New Nozzle Designs

Yesterday Myles, Ethan, and I made three more batches of fuel. The first one we put some old fuel in, but it turned brown from the caramel and didn't turn out well. The second batch we packed in some motors and succeeded in getting our rocket off the ground, but only a little ways. With the last batch, we made a motor and put it in the rocket car. This was very cool as it shot forward a few meters and then the motor exploded out of the car and rolled around on the tennis court. Ethan had the video camera, so there should have been video as well as pictures, but something came up when uploading to the computer and they were all deleted. However, we do have the pictures (also from Ethan!):

The first batch.

The result of the entire first batch burning...
The second batch (a good one!)
