  • openMotor

    An open-source internal ballistics simulator for rocket motor experimenters

  • keep away from PVC tubes, cause those shatter rather than peel like with cardboard or aluminium tubes. and unlike aluminium, it doesn't turn up in x-rays. don't follow online video tutorials, cause they're often simplified massively and don't explain the complexities. anyways, here's an online video tutorial (ironic) series by someone who's built much more complicated motors than pvc tubes packed with sugar. He does this at MIT, and also co-made OpenMotor, a software to get estimated chamber pressure, KN (a value proportional to the chamber pressure and surface area of burning, can't remember the exact formula for it), and thrust, plotted on a graph relative to time. There's also this site, which is basically the archive of someone who's been building amateur motors for decades, and it contains hundreds of separate pages, most of which contain extremely useful information, especially the theory section. I'm currently designing my own motor using sugar too, and these have all been a massive help.
