Matt, With all due respect, people such as yourself and your 'teacher' are the reason that we don't give out advice on making peroxide rocket engines. It is *extremely* dangerous, and may well get yourself and others killed in the attempt. You will not be able to get 80% peroxide, as it is a well controlled substance, and its unlikely that you could legally test this device anyway. I recommend you find a teacher that understands the dangers involved. An intelligent and wise teacher would recommend you don't even think about doing this. There are many books on rocketry, and I would recommend Sutton. I would also recommend you find a video of 'When Rockets Explode', seen on either the Discovery or TLC. If you want a safe introduction into rocketry, contact your local NAR or Tripoli chapter. Stay safe.

A quick list of problems I am encountering in my planning: 1. materials to use combustion chamber 2. is electroplating a metal mesh with silver ok if i use 80% h2o2? 3. how do I inject the h202 Note: I am not building the rocket yet, just the engine...also, it will not be a large rocket, small to start of I woulod appreciate ANY help given, even if it is a reference to a good informational book.
