Making a rocket launcher may not be easy but it is worth it. The first thing needed is
the model rocket set. The set comes with the engine and all other parts to make the
rocket. The instructions to make the rocket must be followed. After making the rocket,
a three foot PVC tube and cap must be purchased at a piping store, such as Lowes. In the
cap of the PVC tube a one-fourth inch hole must be drilled. Electrical wire, that can
be found at any hardware store, must be purchased. A four inch wire must be inserted
through the hole in the cap. An electrical igniter must be attached to the end of the
four inches of wire. Instructions that came with the rocket set need to be followed to
connect the igniter to the rocket engine. One pole of a nine-volt battery, which can be
purchased at any Radio Shack, should be connected to one pole of any momentary switch.
The two unconnected wires from the cap must be connected to the open poles of the switch
and battery. It is ready to fire the rocket launcher. Making a rocket launcher is never
easy but the show is worth it.
