My project is about building a water rocket launcher. It’s important to me, because it helps me understand a little bit of how the real rockets work. I believe that this can help manage society by giving us new ways to increase acceleration. There aren’t really any other projects that have any similarities to mines, other than those that consist of real rockets. What’s inspiring the work to me is all of the physics behind the project.

I believe that I can learn many things from this project such as learning how pressure can make rockets work. I’ll need to produce a rocket with a valve where air can go in. I also know that there must be pipes where the air can go through and a mechanism where the rocket or bottle can stay while the pressure is building up. I will present a PowerPoint and all of the information in the blog to my fellow classmates. I know that the only way this can be a success is if the bottle in fact reaches over an altitude of over 100 ft.

I plan to achieve the objectives that I have outlined only through dedication and hard work. I need to do library work, in other words I need to do investigative research. When I gather the data, I must make sure that every field is covered. I plan by doing this through the help of the internet interface and a few books on this subject. There is no true statistical data; however I must make sure the data is understandable to understand the work behind the prototype once constructed. I will make this project come to life and record with all fun and devotion the result.
