I need to find out how to make a successful water rocket using this simulator and I can't get the rocket to launch more than 25m high. Please help D:
The only restrictions I have are that the bottle must be 2L and for fuel it will use 500mL of water and air compressed to 276kPa.
25m seems pretty high to me. What distance are you looking to get out of it?
it says its a beta and i'm not allowed to participate because i never get invited to betas,
also remember, if at first you don't succeed, get more power! (increase the pressure)
Uhh...I think I broke it....there's no way this thing could *checks* holy shit 300m and climbing
EDIT
500m and climbing..it just wont stop
Should the Thrust be over 1000 gs with a 2 liter rocket?

25m is the default distance for the rocket when using the pressure and volume I'm supposed to. The problem is that I can't get it to go much higher at all. I'm looking for at least 30m, seeing as some students in my physics class have somehow achieved 40m :P

That's strange, it's not a closed beta, it is just a java applet.

It says its a closed beta, but i could still use it.
