[RECYCLING] How to make a water rocket by reusing a container, instead of throwing it away

in GEMS4 years ago

Hello hello I hope everyone is in good health, which is the most important thing, yesterday I ran out of the gel that I use for low back pain and thinking about HIVE, it occurred to me to make a rocket of water with this entire container jet propellant, this idea is because the container has a shape similar to that of the rocket.

How to make a water rocket by reusing a container, instead of throwing it away ||

To make this rocket I am going to use a container of a ball gel that I used to spread for pain which I ran out and I decided to make this rocket, I looked for the model on the internet, in so many models I got one with a similar shape to the container, It is a water-powered rocket, the model is as follows:

Elaboration of the tail skirt: In this part the fins that have the function of helping to stabilize the rocket and make it go in the right direction are fixed. I made the cardboard flaps, used silicone glue, and then put some cardboard bands around the cylinder:

Elaboration of the cone of the nose or rocket head: This piece maintains the aerodynamic stability of the rockets during the flight, in this case I did not have the need to do this part, since the lid of the container has the conical shape, I only placed another cap on top of this, with a fine tip.
