A small manufactured rocket cooking stove A rocket stove Rocket stove illustration. A rocket stove is an efficient and hot burning stove using small-diameter wood fuel. [1] Fuel is burned in a simple combustion chamber containing an insulated vertical chimney, which ensures almost complete combustion prior to the flames reaching the cooking surface.
A pebble style rocket mass heater installed at a home in Montana. A rocket mass heater (RMH), also known as rocket stove mass heater, is a form of slow-release radiant heating system, designed to primarily heat people and secondarily to warm areas in line of sight around it. Variations of RMH can also be extended for the functions of cooking ...
Robert Hutchings Goddard (October 5, 1882 – August 10, 1945) [1] was an American engineer, professor, physicist, and inventor who is credited with creating and building the world's first liquid-fueled rocket, which was successfully launched on March 16, 1926. [2] By 1915 his pioneering work had dramatically improved the efficiency of the ...
In 1912, Robert Esnault-Pelterie published a lecture [71] on rocket theory and interplanetary travel. He independently derived Tsiolkovsky's rocket equation, did basic calculations about the energy required to make round trips to the Moon and planets, and he proposed the use of atomic power (i.e. radium) to power a jet drive.

Aerospike engine. The aerospike engine is a type of rocket engine that maintains its aerodynamic efficiency across a wide range of altitudes. [1] It belongs to the class of altitude compensating nozzle engines. [2] Aerospike engines were proposed for many single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) designs.
A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...
A wood-burning stove (or wood burner or log burner in the UK) is a heating or cooking appliance capable of burning wood fuel, often called solid fuel, and wood-derived biomass fuel, such as sawdust bricks. Generally the appliance consists of a solid metal (usually cast iron or steel) closed firebox, often lined by fire brick, and one or more ...
The thrust of a rocket engine nozzle can be defined as: [2][3][5][6] the term in brackets is known as equivalent velocity, The specific impulse is the ratio of the thrust produced to the weight flow of the propellants. It is a measure of the fuel efficiency of a rocket engine.
