“…En losúltimos años, se ha intensificado la construcción y uso de cohetes hidráulicos [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] como una herramienta innovadora para el aprendizaje de la física al interior del aula de clases [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. El movimiento de cuerpos auto-propulsados es un tema de alto interés, presentado en los cursos de física básica y ejemplifica las leyes de Newton aplicadas a un sistema de masa variable [17][18][19][20].…”

In this paper, the velocity and acceleration of four water rockets is determined, using the least squares method and the Euler’s method. The position and time data are obtained from the analysis of slow-motion videos of the launch of the rockets, processed with the video analyzer software “Tracker”. This experiment is proposed as a pedagogical tool for the exploration by students of high school and first semester of sciencie and engineering of basic concepts of kinematics and dynamics in systems with variable mass and acceleration.

“…Recently, water propellant-based rocket technology has shown interesting potential in various fields of application, such as for military (industrial) [2], recreation and also for education [3] [4]. The benefits gained in the development of water rocket technology are aspects of undeniable safety, mobility (launching can be done anywhere) and environmental friendliness.…”

Rocket technology with water propellant is becoming more popular and as an alternative to be applied to education and recreation, such as industry and the military. The use of water rockets as an easy, safe, and inexpensive means of measuring physical parameters at heights above the earth's surface is being intensively carried out. One alternative solution is aerodynamic water rocket technology equipped with a telemetry system. The rocket used for the test launch is made from untested carbon fiber. Flight test settings by filling 1/3 of the tube volume with water and a pressure of 1,379,000 Pa. The results of the water rocket launch show a maximum height of 80.77 m. Changes in acceleration on the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis indicate the normal motion of the flying rocket. Analysis of stability and control of the rocket is seen in the measurement of the tilt angle of roll, pitch, and yaw. When the rocket moves or tilts, the angle measured corresponds to the tilt. In the roll condition, the rocket moving from launch to landing shows the rocket's rotational motion at an angle of approximately 20 o . The potential of water rockets that can still be developed, needs to be increased the reliability of water rockets both in terms of utilization and research.

“…Rockets are well recognized as being a fundamental part of teaching science and engineering, yet most courses are taught in a theoretical setting and any laboratories that are run typically involve technicians setting up all the equipment and students only engaging in a limited part of the system. Furthermore, often only the basics are covered with very small off-the-shelf type hobby rockets [14][15][16][17] or water rockets [18].…”

The Development of Rocketry Capability in New Zealand—World Record Rocket and First of Its Kind Rocketry Course

et al. 2015

The University of Canterbury has developed a rocket research group, UC Rocketry, which recently broke the world altitude record for an I-class motor (impulse of 320-640 Ns) and has run a rocketry course for the first time in New Zealand. This paper discusses the development and results of the world record rocket "Milly" and details all the fundamental elements of the rocketry final year engineering course, including the manufacturing processes, wind tunnel testing, avionics, control and the final rocket launch of "Smokey". The rockets Milly and Smokey are an example of the design, implementation and testing methodologies that have significantly contributed to research and graduates for New Zealand's space program.
