Download or read book Make Rockets written by Mike Westerfield and published by Maker Media, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 1261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book teaches the reader to build rockets--powered by compressed air, water, and solid propellant--with the maximum possible fun, safety, and educational experience. Make: Rockets is for all the science geeks who look at the moon and try to figure out where Neil Armstrong walked, watch in awe as rockets lift off, and want to fly their own model rockets. Starting with the basics of rocket propulsion, readers will start out making rockets made from stuff lying around the house, and then move on up to air-, water-, and solid propellant-powered rockets. Most of the rockets in the book can be built from parts in the Estes Designer Special kit.

Download or read book Topics in Advanced Model Rocketry written by Gordon K. Mandell and published by Mit Press. This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advanced model rocketeer will find that this book allows him to predict every aspect of his model's performance. It is a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of the trajectory analysis, aerodynamics, and flight dynamics of model rockets; it contains many original methods and demonstrates a wealth of complex problems that still require solutions in model rocketry.More specifically, Topics in Advance Model Rocketry include methods that will enable the modeler to calculate the following: the "point-mass" approximation altitude for any rocket or cluster; the drag coefficient, normal force coefficient, damping factor, moments of inertia, restoring moments, and so forth, of his vehicle; and the dynamic behavior of his rocket, that is, oscillation frequency, amplitude, spin rate, and perturbing forces. In addition, the equations will allow the modeler to design his vehicle so that wind and other perturbing flight forces have a minimal effect on its performance.In the past, many older modelers left the hobby of model rocketry because advanced information and challenges were lacking; now Topics in Advance Model Rocketry can provide the veteran modeler with exactly the information he needs, while it also serves as a basis for further theoretical research in the field.

Download or read book ROCKETRY written by Carla Mooney and published by Nomad Press. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rocketry: Investigate the Science and Technology of Rockets and Ballistics introduces students to the fascinating world of rocketry and ballistics. Readers discover the history of rocket development, from the earliest fire arrows in China to modern-day space shuttles, as well as the main concepts of rocketry, including how rockets are launched, move through the atmosphere, and return to earth safely. Exploring the science behind rocket flight, kids learn how the forces of thrust, gravity, lift, and drag interact to determine a rocket’s path, then imagine new uses and technologies in rocketry that are being developed today and for the future. Combining hands-on activities with physics, chemistry, and mathematics, Rocketry brings fun to learning about the world of rocket science. Entertaining illustrations and fascinating sidebars illuminate the topic, while Words to Know highlighted and defined within the text reinforce new vocabulary. Projects include building a pneumatic blast rocket and launcher, testing a rocket recovery system, and designing a rocket model of the future. Additional materials include a glossary, and a list of current reference works, websites, and Internet resources. This title meets Common Core State Standards for literacy in science and technology; Guided Reading Levels and Lexile measurements indicate grade level and text complexity.

Keywords:Blue Streak;Black Arrow;Black Knight;Blue Steel;Rocket MotorKey Features:It is the only work to give a full and complete overview of the programmeThere are certain areas which are covered only in this book — e.g. the Black Knight research rocketA large amount of new material has become available in various archives over the past ten years, and this material has been incorporated into the new editionReviews: “The technical evolution and never-ending political debates associated with those missile projects are presented in great detail in this well-written and meticulously researched volume.” The Observatory Magazine “This book is to be highly recommended for its objectivity and realistic appraisal of an inspiring example of a can-do spirit. It is required reading for anyone seeking the truth about how Britain let slip one of its greatest engineering opportunities and was profoundly let down by a political elite that abandoned UK skill and world-class performance.” Spaceflight “Hill offers a series of fascinating snapshots on some of the technical and political issues these rocketry and missile programmes faced, often accompanied by his own thoughts and opinions along the way. ” The Aeronautical Journal
