Steel Vs. PVC: Steel Wins!

Today, the club bought one of the most essential parts of the water rocket project: the steel launcher. It will sustain 500 pounds or more of pressure on all parts, and hold up against 200 pounds of force downwards. Previously, our PVC launcher (as seen in the booster video) leaked and did a whole bunch of crap. However, this time none of that will happen. The steel will hold up to 2000 psi, so we needn't worry. Plus, the hydraulic pump will satisfy the steel quite nicely. Now where's that pressure gauge?

Life Is To Human as Money is to Organization

Hello everyone, I thought that you guys would like to see how everything is going as far as money raising. Well, I took a few screenshots to show you guys. First up are my eBay statistics. These show a few items that could sell for quite some money.


That gives us a nice total of approximately 64 bucks. By the way, if anyone has some old electronics, batteries or something to that effect they think could sell on eBay, could they please bring it in on Monday? Thank you. This would save us 5 dollars of processing fees. Remember, we need as much money as possible, so we can carry on our suborbital program. However, let's go back to the money raising program. Kevin Kang has graciously secured approximately 90 bucks for us, making 30 dollars left over AFTER we finish! How awesome is that? As for the eBay, if everything goes well, we'll make more than 200 bucks. That's with a deadline of March or so. One catch, though. Don't think we won't be doing the fundraiser, because we will be. Otherwise we won't be left with enough money for suborbital. Alrightie then, I gotta go, so I'll catch y'all next meeting! ;)
