How to make rockets that shoot over 40 feet, with aluminum foil and a match.

Because of the popularity of this project, I’ve put together a detailed 28 page PDF (http://bit.ly/MatchboxRocketsPDF) with step-by-step instructions, Fun Facts, Helpful Hints, and loaded with pictures. I’m selling them to help compensate for my time. You can get the Project PDF here if you’re interested: http://bit.ly/MatchboxRocketsPDF

Project Inspired By:

A video by Marek Hayward I saw over a year ago. (http://bit.ly/IBMatchRocketLaunchPad) If you check out the link, please share the love and let Marek know that Grant Thompson sent you. 🙂 Thank you!

WARNING:

Although these rockets are only fueled by one match head, they do get hot enough to burn fingers, and leave scorch marks in carpets. This project should not be attempted without adult supervision, and if done indoors, safety precautions should be in place to mitigate any fire hazards. Misuse, or careless use, may result in property damage. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:

After seeing the video by Marek Hayward (which had 10,000 views at the time, and is now over 1,000,000!) I dropped everything I was doing to try this experiment.

Unfortunately I couldn’t get much success with it. The rockets only seemed to work about half the time, and the needle they were launching from would get coated in carbon and tar residues after only a couple of launches, which seriously affected the performance.

In addition, the rockets weren’t balanced, so once they fired, they wouldn’t shoot very straight.

It’s taken me over a year of prototyping and testing, and playing with different ideas to get the result you see in this video. I developed the idea into a full-on matchbox rocket launching kit, which I’m super proud of, and excited to share in the project video.

These rockets shoot consistently between 20-40 feet, and one of the biggest factors to whether the rockets work or fail, depends on how tight the crimp is on the rockets nose. Any rocket that has failed on me has almost always been because the crimp wasn’t done right, or wasn’t tight enough.

The rockets will propel the furthest if they’re launched from a stable base that has little to no give. If there is any give on the launchpad, that will absorb some of the energy and the rocket won’t go as far.

Multiple tests in my house confirmed that if the rockets land on the carpet, they need to be moved within 1-2 seconds, or they will begin to melt into the fabric. The aluminum casings are heated in a flame until they reach the auto-ignition temperature of the match head, so you can expect them to be very hot, and may want to be wearing gloves when you recover the spent rocket casings as well 🙂

This is an awesome and exciting project whether you’re a kid or and adult. It’s impressive to fire a rocket with one match head and see such power, and the smoke trail it leaves in it’s wake is extremely satisfying as well.

I’m giving away the template I made for free, all I ask in return is that you please share this video 🙂 You can get it here: http://bit.ly/MatchboxRocketLauncherTemplate

When we arrived at New York City’s Toro, Chef Jamie Bissonnette warned us that we were going to be in for a night of heavy drinking. He hadn’t had a night off with his friends in a long time, and rest assured that he came through on that promise.

After a shot of Fernet Branca at Toro, the crew heads out to John Dory Oyster Bar in Chelsea with a few portable gin-and-tonics in tow. Upon arriving, the guys throw back dozens of raw clams, then order up a few carta di musicas, which Jamie heralds as the “best bite” in NYC. Then it was down to Nolita for some champagne-sabering at Pearl & Ash, where there were wines to be sampled and potatoes bravas to be consumed.

The last stop before heading back to Toro is at The Four-Faced Liar in the West Village, where we find out about a little something known as the “stuntman shot.” When Jamie is on the way back and realizes that he has to cook for everyone back at Toro, he’s puzzled on what to make. But his prep cooks are kind enough to leave out some ingredients out for him, and the end results are some very memorable creations.
