Our team developed a self-contained and reusable water rocket system consisting of a payload carrier within a cylindrical tube. Our objective is to demonstrate a rocket propulsion system within a classroom setting in a cost-effective manner.The water rocket appratus, integrated with sensors, will provide students with valuable experience in data collection and analysis. The students will be able to see and learn fundamental engineering concepts such as thermodynamics and dynamics first-hand.
