I made a water rocket with boosters from aircommands website....
I used paino wire and carbonfibre tubes.

You can see it on my instructable 'Professional water rocket guide'

It seems you have "borrowed" these pictures without permission. It would be interesting to see if you really built this with straws and paper clips. There are very strong forces involved here.

Here is the original article:

With full details about how this system works and the issues that must be considered.

 Do paperclips and straws really hold up to the immense pressure, and also what is the nozzle that is on the middle bottle cause I can't read the pictures

 So is it a gardena Valve? is it the generic hookup for like an aircompressor, to hook up to an air nailer?
