Up until some recent rule changes, according to Natural Resources Canada, the combining of any chemicals or the making of a device which produces a gas above ambient needs authorization, not that it's hard to get. But even my peroxide motors required a permit. Actually as of late now the peroxide motors are on the restricted list because they use peroxide above 30%. I don't know what impact that would have had on our project but I recently inquired about 50% peroxide using my old permit number and had no problems receiving pricing and shipping details, however I did not make the purchase as I can't use it at this time of year anyway.

wouldn't that mean you need a permit/whatever to own a car?
or an air compressor?

Also if you wanted to, just overexpand the exhaust and you have made the worlds noisiest vacuum pump totally legit!.

Essentially it is not legal to own or fire a "none commercial rocket motor."

Some where there is a NAR regulation that say it's illegal to manufacture a device that creates a gas at anything but atmospheric pressure without proper authorization.

A friend of mine recently mentioned that the legal environment in Canada is such that one can't test small amateur engines - liquid fuel, for example.

That's not something which I though is the case, so I'd be glad if somebody, who may have more information, would give some details.
