Sugar Rocket

This is a sugar rocket which uses potassium nitrate and sugar as fuel. 

To make the fuel you will need potassium nitrate and sugar.

1. Mix the potassium nitrate and sugar with a 65:35 ratio (65% potassium nitrate and 35% sugar).

2. (optional) Put your mixture into a PVC or metal pipe and use cat litter to block the top and bottom off.

   Then drill a hole into the bottom of the pipe where the cat litter is and now your ready to fly.

3. Put your mixture into the rocket and compact it.
4. Glue a washer with a small hole onto the bottom of the rocket.
5. Light the fuel on fire to launch your rocket with a lighter or igniter.
