MOM’S CARPET

1 in 100 success rate.

The improvised design uses a needle along the match head.
Wrap tinfoil around head and needle.
Pull out needle.
Aim “rocket” at 45 degree angle.
Heat foil with lighter.

The rocket consistently flys 10 feet.

Just be careful with mother’s carpet not to burn holes. But they are a fun evening of kitchen rocketry.

Teach children SAFETY FIRST!

Removing the pin needle forms the rocket exhaust nozzle.
