Hi all,
Bit of a light hearted thread here... I just launched a bottle rocket with my sons (1 and 3 yr olds)... brought me back to the days when I used to play with them as a kid! I'm talking the bottle rockets that you fill half up with water, and use a pump of some kind to build pressure in, which pops out a cork and shoots the bottle up in the air... Completely safe if you are not in the way of the rocket going up (on the way down it has no weight). My boys were a minimum of 10m away each launch... Luckily enough, the minister for war and finance approved the purchase of the bottle rocket for my three year old, and then today brought me a 4wd air compressor for the pajero... it surely did make short work of launching the rocket! I'm fairly good with measurements (being a sign writer and heavily into physics), and I'd bet my left nut the rocket went 80m high! Anyone else have cool toys for their kids, which are fun to play with as adults? |
