Entering Science Buskers Festival With Water Rocket Car
Posted: Wed Aug 25, 2010 11:48 am
I have recently made it to the Science buskers busking round after an audition and will be using my water rocket car made from Lego bricks to demonstrate the power of water rocket and how it works.
You can view some of the pictures for the Science buskers Water Rocket Car here.
The car is dragster like with long body and the attached PET bottle is 500ml. I have pressurized
up to 80psi and it moves off fast. I also add some water and pressurized to 40psi and this time,
i can see the acceleration really fast but when I increased to 50psi, the car flipped instantly.
I believe the car is still not quite stable yet and I'm wondering what I could do to make the car more
stable so that i can test higher pressure with more water.
