon and back. This rocket was about 363 feet tall and weighed about 2,250 metric tons when fully fueled. The Space Shuttle with the external tank and solid rocket boosters is a little over 184 feet tall and weighs about 2000 metric tons.

... doesn't get off the ground. Increasing the momentum of the exhaust can increase the rocket thrust. To make the best use of the limited amount of propellant on the vehicle ... by the melting point of the engine materials. High-exhaust velocities are achieved in the rocket engine by flowing the hot gas through a throat and then expanding the gas in ... /For%20Kids/KidstoSpace.html Click here

Jet engines and liquid rocket engines have much in common. Both pump fuel and oxidizer into a combustion chamber to ... from the force of expanding gasses through the nozzle. The major conceptual difference is that rockets carry their oxidizer with them whereas jet engines use air as their source of oxygen. In rocket engine terminology, the term "jet" usually refers to the stream of hot gas that exits ...
... specific energy than we need for launch. However, based on the designs of the nuclear rockets tested in the 1960s, the thrust-to-weight ratio is too low to be able ... a vertically launched single stage, limited primarily by shielding weight. Horizontally launched single stage nuclear rocket vehicles can, theoretically, achieve orbit. This is because the thrust requirements can be reduced since ...
... run on hydrogen (the fuel) and oxygen (the oxidizer). The orbital maneuvering system rockets and the reaction control system rockets (used for attitude control) use monomethyl hydrazine (the fuel) and nitrogen tetroxide (the oxidizer). The German V-2 rocket used alcohol and oxygen. The Atlas rocket used kerosene and oxygen. But of all these, hydrogen has the highest ...
