Rocket Engine - Isopropyl Hobby Engine

This is an 99% Isopropyl rocket engine designed as a project to practice for my rocket propulsion course in my Masters program.

Still needs to be refined but this is the current set up.

I use a high-voltage converter to ignite the fuel in the chamber by soldering the leads to two small nails inserted into the rear chamber cover.

A cap size of fuel is then poured into the chamber via the nozzle and sloshed around to create the proper vapour content in the chamber.

Then with the use of a switch ignite the fuel and enjoy!
