That is truly impressive. Now I'm going to have to go into their back videos and see how they did that. A 1000 PSI clustered and staged water rocket. Crazy!

Very impressive!

Pity NAR did not pass a water rocket safety code.

It would be nice to see these at club launches.

Give a man a rocket and he will fly for a day; teach him to build and he will spend the rest of his days sanding...

I wonder if this peaked the interest of Dan Coon or Tim Pickens, formerly with HARA?

Dan designed and built a multiple 2L bottle powered water rocket with gimballed thrust and a Polaroid camera on top that he used at school launches, giving pics to the kids.

Tim, well before he was involved in the motor design for the hybrid motor in Rutan's Space Ship One, designed a variation on water rockets, designed and built a steam powered rocket complete with launch pad heating system. I figure if these two had stuck with water propulsion instead of moving on the bigger and better things, they would have conquered the mile high record long ago.

Sorry if mentioning this is repetitive for you guys that have been around YORF a while, but some folks here haven't always been around to see some of the interesting stuff we've seen and talked about on the forum.

I love sanding.

And some of us have long forgotten.

There was a water rocket demonstration at NARAM-44 in 2002. I cannot remember the names of the people involved.

On the other hand...

Red Green was a Canadian sitcom that used to be shown on PBS. He used massive amounts duct tape for everything.

I call this person the Red Green of Rocketry, but in their case, at least it works:
