Any idea for a home-made rocket fuel?
So i'm trying to make a rocket out of a 1.5L coke bottle and i just realized i have no idea what to use to actually make it go up lol, preferably something cheap, easy to make

Bang for buck when i was a kid we had a stand up style bike pump, few wraps of electrical tape and the nozzle bit fitted the neck of a 2l bottle perfectly. Half full of water make a launcher out of scrap drain pipe and some legs.
My record was 11 bar before the bottle would explode. Neighbours called the cops thinking it was someone shooting ffs.
There are plenty of existing literature into rocket5 chemistry.
If you listen to anyone on here skitabout chemicals you are beyond help

Rocket candy is pretty good and there's plenty of good tutorials on making rockets with it. Will go hundreds if not thousands of feet if done correctly. Don't use a coke bottle, just use PVC pipe which is very cheap still.

Seconding this. Cheap, easy, and relatively safe if done outdoors.
