How to make a primitive, home-made rocket?

Question

Like, what materials can I use for a basic ignition chamber, frame, and such from stuff around the house. If at all possible.

Answer 1

Materials: simple book match,
a paper clip,
A piece of aluminum foil about 1/2", (12 MM.) SQ

Procedure:
Open the paper clip so that you have two half loops forming a 'V`.
Lay one end of the paperclip wire against the matchstick with its end against the head.
Wrap the foil tightly around the match-head and wire.
( This step forms the rocket case and vent, the match-head is the fuel, the stick, a stabilizing tail).)
Lay the paper clip on a hard fireproof surface so one loop is down. This is the launcher.
Place the match, (rocket), in the raised loop with the head pointing up at an angle.
Light the match with another match.
You should get lift-off. - (Range: about 6',-(2M.))

Don't mess with anything larger.
A working rocket is basically a controlled explosion, and if you get it even a little wrong, can be an uncontrolled one.
When you get older, this trick makes a great 'bar bet`.
"I can build & launch a rocket right here & now."

Answer 2

Well it depends on a few things, like what do you have around your house? Is this just a model to look at, or a functioning device? if the latter, fuel may be you biggest problem, or more specifically, the oxidizer portion, one can fuel a rocket with powdered sugar and potassium nitrate, you probably have the sugar, the KNO3 is not so likely, you'd also need the KNO3 to make gunpowder, the propellant used in primitive rockets.

The earliest rockets were just a bamboo or cardboard tube filled with a black powder like fuel, probably with a clay nozzle (modern skyrockets use a clay nozzle, I'm guessing about the earliest rockets). You will need a heavier tube than the one in a roll of paper towels, but you could make a tube with paper and glue, but again, the fuel is you biggest problem.

Answer 3

Youd need advanced stuff to make a proper rocket. if you just wanna have fun , they ok...(i mean you can make a rocket with a match and aluminium fold) so... You'll need a slow burning explosive.like gunpowder btu dilluted with charcoal or something, something like that.(kinda how a string in a candle take HOURS to burn because of the wax which ''dillutes'' the reaction.

a primer is easy, use an old thing from a cherry bomb, or buy actual fuse. The frame can be in aluminium, very light so, not bad, youll need to research for fins, cause sinc elight, wind will make it unstable, Youll need big good fins. crunch Al , and wrap around a Bounty papertowel carbboard roll. youll need like half the roll, and for the fins, good look, but somethign rigid....((mayeb a one piece wood structure for both fins passing across the rocket., liek drill two holes across it, and stick the piece in there. since its one piece, it should work.








PS: yo look guys she wnts to make a fkin rocket , not some shittyass light jump one feet in the air. everyoen knows that one.

''ignition chamber, frame.... etc all words describing a professional rocket, ,,, shes not lookign to doing some low stuff like you guys are saying, If soemone has an actual post, go by all means, probably going to be better than mine,

cept for those two below me.
