Hello! And welcome to issue #2 of Firecracker FUN! In this issue
|
||
we will discuss The Rocket.
|
||
|
||
Materials: A 2 or 3 Stage Rocket
|
||
Superglue
|
||
Tape
|
||
Shredded Paper
|
||
M-80 firecracker
|
||
All other equipment for launching
|
||
|
||
Any 2 or 3 stage rocket will work fine. You must be willing to
|
||
to loose a rocket so I suggest not painting, because it would be just
|
||
a waste of time and money. You can get a good 3 stage rocket for under
|
||
$30 and the M-80's you can buy at almost any firecracker store for
|
||
between $.80 - $1.00!!
|
||
|
||
First put the rocket together. Then place the boosters in the
|
||
bottom stage(s). In the uppermost stage glue the M-80 into place with
|
||
the fuse pointing downward. Place the end of the fuse onto the upper
|
||
part of the adjoining booster and tape it into place with a small piece
|
||
of tape. Fill the paracute area sparcely with shredded paper. Wait until
|
||
the glue holding the M-80 dries and then finish putting the rocket
|
||
together. Now you are ready to go! But be smart...don't launch the rocket
|
||
in someone's face or into a building unless you are willing to take
|
||
responsibility for it! And try not to kill yourself in the process!
|
||
|
||
|
||
What is supposed to happen is as you launch the rocket the first
|
||
stage's booster burns with an extremely high intensty and heat. As the
|
||
booster nears the to it ignites a flameable substance that pushes upward
|
||
igniting the booster above it and ejecting it from the rest of the rocket.
|
||
When the substance shoots upward into the M-80 it will ignite the fuse or
|
||
it will detonate the M-80 immediatly (I am not sure which). Then as the
|
||
M-80 detonates it will blow the cap of the rocket off ejecting anything
|
||
in the paracute chamber.
