What is a water rocket?A water rocket is a vehicle that produces thrust by expelling water through a nozzle at its rear end. They are most frequently constructed from plastic soda-bottles and compressed air is used to expel the water. Site contents:Rockets:Descriptions of my rockets so far. Construction:Contains information on how to construct water rockets Physics:Here i will try to explain some of the theoretical background behind water rockets. There are a lot of interesting effects that takes place during the flight of a water rocket, and if you give some of them a thought, you can avoid many gray hairs. Design:Knowing about the physics and the techniques used in construction, it is time to put them together. Good performance, easy construction, good looks and affordability is what makes a water rocket - and do not forget the FUN! Enjoyment is central in water rocketry. Links:Water rockets are made and flown throughout the world and the web is the place to go if you want to know more. There is well-establiced communities, informative websites, and don't forget to check out YouTube for videos. |
