Risky thread
So I was able to achieve a truly DOT/ATF/NAR/NFPA exempt propellant. You can buy a candle. You can buy a rocket motor.
The issue is the clubs are involved in arbitrary rulemaking and that exemption from them makes them nervous (irrationally, because we always need clubs). So my question is simple from the perspective of THIS audience. Are you even willing to buy exempt product or does it violate your religion? There's always Home Depot and Wal-Mart. Just Jerry |

Jerry,
I would certainly like to learn more—what would the applications for motors using this propellant be relative to LPR/MPR as we know it? What sort of performance might it have? How easy (or hard) is it to "initiate"? What sort of ballpark costs (from a user perspective) might there be relative to current black powder or APCP motors? Those sorts of things.... Even if the applications would be significantly different (here I'm thinking, say, Q-Jets vs. Jetex) I would still want to know more.

Lets fixate on HPR and HPR+

New motor technology is certainly a good thing, and I'm all for it... If you're going to limit the discussion to HPR/HPR+ (whatever HPR+ is; obviously over the established "regs" defining HPR?) then I'm not interested, because I have ZERO interest in HPR... HPR is just high powered expense. Most of the HPR people I've seen just do HPR to brag on how much money they've blown on their "projects" and most of their "projects" are just super-sized, super-expensive versions of LPR/MPR stuff anyway, little more than a grander more expensive version of the "whoosh,pop" of an Alpha III... sure they incorporate some added technology like dual deploy and such, but usually to little/no purpose... then you have general @ss-grabbery like "bowling ball lofting" and other such STUPIDITY that just sours me on the whole thing... Most HPR stuff I've been around have DEFINITELY given me the "hold my beer and watch this" vibe which is why I won't allow HPR on my farms we lend to clubs as ranges... Later! OL J R

I would probably be interested in it depending on what impulse range it is in.
Does the average thrust of no more than 80N NFPA reg apply ? Need to know more info other than just "exempt" If it is some non-combustible nonsense, NOT interested.

All impulse ranges. FAA is only exempt to 125g. Above that the club and waiver OR another compliace method method I invented applies.
But all impulse ranges are buyable anywhere anytime. You have to use good judgement on use. We still live in the United States of America where the citizens are the SOVEREIGNS. |

Gosh, ok, Jerry, I guess you got our collective curiosities aroused, so let’s stop the foreplay and get down to some, er, nitty gritty details. Eh?

Are you talking a paraffin hybrid? They've been around a long time. If not a hybrid, what's in the propellant?
