I built dozens of the things, and I used a match with the metal core from a twist tie to launch them with a 9 volt battery. I was also poor, but I cut a few lawns to buy my own toys.

    Hi it's great to see this sort of thing again, as a young boy more than sixty years ago I use to do something similar with my mates, but I kept the match whole. We'd put a small piece of aluminum foil over the match head and twisted it around the match just below the head, we'd wedge the match between a gap in some wood or brick, the only difference to your rockets is the match stayed where it was and the foil took off when lit

    When we were young in the Von Braun days of kid rockets, we would fill aluminum cigar tubes with match heads, bend the end to form a nozzle. Our gantry was a 3 hole brick supported at each end by other bricks leaving an open space below for lighter fluid impregnated straw. A remote train transformer located in our launch center bunker would be wired to a nichrome wire in the straw. Powered up the wire would ignite the straw and the match heads. Flights 100 to 200 feet were possible depending on the wind. Caution: nozzle opening can’t be too narrow. And don’t use powdered match heads, both can result in “exploded on takeoff”.

    We also made small cannons.
    We used thinner copper cartridges for ballpoint pens because large Parker types can hardly be filled with phosphorus and are more dangerous due to higher pressures.
    Fill one empty cartridge with phosphorus from 7-8 matches, seal it with the small ball from aluminium paper or a piece of wood, heat it and enjoy.
    Warning:
    We heated them while holding them in our hands and one exploded and metal shrapnel from the cartridge got stuck in my friend's cheek one inch below the eye.

    Great video. To get about 10 more feet in distance, try inserting a pin next to the match when you're rolling the foil tightly around it. Remove the pin after rolling. You now have created a tiny exhaust port which allows the gases to escape more forcefully than before. Try it.

    Interesting. This is a far more sophisticated version of what I did as a kid, and with matches still attached to the stick.
    Instead of the kitchen aluminum foil, we would take the foil from chewing gum. Modern gum isn't usually wrapped this way, but back in the day, the wrapping was like a thin waxed paper with an even thinner foil. You could separate the two with a little effort and the foil you got was super-thin. I don't know where you could get foil that thin otherwise.
    We lay a sewing needle on the match which would be our rocket and wrapped the foil around it several times. Pulling the needle out left the exhaust path for the rocket from the match head to the tail end.
    Bend a paper clip for a launcher and you're ready. The foil was so light, you could make it work with any match from the kind in the video to even little paper ones from a matchbook.
    Thanks OP. Those in the video are more powerful, directional, and cooler looking. I kind of wish I'd had the plans a long time ago. But I had a lot of fun with the simpler method.

      Foil boxes have little teeth along the edge, you're supposed to pull the foil along the with the teeth, and it tears really easily.

    On a larger scale, the armrest from an aluminum lawn chair ( the kind that has a rounded end) and using the “ light bulb filament taped between a pair of wires” ignition together with an official countdown from behind a bunker-tree, produced a wonderment of light, smoke and sound as the match heads ignited simultaneously, much like a solid fuel rocket with a large crack in the propellant.
    My friend and I scanned the sky, exchanging “Did you see it’s?” Until we noticed the crater and the bits of mangled aluminum around the launch pad.
    My friend said “let’s go saw the other armrest off my moms lawn chair”!

    I noticed some waterproof matches have very large match heads, and they (the heads) burn very long, like 3-4 seconds. Are these better for propelling these rockets?

    • @ryantorelli7501
      @ryantorelli7501 8 лет назад +1

      rootbeer666 no because you need a combustion to launch the match rocket

    • @rootbeer666

      @rootbeer666 8 лет назад +1

      FYI all burning is combustion. Fact. Not all combustion is burning though. You can Google for complete explanation.
      Really, I'd have to experiment with these rockets to conclusively settle the waterproof match matter, but sadly I'm too old to play with this stuff anymore.
