Conceptual Design Why we chose this design: • Simple design – meant to be easy to build for target audience • Ease of build and testing Iterations: • 3D Printing entire product (from rocket to stand) • Using a pool noodle to act as the rocket with 3D printed rocket cone and wings, accompanied with a wooden stand
Actual Design What Did We build?: Once put together, we have a functioning water-propelled rocket and launch stand. Why?: Simple assembly, not many complicated parts for messing up, ease of use for the customer, and EVERYONE LOVES ROCKETS! How?: We divided our project into different components and assembled the rocket in pieces before bringing it all together 1. Rocket Body (Smart Water Bottle): By using the water bottle, the build for customers and ourselves is much easier 2. Rocket Cone and Wings (3D Printed Materials): Using ABS plastic adds to the durability of our design, and the build from a 3D printer is both cleaner and more precise 3. Rocket Stabilizer (Wire): The wire ensures a straight launch of the rocket and limits danger to the surroundings 4. Rocket Stand (Scrap Wood): Wood is easy to drill through and decreases the build time by comparison to a 3D print 5. Means of Launch (Cork): By using a cork in the bottle neck, we are able to increase the pressure and launch the rocket

Feedback and Results Results: • During testing, we changed the levels of water in the rocket and varied our pumping methods, but were ultimately able to launch the rocket in a successful fashion • Some issues included stabilizing the rocket stand and determining when the rocket was ready to launch • Improper timing of testing also resulted in the wings falling off due to issues with the glue (patience is key) Customer Feedback: • Customer indicated that final product met all expectations coming into the process • Customer is really excited about the design and liked the additional water component to the rocket • No changes were requested by the customer • The customer did suggest a more colorful design, but the water bottle design is up to the consumer so no changes have been made
