CO2 Cartridge powered Rocket Launcher!

The video tutorial demonstrates how to convert CO2 cartridges, typically used for airsoft and paintball guns, into rocket engines. It explains the construction of a rocket launcher using PVC pipes and a simple trigger mechanism. The tutorial includes test launches, showcasing the power and flight of the rockets. The video concludes with an experiment using larger CO2 cartridges, highlighting the increased power and challenges involved.

What is the primary advantage of using CO2 cartridges as rocket engines?

• They are more powerful than hobby rocket engines.

• They are cheaper than hobby rocket engines.

• They are easier to find than hobby rocket engines.

• They are safer than hobby rocket engines.

What is the purpose of the screw in the bottom of the launch tube?

• To stabilize the rocket during launch.

• To break the seal of the CO2 cartridge.

• To guide the rocket's trajectory.

• To add weight to the rocket.

How does the drilled hole in the base of the launch tube enhance the launch?

• It increases the speed of the rocket.

• It creates a visual effect when CO2 rushes out.

• It stabilizes the rocket's flight path.

• It reduces the noise of the launch.

What was added to the rocket launcher to allow for adjustable launch angles?

• A rotating base.

• A trigger mechanism.

• A weight adjustment system.

• A longer launch tube.

What was the main challenge faced when using the larger CO2 cartridges?

• They were difficult to fit into the launch tube.

• They required a different type of screw.

• They produced too much pressure upon release.

• They were more expensive than smaller cartridges.
