@Daniel Allshorn I teach 8th grade, we aim for the high school next to us. I never thought we would come close. We have easily launched 1000+ times over the years and only 5 have hit the property. The 190m rocket was truly impressive and it landed near the front steps.
Very interesting and informative video, USWR. We're looking forward to see the next part of this series. :) Also very good video editing, especially at the end of the video! =)
Thanks! These videos are very post production intensive. Lots of narration and graphics makes them more difficult to produce. The end section was more of a fun thing to try and sync up the edits to the music in a nice way, just to do something a little different.
Yes, animations are always a lot of work. We know that from our own videos, but I think your animations are even more complicated since we only use the integrated key frame tool in our editing software. As you know, we find it quite important to sync the edit to the music, even in tutorials and videos like this, so you did a great job. Greetings - Julian :)
Hi guys! Im having a competition in my school just like you and i really would like to know how to build one like the ones on the video. Can you make a tutorial about the launch pad, the materials, and so? Awesome video! Greetings from Portugal
lol i just used a ginger ale bottle for the main rocket and a nose cone from another bottle. i filled it with yoga ball material. i put 3 fins 13 cm long on the hypotenuse of the triangle on the other side then wrapped the whole rocket in duct tape like 3 times. The rocket went 135 meters. I know this comment was over a year ago but i still wanna reply lol
My advice to you is to investigate a technique called "backsliding", "backglide", or "sidegliding" as it applies to model rockets and water rockets. The general idea is to make the rocket long and thin so it comes down sideways and not nose end first. If you are required to use a single bottle for the rocket, then make a cardboard or paper tube around the rocket to make it long. A long rocket will only need tiny fins to be stable in flight. If you weight the rocket so it is balanced around the center lengthwise, the rocket will fly up in a stable fashion, but will turn on its side and float down sideways very slowly. Read all you can about this technique, and it should easily beat all the other rockets if they don't know about this.
There are no skinny 2 liter bottles available. We fabricate our own using regular 500ml bottles joined together using the bottle splicing method featured in our previous video: th-cam.com/video/tGxOnuNxDoQ/w-d-xo.html and shown being pressure tested in this video: th-cam.com/video/rLhkak4YCak/w-d-xo.html
why do they have so many rules for something so fun , do you want to build a rocket of thin metal, then pump it up until it explodes? thats a shrapnel bomb, dude. and THATS why they need rules. its called common sense, something that some people get as they grow up.
5:04 Looks very interesting, looking forward to it :)
That idea will be explained soon! :-)
@@USWaterRockets I can't find part 2. Was it pulled for some reason?
I just finished this years competition at my middle school. We were averaging 80-120 meters, record was a 190 gram rocket that went 169 meters.
Ur mobile number plz
i only ever got 135
This year we broke our record with 190.

Is there a part 2?

hi
can you please tell me what are the best measurments for the fins , we need to build a water rocket for our school project
was the next video ever posted? would like to make this rocket

When is the next part released I'm making a school project and I want to know how to make it go the furthest?!?
When is the next episode?
Thanks for the tips!
does anyone have the plans for the launcher? i'd like to try this with my class
nice one sir
Sorry very nice 👌👌👌👌👌
Do you have any tips for building a water bottle rocket being judged on hang time instead of distance?
Can you put a parachute on it?

What brand was the skinny 2 little bottle?

USWaterRockets thanks!
No problem! Good luck with your rocket!
Water rocket traveling distance how much
So what kind of fin designs should I do?
Smaller fins that are stiff and won't flop around will yield more velocity and less drag, so you will go farther. Good luck!
Where is part 2?
Soo, did you guys win?
Should I spoil the surprise?
+USWaterRockets yes
Yes, I should spoil the surprise, or yes you believe we won? ;-)
USWaterRockets but where is the next part? .-.
@@FAB1150 They won
sir can you please tell me what are the components needed to make this project
no
No
@@CarlosAM1 no
what poetic devices are used in this?
IDk IDK what was the design used?
honestly why do they have so many rules for something so fun
For safety mainly. With kids involved and a potential for exploding a rocket, the risk of serious bodily harm or hearing damage is worth a few rules.

I’m totally not here trying to get ideas for my bottle rocket…

Супер. Интересно. Мои ракеты объёмом 0.5 литра при давлении 12 атмосфер летают лучше.
Мои пол литра летают 80 метров. Рулеткой мерил

first
Congratulations! I think you are the first person to "first" one of our videos! That's really a first!
where can i find next series of this video??
