yay..!! we finally built the water rocket n the launcher as well....it took us about 3 hrs to finish it...fiuh..we were lucky as some seniors helped us a lil...anyway, after finishing the "building n designing part" we try launching it in the football field...well, the rocket is suppose to land exactly 15 metres, so we need to measure the distance from the place we launch..and guess what......non of us brought a measuring tape so we had to borrow form the lab..n the best part is that damn measuring tape can only measure till 3.5 metres..so we had to like measure a few times...!!
blessing in disguise..the rocket manage to "fly" but it did not land exactly on the perfect distance..well at least ours manage to launch for the first try...YK's and Ben's rocket backfired for the first try..but after that theirs was better...their rocket land almost on the spot...after trying out for like more than an hour..we decided to "close shop"..on they way back to the lab to return the pump we met 2 of our "just met friends" who's also in engineering...one of them told us that there will be a basin (15 metres away from the launcher) and that the rocket must land inside the basin..and heck..it's not a big basin..it's quite a small one...this really makes it more challenging...i really hope this time the rocket will work..unlike me n su-lyn's previous project the stupid vehicle thingy...it backfired...!! when we tried it in my house it went for about 10+ metres but in the physics lab it only went 2 metres plus..F**K man..!!
this time..we'll build extra rockets and also the launchers...just incase..who knows...emergency happens..right??! anyway...i can't stay online for long today...i have to start studying 'Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer'..this subject is really killing me...i wonder why did i actually take this subject from the very beginning...oh well, i still have to cope up with it till the end of this semester though...
