The basis for almost all Walter rocket motors is hydrogen peroxide. With the chemical formula of (H2O2) it is an oxygen rich liquid which, upon decomposition, gives out heat at a rate equivalent to gunpowder.

As well as methane and diesel fuel

Does rockets use fossil fuels?

Most rockets today use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as fuel, not fossil fuels. These fuels react to produce water vapor and can be considered eco-friendly compared to fossil fuels. However, some rockets still use a combination of liquid oxygen and kerosene as fuel, which is a fossil fuel.

What substances is a liquid fuel used in rocket engines?

There are several possibilities. The largest NASA rockets used liquid hydrogen (with liquid oxygen as the oxidizer).Hydrazine is one of the more powerful fuels, but it is dangerous and difficult to handle. Some rockets use a version of kerosene, the same chemical used as jet fuel.Liquid hydrogen. Because it has such i low boiling point, it must be super cooled to liquid form.

Why petroleum products are less used in the rockets?

Petroleum products are less commonly used in rockets because they are heavier and less energy-dense compared to other rocket fuels like liquid hydrogen or hydrazine. These other fuels provide better performance in terms of thrust and efficiency, making them more suitable for rocket propulsion. Additionally, the combustion of petroleum products can produce more harmful emissions and residues compared to other fuels.


Which fuel is used in rockets?

There are two three types of fuel used in rockets 1) Solid fuel - an aluminum powder used for an initial boost into space. 2) Liquid fuel - usually super-cold liquid hydrogen and oxygen is used is the Space Shuttle's main engines during launch. 3) Hypergolic fuel - Monomethylhydrazine and Nitrogen Tetroxide does not need a source of ignition. It is mainly used for maneuvering in space.
