Hey guys. I am currently a Sophomore in High School and have recently decided I am going to try and complete a Science Fair Competition for my high school. Rocketry is one of my passions so I was trying to think of possible projects that would fit under Chemistry, Mathematics, or Engineering topics. A few I have come up with is trying to design an entirely custom built engine that is of either a solid propellant or hybrid design. This would enable me to also try to determine what the best nozzle shape is so you gain the most thrust. I am not as knowledgeable in some of these areas I am mentioning since I usually buy off the shelf parts and then design my own rockets. This one would have to be entirely of original design as well as fabrication of parts (I think). As you can probably tell, I don't really have any clue what I am talking about so just any recommendations or ideas would be greatly appreciated and taken into consideration.\
Basically less confusing edit of above:
I want to participate in my school science fair but do not know what to do.
Possible Ideas:
- Design own engines of either solid propellant or hybrid design and determine what fuel is best
- Design and build different nozzles for aforementioned custom motors to determine which shape is ideal
- Design entire rocket and build said rocket to accomplish a certain goal (ex. flying 1 mile high, etc.)
