Stomp Rocket Handheld Inclinometer
PaperModelers.com - Downloads - Handheld Stomp Rocket Inclinometer

What is an Inclinometer? Well it is a device that shows how high a Paper Stomp Rocket reaches.

To allow for better accuracy this Inclinometer has two sides. One gives a fairly quick reading by looking at a distance/angle scale. The other side shows the Angle, using the angle side allows you to more accurately determine the height using the proper math.

For more information on how to do the math:
Retired_For_Now has an available download in the Toys and Automata download section, called Straw Rocket Launcher that has details on the math needed. Furthermore it is an activity download for various things to do with these easy to make rockets. Also included are some free rocket designs.PaperModelers.com - Downloads - Straw Rocket Launcher Plans and Activity Book

This project is fairly accurate at showing how high your Paper Stomp Rockets go. Can also be used to determine the height of objects (houses, trees, etc.).

Best to use Index 110lb cardstock for construction.
