Hello from USA

Post by A5Ben »

New to water rockets. Just started last Saturday with a single 2L bottle. Built a multi bottle rocket today and got a short video.

Planning to try a gardena nozzle tomorrow!

Welcome to the Water Rocket Forum, Ben! :W

You have quite an advanced design with a working recovery system after only one week? That's really good progress! We look forward to seeing what else you can come up with!

We have a water rocket journal on multiply (http://www.uswaterrockets.com)that has details of designs and construction if you want to check it out!

Well, the gardena nozzle didnt work as I had hoped. There just wasn't enough thrust to get the rocket up. I would up increasing the nozzle diameter but by then the cheap disconnect had stopped working. I need to locate an all brass connector and try again.
