Water rocket launch. A water rocket is a type of model rocket using water as its reaction mass. The water is forced out by a pressurized gas, typically compressed air. Like all rocket engines, it operates on the principle of Newton's third law of motion. Water rocket hobbyists typically use one or more plastic soft drink bottles as the rocket's ...
The Tornado Tube is a device made of molded plastic that can be used to connect two two-liter soda bottles. When one of the bottles is filled with liquid and the two bottles are connected with a Tornado Tube, they may be used as a children's educational toy demonstrating a vortex.
Although several projects take place in DARE, the group's two flagship projects are Stratos and Project Sparrow. Stratos includes the Stratos I rocket which was launched in 2009 and set the European altitude record for amateur rocketry at 12.5 km. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The follow-up of this rocket was the Stratos II+, which was launched on 16 October ...
On October 16, 2015, Delft Aerospace Rocket Engineering (DARE) launched the Stratos II+ rocket from El Arenosillo, in Spain, to an altitude of 21.457 km with a successful water landing and capsule recovery. This broke the original amateur European altitude record of 12.3 km set by DARE in 2009 with the launch of Stratos I.
A steam rocket (also known as a hot water rocket) is a thermal rocket that uses water held in a pressure vessel at a high temperature, such that its saturated vapor pressure is significantly greater than ambient pressure. The water is allowed to escape as steam through a rocket nozzle to produce thrust. [1]
UKAYRoC Logo. The UK Youth Rocketry Challenge (UKRoC) [1] is a youth rocket building competition, established in 2007. It provides secondary school student teams (of 3 to 5 members aged 11 to 18), a realistic experience in designing a flying aerospace vehicle that meets a specified set of mission and performance requirements.

The film canister rocket uses a solid fuel mixed with a liquid fuel to create a gas that escapes out of the bottom. The gas is carbon dioxide (CO 2), the liquid is water (H 2 O), and the solid is an effervescent tablet. When the H 2 O is mixed with an effervescent tablet, it produces the gas CO 2. The reaction time depends on the surface area ...
