RCandy science fun

Have any of you ever wanted to make rockets? With a simple recipe which all of us can make at home, it is possible to substitute traditional black gunpowder with RCandy. The two ingredients needed are:

• Potassium Nitrate
• Sugar

Potassium Nitrate can be found in any fertilizer store. The utensils needed are of the following:

• Weight scale
• Any tool which can be used for grinding

Measure the Potassium Nitrate for 20 grams and sugar for 11 grams. Be careful with these for the RCandy can turn into an explosive with the wrong mix. This can make good rocket fuel/propellant and is quite cheap.
