The Physics of Model Rockets




Compressed Air Model Rocket


 

The compressed air model rocket is the simplist model rocket on the market. It comes in many variations ranging between stomp rockets, a glorified lawn dart, and a water bottle rocket. I put the water bottle rocket into its own catigory however, since it uses a propellent other than air. the compressed air model rocket works by building up air pressure and only allowing the air out the launch tube that the rocket is mounted to.
