Rocket Man

This Memorial Day weekend we went to visit family in Rexburg/ St. Anthony Idaho. My dad brought a toy for all of us to play with. My dad made a rocket launcher out of ABS and a door bell switch. It is hooked up to a compressor. When you push the button the rocket shoots up in the air. The rockets are made out of construction paper.



Chas could not be content on just shooting paper. So he found an empty 2 liter and filled it with water. Uncle Scott and Uncle Neal could not be content with shooting paper, so they launched grapes and tried to catch them in their mouth. I think pickles were involved also. I wish I would have got a picture of that.












Chloe was a bit scared of the blast noise the compressor made when it shot off, so she would not press the button. I cannot explain how high the rockets shoot up in the air. They went higher than the trees you see in the back ground. But that still does not explain how high they went.
