  2. Water rocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_rocket

    Simplified animation of how a water rocket works. 1) A bubble of compressed air is added and pressurizes the contents of the bottle. 2) The bottle is released from the pump. 3) The water is pushed out through the nozzle by the compressed air. 4) The bottle moves away from the water because it follows Newton's Third Law.

  3. Two-liter bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-liter_bottle

    The two-liter bottle is a common container for soft drinks, beer, and wine. These bottles are produced from polyethylene terephthalate, also known as PET plastic, or glass using the blow molding process. Bottle labels consist of a printed, tight-fitted plastic sleeve. A resealable screw-top allows the contents to be used at various times while ...

  4. Liquid rocket propellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_rocket_propellant

    Liquid rocket propellant. The highest specific impulse chemical rockets use liquid propellants (liquid-propellant rockets). They can consist of a single chemical (a monopropellant) or a mix of two chemicals, called bipropellants. Bipropellants can further be divided into two categories; hypergolic propellants, which ignite when the fuel and ...

  5. Soda geyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_geyser

    Experimental measurements suggest that as many as 14 million bubbles are produced per liter of soda in this experiment. [20] Carbonated sodas contain elevated levels of carbon dioxide under pressure. The solution becomes supersaturated with carbon dioxide when the bottle is opened, and the pressure is released. Under these conditions, carbon ...

  6. Dry ice bomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_ice_bomb

    Dry ice bombs are commonly made from a container such as a plastic bottle, water and dry ice. The bottle is partly filled with water. Chunks of dry ice are added and the container is closed tightly. As the solid carbon dioxide warms, it sublimates to gas and the pressure in the bottle increases. Bombs typically rupture within 30 seconds to half ...

  7. Vacuum flask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_flask

    A vacuum flask (also known as a Dewar flask, Dewar bottle or thermos) is an insulating storage vessel that slows the speed at which its contents change in temperature. It greatly lengthens the time over which its contents remain hotter or cooler than the flask's surroundings by trying to be as adiabatic as possible.

  8. Consumer fireworks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_fireworks

    Daytime fireworks include most bottle rockets, smoke balls, firecrackers, and other fireworks that emit very little or no light. Some examples of daytime consumer fireworks include: Skyrocket — Launch into the air, sometimes with a high-pitched whistling sound, with a report at the end. Some varieties may emit sparks upon launch.

  9. Composite overwrapped pressure vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_overwrapped...

    A COPV inside a sounding rocket. A composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) is a vessel consisting of a thin, non-structural liner wrapped with a structural fiber composite, designed to hold a fluid under pressure. The liner provides a barrier between the fluid and the composite, preventing leaks (which can occur through matrix microcracks ...
