Of course, ideally, all the crafts that we make with our own hands must carry some cognitive element or have a decorative purpose. But sometimes any of us need to just have fun and relax. For such purposes, a homemade missile from matches can help. This hack will help you have fun.
How to make rockets from matches - materials
To create this miniature missile from matches, which at the end of our work can truly get air, you need to stock up the following materials:
- a box of matches;
- foil (can be used from under the chocolate bar or kitchen);
- a classical paper clip or wire;
- needle or safety pin.
When everything you need is in your hands, you can start making crafts.
How to make a rocket out of matches - a master class
Of course, matches are not a toy, so we recommend that you take part if your child decides to make a rocket of matches with his own hands. Otherwise, dangerous consequences for the child's health are possible.
- Let's start with the manufacture of the smallest rocket. From the foil cut a small piece. Dimensions of the segment should be the following: the length is about half the length of the match or a little more, the width is enough to just wrap a few times around the head of the match.
- After that, put together the match and needle (or safety pin) along the length so that the tip of the latter touches the sulfur.
- Then we wrap the match with the needle with the previously prepared piece of foil. Please note that the edge where the sulfur is located should be wrapped. It is important that the match head is very carefully wound, so that the air is not passed through.
- Then carefully pull out the needle. A small hole will remain in the rocket. It is through it that the gas produced during combustion will leave, which will lead to the "flight" of our rocket.
- While lay aside the hand-made and create a stand for our crafts. If you find a clerical clip, just bend its core aside.
Then fasten the rocket on the stand.
If there is no paper clip, create something resembling a paper clip from the wire.
It will not be superfluous, perhaps, to warn that it is possible to launch a self-made missile only in open terrain. Installing a rocket with a stand on a flat surface, light another match, place it in the head of the rocket and set it on fire.
Less than 5 seconds later, the missile from the match will take off. There is another way to launch a rocket, more secure, using a box of matches and a small candle. If it's really scary, we propose to make other, not less beautiful and original, crafts from matches .
