Water Propelled Rocket

After spending so much time on the “instructables.com”,I am here with my first instructable . and in this instructable I am gonna show how to make a “water propelled rocket” ,along with the launcher, that goes 100ft up in the air.

Enough talking…..lets get started!!

·

¾ “ PVC pipe

· ¾ “ PVC endcaps X2

· ¾ “ PVC t-socket

· 2 to 4 empty soda bottles[ depends on the size of ur rocket]

· Plastic project file

· 8 to 10 zip ties

· PVC solvent cement

· Bicycle nozzle

· Epoxy adhesive

· Tape

· Burner or candle

· Bicycle pump

Tools:

· Drill machine

· Plier

· Scissor

· Hackshaw

For my

project I used 4 bottlesof 600ml.

Your choice depends on how big you want to make that rocket.

I forgot to click pictures while making the rocket.so, I made drawings

Which will guide you to make it. If u don’t understand anythingthen don’t hesitate to ask via comment.

After step 7
wrap a plastic project file around your rocket to give it a smooth and straight surface.

And to make the nose, twist the plastic sheet(project file) in shape of a cone and tape it on the top most part of the rocket

For the

launcher, cut the pvc pipe to length of 25” (or cut according to your need) using hackshaw.

Then measure and make a mark according to the length of ur rocket .

After the
marking, burn the pvc from where it is marked {see image]..when it will get loose then hold the pvc and move it in circular motion.

When it cools down you will see a bump in ur pvc pipe. This bump will act as a sealer for the rocket.

After that, join the 25” pipe to the one end of the T socket using pvc solvent cement.

Then cut two other pieces from the left over pvc.

· One 5” in length, & other

· 15” or 20” in length.

Then take 15” or 20” pvc pipe & cover its one end using one of the endcaps & seal it with pvc solvent cement

After that, take that sealed pipe & join its open end to the opposite end of the T-socket.

Now, to make the nozzle take another endcap & drill a in it of size of your bicycle nozzle.then attach the nozzle to the endcap.

Then,join the nozzled-endcap to your 5” pvc pipe. After doing that attach it to the left open end of the T-socket using pvc solvent cement.

And we are done!!

Yours launcher is ready!!

Take 8 zip ties (or according to your need)

Place them one beside another, with their locks facing upwards, on the sticky side of the tape .

Then, take another piece of tape & stick both the tapes together {see image & drawing}.

Then, wrap it around the 25” pipe just below that bump or sealer!!

The locks should hold the neck of the bottle tightly!

After that, take a piece of 1 ½ “pipe and make a hole in its side and tie a strong thread to it!

Then insert 25” pipe to it and leave it just under the zip ties!!

And we are ready to launch!

Fill your rocket with ¼ of its capacity. Attach it to the trigger, pump air in it, pull the trigger and whoa!!
