When I was a kid I made rockets out of cans of spray paint. I would sit them on an angle and light a candle under the plastic tip, then run to a safe distance. Preferably behind a tree. Once the plastic tip melted off the spray paint would come shooting out and ignite. Sometimes they would explode on the launch pad, other times they would fly in a corkscrew 50 or 60 feet. Once one exploded in mid air. I imagined I was testing V-2 rockets, and this explained the high failure rate. I lived way out in the country and would have to wait for my mom to leave. Otherwise I would have been in lots of trouble.

Then I told them if they ever wanted to play with matches they could ask me for some and 'play' safely on the brick paved area in the backyard. Strangely enough, neither ever wanted to play with matches; I was a little disappointed.

Making and firing Match Rockets in our garage on a rainy day is still a fun memory 45 years later! We ended up with a very minimal design, still good for about 30’ IIRC. We used paper matches, wrapped a bit of aluminum foil over the head and about halfway down the length. Twist the foil past the head into a point and lay the rocket over a paper clip stand. No need to make a nozzle since the combustion pressure will find a way out. Fins not needed for stability as long as the center of mass is ahead of the center of pressure. This is exactly why a bottle rocket works without fins, but is unstable without the stick. That pop of your extra tight wrap seems like something I need to test!

When I was around 10 years old we lived in Mexico. My mother was a Spanish teacher and she went to college for the summer in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. The small matches were different there than they were here in the States. Here we had small slide open boxes of wooden matches. There, they had small matches with round paper shafts coated in wax. The first time I ever saw someone shoot a match rocket was there in Mexico. The fellow took three of these Mexican matches and took some foil from his cigarette package wrapping it tightly around the match heads. Then he bent the legs to make a tripod look. He placed another lit match under the center of the rocket and off it went! I've never been the same since and I vow to never grow up! LOL. Great video! I've got to try this with three or four match heads in a larger rocket!

This was great! I've never seen this type of design before, and those tape fins are ingenious, simple, effective and beautiful! When I was a kid in the mid 70s, I made match rockets out of paper matches, with foil wrapped around the head, and used a pin to slip between the cardboard of the match and the foil to provide a "nozzle" for the exhaust. My launcher was a simple bent-up paperclip. I would cut additional match heads to insert before wrapping in foil for a more powerful engine. I remember them shooting pretty far, but probably not 60 feet! I even mounted them to little paper airplanes to create a miniature jet plane. Oh, to be young again.

Dipping each piece of the coat hanger in cooking oil would ensure an even tighter air envelope between the rocket and the launch rod. In addition it would reduce the friction during the launch.

The hobby shop owner in my town taught me about them and warned me of the dangers of cutting off match heads and stuffing them into a pipe to make a rocket. He’d been a science teacher but got out of it and told me he did a lot of science teaching as a hobby shop owner. I spent hours in that classroom and became a science teacher myself.

@Tributary House Ltd. It's a 70's term for "Joint". I know. I spent my formative teen years ALL THE WAY through the 70's. Good Times -- GOOD TIMES. By the way, as kids, we used to take paper matches from match books, cover the head of a match tightly with a little bit of foil, then torch the head of the "Missile" with another match and these baby's could travel 15 to 20 FEET. But not ALWAYS. The average flight distance was about 10 to 15 feet. Sometimes more -- sometimes less, depending on how well you made them. We would set up a tissue paper fort and fire off the rockets at the enemy's fort and sometimes we could set the other fort on fire. That was how we determined the winner. Like I said --- Good Times -- GOOD TIMES. And we weren't little PUSSIES that had to go to our "Safe Spaces". We lived life DANGEROUSLY back in the day. Good Times -- GOOD TIMES. . .

Pull the toothpick out set the home made rocket slightly over hanging over the soda can point, and with a lighter held the flam under the tip of the rocket. it would go 15 to 20 feet and you did not know witch way it was going.

I little hint, dip the tip of your match head in candle wax. Too much chokes it off, so don't over do it. You are Welcome!
@BrainfooTV7 жыл бұрын
What effect does adding the wax have?
@VanishingNomad7 жыл бұрын
It gives it a slightly longer burn time, for more distance. If you use too much, it chokes it off and you fizzle out. If you use just the rigth amount, it practically doubles the flight distance and speed. Using a paper match from a standard matchbook, I shot one all the way across a restaurant one time. It had to be 25+ feet from our booth to the cashier. We were on total opposite sides of the building.

Ive just had massive flashbacks to being a kid in the 70s, I seriously thought me and my cousin invented this, and maybe we did, people often do discover simple stuff like this separately, but I thought nobody else knew about tin foil rockets on heated matches, lol. Well, my gob is thoroughly smacked.

I got 130 feet with this design using a very small amount of gun powder from the blank of a nail-driver (equal in power to 3 matchstick heads but it might burn quicker) and a little longer rocket. I have a trick for raising the pressure inside the chamber. At the base you let there be only 2 layers of aluminum foil which is about what you're doing with that taper. You use a wood skewer and drill the smallest hole you can with a drill bit. Then you stick in a finishing nail through the two layers, into the hole. Using tensile strength of aluminum you can calculate the layers needed to get the max pressure in the chamber and you calculate the max pressure your chamber can allow also with it's tensile strength. Theoretically based on this and density of aluminum and if there were no air resistance, you could get up to 2000 feet. But what I found out is that aluminum weakens with heat and bursts so I doubt over 200 feet is possible without a major redesign. I tried a little to fix this by using a mechanical pencil's steel eraser cover as the "ignition chamber" but gave up after a few tries. A steel design theoretically could reach 40,000 feet distance, minus air resistance. It would have to be incredibly small to use only 1 matchstick making air resistant a big factor (500 feet probably the limit). If you use 10 match sticks, it's as much explosive powder as a small bullet and a similar distance can be reached. This is not really a rocket design because there is no nozzle exhaust pressure after lift off. This is a more efficient use of the fuel than a rocket can achieve, as long as air resistance is a bigger factor than the gain in efficiency. This is like putting gun powder in a gun barrel, then sticking it onto a shaft and making the gun barrel as light as possible. So the shaft is like a bullet that's held in place and the gun is allowed to recoil. I actually tried making it a two-stage pressure build-up using a long tail on the end of the aluminum with slack in it and another nail. So it does not break from the 1st nail until pressure is high and assuming the powder has not finished burning, it lets it expand to where it is almost off the stick, then 2nd nail makes it pause until more pressure builds up. But I'm not sure that can help.
