Explosive rockets look just like Crayola crayons
A rocket-mad inventor has created a set of rockets which look like a box of colourful Crayola crayons.For years John Coker enjoyed making rockets which looked, well like rockets. But then a friend commented to him how similar their shape was to crayons.
John then decided to produce a selection of colourful rockets which would be shot skywards from a 'box' shaped to look like a Crayola crayon packet.
He adapted the design of his 3.5ft mid-sized rockets using specially shaped wooden noses and bright paints… something he says was child's play.
John then took the eight rockets to Nevada's Black Rock desert where they were safely launched.While not all of the Crayola rockets fired successfully, some reached as high as 2928 feet.
"Since a friend pointed out that my I-ROC looked like a Crayon, I've had the idea in back of my mind to build a Crayon rocket. Not just a Crayon rocket, but a pack of Crayon rockets," said John.
"This was a great project and the flight was a crowd pleaser. It was a shame that only four of the rockets flew, but we'll be back."
