First, you’ll need some sort of launcher to get a controlled result. You can buy one or build your own. Here’s an example:http://www.playfairtoys.com/product/Geys…
Now you need some method of measuring. Here’s an idea: Measure the height of a 3rd story window. Then lower toilet paper out of it. Make sure you’ve measured out how much toilet paper you’re using and that you secure it to a specific point on the ledge so you’re consistent. You may need to tape a light weight, like a light cardboard tube, to the end to hold it in place.
Now launch your experiment next to the building. The highest wet point on the toiletpaper is your measurement. You can repeat this with different types of soda, different types and quantities of things to put in it, different sized bottles, there’s all kinds of variations you can do. You’ll need a new piece of toiletpaper each time of course.
They did this on the Mythbusters, you might want to check into it. They tried to break down the various things that are supposed to help improve the effect to determine what the final cause is.
They got their measurements with a high speed camera. There’s a number of ways to do it, but I don’t think that’ll be an option for you.
Good luck
