EZ Air Paper/Straw Rocket Launcher (95% Assembled)

EZ Air Rocket Launcher

Prepare to blow people away as you send these cheap (25-cent) rockets hundreds of feet in the air! This is a custom, simple but impressive device that launches homemade rockets made out of paper OR drinking straws. It is durable, reusable, clean, legal in a big city and most of all...FUN!!!

Description:

One EZ Air powered rocket launcher with battery-powered trigger mechanism (requires 9 V batteries--- (2) included).
Choose between paper rockets or straw rockets by easily switching out their respective launch tube adapters. Each adapter allows you to change the angle of launch from 90 degrees (completely vertical) to 0 degrees (complete horizontal).
Build your rockets out of household materials and watch them fly (various ideas,templates and instructions available on my website).
Launcher ships mostly assembled. Screw in the trigger assembly, choose your launch tube (paper rockets or straw rockets) and its ready to use!
Pressure chamber comes wrapped with flashy florescent duct tape to give it appealing color but most importantly added strength for precautionary purposes.
Launcher is capable of propelling both paper and straw rockets 200-300 ft into the air using only air from a bike pump or air compressor. This is a cheap alternative to the typical "fire-in-the-hole" estes rockets ($20-40 + stand) that you have to keep buying engines for each launch ($2-$4 per engine!).
Launcher performs magnificently with both low and high pressures. Successful launches can be achieved with only 20 psi for the straw rockets. Higher pressures (75+) will provide for higher flights but you will eventually reach a point when too high of pressure starts working against the rockets due to the amount of drag they experience during initial acceleration off of the launcher.
After pressurization, the launcher holds the pressure until you decide to initiate the launch by simply pressing down the handheld "launch activation button." This feature allows you to stand at a safe distance away from the launch tube and have total control over when the rockets leave the launcher. There's just something about yelling out 5....4....3....2....1....BLASTOFF!!!! that brings excitement to any activity for people of all ages.
Great for fun, science projects, school classes, parties, gifts, hobbyists or just for some plane good old backyard entertainment.
You will have access to templates, diagrams, ideas, etc. on my website to assist you in rocket construction and activities.
Experiment/play with many different concepts such as:
- Launch Angle/Air Pressure for maximum distance
- Balance and stability (How do you build a really GREAT rocket).
- Trajectory
- Accuracy~set a garbage can in an open area and see who can land their rocket in it from different distances---great fun!
- Air Drag
- Streamlining
- Lift~attach your straw to a paper airplane (or balsa wood plane), set your angle to 45 degrees and watch it glide and keep going and going and going.
- Maximum height/distance competitions~By the most enjoyable activity.
- Maximum time in the air competitions~open up a whole new world by exploring with recovery mechanisms (parachutes, etc.)
No additional materials are required for the setup of this launcher.
You will need to supply:
- Rocket building supplies (paper, straws, tape, glue, modeling clay, duct tape, etc.)
- Pump (bicycle or air compressor)
