Making a Rocket Motor Based on a NAZI Design

Back in the day, nazis were experimenting with rocket motors for planes and well rockets. While they did unspeakable things they have actually engennered a lot of good stuff in that time and while most of that was primaraly used to kill people now we can reuse a lot of that to actually improve our lives. One of those things was a "cold" chemical motor made to work by reducing hydrogen peroxide into its basic components which are water and oxigen. While they didnt develop this motor beyone a couple of tests on a plane which reportedly flew at the speed of 750KM/H which is crazy but was very hard steer and was screapped. I believe that this motor could be used in hobby/small form factor rockets for launching micro staleites it just requres a lot more research. Im going to show you how you can build a DIY mini version in your backyard with just some simple tools.

DISCLAMER: CHEMICAL BURNS ARE VERY BAD AND YOU SHOULD USE PROTECTIVE EXUPMENT ESPECIALLY EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION.

Supplies

- 3D printer

- Hydrogen peroxide (30% and above)

- Catalist(Potassium permangante will work very well for this but others can be used)

- some PVC pipe

How Dose This Work?

As most of us hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) really dosent want to exist in this world and would much rather prefer to beceome water(H2O) and oxiger (O) and if you leave it alone it will slowly by itself decompose into H2O and O but we dont want to wait months for hydrogen peroxide to decompose we need it to happen in span of a few seconds and that is why we give it a little push with something called a catalist which is basically any chemicaly that will speed up some reacation, in our case we are using potassium permanganate which will help H202 decompose VERY fast. This motor is called "cold" since there is no fire in it as you would have in normal rocket engines but dont be mistaken this motor and the liquid will get somewhat hot because decomposition of H2O2 does produce heat.

Ok Lets Build This Thing!

To build this we are going to use two 3d printed parts and a PVC tube. 3D printed parts act as caps on the PVC tube where one and will act as a nozzle to give us more trust and the other side will act as the entry point for both liquids which we will mix together in our "combustion chamber" which is our tube.

Making the Caps

Ok I may have lied to you about this project needing a 3d printer, I am lazy so I 3d printed mine but you can 100% make this without a 3D printer since the back cap only lets fluids in and the front one while more important could be just a flat surface with a hole in the middle if you dont have anything else. These caps must be glued to the pipe since forced inside the chamber can easily exceed the holding force of friction

IT WORKS

My fist test worked very well and I hope yours does too, even this small motor is very powerful and must be very well mounted.
