“In time, take time while time doth last,
For time is no time, when time is past.”

James Walton

Is it a bird?!! Is it a plane?!! It’s definitely not Superman… Mankind has always strived in reaching dizzying heights. Propel your wits and launch yourself into the world of rocketry… Water Rocketry. Achieve it by invoking the blessings of Newton’s and Pascal’s and also the power of nature… “The Real Water Harvesting”.

The need of the hour is in designing a water rocket which will be able to successfully leap frog the three rounds. Your creativeness and ingenuity lies in using the most suitable material and innovative design technique. If single stage rocket is being designed no more than three bottles should be used.

There will be a total of three rounds.

Round 1

This round will test the basic capability of any rocket – Distance. Points will be awarded on the basis of the distance travelled. One point will be awarded for one metre of rocket travel.
Hint: Keep in mind the 45° of a parabola and presence of 1/3 rd amount of water in the rocket.

Round 2

The ability of your rocket’s ability to stay in air is being tested here. The greater the time of flight the more points you will earn. This is a difficult task and all your ingenuity will have to be brought forth.
Hint: You can take inspiration from parachutes…. maybe even deployable rockets.

Round 3

This round brings the entrepreneurship streak in you. The confidence in your design will be portrayed by you. This round is an enigma and its totality will be revealed to the teams who have been selected after rounds one and two.

DESIGN BONUS

Creativity and Innovativeness never goes unnoticed. Bonus points will be awarded to teams with multi-stage designs or rockets equipped with special landing mechanism and so.

LAUNCH PAD

LAUNCHING MECHANISM- LOCKED POSITION

LAUNCHING MECHANISM- RELEASED POSITION

1. A maximum of three members in a team is allowed. Teams consisting of members from different colleges are also allowed. College identity card should be produced at the time of the event.
2. Launcher will be provided by us but you can make use of your own as well. The launch pad and launching mechanism's specifications and diagrams will be put up soon.
3. The only method to propel your rocket is jet propulsion.
4. A maximum of 85 psi will be allowed.
5. Your rocket will undergo inspection before launch.
6. Failing to start the launch when asked to by the coordinators could lead to disqualification of the team for that trial.
7. Some bonus points are kept for innovation and shall be decided by Judge and coordinators.
8. Judge’s decision shall be final and binding to all.

P = D + (15 *T) + B

P= Total points obtained from first two rounds
D= Points obtained on the basis of the distance travelled by your rocket.
T= Points obtained on the basis of the time the rocket is airborne.
B= bonus point won on basis of design.
