Water Rocket

PIRA: 1N22.20

Materials: Water Rocket, Launcher, Bike Pump/Compressor, Water

This demo is to show how rockets can be propelled by more than just fire and chemicals. This rocket also uses more physics of rockets like center of mass placement, fins, and aerodynamics. The rocket can also be used to show off and explain different components of rockets because we have a fully built one in the demo room.
