How much water should you put in a water rocket?
As a general rule of thumb, fill it 1/3 full of water.
For more information on the precise amount please see:

I'm trying to understand why putting ANY amount of water in an air-powered rocket makes it fly higher than using just the compressed air. Certainly the water adds considerable weight, plus it means less compressed air (less energy), so it would seem reasonable that it would fly not nearly as high as with just compressed air. In addition, in some of the videos it actually shows that some of the water that's exiting the nozzle is actually moving in the SAME DIRECTION as the rocket, which would seem to imply that it's not acting as exhaust contributing to the thrust. I'm thinking that the effect that the water has is that it keeps the internal pressure higher slightly longer than with an air-only setup, since the water isn't nearly as fluid I know that's not quite the right term) as the air, so it takes a bit longer to escape through the nozzle. Maybe the issue is that you're using the same nozzle size for both the air-only and the air-with-water launches. Maybe the air-only needs a smaller diameter nozzle and it would then reach a higher altitude. It just seems counter-intuitive that adding the relatively tremendous amount of water weight to the rocket and the significantly less pressurized air should result in higher altitudes.

According ti my calculation, the ải water pressure of 6 stages each use 2 litter at 1200 psi so total missile weigh only 50 lb can be shoulder launch or base launch and 10 lbs war head can get to 5 km altitude at match 3 speed and if deliver by a drone at high altitude can beat even b52 at 50000 ft for bigger bmversion is only a few dollars more

One thing to keep in mind is to keep the sensor out of the sun, otherwise you can get false readings. Good luck with the project.

does adding boosters make you able to use more water in the centre stage since you increase the total thrust on the vehicle at liftoff, so that the heavy core is able to lift itself normally and achieve a longer thrust duration?
@AirCommandRockets
@AirCommandRockets 4 жыл бұрын
Interesting question. So yes, the boosters would allow you to add more water to the center core to get a longer duration thrust, if thrust duration was what you are looking for. However, it will result in less altitude because you are adding more weight to the whole system and so you will use up some of the performance of the rocket to overcome this added weight. Secondly the core stage will under-perform because you now have less air in it (shared volume with the water) It is the compressed air that provides the energy. Having less air means you can store less energy. The 1/3 water to 2/3 air ratio still applies as optimal here. But you are on the right track of wanting a longer burn. The longer burn can be achieved by reducing the nozzle size. This way you stretch out the burn over a longer period while still retaining the correct water/air ratio. The boosters allow you to get a rocket up to speed with a relatively small nozzle that normally wouldn't allow the rocket to get off the pad by itself. A longer burn allows you to travel slower for longer meaning you induce less drag. Since drag is proportional to the square of the velocity. So you can get somewhat slightly better performance that way as well.

@@AirCommandRockets but isn't ballistic trajectory based on an initial velocity V0 minus the drag and gravity acceleration? In this case, a higher V0 is going to result in a longer coast phase, therefore a higher altitude. Regarding the adiabatic expansion, that was our main concern when adding propellant to the centre core. We just didn't properly understand how to apply it mathematically in our simulations. In a previous video, you stated that plain PVC pipes don't work well as high pressure vessels. We found ratings for 80 PVC pipes and found out they can withstand over 600psia of pressure... Is there any reason behind the material strength why it can't withstand any higher pressures that a regular PET bottle?
@AirCommandRockets
@AirCommandRockets 4 жыл бұрын
Ballistic trajectory is also dependent on the initial altitude. Ballistic trajectory happens when you stop producing thrust. So with a faster burn you get higher velocity (and higher drag), but you start at a lower altitude compared to if you stop producing thrust later in the flight with a slower velocity. In the end there isn't much of a difference between the two altitudes. I'm not saying you can't use a PVC pipe for a rocket, but you can't easily compare it to a PET bottle. If the narrower PVC pipe with it's wall thickness can hold 600psi, you can't compare that to a PET bottle that bursts at 190psi. To compare the two, make a PVC rocket the same size/weight as a PET bottle. I am not trying to discourage you from experimenting, I'm just providing information based on what I have seen over the years people attempting to make rockets out of PVC and why you don't see it very often. If you are going to pressurise PVC to its limits be careful of the shards that will be generated when it lets go. Stay at a safe distance.

If you are talking about normal flat fins, then a minimum of 3 is required, and 4 will give you a little more stability with smaller fins. 5 or more fins will generally tend to have a negative effect on altitude because you are increasing drag and weight without adding to stability significantly. You could potentially use 1 or 2 fins but would need to spin up the rocket to get stable flight. Of course you could also use a single ring fin without needing to spin the rocket.

@@AirCommandRockets hi sir, sorry to disturb you again but actually I am not able to understand the whole document. Can you please provide me just the equation to show the relationship between the amount of water in the rocket and the height reached by the rocket. Otherwise can you tell me the page number where this equation will be present. Thank you so much😄

@@priyanshbhatter9338 The document describes the motion of a water rocket in detail. It is not simple. There is no simple equation that just relates the amount of water to altitude. There are many interrelated parameters that need to be considered when working out the final altitude. Simulators are typically used to calculate the predicted altitude based on the various parameters. www.aircommandrockets.com/sim/simulator.htm and cjh.polyplex.org/rockets/simulation/
