BOTTLE ROCKETRIX — MECH technical event at Invente '26Mechanical Engineering

BOTTLE ROCKETRIX


Bottle Rocketrix is about turning everyday objects into vessels of dreams. It's about turning a plastic bottle, water, and air pressure into a roaring spectacle that defies gravity. The rocket has a bottle as body and the compressed air inside pushes on the water as it tries to expand. The water pushes downwards through the nozzle. The water rushes through the nozzle, making a thrust to counter the weight and air resistance. The thrust pushes the rocket upwards into the sky.
