Hybrid Rocket Fuel
Hybrid rocket fuel combines two types of propellants: a solid fuel and a liquid oxidizer. The solid fuel burns in the presence of a liquid oxidizer, which helps create thrust for propulsion. This setup offers advantages of both solid and liquid rockets—it is simpler and safer than liquid fuels, while also allowing for some adjustability in thrust compared to solid fuels. Hybrid rockets have gained attention for applications in space travel and research, as they can provide a more controlled burn and potentially lower costs while still being effective for launching payloads into space.
