Trial One:
On our first test run, our rocket accidentally launched into the air. My partner went to go get a pressure pin, and while she was gone, we shoved the air compressor pin into our pressure tube and it launched. We tried to re-launch a few more times but it wasn't very successful. We had a few complications but nothing that wasn't fixable.
How it worked:
Our rocket was launched due to pressure. We have a hose that allows pressure to flow through our PVC to add pressure in the 2 liter bottle. Water covers 1/4th of the bottle which helps build pressure without leaking any air.
Complications:
Our rocket had a fin fall off. This caused the rocket to be off balanced.
Our rocked also started to leak from our PVC seal. We fixed this issue so that our rocket with have an exemplary performance.
Our launch pad was unstable. We had to add heavy rocks to make sure our launch pad stayed in place.
