Decoration. Once your rocket is built, decorate it! Add glitter or a scary face, or keep it NASA-appropriate with a gleaming white paint job. The only necessary marking is a fill line for your water.

Aqua Lung Rocket II is a modern interpretation of the classic version. A light weight, neutrally buoyant rubber compound makes up the body of the fin. The modernized, larger foot ...

This water rocket launcher lets you do just that. Built using the frame from an old grill, a soda bottle takes its place on the upturned PVC pipe. There’s a connection for your garden hose that ...

Idaho State University's Physics Department students taught the kids a little about physics and showed them how to build ...

Initially, there is something (the box) with water inside. Through some process, the water is shot out of the box. The initial total momentum (water plus box) is zero (vector), so the final total ...

Many of us made soda bottle rockets for science class. Some of us didn’t have that opportunity, and made them in the backyard because that’s what cool kids do. Water rockets work on the… ...

Water rockets are created from plastic bottles, made aerodynamic by nose cones and fins. The rocket is part filled with water, and air is pumped in with a foot pump.

One rocket scientist has turned his attention to cookware, designing a new set of pots and pans that are touted as nearly double the energy efficiency of your ordinary round cookware.

The rocket, a 1.5-litre soft drink bottle, is hardly visible. What is seen is a steady rose-coloured stream of water, courtesy a potassium permanganate mix, to help the crowd track the missile’s ...

Through its WET (Water-Based Electric Thrusters) Project, the University of Bologna will be developing a new electric thruster for rockets that is propelled by water being turned into plasma ...

A space-aged new pan designed by a rocket scientist from the University of Oxford could threaten to topple Le Creuset's 'cast-iron' grip on the cooking market. The new enamelled cast iron Dutch ...
