Rocket Missile Wood

Rockets have been around for hundreds of years serving various purposes. They can be used for weaponry, fireworks, ejection seats, launching vehicles like spacecrafts for artificial satellites, human space flight and exploration. The earliest design of rocket was created in China and India for displaying fireworks. The word 'rocket' is commonly used to refer to three different types of objects:

1. A flying vehicle used by astronauts to fly into space for discovery purposes.

2. A weapon that is fired from tanks toward an aircraft.

3. A replica of any of the above two objects that is used to practice or comprehend air launching or to propel fireworks into the air.

The only difference between the rocket used to propel spacecraft into space and the kind that is used as weapon is how they are built. Spacecraft are constructed with a sturdy, short thrust that will get them into space since this is their primary goal. The rocket missile need to be kept in good condition to ensure that staying power is kept at the required paradigm. Regardless of the kind of rocket, they all use a similar chemical reaction to shoot the object into the air. The chemical used to set off rockets may be gasoline, liquid oxygen or liquid hydrogen.

Making a rocket can be enjoyable especially if you are working with children or if you just want to do something innovative. You have two choices to select from - either making one from scratch or purchasing a kit to fit together. Your homemade rocket may not fly as high as one that you can buy but it is cheaper and the project is fun. It is important when building a rocket from scratch to trace a simple plan ahead of time. The instructions below will help you to create one from scratch.

Required Materials:

Plastic Cylinder object (soda bottle is an excellent selection)

Nose cone

Fins

Balsawood

Wood glue

Plastic cement

Launch pad

Engine mount

Paper

Sand paper

Cotton bud

Paint

Parachute

Required Tools:

Engine

Small paintbrush

Ignition system

Pencil

Craft knife

Instructions:

1. Use the pencil to trace the plan on a piece of paper. It must have a cylindrical body, nose cone, three fins, and an engine.

2. Affix the nose cone to the cylindrical body and affix the parachute to the rear of the nose cone with plastic cement.

3. To make the fins, draw the design with a pencil on paper then cut out the object from the balsawood with the craft knife. Use sand paper to sand the fins to make them smooth.

4. Use rubber cement to firmly attach the fins to the soda bottle or your choice of cylindrical object.

5. Connect the engine mount to the object. It must be positioned into the bottom of the rocket underneath the fins. In order to set up appropriately, take a cotton bud and smear glue to the outside of the engine mount. Slide it below the fins in the bottom of the rocket. The glue should hold it into place.

6. Paint your rocket with several light coats for a more attractive look. So long as the paint is completely dried, you can shoot your rocket.

Tips:

It is crucial to smooth the fins as air travels easily over smooth fins than rough ones.

When firing your rocket, make sure you do so in open spaces away from persons, animals, vehicle and power lines. This will decrease the hazard of injury or damage.

You can try working with more fins or different styles as the fins are very essential in determining the way a rocket discharges through the sky.
