Anything that reacts at a very fast rate and creates a lot of resultant material that expands very quickly and as much as possible.
Oxy-acetylene and gunpowder can be used in small rockets.
The bigguns are a bit more complicated and use a mix of compressed and cooled Hydrogen and Oxygen:Ozone mix(3:1)

What kinds of fuel do liquid fuel rockets use?
Liquid rockets can use a single liquid, two liquids or, rarely, three fuels (more correctly called propellants). The most common type uses two propellants, generally one liquid fuel and one oxidizer -- such as liquid hydrogen (fuel) and liquid oxygen (oxidizer).
What kind of fuel does rockets take?
pee
What kind of fuel does rockets use?
almost anything that burns:gasolinekerosenehydrazinerubberasphaltaluminum powderetc.But remember the rocket must also carry its own oxidizer.
For what purposes were rockets initially developed?
rockets were used for military use and fireworks
Does a space shuttle use a propeller?
Rockets

How do rockets fly in outer space where there is no air?
The rockets that have been used carry their one oxygen for the combustion. Or they use a fuel that dosn't need to ignite. These latter propellants rely only on Newtons second law.
What has the author F A Williams written?
F. A. Williams has written: 'Fundamental aspects of solid propellant rockets' -- subject(s): Solid propellant rockets, Solid propellants
What is the chemical equation for rockets?
A rocket hasn't a chemical equation; for a detailed discussion about propellants see the link below.
Why do rockets fall to pieces?
A rocket that falls to pieces during launch is known as a multistage rocket. These rockets use two or more stages, each with their own engines and propellants. During launch, the stages are jettisoned to reduce mass and improve thrust for the remaining stages.
In 2001 non-airbreathing rockets have one of two types of main propulsion systems What are tyey?
LIQUID PROPELLENTS OR SOLID PROPELLANTS
What gas is used in rockets?
Other than rockets that use solid propellants or liquids (hydrazine, kerosene), large multi-stage rockets can be fueled with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The frigid liquid form is used because it provides a greater volume of propellant than simply pressurized gas. The more fuel it has, the faster and higher a rocket can go.
What kind of energy do rockets use to fly?
Chemical energy (from burning the fuel)
What are some books about rockets?
Some books about rockets include "Ignition!: An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants" by John D. Clark, "Rocket Boys" by Homer Hickam, and "SpaceX: Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species" by Martin Giles.
What has the author Fredric B Clarke written?
Fredric B. Clarke has written: 'A study of the ignition lag of spontaneous rocket propellants' -- subject(s): Combustion, Fuel, Rockets (Aeronautics)
What is the difference between water rockets and modern rockets?
Water rockets use water and air modern rockets use thrust and oxygen.
What kind of rockets glared redly in The Star-Spangled Banner?
congreve rockets
