I wish I could show you one of the pine cone tests we do to demonstrate the
power and danger of peroxide. At our test site, the local trees are a species
of pine that makes large (6-10 in) resinous pine cones. We take a small amount
of peroxide, typically around a 100 ml, at anywhere from 86% to 9
As others have pointed out, it is currently ERPS's policy not to distribute
explicit details of how to do it. That said, I would advise staying away from
peroxide for your rocket, for the simple reason that it's seriously hazardous
and an all around pain in the ass. To give you an example, even wi

Yes -- just rent a trailer or two to pull behind Dave's and my trucks.

Tape heaters are inappropriate for Spike, since the propellant tank is part of
the aeroshell and it needs to be very clean aerodynamically in order to get
good data. Cole-Palmer sells 316 SS immersion heaters that might be
appropriate if we decide we need tank heat.
Honestly, I don't think we do
