How to make a water bottle rocket

Image
    Building water rocket is a fun and easy way to demonstrate Newton's third law, In every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. All rockets are based on this principle. Materials : - Cork - play doh or clay - Bicycle pump - Bicycle pump valve - Tape - Thin stiff cardboard - Glue - Paper - Soda bottle ×2 Create the nose cone   •  Roll a piece of paper into a cone       wide enough to fit on the                   bottom of the bottle. Feel free to       use colored paper.                            •  Wrap the cone with tape so as           to make it more durable and             water-resistant. Add ballast to the rocket  The ballast gives weight to the rocket which makes the rocket fly straight and not tumbling round.    • Mold a small amount of clay but       not too little into the bottom of         the bottle. Secure it in place               with tape.    • Now tape the nose cone to the           bottom of the bot

Introduction to Rc airplane electronics

Image
                                                                                                     In this post about Rc airplane electronics. I will be talking about the main electronics of an rc airplane.    The main electronics are: 1. Transmitter 2. Receiver 3. Battery 4. Motor 5. Electronic Speed Controller(ESC) 6. Servo Transmitter    The transmitter is what you hold to control your airplane. This is usually the most expensive component that you will buy.  Most modern transmitters use a 2.4ghz frequency. These new ones have shorter antennas and are easier to work with than the older FM radio.  Transmitters have channels. Some have 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 channels. For a beginner you won't need a 12 channel transmitter, 6 channel is everything you need to get started.  Channels are the number of things you can control. A 4 channel transmitter means you can only control four things; Motor, elevator, rudder and aileron.  So if you have a 6 chann
