Awesomeness. Loved having the camera on board too.

Each bottle is used as a pressure container. Part of the bottle is filled with water and the remaining volume with air.When the nozzle is opened the compressed air expands. Expansion forces the water out of the bottle at high speed. As mass is expelled downward an equal force pushes the bottle upward.

This is how school is supposed to be.

I was going to say, I bet these kids are pumped.

This is the kind of science class I would actually pay attention in.

This is awesome!!

Okay this is actually pretty impressive. I’ve seen way smaller water-powered rocket models but never something that goes **this** far.

That went wayyy higher than I expected. Really cool and probably life changing for these students.

I’d love to see plans for building this

Wow, well done. It’s a beautiful looking rocket too.

What an awesome teacher to have!

If I’m not mistaken, that’s three stages

They should put an altimeter in it so they can gauge progress if they do subsequent launches
that was amazing I built a 1 stage water rocket when I was 12, I won third place in the science fair, I lost to a solar panel RC kit car, still salty over it because you weren’t supposed to use kits, it was supposed to be your own built project but of course the judges were parents and teachers, ooooohhh ahhhh.
* yeah this person needs to go to college, if there is someone wise enough to recruit them they should do it now

Awesome. They almost impact sputnik

Air Pressure is what powers the vehicle. The water is expelled by the air that was stored inside the pressure vessel.

Using just water pressure? That’s really impressive.
Congratulations!

Pretty cool. I wonder how using coke would fair?

Now with extra Yaw control

Three stages.. outer canisters count as a stage.

Really just the teacher did right

How does it deploy the parachutes?
Busy_Garbage_4778 on
That looks 3 stages to me. Awesome

Why is it that the contrail of a rocket appears curved even as the rocket proceeds straight up?
Ahhh it was the parachutes. For second I thought it was lemons.

This is the stuff we desperately need in our school system. I will contact the Department of Education, oh wait, we no longer have a functioning Department of Education.

Awesome but the dubbed rocket noises maybe not needed lol

It is also 100% reusable. Elon just got smoked.

My 2015 hs graduate did this in science class and rocket club. Its out there at many schools, just need a kid willing to learn this and put in the time, time otherwise spent on a screen.

I grew up with a red plastic water rocket 40ish years ago
Yes

Is that some curvature of the Earth thing?
Oh, that’s cool!
Me looking for the curve in these videos.
A.Teacher is a genius teacher.
This looks fun af. This is how schools should be.
Amazing
The warhead did not detonate.

Neat! Congratulations.
How to create engineers. A job well done.
