Developed a Hybrid Rocket Engine Powered by Plastic

From earth to space, from land to sea, from air environmental health and climate has become extremely important. For this reason, environmental improvements are made in all vehicles working with engines. green solutions trying to be produced. Perhaps the most interesting of these is the rocket engine powered by plastic.

Developed by the UK-based startup Pulsar Fusion, recycled hybrid rocket engine powered by plastic tested. The rocket uses a hybrid fuel made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and a nitrous oxide oxidizer found in plastic products, including detergent and beverage bottles. This has become an interesting innovation for powering energy-intensive rockets.

Tests passed positive

Pulsar Fusion has conducted the first static test of this hybrid engine at the UK Ministry of Defense military base. An international show was also held for space industry customers from Switzerland. Richard Dinan, CEO of Pulsar Fusion, satisfied with the test shots saying, “Testing a British rocket on UK soil is new. Pulsar is among the rare companies worldwide to build and test these technologies. We have a wonderful team of scientists with a wealth of experience to thank for making such milestones possible.” said.

ubiquitous, difficult to properly and consistently recycle, and a plastics perceived as a source of pollution Using it to launch rockets can be a powerful step. One of the main goals of Pulsar Fusion is to combat nuclear fusion propulsion. Fusion could actually halve the travel time to Mars and reduce the need for rockets to carry heavy fuel payloads into space, but the ‘green’ rocket Pulsar Fusion is testing could be an unlimited source of power.
