Delivers on the title, well done. Half the time on HN I am disappointed to find that I have mistakenly clicked on an article about some new software framework that has co-opted common words to make me think I’m about to read something more interesting.

I'm going to go on a limb and assume this is a reference to https://rocket.rs/ ?

I don’t want to pick on them specially.

I mean I get that nobody’s going to name their project Just-Another-Disappointment-Son-Get-Used-To-It

That was actually my fear when clicking the link. Although rocket is great if you need to spin up a server in rust

Depending on how important power consumption is, might consider experimenting with fuel injectors and PWM (maybe into a small reservoir to smooth out the flow).

Integza has a Youtube channel creating several types of rocket engines.

Integza's channel is fun, but he repeatedly does dangerous things. Please don't use him as a learning resource.

There's a great tech ingredients series on homemade rockets and motors -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiAlUojF3Wo&list=PLzrI14lOlS...

NAR also has some good resource pages -- https://www.nar.org/
