Water powered rocket

This project is a fun way to recycle a 2 liter bottle and one of those old clothes hangers in your closet.

Step 1 Parts

you will need:
-one-two wire clothes hangers
-one #4 rubber stopper, it is 1" at the top, 1" tall and tapers down
-one wood board at least 1" wider than the bottle and at least 1/2" thick
-approximately 10" of wire tubing or straw 5/32" wide (I suggest using a drill bit sizer card thing to measure the straw)
-cardboard
-Scissors
-1/16 and 5/32 drill bits
-sandpaper
-a foot pump with a needle that you would put in a basketball to re fill it with air
-glue (referable one of the more powerful types, but you can use anything waterproof)

I would, but the only video camera i have uses cassette things, and i can't get them onto the computer

[astro boy]

what about a normal digital camera some don't have sound but better then none

[Redfox888888]

good idea, I hadn't thought of that- I'll try to remember to do that when it gets warmer. Right now it's too cold, around 30-40 degrees. I should be able to post one between late march and the end of April.
