DIY: How to build Pressure Vessels with Reinforcement for Water Rockets

In this video we show you how to build a strong and reliable pressure vessel for your water rocket and how to reinforce it with fiber glass. This makes it possible to launch at up to 18 bars / 260 psi and fly more than 1000 feet high.

This tutorial shows techniques that are not invented by us. We want to say thank you to all members of the water rocket community who made it possible to build water rockets like that, thanks to their creativity and great ideas. We want to honor the minds behind this ideas and have created an area at our tutorial section at our website with a list of references.
A huge thank you goes to George from AirCommandRockets, who does not only build fantastic rockets but also helped us with optimizing the english version of this tutorial. Check out AirCommandRockets' KZbin channel:

SAFETY GUIDELINES AND DISCLAIMER:
To succeed with the construction of a water rocket, you will have to work very precisely and carefully. Especially some of the adhesives and resins are pretty dangerous. Thus, please wear gloves when working with adhesive or epoxy and don‘t breathe in the gases. It is recommended to work outside whenever toxic gases could develop. The launch of a water rocket may needs permission from the competent authority, depending on your location. You need the permission of the landowner if you launch on foreign territory. Please wear safety goggles when pressure testing or launching your rocket. Keep a safe distance to the pressurized rocket.

Excellent Video 🏆👍

[@AirCommandRockets]

Very nicely produced video guys. Very informative too! :) What graphics animation tool do you use for your animations? Also I would highly recommend using a roller cutter (they look like a pizza cutter) on the fiberglass cloth. I guarantee that once you use it, you will never use scissors again! :)

[@RaketfuedrocketsDeutschland]

Thanks a lot, George! :) We will definitely try using a roller cutter in the future, thanks for the tip. Every animated bottle section in this video is designed with a vector graphics program. We are using Xara / Magix (Web) Designer for that but you can also use Adobe Illustrator or something like Gravit Designer if you're looking for something for free. We then render the graphics as a .PNG and use the inbuilt keyframe-feature of our video editing software (Magix Movie Edit Pro) to move the sections. It takes up a lot of time but it's working quite well for us. Greetings from the Team! Julian

Another fantastic video, just keep it up! The explanations are very clear and the editing is cool. Congratulations to the whole team.

[@RaketfuedrocketsDeutschland]

Thank you a lot, we are glad you're liking it. :)

[@teamlucrockets]

Well done guys. This is a good informative and well explained video. Congratulations !!!

[@RaketfuedrocketsDeutschland]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@merlinchampenois6754]

Super video !!You are putting a lot of job in those and its worth it ;) Can't wait to see the next one.

[@RaketfuedrocketsDeutschland]

Thank you a lot for your kind words! In the next tutorial we want to show the construction of a parachute deployment system. However, it will take us some time to plan, shoot and edit this video. ;)

[@WATERROCKETSCLUB]

What a great day today! The second video about water rockets! High-quality and detailed video. Well done! Everything is intuitively clear even without translation. Yes, and completely agree on the roller cutter. It is irreplaceable for cutting rubber, plastic, fiberglass and is inexpensive.

[@RaketfuedrocketsDeutschland]

Thanks a lot, Sergey! :) We'll try using a roller cutter in the future. Are you using a translator to watch our videos? That's quite interesting to hear. Does the auto-translation of KZbin work well for you? And what does work better, English to Russian or German to Russian?

[@WATERROCKETSCLUB]

The automatic translator works very badly both with the English version, and with German. Personally, I know a little English, so the English version of the video is practically understandable to me. It is better to create an English version of the subtitles yourself. The audio track in English is very understandable. It is noticeable that you are trying to correctly pronounce the text and this is very cool. Sound like an English teacher at school ;0)))

[@RaketfuedrocketsDeutschland]

We offer proper subtitles on some videos, but we thought that it's not necessary with this video since it's available both in English and German. I've never thought about your scenario. I will add proper subtitles in the next few days. :) If you want you can translate the subtitles to Russian once they are available. This would improve the experience of Russian viewers a lot. I think your english is pretty good, based on the conversation we've had so far. I'm watching many English KZbin Videos in my spare time, that's mainly the reason why I'm able to understand basically everything. However, producing an own english video is a whole different story. ;) I'm glad you like it. I'm really trying to don't sound German. ;) Greetings Julian

[@RaketfuedrocketsDeutschland]

Hello Sergey, the subtitles are now available. If you want, you can submit Russian subtitles trough the inbuilt KZbin-feature at any time! Julian

[@WATERROCKETSCLUB]

Excellent

[@ASTRONAUTICO]

That's the video that I waiting for make my own fiber glass water rocket! Thanks for the hours do you took to made this, and the edition too!

[@RaketfuedrocketsDeutschland]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@joshguevara796]

Hi! I was wondering how did you make sure the tornado tube connecting the 2 pressure vessels did not leak?

[@joey1831]

How do you design a nose cone for the multi-vessel rocket? I don't want my rocket to end in a bottle neck, because it doesn't seem aerodynamic

[@09techbrokannada]

Where you got those bottles

[@michal_king478]

it hasnt occured to me that you could actually just use water bottles for the base of the tanks. Awesome!

[@Nikhilyadav-xn6tn]

Is Reinforcement necessary how will it affect the strength of the chamber ?

[@09techbrokannada]

I have interested in it but I not have any bottles can you deliver me

[@mza4698]

I have a question, what resin is better? Epoxi resin, or polyester resin?

[@mza4698]

For the case to reinforce the bottle

[@mza4698]

With the fiber glass + resin

[@datboi3283]

hey, warum soll man die Flaschen nicht ineinander drehen? Ich hab mit 2 Komonenten Kleber und ineinanderdrehen 12 Bar erreicht (danach hat die Pumpe mich hochgedrückt). (habe die Flaschen nicht extra verstärkt)

[@RaketfuedrocketsDeutschland]

Das ist eine Sache, die man generell beim Kleben beachten sollte. Durch das Verdrehen werden die Klebeeigenschaften geschwächt. Der Klebstoff sollte auch nach Möglichkeit immer in die Richtung, wie die Tanks zusammengeschoben werden, verstrichen werden. Welchen 2-Komponentenklebstoff hast du genau benutzt? Das Problem damit ist, dass dieser Klebstoff ja nicht elastisch ist. Vor allem Drucktanks ohne Glasfaserverstärkung dehnen sich aber aus, wenn man sie unter Druck setzt. Aus diesem Grund bin ich mir unsicher, ob der Klebstoff das all zu lange mit macht. Viele Grüße vom Team Julian

[@fiokgoogle8779]

Really no glue are aviable here around , i just make from metal.

[@vesmirnepribuzenstvo3026]

Can I jsem Pur leim glue? Pl premium Is not advible in my country (Czech republic)😨

[@RaketfuedrocketsDeutschland]

Yeah Ponal PUR 12 is perfectly fine. :)
