Composite Propellant (Misc)
The propellant in composite solid rocket motors consists of a fuel and oxidizer which are separate, but mixed together. This contrasts with motors, such as black powder model rocket motors, in which the propellant is made up of a substance ontaining oxygen and fuel in the same compound.
The video below illustrates the assembly and function of a typical composite propellant (APCP) rocket motor as used in many hobby rockets.
