Hello everybody! Here's my entry for the Launch It! Contest, The Alcohol Fueled Soda Bottle Rocket, the most awesome thing you can do with a soda bottle other than empty it!

Right, this is the Alcohol Fueled Soda Bottle Rocket, a rocket made from a soda bottle that is fueled by alcohol and other volatile liquid vapors. I originally posted this thing months ago, but ewihem unposted it since I didn't have any pictures at the time. That was back when I was a noob that didn't use proper grammer. I haven't reposted until now, so I still have rights as the first liquid fueled, combustion rocket on Instructables, despite the fact someone else posted a similar design.
So anyway, this rocket is a load of fun, first I'll show you the vids (start with the one on the top and work down) and then I'll give instuctions.

I however used a spark ignition. These were pretty energetic little bottles! I even tried increasing the efficiency by adding water to give it more propellant mass.
This is ridiculously dangerous
I've accidently sprayed myself with alcohol (see forum I was on Fi'yah), it doesn't burn long enough to harm you, although it's a different matter with other fuels. That's why you were safety equipment.
ALuminum foil
Though it is a good idea to terrorize someone with it but not a good idea if you know your gonna end up in jail.
I know.....
after a few google searches
Fire and houses do not mix, when something disasterous happens to someone, you'll be held accountable
B: i don't care if you think your the first
Nor do I, but I was the first to post this idea on Instructables, even though it was removed. This instructable was unpublished for a long time, and due to computer problems I wasn't able to post until now(for proof see here here here). In one bug I state I want to enter the Launch It! contest, it was posted before you even joined instructables.
C: same instructable with minor differences
OMG don't make me laugh maniacally. They are by no means the same instructable, and the differences are larger than the Sahran desert. I don't see how you could think that they were even related. My instuctable offers vast amounts of more insight and information than yours, and if I had copied yours, I would have had to spend such great amounts of time making it mine own, I would be better of posting a paper airplane. One more thing, if your determined to sy I'm a liar and that I stole your idea, ask ewilhelm. He may remeber upublishing my instructable as well as my rather unfriendly response. I was such a noob when I joined 8 months ago.Thats over 30 times the length youv'e been around. You posted your rocket-like abomination the day you joined, and your instructable shows extremem signs of rush and carelessness. So instead of poping on me about my instructable, I recomend you fix yours.
In the sake of friendly competion, let's let this problem just die
