Richard has used the household articles like hand screwdriver, power screwdriver, metal pot, pipe cutter and other common materials to design his armature rocket motor, which can launch a rocket in a suitable location like other motor.

He used several inches of slow-burning canon fuse, copper end cap, 1/2 inch copper pipe for the motor casting. For fueling, he took table sugar, heavy corn syrup, salt-peter and a glass of water. All these materials will not cost more than two dollars. The amateur rocket motor is in the testing stage. It can last for at least three firings.
