Water Rocket with Boosters - Axion G2

In preparation for flying the Polaron G2 rocket we flew the smaller Axion G2 a couple of times at NSWRA's new HPR launch site.

For the second launch to be a "failure" it turned out pretty well! That was really fun to watch.

Years ago, when these plastic bottles first appeared, I wondered if you could make a water rocket with them. You fellows have answered that question for all time. Great video.

Nice performance...it's amazing how close water rockets get to the range of usual solid-fuel models.

Thank you for taking the time to document and share your hobby with the ret of the world.

[MilanKarakas]

I don't know what is more exciting to watch - the altitude reached, or the beauty of parachute opening. Keep good job!

[dcairns]

Amazing, I had not idea water rockets could be developed to that degree! Great work!

[Matlockization]

I have never seen such expert organisation in all levels of your rocket project. Very impressed.

[bubblezovlove]

I used to make the easy version of this as a kid. I can hardly believe you actually have discarding fuel tanks?! That's brilliant!!

It shined short
but very
*beautiful...*

That was really amazing, Super fast and well built. Water is so cool. I been floating steam around not sure how safe it would be. H2o is so magical..

Outdoors in good weather with the kids and no iPod. mobile phone. internet. and science. This is the best thing on the planet. Or off the planet. Top man.. Great to see someone doing something. Kill TV .

"one day you'll hit the dome" said a flat-eather somewhere when he watched this... even if he was finding this way to cool to say it. Nice video, bring back childhood memories with a booster pack xD

[QuarktaschemitSenf]

Very impressive Job!

Could you please explain me some things i haven't understood yet?

The boosters will seperate from the main rocket because they dont applie force upwards anymore and the way they are attached to the main stage. (will slide downwards)

What i really dont get yet ist this: How were you able to launch the mainstage controlled after the boosters? Is this also solved mechanically somehow?

[harshtsingh]

I am big fan of your channel sir. ( Love from *INDIA* ) and I want to become a scientist, my age - 14.. Thanks..

What is the background music called (starting at ~2:30)?

[Spoif]

AirCommandRockets Would there be any benefit of connecting the boosters together (in the same arrangement that you have them) so they share the same liquid and gas pressure, as well as release together ?

[spieltmit]

You have to make them land again (without parachute) ^^- just jokin - well done!

[Hongqie]

i really appreciates the great efforts you guys put into this short excitement though personally i will not feel any fun at all by doing this kind of stuff.

[bertkraan]

great, sustainable rocketry! no polution, less noise, fast reusable boosters, no dangerous chemicals/heat/burning stuff. Cool!

[Warriorking.]

I'm not a rocket scientist, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I never knew you could build multi-stage water rockets, and even though you claim both launches were not without their problems, to me that was SERIOUSLY impressive!
