This One Additive Makes Rocket Candy Perform Way Better

The month-long test campaign included data-logger problems, damaged motor casings, two major failures, test-stand repairs, liner improvements, and plenty of troubleshooting. I compared the basic KNSB formula, red iron oxide modifications, and my more aggressive MEGAx-style propellant using thrust, chamber-pressure, temperature, and impulse data. The basic formula peaked at 340 N, while the final successful test reached 755 N, more than twice the peak thrust. But that extra performance came with higher pressure and much greater stress on the motor. Watch to see what failed, how I fixed it, and which rocket candy formula ultimately performed best.
