Hello science lover now i want to post a simple experiment about Mini Rocket.Although this rocket is not as good as a water rocket, but it is interesting to be made because of the many necessary tools and materials we meet at home and the nearest shop.
Tools and materials
- Aluminum foil
- Matchbox + matchstick
- Paper clip
- Needles or anything else that is just straight.
- Scissor
Creation Steps
- Cut aluminum foil with width 8 cm x 3 cm.
- Cut the head from the matchstick and place it on top of the aluminum foil.
- Roll the left end of aluminum foil so as to form a tube with the head of a match in the middle. Remember to form a tube, do not press alumunium foil.
- Take and straighten paper clip. Then the tip of the paper clip insert into the hole of the aluminum foil tube so that it touches the head of the matchstick. Remember do not touch aluminum but at head lighters.
- Now just press the aluminum until the meeting.
- Roll again aluminum foil 2-3 times, then tear off the rest.
7. The aluminum end near the paper clip is turned up tightly, and the aluminum end near the match is turned and then cut. 8. Remove the paper clip and insert the needle in the previous paper clip hole. 9. Done by simple rocket, what we need now is the foundation. 10. The cornerstone can be from packs of matches or the rest of aluminum foil. 11. Keep the rocket to a 45-degree angle.
"Mini rocket fly into the sky"
Concept Explanation
The match (head) is a good fuel for this mini rocket. When this mini-rocket is switched on, then the head of this match will burn and generate heat and gas. Because the gas is surrounded by a wall of aluminum foil, there is very high gas collection in the rocket. And finally the rocket flew by the impulse of the gas.
