So I wanted to see the power produced by my rocket, but I don’t have a scale (I didn’t at the time of writing), so I tried attaching a 100 g test weight to the rocket
it turns out it was a bit much for it in its current configuration
Results:
It went about 5-10 cm before the nozzle widened enough to lessen the trust below minimum to move the weight
Engine deformed from the weight and heat
Before Burn After Burn (With Molten Saltpeter Removed)


Further Tests with less weight should be performed, and a scale should be acquired.
