SoDaptor - The Affordable Educational Air Rocket Launcher
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 7:39 pm
I just backed this project on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ai ... rocket-lau
About the Project:
The most fun your kids will have without gunpowder! The SoDaptor makes rocket science fun, safe, and inexpensive for kids worldwide!
Launching Air Rockets is nothing new. There are lots of amazing launchers on the market and if you spend a few moments searching you will discover lots of plans for building your own. Even the idea of using Soda Bottles as a power supply is nothing new, lots of people have posted plans for using duct tape solutions to the problem. However, duct tape is no permanent solution and it becomes more of a hassle than an enjoyment.
SoDaptor makes rockets easy and fun! Anytime you get a 2-liter bottle, you just screw on the SoDaptor and you are ready again, no mess, no fuss.
SoDaptors have proven to be a success in the home and classroom, however our current production cost is too high to benefit everyone who needs them.
We are at the stage we need to purchase an injection molding system, which will allow us to create SoDaptors at a fraction of the cost, and we can supply them to kids to explore science.
The initial cost of injection molding is more than we can cover. This is where our KickStarter campaign comes in. With your help and pledge, the funding will be used to have molds professionally created, and mass production can begin.
With your pledge of $5 or more you will enable us to begin production on a scale that will make a meaningful difference to thousands and thousands of kids. Not to mention you will end up with some really nice thank you gifts from us!
