The Rocket Roll

Name Design Fabricator Launch Fate
Strike A ballon and thus not actually a rocket Jenny and Conor and everyone Christmas dinner with Martin Impressive {\sl sustained} flight
Time Large Green-Hanafin Richard LSI Its explosion was one of LSI's successes
Flash A rather flash Green-Hanafin Jenny and Andy LSI Did not develoup thrust
Pride of Homerton I Large Green-Hanafin Steve LSI It exhibited the second vice, that is fell over, and shot 12m across the ground
Pride of Homerton II Large Green-Hanafin Steve. LSII It exhibited the second vice, that is fell over, and exploded
Faffner Primative Nick and Rob. LSIII Exploded
Wotan I Primative Nick and Rob LSIII Did nothing
Castro Membrane Conor LSI Badly caulked seams ensured utter failure
Aerolith Membrane Dave LSI Flew like a stone
Uncle Toby A baroque idiocy best forgotten Conor LSII Utter failure
Corporal Trim Like the leaky rocket but used a blasting cap to drop the capsule of lN2 Conor LSII By its failure it demonstrated the need for mixing
Richard's Green-Hanafin Large mGreen-Hanafin Richard. LSII Probabely the most successfull Green-Hanafin rocket. It demonstated the mixing problem by only flying some 3m and then exploding when it hit the ground
Martin's Arsey-Varsey 1 Modified the standard Green-Hanafin foolery by having the lN2 in a gizmo bottle attached to the top Martin LSII First lN2 flight, didn't make it of the top of the pole, later flown as a hs rocket and almost deafend Richard
Martin's Arsey-Varsey 2 As above Martin LSII Blew the gizmo bottle into the air, flown as a hs rocket
Handheld Rocket Steves idea Steve LSI Failed to fly, failed to hurt Steve, very disappointing
Parson Yorick II mShrunck Bottle Jenny LSIII.V Jenny abonimated her companion's historic hs rocket by adding an over-sealed internal tube and blowing it to bits
Lepedotera 1-hole membrane rocket Jenny LSIII A truely astonishing horizontal flight which soaked Jenny and nearly hit Richard
Steve's Shrunck bottle mShrunck Bottle Steve. LSII ?
Tyson Shrunck Bottle The Oxford Intregral LSII and OiI ?
Cyrano Noses Conor and Steve LSIII and continuing Only flew 2 or 3m, it seems that there was some trouble with the delivery nozzle freezing. It will fly again
A-5 B. and B. series Steve and Bodil LSIII, LSIII.V, occasional secret sessions ?
Sea-Mouse 3l B. and B. series Steve and Bodil LSIII and LSIII.V ?
Occam 1-hole B. and B. series Steve and Bodil LSIII Steve broke of the thrust nozzle, Bodil then inexplicabely blocked the nozzle and blew Occam to bits
Richard's lN2-lN2. Richard made a rocket out of bits at the end of LSII. He filled it full of lN2 and jambed a cork in Richard LSII It flew 4 or 5m.
Parson Yorick hs Conor LSII The first successful flight.
Art hs, identical to Con Conor Possibly the Rocket Banquet, or possibly LSII. May have been the rocket that nearly killed Richard as LSII or it may have been the one we elaborately failed to photograph at the Rocket banquet
Con hs, identical to Art Conor Possibly the Rocket Banquet, or possibly LSII. May have been the rocket that nearly killed Richard as LSII or it may have been the one we elaborately failed to photograph at the Rocket banquet.
Behemoth A very large hs rocket Conor Rocket Banquet Blown to bits at the Rocket Banquet
Hog hs Conor and KC Rocketry in the Republic Failure, probabely too small a blasting cap
Sprog 2 bottle hs Conor and KC Rocketry in the Republic Succesfull 2 bottle hs flight, 20m by the bias eye.
Glen C hs Conor Richards Birthday Party The usually large nozzle ensured a good flight. 20m by the eye
Neil A hs Conor Richards Birthday Party. Flew, but badly since the bottom fractured
Buzz A 2-3l-bottle hs Conor Richards Birthday Party Blew to bits
Gargantua BB-sized hs Conor LSII and continuing Failed to ignite. It was then used as a BB-test rig. It survived and will fly again
Pantegruel Tiny hs Conor LSIII Flew a few gallant metres
Jenny's hs hs Jenny - Jenny made a pair of hs rockets to entertain her family while at home in Kerry. Notably one was launched using a chainsaw instead of a sparker
- - - - -
Xecutor Xecutor The Oxfod integral OiII Xecutor had an advanced release system, but suffered in retrospect from insufficient mixing. Flew 9m by the eye, briefly a record
Oxford Prophet I Prophet The Oxford Integral OiIII and LSIII.V ?
Oxford Prophet II Prophet The Oxford Integral OiIV The Integral showing the lack of the Great Designer blew this one to bits
Richard's Prophet. Prophet Richard LSIII.V The humanities subgroup think rocket making is easy, you put a balloon in a coke bottle and turn up at the site. They seem to be right, Richard's Prophet flew an impressive 35m by the eye and saved Cambridge's honour
The Harp Farm Prophet Nick LSIII.V Nick's version of the humanities prophet, flew 25m by the eye
Hermes 2-bottle Prophet Liz LSIII Exploded magnificantely
Yuri G 2-hole 1-bottle Prophet Conor Richards Birthday Party Exploded
Transfusion Transfusion the Oxford Integral OiIV Transfusion: A missguided attempt by the Oxford group to improve the Prophet design. After failure the bits were used to make Prophet rockets.
Rail Gun Stupid Conor LSIII.V A daft idea of Conor's to improve Prophet flight by using a hs boaster. The idea was that a hs rocket would push a Prophet up the launch pole. Obviously it exploded.
Big Bertha BB Richard LSIII Richard said "Oh Bertha you are so beautifull", before the explosion
