Whoosh Rocket

How much alcohol can vaporize in a 2-liter bottle?

We think that the more alcohol you put in the bottle.......

..the more vapor there will be which

will make the rocket fly farther.

Here's how it works...

...as the flame from igniter rises up through the nozzle,

the mixture is ignited. Inside the bottle a chemical

reaction-called combustion- occurs which converts the alcohol and the oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and heat used for fuel. the fuel is forced from the nozzle giving an unbalanced force, thus the bottle moves.

Our first Trial was a failure, we used

too much fuel and our hole was too small.

We replaced the bottle and lid with the right size hole, and it worked beautifully.

We observed that the more fuel we put in the bottle the farther the bottle flew.

If your wondering what type of job would use this knowledge we would say aerospace engineering. They need to know exactly how much fuel they need to get into space and not have extra to weigh the rocket down.

Plume-area in air, water, soil, or rock containing pollutants released from a single source

-Inertia-property of matter by which it retains its state of rest

-Combustion-chemical combination attended by production of heat and light

-Nozzle-projecting pipe or spout from which gas is discharged

-Ignite-to catch fire or set fire to; burn or cause to burn
