A steam rocket also known as a hot water rocket uses water held in a pressure vessel at a high temperature, such that its saturated vapor pressure is significantly greater than ambient pressure. The water is allowed to escape as steam through a rocket nozzle to produce thrust . ref http www.tecaeromex.com ingles vapori.html tecaeromex steam rockets ref They are best known for their use in rocket powered car and bikes. Sometimes a Hydrogen peroxide Use as propellant hydrogen peroxide monopropellant rocket is called a steam rocket , but this is not quite accurate, as the propellant is not water, and the exhaust is a mixture of steam and oxygen. Principle of operation Water, while under pressure, is heated up to a high temperature approx. 250 500 C . As the hot water goes through the nozzle usually a de Laval nozzle and the pressure reduces, the water flashes to steam pressing on the nozzle, and leaving at high speed. By the recoil the rocket accelerates in the opposite direction to the steam. The nozzle of hot water rockets must be able to withstand high pressure, high temperatures and the particularly corrosive nature of hot water. The simplest design has a pressurised water tank where the water is heated before launch, however, this gives a very low exhaust velocity since the high latent heat of vapourisation means that very little actual steam is produced and the exhaust consists .... ref http www.neofuel.com moonicerocket AIAA 97 3172, Nuclear Heated Steam Rocket Using Lunar ... a steam rocket designed by Robert Truax Art Arfons s Neptune I dragster, also used a steam rocket ...
