Abstract: A high density, generally recognized as safe, hybrid rocket motor is described, having a density-specific impulse similar to a solid rocket motor, with good performance approaching or equal to a liquid rocket motor. These high density hybrid motors resolve the packaging efficiency/effectiveness problems limiting the application of safe, low cost hybrid motor technology.

Abstract: Solid rocket motors are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a solid rocket motor includes a housing containing thin layers of fuel and thin layers of an inert oxidizer, separated by a thin nonconductive layer. The housing has a nozzle at the end for gas release and channeling. Prior to use, the inert oxidizer is activated by electrochemical oxidation which can generate an active oxidizer and additional fuel. Ignition of the oxidizer and fuel can be triggered whereby the contents of the housing can ignite, generating hot gasses to be channeled out through the nozzle to generate thrust. Replacing current state solid rocket motors with embodiments described herein can improve cost, safety and increase capability. The disclosed embodiments can be safe to transport, store, and handle. Additionally, there can be no moving parts unlike hybrid or liquid rocket motors.
