Rocketry News

A multistage (or multi-stage) rocket is, like any rocket, propelled by the recoil pressure of the gases it emits as it burns fuel. What characterizes it as "multi-stage" is that it successively jettisons one or more stages as they become empty. It is effectively one or more rockets (stages) stacked on top of or attached next to each other ("parallel staging"); in order to reduce the total amount of mass which needs to be accelerated to the final speed/height. Generally each stage consists of one or more motors, plus fuel and oxidiser tanks for a liquid rocket or the casing for a solid rocket. In rocketry, this concept is known as staging. Solid or liquid rocket Boosters are often used for parallel...

The sport of model airplane combat has been around now for decades and in recent years has grown exponentially. The human race is naturally competitive and it's only natural that modelers are going to find a way to pit their flying skills against each other.In combat, competitors tie a lengthy streamer to the rear of their model, and take to the skies in an attempt to cut their opponents streamer with their propeller or wing.

Until recently, most rc airplanes were powered by small two-stroke engines, using liquid fuels. Models powered by electric motors were very uncommon, due to the excessive weight of the power system and battery. However, the electric rc airplane has become commonplace, especially in models meant for beginner pilots.Electric power advantages include reliability, convenience, low noise, low vibration, and clean operation. The disadvantage of early systems was low power relative to weight. However modern electric airplane motors, combined with advanced batteries, have increased the performance of electric rc airplanes by leaps and bounds.In the more common Brushed motors, current switching is done...

It is a device that attracts flying insects by shining ultra violet light and then traps them.What is ultra violet (uv) light? It is light just like any other light.

Songwriter's notes: I wrote this song a few years ago. My Mother and I sat at her kitchen table as she told me this real life story. I listened to her as another woman, not as a daughter. We both wept as she shared her sad end of her dream of finding love later in life. If it tells us anything at all, it tells us to take a chance; dive into possibility; recognize opportunity and NOT WAIT.... " 'Til The Time Is Right"." Till Time Is Right"a song:1) We sat at the kitchen table as her tears most freely fell. She said she'd like to tell me of a friend she'd never met. Her husband had left years ago upon her own request. but since that time she's been alone and alone is a lonely plan.Chorus...
