Assalamualaikum,
The moment that I've been waiting for, D-day for my water bottle rocket project. After few modification and replacing the 'War-Head' for the prototype rocket, the rocket is ready to be launched in a competitive competition.
10 teams of staffs competed in the competition and what a luck, my team was up for the first launch in the staff category. After 10 students rocket was previously launched before us, it was the moment of truth. I was in charge of making sure that the bottle had enough pressure in it before lift-off while, Mr. Rosdi and Azmi was at the launching pad....and boom, the rocket was on its way to glory.
The projectile resembles the flight it took in its maiden launch but I can confirm that it was farther than before. The distance of 128.56 meter was measured at the end of the day. Unfortunately, it was not enough to win as another rocket flew 150.12 meter. We were settled for second place. The winner team then told me that they added and mixed some kind of chemical in the water to make it lighter. Huh?? I did not to submit any objection as I think that I did this just for the fun of it. By the way, in the staff category, the top five received the same price of Kingston 4Gb Data Traveller Pendrive. Hehe. As far as I am concern, I am really proud of my rocket's achievement.
