I liked the part of the chemistry set where you made rocket fuel, etc. As to erector sets, never had one, but since dad owned one of the bigger machine shops in the area, I got to build with real steel. Could turn out a great breech loading cannon on the lathe at 10 years old. Then could put the chemistry set to use. Jetex fuses were the purchased parts. |

Speaking of when America *was* America ... (with all due appologies to our hemisphere neighbors) This collection represents better days in the automotive industry.

The best amateur rocket fuel for the masses was potassium nitrate and sugar, baked in the oven. You could put this in an empty Crossman CO2 cylinder with the end drilled out to 1/4" and shoot a Bering cigar tube into the next zip code. Harder to get was zinc dust for zinc dust and sulphur but that went right up too. Don't use match heads. That makes a grenade. ;-) We used zinc dust and sulphur. For some reason we had no problem getting the zinc. And since grandparents and uncle ran a farm, powdered sulphur was available in gross amounts. We used a lot of aluminum tube the we necked down the nozzle portion. They went extremely well. |
