Written for people who aren't rocket engineers, Amateur Rocket Motor Construction teaches the reader how to make real solid fuel rocket motors with simple tools and easy-to-find materials. Richly illustrated with more than 600 photos and drawings, this incredible 8-1/2" x 11", 528 page book contains everything you need to know to make 5 homemade rocket fuel formulas and 54 proven and tested rocket motor designs.

Sizes range from a tiny C-6 to an I-100 what will take a 3-foot rocket to 7,000 feet. Burn times range from 0.7 seconds to 6.3 seconds, and motor thrusts range from 4 pounds to 58 pounds. Depending on where you buy the chemicals, the homemade rocket fuel will cost from 25 cents to 2 dollars per pound, and depending on the size, a finished rocket motor will cost from 15 cents to 3 dollars, about 1/10 the cost of a commercially-made motor. Construction costs for the other motors fall somewhere in between.

Each design includes a full page of test stand data plus 2 flight performance predictions, as calculated by Rogers' Aeroscience Alt4 rocket performance prediction software. Nineteen chapters cover everything from safety and buying or making the chemicals to propellant formulation, motor construction, and homemade test equipment. Please note that Amateur Rocket Motor Construction is not a synopsis of information from other sources. Everything in this book is new and original work based on 6 years of extensive R&D by the author.

If you're fascinated by the idea of building and flying homemade rocket motors, then this is the book you've been waiting for.
