[SS-Propellant] Tucker/Rider method

[Mateica Vlad]

The interesting thing about this method is that you start the machine and in several minutes molten propellant starts flowing. 
  I think that putting the milled oxidizer(KN) and fuel(sorbitol+sugar) in separate hoppers(maybe air-tight hoppers) and the mixing them with some sort of impeller driven by a angular grinder motor, and after that delivering it to the auger where it will melt. This way we could finish pouring the propellant much more faster.
  The auger could be driven by a low rev high torque electric motor.
   
  Firs we must decide what type we are going to use, so I can start making the "accidentally ignition" experiment. I am thinking of dispersing fine powdered propellant into the atmosphere and the try to ignite it to  see the effects. After that ignite about 1kg of fully molten propellant. But I need to know the final composition of the propellant, and wait for the weather to warm up a bit(-10C).
    Best wishes,
  Vlad
