Model rocket fuel typically consists of a combination of a solid oxidizer and a fuel binder. Common oxidizers include ammonium perchlorate or potassium nitrate, while the fuel binder can be made from materials like hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB). Some fuels may also contain additional additives for stabilization and performance enhancement. This mixture allows for a controlled combustion process, providing thrust to propel the rocket.
Modern model rocket fuel is a solid fuel.
Solid fuel
Please see related link below.
There are two main types of rocket engines: Solid fuel and liquid fuel. Liquid fuel rocket engines are usually considered significantly better than solid propulsion units, however, they are also significantly more expensive.
"Model rocket fuel" is basically in the form of single-shot engines. You could, I suppose, strap one to a stick and call it a "bottle rocket", but I don't think it would fly very well (and the engine would likely burn off the stick).
somethinjg that burns good, soaked in gas, and compressed.
Yes, yes it will. How it will respond will depend primarily on the chemicals used.
liquid fuel
The fuel tank capacity for the BSA Rocket 3 would be about 2.5 Gallons although they are rare to find. This is for an old model from 1969 that the tank was found for sale.
Thrust (due to solid or liquid fuel burning)
The three types of rocket fuels are liquid rocket fuel, solid rocket fuel, and hybrid rocket fuel. Liquid rocket fuel consists of liquid components that are combined and ignited to produce thrust. Solid rocket fuel is a mixture of solid components that burns to produce thrust. Hybrid rocket fuel combines elements of both liquid and solid rocket fuels.
Rocket Fuel Inc. (FUEL) had its IPO in 2013.
