Water Bottle Rocket Resource


The pdf/website given below is a link to an instructional guide to assembling a simple water bottle rocket with raw materials (a list of possible materials is given). It explains that bottle rockets use water and compressed air to propel the rocket upwards. This website can be useful to the assembly and construction of our water bottle rocket because it provides basic information on how to do so. This site also provides easy to use diagrams that assist you in adding (optional) fins, nose cones, or parachutes. The website explains why fins can greatly benefit or ruin your rocket, and why parachutes are for the more experienced rocket builders.
