How to Build a Working DIY Transparent Hybrid Rocket Engine
Ben from NightHawkInLight demonstrates how to build a working DIY transparent hybrid rocket engine in his workshop. The engine uses a solid acrylic tube as both its body and fuel source. When oxygen is introduced the tube ignites from the inside, and the reaction is channeled through a graphite nozzle.
