How to make a rocket from a bottle - a toy for future Queen
All the pioneers of astronautics began their journey with rocket modeling. True, this was very risky, since the models worked on solid or liquid fuels, and therefore exploded once. But it was they who paved the way for large space rockets and modern cosmonautics. The model of an aircraft using the same principle of reactive thrust as the Soyuz or Proton carrier rocket can be built with your own hands. Its engine will run on mixed "fuel": hydrogen oxide (ie water) + compressed air. In principle, the same fuel was powered by powerful American engines that sent the Shuttles into orbit, and the Apollo to the Moon. We are proud of kinship!
A filling valve is a composite structure. The basis of it is a cork, which must tightly clog the "nozzle" of the water-air engine. In it we insert a nipple from an old camera of a bicycle or automobile tire. It needs to be fixed in such a way that the air, passing through the hose to the bottom of the launch pad, entered the "fuel tank". Then the valve is fixed in the opening of the starting table, stopper up.
Shells of our missiles are polyethylene bottles for water. To ensure that the rocket was more stable in flight, you can attach a fairing to the top of the fuel tank, which is served by the top of the other bottle. This is, so to speak, the basic construction. How to make a rocket from a bottle on - let your fantasy tell you: you can decorate with colors of all colors of the rainbow, you can try to turn into a kind of real coloring of space rockets, attach aerodynamic stabilizers. What are not today missiles that are made from bottles by enthusiasts!
On your marks! Our rocket, before it is finally installed on the launch pad, almost completely filled with water. The pump pumps air into it. Pressure and tension are increasing. Three, two, one, start! Our simple design is capable of climbing to the height of a ten-story house.
