i tried this but it only went 19 ft i did every thing you said but it looked like the tube made it stop so i thought about adding a wheel to the tube would that work?
It's pretty awesome to see how famous you guys and your videos have become and then to watch this video and be like "HEY! That's the high school I went to!" That's definitely something I'm going to try!
This is fantastic. I can't help but wonder if it would be more effective to have a shorter piece of PVC. The tube you have drags on the ground and creates a lot of drag. On the other hand, if you made it too short, I imagine it would cause the car to spin around instead of going forwards - I'm sure the PVC hanging off the back is acting as a stabilizer. Might be worth some experimentation with differing lengths of PVC - but then, I imagine the EepyBirds have already done these tests.
@Cheesius Yep, you're spot on! We tried shorter and the rocket car did indeed spin out of control. We did find a tube available from a specialty plastics manufacturer that is lighter than PVC and that was a bit better. But we set ourselves the goal of making this rocket car with only what you can find from your local hardware store, so PVC won on that front.
u guys rock the house : ) : ) :) :) :) :) :) :)

You could greatly minimize drag by putting wheels on the tube as well, which might yield a much farther distance. Still, I love the design.
