Lol, that's what happened to our rocket today :lol:

But our 2nd one got ~27 seconds each time we launched it :D

What amount of water is the best?
I seems that nearly 30% or 60% works well.
Thanks :)

I think about 40%.
100% of deaths are somehow caused by science.
Don't be a statistic.

Terrible. Our best ever was 17 seconds. But more often, it was 12. It was just never able to do well, no matter how well we built it.

I would think 60% would be too much; we were told at a competition that 50% "looked like an awful lot of water." But then we won :P

As Pressure increases, water does too.

No, as water increases, pressure (in Bottle Rocket, this is) does not increase because the air pressure must remain a constant 75 psi.

I mean, as the launch pressure increases, you should add more water.
