BigFly said:hmm that's interesting what the specific impulse for that mixture just wondering? also I am not sure if there is or not but are there any ways to make electric propulsion that you know of? or anyone else if they read this?
The main types of chemicals used in rocket fuel are liquid propellants, solid propellants, and hybrid propellants. Liquid propellants, such as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, are typically used in larger rockets and provide higher thrust. Solid propellants, such as ammonium perchlorate and aluminum powder, are used in smaller rockets and are easier to store and handle. Hybrid propellants combine elements of both liquid and solid propellants.
Rocket fuel chemicals create thrust by undergoing a chemical reaction and releasing large amounts of energy in the form of heat and gas. This gas is directed out of the rocket's engines, pushing it in the opposite direction and propelling the rocket forward.
Yes, there are risks associated with working with rocket fuel chemicals. These chemicals are highly reactive and can be toxic if handled improperly. They also pose a risk of explosion if not handled with extreme caution. Proper safety precautions and training are necessary when working with these chemicals.
Yes, rocket fuel chemicals can be used for other purposes besides rocket propulsion. For example, some chemicals used in rocket fuel, such as liquid hydrogen, can be used as a coolant in nuclear reactors. However, their primary purpose is for use in rocket propulsion due to their unique properties and high energy output.
Superchemicals are chemicals that have exceptional properties, such as high energy output, stability, or reactivity, that make them suitable for use in advanced technologies or applications. In the context of rocket fuel, superchemicals are typically those that have high energy densities and can provide the necessary thrust for space exploration and deep space travel.
