In this video I experiment if a rocket can fly in a vacuum chamber. I use a special method so that we can observe the rocket exhaust thrust in order to make sure that the vacuum chamber stays under vacuum and that the rocket is not pushing off of any chamber walls. In order to do this I use a soda can as my rocket. Since the compressed CO2 is dissolved in the liquid we can actually observe the expansion of the gas by looking at the liquid in slow motion. This is needed in order to show that the rocket does not push of the walls of the vacuum chamber, but is actually moving because of the momentum of the expanding gas being thrown out the back. This is the same way that rockets work in space. I love this experiment because it shoots down any crazy notion that surrounding air is somehow needed or something to push of is needed in order for a rocket to fly in space!
