Yeah it didn't say what type of propellant either. I know you can juice it with things like aluminum dust mixed in there. Oxygen and Propane with AL dust would kick.
One of the links says it's KNO3 and sugar
Salt Petre? And Sugar, not all that different from the first rockets.
Potassium nitrate and sugar just as proof of concept. The first video is worth a look. He's released another but I haven't had a chance to check it yet.
Has he released another video? I only see one on his YouTube page.
