| How To Make A Rocket | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| To make a rocket you will need the following: A tube with a thick wall Powdered cat little(the stuff you put in a tub for a cat to piss in). Dowel (a piece of wood or metal which will slide comfertably into the tube you are using) Hammer/mallet Drill with drill bit Fuse Guide stick Propellant Tape Start by getting your tube, which should be 6 times the length of the diametre long, and filling it half way with your powdered cat little, the length of the nozzel should be 1/4 of the length of the tube e.g. if the length of the tube is 4 cm then the length of the nozzel should be roughly 1 cm. Now take your dowler and place it into the tube then hammer it hard , this will turn the powder into a compressed nozzel. Now drill a hole into the compressed nozzel ( the hole should be a 1/3 of the diametre of the tube e.g. if the diametre is 10 mm then the hole should be roughly of the diametre 3.0 - 3.5 mm). Now place a small piece of toilet paper into the hole you have just made, to block any propellant from falling out. Now pour your propellant into the tube and use the dowler to compress it down as hard as you can, then keep doing this until there is a gap of roughly 1 cm (if using a 4-5 cm tube), place an end cap into the gap until it touches the propellant, fill the remaining space with low melt glue. Now turn the rocket around when the glue is dry and remove the toilet paper, place a desired lenght of fuse into the hole and secure it if needed, with crumpled strips of toilet paper. Now take your guidence stick and tape it to the side of your rocket tube ( the guidence stick should be roughly 5 times the length of your tube). |

| This is one of my rocket with a flash powder salute on top. This rocket going off is on the videos section at the bottom. This shot up to around 300 feet then had a nice report. Will make another page soon on rockets wit payloads. |
