I simply thought that some of the new techniques, new technology that has excited me more recently deserved space to help excite the next generation. Having said all that I still find this book the best all around source for those who want to get beyond the ready made rockets at most retailers! This book is very well organized and has all the information you need.
We bought this and two model rockets for my 10 year old for Christmas. NOTE My son loves and reads everything science related, even if it's over his head he skips those parts and moves on. This book would not be suited for the average 10 year old who just wants the excitement of firing off rockets So there are formulas and details that are definitely above my son's understanding.
That makes this book all the better. He read through it in a months time and plans to go through it again When he is older, he will have a better grasp of high math and be able to better understand those parts of this book.
With that, I know this book will be used for years to come. This is probably the only handbook I've ever read cover to cover and enjoyed every page. The book takes you through some of the history of model rocketry as well as provides a LOT of design advice for people who are interested in building their own rockets from scratch.
It covers a wide breadth of topics and has enough information to pique your interest in trying new things with rocketry. The best part of the book is the common sense approach to safety and doing something that is dangerous but a lot of fun. If you have any interest in model rocketry at all, this book can help you get started and is a great resource for anyone who is interested in rocketry from young children to adults who are looking to beat their co-workers at a rocket competition sponsored by work especially if you can beat the actual rocket scientists!
The handbook is constantly encouraging the reader to try things out, to not be afraid to go out of their comfort zone, but at the same time provides practical experience based tips to keep you from doing something that might be classified as blatant stupidity.
As a boy, I checked this book out of the library so often, that when I turned 12 my parents bought me my own, brand new forth edition, hardbound copy. Over the years I have read it cover to cover too often to count. The section on aerodynamics and drag was especially engrossing to me. By the time I was fifteen, I hit a stumbling block in my understanding.
I couldn't figure out how to determine the coefficient of drag. Many years later as an undergrad engineering student, I finally realized that the coefficient of drag can only be determined experimentally Unless you're an aeronautical engineer trained in using some very sophisticated fluid dynamic modeling software.
I probably only flew my rockets once or twice a summer. But I dreamed about them all year long. The Handbook continued to captivate and inform me from the time I was a boy, until I was educated as an engineer. Moreover, it introduced and prepared me for many subjects. Harry Stine, founder and one-time president of the National Association of Rocketry, started the world's first model rocket company, whose kits are now in the Smithsonian.
Bill Stine, also a model rocket expert, is the founder and president of Quest Aerospace Inc. Reviews of the Handbook of Model Rocketry To date regarding the book we've got Handbook of Model Rocketry feedback people never have however remaining their own report on the experience, or not make out the print nevertheless. Although, if you have currently read this ebook and you are therefore prepared to create their particular findings well request you to hang around to go away an overview on our site we are able to release both bad and good evaluations.
Quite simply, "freedom associated with speech" We totally reinforced. The suggestions to book Handbook of Model Rocketry - some other followers is able to determine of a guide. Such aid can certainly make people additional Usa!
Harry Stine Regrettably, at the moment and we don't possess information about the particular performer G. Harry Stine.
