@norio79 Using a smaller nozzle gives you lower acceleration but a longer burn. A larger nozzle will give you high acceleration for a shorter amount of time. If you are making a glider I would suggest the smaller nozzle around 9-10mm. So that the wings don't rip off when you launch it.
We watched your rocket videos during our lab in our college physics class
and everyone loved your rockets! We are designing a 2L water rocket powered glider.
Was just wondering what nozzle diameter you would recommed for 100 psi?
Thanks.

well, that result was to be expected but I suppose it is of academic relevance.
