The water rocket It is a simple homemade rocket based on the principle of action and reaction. Its operation consists solely of putting air into a plastic bottle with water and when the pressure becomes very great the rocket will be propelled by a jet of pressurized water.
What looks like a fudge or a simple toy for children has much greater effects, since it has been possible to launch water rockets more than 500 meters high. Surely you are becoming more interested in the subject.
In principle this was going to be a post, but I have found so much information about the Water Rockets o Water rockets I've decided to turn it into a section. In this way we can gather much more information.
In the next few days we will be posting information.
On some occasion we have talked about water rockets. But what we leave today is rather a work of aeronautical engineering.
It is a two-stage water rocket, which reaches up to 250 meters in height; amazing.
An image of the rocket so that you get an idea of what we are talking about.
Yes; they are water bottles :)
Let's talk about how to make a water rocket. The principle of operation is very simple, it works by the principle of action - reaction due to the air introduced into the bottle.
For the one who has never heard of a water rocket, is a plastic bottle, partially filled with water, into which pressurized air is introduced and then let it escape through an outlet hole and propel the bottle.
From now on, the modifications are endless, at the tip of the rocket, the fins, the shuttle, the exit orifice or the shape and quantity of the air injected.
