This compact and innovative 3D-printed rocket engine is engineered for enthusiasts and experimenters looking for a low-cost, easily assembled propulsion system. Unlike conventional rocket engines that require complex fuel mixtures and expensive components, this design runs on propane, using a minimalistic setup consisting of sheet metal, a DC motor, and a battery.

Key Features:
3D-Printed Combustion Chamber & Nozzle
The core of the engine is 3D-printed using high-temperature-resistant materials or metal-infused filament. The design optimizes fuel combustion while minimizing material waste.

Propane-Powered Simplicity
This engine eliminates the need for complicated liquid fuel systems. Propane, easily sourced from standard canisters, acts as the primary fuel, offering clean and efficient combustion.

DC Motor-Driven Airflow
A small DC motor and battery-powered fan or pump regulate airflow and pressure, ensuring a consistent burn without complex turbopumps.

Sheet Metal Reinforcement
To handle high temperatures and structural integrity, sheet metal is used as a heat shield and support frame, preventing warping and increasing durability.

How It Works:
Ignition System: The propane is released into the combustion chamber. A simple igniter or spark system initiates combustion.
Thrust Generation: The controlled burn of propane generates high-pressure gases, which accelerate through the 3D-printed nozzle to produce thrust.
Airflow Assistance: The DC motor ensures a steady supply of oxygen or airflow to optimize fuel efficiency.
Adjustability: By controlling propane flow and motor speed, the thrust can be fine-tuned for different applications.
