Water Rocket Pages from U. Hornstein

Gyro assembling a rocket

Researching and playing with Water Rockets (WR) is a lot of fun. These pages are meant mostly for experienced water rocketeers. However, beginners will find many useful tips as well.
There are other pages listed on my links page where you can find more general information about water rockets. I don't see any sense in repeating general knowledge which has been described so well so often on other pages.

Below there are links to some highlights; much more can be seen by using the menu (left).
