TUTORIALS LEARN HOW TO BUILD WATER ROCKETS

SIMPLE WATER ROCKET

This   simple   water   rocket   is   made   of   materials   you use   everyday    and   is   build   within   a   few   hours .   The pressure   vessel   consists   of   a   single   plastic   bottle.   In this   tuorial,   we   not   only   show   you   the   construction of   the   rocket   but   also   of   a   safe   launcher.   If   you want,   you   can   also   add   a   recovery   system       to   your rocket.   You   need   help   with   the   construction?   We offer   workshops    where   you   can   build   and   launch exactly this rocket.

FOR BEGINNERS

If    you    already    know    how    to    build    larger    water rockets   (you   will   find   a   detailed   tutorial   if   you   scroll down)   made   of   multiple   bottles,   or   if   you   want   to launch   a   small   payload   you   will   need   more   thrust   to   lift   your   rocket.   The   simplest   way   to   achieve   this is   to   increase   the   nozzle   diameter   of   your   rocket   - but   therefore   you   will   need   a   new   launcher.   In   this tutorial,     we     show     you     the     construction     of     a launcher   suitable   for   rockets   with   a   volume   of   up to   5   liters .   For   even   large   rockets,   we   suggest   using a   Full   Bore   Launcher.   You   can   find   a   tutorial   to   build such a launcher below.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

If   you   want   to   go   a   step   further,   check   out   our tutorials   about   the   components   of   advanced   high performance      water      rockets.      We      use      these components   in   our   current   rockets,   so   you   can   be sure    that    the    instructions    are    precise    and    the components   will   work   very   well.   Just   click   on   the components    you    are    interested    in    to    get    to    the tutorial.

3D-DRUCK KOMPONENTEN

ONE STEP FURTHER

In   the   last   few   years,   3D   printers   have   become   an incredible    powerful    tool    to    create    components. This   is   especially   true   for   water   rockets,   because 3D   printed   components   are   light,   affordable   and water          resistant.          In          cooperation          with DLR_School_Lab,    we    offer    a    variety    of    different components   which   you   can   download,   modify   and print.

To   succeed   with   the   construction   of   a   water   rocket,   you   will   have to    work    very    precisely    and    carefully.    Especially    some    of    the adhesives   are   pretty   dangerous.   Thus,   please   wear   gloves   when working   with   adhesive   or   epoxy   and   don‘t   breathe   in   the   gases.   It is    recommended    to    work    outside    whenever    toxic    gases    could develop.    The    launch    of    a    water    rocket    may    needs    permission from   the   competent   authority,   depending   on   your   location.   You need   the   permission   of   the   landowner   if   you   launch   on   foreign territory.    Please    wear    safety    goggles    when    pressure    testing    or launching   your   rocket.   Keep   a   safe   distance   to   the   pressurized rocket.    We    can    not    guarantee    the    accuracy,    completeness    or feasibility   of   any   our   tutorials.      We   are   not   responsible   for   any damage    or    harm    on    objects,    animals    or    humans.    We    do    not guarantee    that    the    information    provided    on    this    web    site    is complete,   accurate   and   always   current.   This   applies   also   to   all links   cited   on   this   website   points,   either   directly   or   indirectly.   We are    not    responsible    for    any    damage    or    harm    to    objects    or individuals.
