In this Instructable I'll walk you through how to build an awesome air powered rocket launcher that can shoot paper rockets well over one hundred feet high. Simply wire the button, 1 or 2 9V batteries, and the wires from the electronic sprinkler valve together in a single series. PSI should be more than enough pressure, since the two inch pipe designed launchers never really need to go above 30 PSI. As winter settles in, ensure your laundry stays fresh and dry with our innovative range of indoor drying products.

Imagine yourself as a real astronaut with this amazing rocket toy which uses your own stomp power to give it the fuel it needs for take off!After building many versions of this launcher, I've found the best cost vs performance vs transportability vs safety size of pipe is 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe and fittings. With the exception of the Tee connectors and the SCH80 nipples, everything else was available at Home Depot as well. is built of industrial metal air pressure rated parts, and a sturdy CNC cut wooden base for many years of use. Encourage children to design and make their own rockets and then find a way to measure which rocket flies the highest. Features a launch pad platform and when assembled, simply stomp on the foot pump to launch your rocket and watch it soar just like the real thing!

You don't need to use the launch tube to line things up since the other side should be even with the launch tube, then assuming your table is flat, the newly glued side should be parallel with the first side. This high performance air-pressure powered rocket launching set will launch a rocket up to 400 into the air without the use of batteries or fuel. You'll be able to track the parcels journey back to us, so we can process your refund in the quickest possible time. The launch tube and launch button holder just makes all of the parts one piece so that it's easier to carry. Wrapping around clockwise makes it so that the thread tape won't unwind when screwing the pieces together.

If you choose to mod the button with a second 9V battery, have the students tape up every seam many times over. It was suggested by ringworld to include a "parent switch" when using the launchers with younger children. Both pieces need to be glued at the same time, so it must be done quickly and it takes a lot of force to get both of the elbows onto the frame tubes.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to get to grips with the technology needed to build and launch your own rockets with this fun kit. I finally added a blow off valve as well to prevent some high school kids from excessively pumping the systems up.It is a plastic air chamber, connected to a launch stand where you push a soft foam rocket down over the outlet. The valve brace relieves any stress that might happen to the sprinkler valve connections, and will help make the launcher last longer. Your refund will be processed within 14 days of reaching our warehouse using the same method that you paid with.

The kids usually really like picking out the different colors of paper, and drawing on their own designs.Have a countdown before each launch as a way to alert people in the area (and to make each launch more exciting! Inspect the rocket before each flight and use your hands to straighten out the fins and nosecone, which will inevitably become bent over time. The safety valve is set to 60 PSI max, and is threaded into the schedule 80 nipple, and also held in place from the back side with a retaining nut. See who can launch theirs the furthest using the air-powered rocket launcher – you might even break one of the two included Guinness World Records challenges. The perfect gift for any budding astronaut, this rocket launching set will keep them entertained as they try and get their rocket to go higher and higher.
