This is the start, I've already got a cardboard cylinder that I've chosen, I've built a holding platform to prevent the fins from moving out of place with big LEGO blocks, chosen the cardboard sheet for my fins, drew a design for my fins and got a straw that I need. Fortunately for me I had help from my Mum to get the table all sorted, I've done most of the job of preparing the stuff I needed like scissors, rulers, cardboard sheet and tubing, pencils etc.
I've already made my start of building a scratch rocket of getting my fins all drawn on the cardboard and ready to be cut out. The rest of the construction will happen later. Soon I'll spray paint the rocket out the back to give it's patterns and spray painted writing. The construction process will take a while to do but as I said, I've already started with the fins but my work will continue perhaps over the week if I done have as much or a little amount of home work to do.
Is it air rocket or water rocket, or just a rocket model?
ReplyDeleteFor your information Jungko, this rocket flies with an solid fueled rocket motor, cardboard tubing with a bentonite clay nozzle at the front end and rear cap at the back end. The motor is filled with explosive solid fuel and ignited by a fuse forming an controlled explosion. You can look that up on google images (solid rocket motors)
ReplyDeleteNo Daniel, I'm asking if you're making a water rocket or just a rocket model.
DeleteIt's not a water rocket nor a air rocket. It's just a flyable model rocket with those powerful rocket motors I've been talking about.
DeleteAre these rockets difficult to make?
ReplyDeleteSometimes Morgan, they can be, sometimes when you have some missing materials or components that you can't find. It's sometimes a challenge.
