Dual Option Water Powered Bottle Rocket

Dual Option Water Powered Bottle Rocket
Most bottle rockets are powered by air, but I've made this one powered by water. A 2 liter bottle will go about 20 feet off the ground. This is a dual option rocket launcher. If you want to launch 1 at a time, close the ball valve and put it on the left side. To fire both, open the ball valve.

I love to make and build things, especially duct tape things, catapults and secret stashes. I can do a little work with electronics, and I am a slight pyrotechnic as well.
