Measuring Rocket Motor Thrust

Watch as Jonathan Blakely, a research physicist at the US Army Aviation & Missile Center in Huntsville, Alabama demonstrates measuring the thrust of a model rocket motor using equipment that can be found in most homes. This amazing video introduces the concepts of how rockets work, demonstrates the design and implementation of a testing method, and then plots and analyses the data on a graph.
