UP, UP ~N~ AWAY

This project is about a Compressed Air Rocket Launcher. When we assembled the rocket launcher we started with PVC pipes, screws, motors, bolts, primer, batteries, wires, brads, wire strippers, tape and wood to make a stand. Once our rockets were built we built a power stitch out of an Altoid box. The rocket launcher is long and perpendicular similar to a angle or the letter "L", at the end or the back of the rocket is a valve where we connect the air pump. Once you start pumping air into the rocket launcher the air is held and compressed in the bottom part of the PVC pipe. Then you push the red button on the power switch and the air is rapidly released. The hardest thing that some of us struggled with was when we didn’t pay close attention to the directions and put the screws and bolts on wrong and doing this was very hard to correct. If I had to change one thing it would be to listen and pay more attention to the directions given. Overall this was the most liked project for us all.
