cool scott, can you explain your release system? I need to build one simlar so I can test my rockets and beat every one at school

[scottcrete]

look closely at the pictures .... you will see that....

A.
the pulley system for the rope.. you want to hook like a leash or something at the front where the rope makes a u between the two eye hooks

B.
you can see how it connects to the quick connect.. by the means of a hose clamp.. this way when you pull on the rope.. FIGURE A
you will put equal pressure on it.. making it pull down and release the rocket.

Spudchucker, I'm guessing your about 13 years old... Give or take a few years

What relevance does that have towards anything here?

[brogdenlaxmiddie]

It's pretty simple the little weight that is on the nose cone keeps moving up off of the rocket when the rocket reaches apogee it's max. hight.
Ex. putting a penny on your hand and jerking your hand up same principal the penny will lift off of your hand.

Can you tell me how old you think I am?

he asked how old i thought he was...

Oh, okay. I suppose I shoulda asked him that -- my bad.

Well im also building a rocket atm. It has 2 engines and the same sort of release mech. BUT i do not understad why there is such a big chamber, its the rocket that has the water and pressure that launches it i thought?

Mines being made with pressure PVC 2" for the engines

have u got any ideas for parchute deployment menthods? or not having one?

Cheers, Thursto.

yep I'm 13 well anyways the reason why I have a large rocket volume is that the more air and water you use the higher the rockets goes

My rocket 4 litres air 2 litres water IT'll go higher

Remember Scott, us dail up users need short video clips, 2 minute tops. That is if you plan on putting up vids of this in action??? Nice build I think!

[scottcrete]

is that a hint to make this video short so you can see it? (wanting to see it i suppose?) I will do that just for you jrrdw... (when i launch it)
