Anyone can start making their own motors and rockets with this book, even if you never made a rocket or rocket motor in your life. You don't need a college degree in chemistry or engineering to be successful with this bookset. This first half of the book tells you how to design and build a rocket motor while the last half tells you how to design and build a rocket for your motor. This book shows you how to design and build your rocket motor out of PVC pipe and fittings or aluminum cases. We give you the knowledge to design and build your own rocket motor for the thrust-time curve you want. The book shows you how to calculate the limits of your motor case and design a solid rocket motor that does not exceed those limits. The book also explains how to design a rocket that will be stable off the launch rod, even in high wind conditions. It also explains how to get an FAA waiver for your high power rockets so you are always flying legally.

This book teaches the reader to build rockets--powered by compressed air, water, and solid propellant--with the maximum possible fun, safety, and educational experience. Make: Rockets is for all the science geeks who look at the moon and try to figure out where Neil Armstrong walked, watch in awe as rockets lift off, and want to fly their own model rockets. Starting with the basics of rocket propulsion, readers will start out making rockets made from stuff lying around the house, and then move on up to air-, water-, and solid propellant-powered rockets. Most of the rockets in the book can be built from parts in the Estes Designer Special kit.
