How will you be using the black powder to propel your vehicle?

The black powder will propel through some sort of hole in the back of the car, inside of some sort of small container within the car itself, making it very compact and explosive. It'll be lit using whatever, and hopefully it'll go. I just don't know how/where to position the powder so it goes.

so, a black powder rocket engine
be careful
make many prototypes and stay the fuck back, you may end up with a bomb
try a small cylinder to contain the engine. one that fits into a hole in your chassis, so if something goes wrong the engine can be replaced without replacing the chassis

That's similar to what I was thinking, do you think PVC piping for a chassis and cylinder would contain it?

PVC is very versatile for a chassis, but you'd have to step the pressure rating up quite a bit to use as a motor housing. Don't forget, especially with black powder, anything like a rocket that is not constructed properly becomes (very quickly) a bomb.

DP. Also, Double post.
Did your group CHOOSE black powder as a method of propulsion, or is that a requirement?
