The baking soda and citric acid are both dry powders, so they can be mixed together with no reaction. However, this mixture must remain separated from the water in the syringe. The water is at the bottom of the syringe, the mixed powder is at the top in a tiny perforated basket lined with kleenex. Put a drop of dish soap in the water to break the surface tension so that it can run up into the chemicals when the rocket starts decelerating. K.
The idea of bending the ring fin structure came from an earlier failed flight where the structure bent accidentally, and the rocket flew horizontally just like an airplane. This rocket was supposed to fly straight up, then transition to horizontal flight on its way down when the ring fin structure bent. No parachute would be necessary. Sadly, the fin structure bent on the way up (see movie part 2). Kenneth S.
I use a mounted electric handheld drill to turn the bottle at low speed, and control the speed by a foot pedal. The carbon fiber filament is pulled through a liquid bath of polyester resin with hardener added, and the fiber is moved by hand back and forth beside the spinning bottle. In this way you can wind axial, radial and helical layers. It takes a bit of practice, so plan on trying a few bottles as part of the learning curve. Ken S.
A spring wire clip held on to the nozzle. I pulled a string to release the clip, and then the pressure in the rocket pushed the filling plug out.
At 60 psi, use a nozzle size of 0.180 inches diameter, 200 ml of 20% dish soap and water as the fuel. Make your empty rocket as light as possible (60 grams max.) This is similar to the AntiGravity SkyLab rocket kit, which flies to about 250 feet altitude. KS
Do you mean the water rocket world record, or do you mean the pop bottle rocket world record? The water rocket world record is higher, somewhere around 2000', but they didn't use a pop bottle. This is the pop bottle rocket world record. KS.
me and my partners broke the record for our water bottle rocket. our teacher timed us by the last part of the rocket that lands and we had a parachute shoot out of the rocket. it eventually floated out of sight and he marked it down for 2 minutes and 15 seconds even though it was still over 100 feet in the air (the parachute)
Short of getting some excellent fins from AntiGravity Research. you can make great fins from polystyrene foam picnic plates. Make three rectangles about 3 inches by 6 inches. Mount them to your rocket as low as possible, usually around the neck or cap of the bottle. You can use hot melt glue if you don't mind repairing the fins after each flight. AntiGravity fins mount using elastic bands, so they don't break on impact with the ground. KS.
There is a syringe at the top of the rocket, with baking soda and citric acid powder in the top and water in the bottom. When the rocket stops accelerating, the water runs up into the powder and starts a chemical reaction releasing CO2 gas. The gas extends the syringe, lifting the nose cone and an elastic band pulls the parachute bundle out. KS
that parachute system is pretty cool (: btw instead of that fiber wire thing (which i guess youre using because its strong) you can use aluminium tape.. its really thick and .. just thick and sticky or electrical tape (also very strong) but im not sure if you already did use that? (:
Ah, that's a very cool chute deployment system. I thought you used the simple method of just tucking end the chute and strings in the front. That's what I do with mine, but of course it's a lot simplier and low altitude compare to yours.
The water foams up when you fill the bottle with air, effectively mixing the water and air in a compressible slurry. This raises the center of gravity making the rocket more stable, makes better use of the energy by eliminating the water-first-then-air inefficiencies, and allows use of a delaval-type expansion nozzle to accelerate the exhaust as much as possible.

Apart from fulfilling an important role with regards to testing the best way of wrapping the carbon fibre/Kevlar filament to achieve maximum pressurisation potential, all kids love to make something explode! ;-)
And at these pressures, it's a serious bang!
Hence the distance kept and safety precautions...
My question is: where can I get the carbon fibre yarn? I can only find pre-woven fabric or mat...
