I used to launch rockets 100's of feet with water Rockets. You will fill the very thick plastic with water, then pump up the Rockets with a hand pump. The base of the rocket had the intake for the air, and was also the propulsion chamber. Release the tabs, and you would get a 100 vertical feet launch easily.

I do agree, the guy should had added Mentos, but that paper aircraft had the center of gravity so far off, any longer flight, and it would have gone out of control as is seen.

I do have to admit, that was some really seamless building using corrugated cardboard I've seen.

The Lego model is convincing! :)

Here's a neat bottle rocket using just water. ;)

That is cool! I used to use those plastic hand pump water rockets when I was a kid. The Red and white ones!

Very clever design!:) Love how he is able to get all the hole punches equilateral with one punch! The camera mount was well done as well. Thanks for sharing Z!

Working on that damned hanger deck red, yellow, green, lit up slits on the enlarged 1701 from Ron Caudillo. Going real slow, but there will be light leaks, as I don't want to continually rip it apart to solve minor issues. Once I button up the secondary hull, I can start on the dish assembly.
[here is a pic of another person's build to show the area.]
