Additional Details
Take your classroom outside and run quantitative projectile motion experiments on a football field scale!
Engaging, safe, and easy to use, the Precision Air-Powered Projectile will launch consistently time and time again. The built-in regulator and slide valve allow you to launch on command at the desired pressure every time. The innovative slide valve and tubing make it easy to engage the rocket while the operator is at a safe distance. With the safety lockout clip and pressure release valve, you can rest assured that the rocket will only launch when desired. Angle adjustments are made easy with the integrated protractor, and the solid base is readily secured to minimize the effect of recoil. The Precision Air-Powered Projectile is designed to promote safe procedures for your students. It’s THE fun, engaging, and safety-conscious system for investigating projectile motion! Look no further for the best air-powered projectile launching system available! The Precision-Air-Powered Projectile is a great leap forward for both consistency and safety.
Consistency:
The pressure regulator ensures that the pressure you set is the pressure you get; the first time and every time. The easy to read gauge allows you to set the mark, and the safety valve makes over pressurizing a non-issue.
Safety:
The launch base is designed to be firmly staked to the ground. When you release the rocket, you’ll know where it’s going! Additionally, the pressurized vessel is external to the launch tube. Coupled with the pressure release valve, it’s a simple operation to cancel a launch without discharging the launch tube. The bright red rocket body is easy to see – a must whenever objects are flying through the air in the name of science.
