Hello from Poland

Post by zetez »

Few months ago I've launched my first (simple) water rocket. Today, my altitude record is about 60 m (197 f) with 70 psi. But actually I'm working on the new launcher (higher pressures) and the nozzle, so the record will be better. Probably, I'm first WRA2 Member from Poland - hello!

Compressor + PVC pipe + special ending to pump (automatically lifts off rocket when up-force is enough to fly high).

nice system :mrgreen:
i prefer using a gardena nozzle and conect it to a long tube via adaptator, and attach a bike tyre valve at the other end using a pipe clamp, you can control exactly when you want the rocket to lauch and so on.
