Hello,
I am new to Rocket design, I have a rough background in the science but no experience whatsoever when it comes to designing, building and testing.
I have all I need to make some small scale (3/4 inch diameter, have not defined my length yet) KNO3-Sugar rockets with PVC casing, but I don't know how to go about safely testing the rocket. My only idea so far is to fill a bucket with dirt and place the rocket with exhaust facing upwards, will this suffice or do I need a more sophisticated test rig?
Any thoughts / opinions are appreciated, Thank you!
