I chose to not even respond to this clown's last comments and stand by the statement that mixing gasoline with any sort of oxidizer is at best highly questionable and at worst potentially disasterous.

See, Jimbo, you need a thick skin to hang out here. Unlike TRF, we don't delete posts or threads, we let members duke it out. Funny thing is, this forum is generally a lot less contentions than many others. But if you ask the for advice, don't get cranky because (a) you got advice, and (b) you didn't like it.
Personally, not being a chemist or anything, I suspect that the best case scenario for combining an oxidizer and gasoline is BOOM. ("boom" if it's a very small amount.) You need a fuel that burns a bit slower and doesn't fume so much. Worst case, some chemical reaction I can't imagine (not being a chemist) might make a bigger boom, or do something more surprising. They tell me that "surprising" isn't often good in this branch of chemistry.

I'm not a chemist either but took seven courses of collegiate chemistry (including 4 semesters of organic (petrochemical) chemistry) persuing a chemical engineering degree before switching to electrical.
I think I'm qualified to say that mixing oxidizing agents with gasoline is looking for trouble.

... and you're the reason we all need thick skins. Good thing I have one.

I try to be not too rough on anyone but Estes (the company and what it has become, but NEVER Vern/Gleda) and one member (definitely not you, Solo) that tends to tick me off.
If somebody fires a salvo across my bow though, then it is GAME ON !

Well this is hilarious.
Rstaff3 (or who ever is in charge delete my account please.) Thanks. I don't have time nor patience for this. If you successfully continue to alienate your new subscribers simply because you unable to remain objective when answering questions, after the poster asked you very kindly to be objective, then I guess I just can't win can I. Thanks for the links gents. Goodbye. |

Really, you are overreacting. Good luck with your endeavors.

Yep. Solids and liquids (gasoline), do not make rocket fuel, or rocket engine fuel. They really don't mix. Sure sounded like a recipe for the stuff used in OK...gas instead of diesel. With all the stuff on the internet, why couldn't he come up with a better forum/info than here? Trolling. The guy didn't come across right the first time., saying he was experienced. Yeah, umhumm. Good reply GHrocketman!!!!!

Not my job, man. I wish you well and hope you keep all your body parts This is clearly not the forum for amateur rocketry and related subjects.
