My sister has a high school competition to make a miniature rocket that shoots up - where the highest reaching rocket wins.
The best Idea I can think of is using
* a two liter pepsi/coke bottle and have a system to drop a whole roll of mentos into it
* hopefully without tearing the container apart it should shoot up
* we can streamline the edges for descent aerodynamics and perhaps have a central weight on the bottom such that it will perhaps maintain a straight line path after the contents is emptied out.
any help / ideas
*apologies if this is in the wrong section*
