That is because the weight of the water makes it go lower. Our conclusions were that the less water that was applied into the rocket, the farther up it went. WE shortened the length, and it improved.

However, we did make straw rockets before this project, and we did make modifications on that and we retested it.


Mechanical Design We did not make any modifications and we did not retest our water rocket. We had to do this by using different amounts of water and different fins sizes. Background Research Criteria and Constraints Materials Redesign/Retest What We Are Trying to do We are trying to create a rocket with a very high altitude. Thread and a ping pong was used as a parachute. His current research interests include multidisciplinary design from Arts and Biomimicry, and bioinspired materials and structures, and computational mechanics and informatics.Transcript: A 16oz bottle was used as the rockets body.The length of the cone was 1.25cm.1cm by. He is a Fellow of ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), Fellow of American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS), Fellow of Royal Aeronautical Society, and Associate Fellow of AIAA (American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics). He won several design awards and presented papers at various conferences. He taught design and analysis courses emphasizing multidisciplinary designs and simulations, and encouraged students to participate in multidisciplinary design competitions. He was previously a faculty member at Virginia Commonwealth University and Purdue School of Engineering and Technology (IUPUI). Pidaparti is now a Professor and Distinguished Faculty Scholar in the College of Engineering at the University of Georgia. in aeronautics and astronautics from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana.
