Seeking immediate creative assistance /sci/
Whats the most creative rocket payload experiment you can think of? Me and some pals are in a competition where the goal is to make the coolest, most awesome, sciency experiment.
There rules are as following:
-Payload must fit in a soda can
-Flight time is restricted to under 120 seconds
-No hazardous materials, like flammable, explosive, corrosive, ect.
-No biological materials (its vague where the line goes here)
Mind that it needs space for an arduino or similar microcontroller and sensors + battery. the experiment is supposed to be observed only through the microcontroller via a telemetry downlink.
Hit me with your best shot /sci/ we need ideas
It's simple.
>build V-2 sized rockets
>the warhead is a tin can sized package full of HMX
>GPS guided
>fire rockets from the deserts of Nevada to go shell people in Massachusetts
For real though, I'm thinking a helium balloon that just pops into being like a piece of popcorn in the stratosphere.
Pocket sand!
A frog
unless you're going to put a bomb on it to murder shitskins you need to fuck off right back to /sci/ you kek
Forgot pic.

Why so hostile?

>-Payload must fit in a soda can
If we are going to be stupid, lets do it right. The only right answer is ball bearing laced explosives.

>capture bees
>put bees on leashes
>attach leashes to can
just a soda can full of soda reinforced such that it doesn't burst from depressurization
then you can make the "russel's teapot" argument, but call it "anon's soda can", and then whip out the fucking proof that there's a soda can in space orbiting the earth filled with mt. dew and completely rek the atheists
Watching marshmallows explode in low pressure is always fun, but I dunno how you'd observe that through a microcontroller.
>>28091148
you use a camera, simple as that, we're planning on using a 32 bit microcontroller so we can get some serious data collected
>>28091148
i dont think 1000 meters would make a marshmallow explode from pressure change... you can get bigger fluctuations in atmospheric density just from wind or weather
>>28090950
op here, forgot to mention the rocket will only go 1000m up

Man, your rocket is gay.
Engineering students with a hundred dollars can take pictures of the stratosphere and you're busy playing with Estes model rockets.

op here, im studying rocket science in norway, and this is a competition to make an interresting payload, it has nothing to do with the shitty fireworks toy rocket. We usually make a copuple of student rockets from scratch that go up 30-40km, but that isnt what im after now, i need an interresting concept for a payload.

Hostility is here because you're essentially asking about nonweapons on a weapons board.
>>28091228
1km?
Are you serious?
Yeah, sorry, back to >>>/sci/

Put solar cells around the surface area of the can.
And while you are at it, a laser designator that points at a target of your choice.

IDK maybe a gopro? im thinking something with a fluid maybe or a gel. maybe have an unpressurized can and see how flys respond to a free fall enviorment?
if you can do a Night launch however I got an idea.
Rocket star tracker.
or steerable parachute via servos
see if you can like control the landing radius or something
NAR HPR lvl1 here, Launched my DX3 up at bong and lost it.
do people ever steal rockets they find in the forest? Im pretty damn convinced someone stole it because I went to look for it in the fall and couldn't find it anywhere
>>28091524
oh 30- 40k WOW
do you use like Lox and rubber as fuel or something?
I had an Idea Maybe see if there is a difference with popcorn being popped at high altitude and low altitude
