Seychelles Nation - Education news

About us:

Caramel Rockets GmbH is comprised of a small team of scientists, engineers, students, and inventors. We are located in Vienna, Austria. We have permission to launch a sub-orbital rocket in Seychelles, which was granted to us by the Vice President of Seychelles. This makes us only one of the 58 companies in the world that received such a great opportunity.

In our factory we intent to produce not only rockets, but also other new inventions that you can read about if you scroll down for more information.

Our main goal is to give new opportunities to young scientists to test out their ideas and inventions, and together in the future explore space, and bring exponentially more benefits back to Earth.

About founder

Ryu Issey Itahashi
Founder, CEO

Issey finished High School at the age of 13 and is presently learning Rocket Engineering as well as preparing for A level University exams in Higher Math and Physics. Issey speaks 6 languages and is an Expert Gemmologist with diploma from Gemmology institute in Germany. The CEO of Caramel Rockets GmbH is currently living inside of a 14-year-old body.

Few words from Issey:

“I created company Caramel Rockets with target to invent and produce components and machines related to Rocket Development, but my main objective is to inspire young people who wish to develop or improve technologies and test own scientific ideas, to join us.

My long goal objective is to create a private European Space company, where scientists who would like to work on Rockets, and realize Rocket Launches, can do so. Presently European citizens are very limited in this area since national governments are not as involved in Rocket Technologies as USA (which finances about 60 % of the whole world space exploration program). USA government however does not allow to non-American citizens to be hired to work for any space company located in USA, including for private companies like Space X or Virgin Galactic.

In the other regions of the world, there is a problem of very high secrecy, where national space agencies are limiting the information they share, so it is very hard to connect young scientists with real life rocket launches to test their small ideas or inventions, however cool they might be.

I would like to create wonderful exploration of ideas with European citizens like me and enjoyed learning new things, with respect and humble heart to all humankind.

Rocket

Caramel Rocket’s first goal will be to launch a rocket into space on sugar and potassium nitrate. Although it might seem strange at first, there is science behind it, flat earthers.

We will prepare for multiple launches because we expect the first few might blow up like vlogging channels on YouTube. Afterwards we will adjust our rocket and try again with a slightly worse mood, but better rocket.

Our rocket will be much smaller compared to the ones of SpaceX or NASA. It will be less than 50kg and be less than 5 meters high. Like many other rockets, also our will emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, but all the carbon dioxide emitted is derived from sugar, which is derived from carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Therefore, our rocket is carbon neutral and does not contribute to global warming.

Getting to space using only sugar fuel is very hard, so we will combine it with a balloon. The balloon will lift it to a height of around 20-30 km in which the atmosphere is less dense.

Our rockets will be made in our steel factory in Slovakia. We plan to make and test our engine in Summer 2022. Afterwards, we will begin building all the parts of the rocket, which will then be shipped to our launch site around Winter 2022. To achieve absolute carbon neutral ideology, we will be working on the ability to produce the rocket itself also with carbon neutral technologies.

Our launch site from where we are going to be sending our rocket to space is Seychelles!

Launch Permit

Seychellois were incredibly nice to us and granted us permission to launch our rocket which plans to exceed the stratosphere (50km) from their territorial zone in 2022/23.

Seychelles as a launch site has many benefits for the launch of our rocket. Most rockets launch in the direction of earth’s rotation, which give the rockets a sort of boost when launching. The place where the earth’s surface rotation is the fastest, is at the equator.

Seychelles just happens to be a few hundred kilometers south from the equator line. Earth rotation speed at Seychelles coordinates is around 461 m/s or 1669 km/h.

The area of our rocket flight path also has a lower gravitational pull compared to the rest of the world.

In case something goes wrong, we have the Indian ocean to cushion our calculated descent without disturbing anyone.

And of course, after our launch we are already in the best place to celebrate, or drown if we fail…

For investors

Except for our rocket we are working on a number of inventions to benefit the world.

Oxygen Generator

We are working on producing a new type of oxygen generator which was until now only used in space stations. We are aiming for this to be used in hospitals for patients.

Compared to industrial cryogenic plant which requires delivery to the hospital, often located in far locations and in which cases the oxygen must be transported in expensive pressurized cylinders to the hospitals, our product can be produced directly on the premises of the hospital.

Estimated cost of industrial oxygen including Transportation is between 1.0 USD to 2.0 USD

Our oxygen generator estimated cost is around 2.0 USD per kg but with benefit of having immediate access to the oxygen production at the hospital and simple and quick installation (300-500 euro). The generator will produce 99% oxygen very silently.

Virtual tower for Lightning grounding

We have found a new way to ground lightning instead of the traditional copper/aluminum lightning rod. Our virtual tower will sense an incoming lightning strike and activate to protect the surroundings. The size of our virtual tower is equivalent to the size of a 2 liter bottle however unlike the traditional lightning rod it doesn’t have to be placed at a high altitude. Cost will be similar or possibly lower than a traditional lightning rod with benefits like easy installation and no impact on architecture design of any building, as it will be visually invisible. Another advantage will be installations in the planes, trains, airports, and rocket launching sites.

Space Engine powered by Alpha Particles

Space engines propel spaceships by ejecting particles. Existing methods for expelling particles to proper a spacecraft can be driven by chemical reactions, heating, or electromagnetic field. Caramel Rockets company will design a new type of engine, where particles are emitted from a nuclear engine without converting the energy into electricity or heat. A large sheet of concave metallic foil covered with a material emitting alpha particles from the top of the shell, will propel the spacecraft, allowing it to build up a speed that will in 2 years reach a 100 kilometres per second.

This technology can be used to correct the orbits of satellites, including small satellites, as well as for interplanetary flights.

For Students Worldwide

We will be creating some educational videos on our projects as well as explaining some interesting, good to know topics on the way. In our videos/lessons you will learn about why people living on earth need space, and the history of the conquest of space, about the technolo- gies for manufacturing and launching rockets, about the dangers of flying and being in space, about satellites and interplanetary flights and much more.
