By examining global traditions and ancient rituals, it shows how a variety of suitable species can be used for commemorative tree-planting celebrations.

Soda-Pop Rockets contains 17 different easy-to-launch rockets that can be built from discarded plastic drink bottles, old inner tubes, clothes hangers, and a few plumbing fixtures from the hardware store. Clear step-by-step instructions with full-color illustrations and templates accompany each project, starting out with how to construct a reusable launch pad.

If you’d like to track your rockets’ performance, it even includes instructions on how to build a clinometer to measure their altitudes and trajectories. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to build these projects, but who knows what career path you’ll take after you do?

aBoUt tHe aUtHoR

Paul Jarvis is a full-time engineer and a trained pyrotechnician. Making soda-pop rockets allows him to combine both of these disciplines, with appealingly explosive results. With this book he hopes to show that the art of bottle rocketry needn’t be rocket science.

Move over diet coke and Mentos, the soda-pop bottle has gone ballistic! the rockets in this unique guide will fly up to 90 feet into the sky, propelled by water pressurized with a bicycle pump. after learning how to construct the basic model, you’ll discover new ways to modify and improve the designs with built-on fins, nose cones, cluster bases, and more.

Designs include:

W A Long-Tailed Rocket using a bottle-and- pipe combination

W A Rocket with Nose Cone and Parachute that will return it safely to earth

W A Rocket Car for low-altitude missions

W A long-bodied Five-Bottle Rocket

W A Water-Cooler Rocket of gigantic proportions

W And much more!
