CO2 rocket

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The correct title of this article is CO₂ rocket. It features superscript or subscript characters that are substituted or omitted because of technical limitations.

CO₂ rockets are a very safe and simple way to experiment with model rockets^{[citation needed]}. Most CO₂ rockets are very small and do not travel very high or very fast. The common method of construction for a CO₂ rocket is to take a CO₂ canister and use it as the motor to propel the projectile, or load into the air.

[edit] Construction

The construction of a CO₂ rocket can either be very simple or very difficult depending on the method used to build the launch pad, the cargo or payload module, the firing mechanism and the aerodynamics of the rocket.

The simplest way to build a CO₂ rocket is to fine tune the CO₂ tank from an Airsoft launcher and implement it into the rocket as the rocketfire. The launch pad is perhaps the most difficult part of the process.
