Rocket Power!
Remember that show Rocket Power? Ya, the one with that boy who had the orange dreads and the Hawaiian named Tito. Their theme song starts with, "We are riders, on a mission". That's us. We are on a mission to get our bottle rockets to stay in the air as long as possible. The link that Trevor posted, http://www.patrickcole.com/aiw/imd140/project.htm was a great intro on how to actually make a bottle rocket. We will use this resource to get started. Then the link that I posted, http://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=2144, we can use to make adjustments to make our rocket as best we can. This link helps to answer questions such as how much water to use and how to use fins so that the rocket will perform as well as it can. This is our first Team H2 Whoa pic. Hopefully we will be this excited when the bottle rocket test is complete.
I appreciate how your link explained some of the mechanics behind the rocket, such as how an imbalance of water and air would affect it. Although this project will involve trial and error, I think that the advice in the link will serve well towards the accomplishment of a successful launch.
