Hi, I just a quick question to you all what size of nozzle is better for more height 30mm or 21.5mm in other words is a small nozzle better or is a large...
If I were to believe what I see in the Antigravity videos maybe 6mm is better sometimes. I consistantly get really good launches using a Gardenia Nozzle;...
... That all depends... If it is a launch rod then bigger is *always* better. Note that for a launch rod size equal to nozzle size, thrust actually increases ...
The following information from Clifford's simulator ( http://homes.managesoft.com.au/~cjh/rockets/simulation/ ) disagrees with the idea that bigger is better...
How funny that Rocket Rob and I both posted variations of the same answer at almost the same time! A good analogy would be throwing a baseball (or cricket...

That's It! I must not be using the official Jon Launcher Alcoa Sports Caps! I'll send you one of what I use here so that you may compare them. Little did I...
You should have heard how excited the Alcoa people were when I told them about my use of THEIR sport caps--"Wow, if we could start marketing them this way we...
While it makes sense that higher velocity will always result (under ideal conditions) in higher altitude, the law of diminishing returns will exact its price...
I feel one of the reasons I have quit launching is due to conflicted air space around here as well as not much large lawn for crashes. There must be 3 air...
