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.

PAPER PRESENTATION

About the event

A paper presentation is a structured event where students share original research and technical insights (Domain – Robotics & Automation, Thermal, Design, Manufacturing and Materials) with an audience of peers and experts. Rather than reading a written paper, presenters use visual slides to deliver a concise, engaging summary of their problem statement, methodology, key findings, and real-world impact. It serves as a vital platform for knowledge exchange, rigorous academic debate, and constructive feedback through an interactive Q&A session.
