NEW Design! Soda
Bottle Water Rocket Launcher
New, more compact design, smoother launches, and looks better too!
Launcher will enable you to launch a plastic (PET only!) water or soda pop bottle
over 250 ft. into the air using only water and compressed air from a bicycle
pump, a foot pump, or an air compressor. The bottles can go way higher with
modifications, fins, weight, etc… The fuel (water and air) is essentially
free and readily available allowing countless launches without additional
expense. Launcher supports air pressure up to 125 PSI.
PLEASE READ
WARNINGS/DISCLAIMER!
After pumping up the bottle to the PSI of your choice, you
control when the launch occurs by pulling on the strings to release the trigger
from a safe distance and out of the splash zone. Launcher supports 1L, 1.5L and
2 liter plastic (PET) bottles. Great item for people of all ages for fun,
science projects, school classes, parties, etc. and may well draw a crowd where
it is used. Made in the USA by ME from durable non-corrosive Schedule 40 PVC
pipe and other parts I get at local hardware stores.
This one is different! It has a ‘spring’ to keep the collar
holding the rocket in place during pressurization. Prevents unwanted launches!
Also dual string firing mechanism pulls collar straight down instead of to one
side, resulting in an instantaneous launch.
‘H’
design also create
s
more
stability during launch.
Launching mechanism is adjustable to accommodate different bottles, just loosen the hose clamp and slide as needed.
Almost fully assembled! 1 minute set up. All you need to do
is screw launch rail into base.
Then
remove tape from the string and use the two included zip ties to secure string
to base so that when you pull, the collar slides down (see Pictures). That’s it! I
ship this way as it drastically reduces shipping.
If you are more of a do it yourself kind of person and want
to save a couple of bucks see my other listing for the kit.

Materials
and Tools Needed for Launch
Plastic (PET) soda pop bottle. I find that 2L
seem to work the best, but I’ve heard San Pelligrino
water bottles work awesome
too.
·
water
·
air source (bicycle pump, foot pump, or air
compressor)
·
2 tent pegs, wooden stakes, a wire hanger,
rock, or brick to keep launcher from moving when the strings are pulled.

WARNINGS/DISCLAIMER!
The seller is not responsible for any injury
or property damage resulting from the use or operation of this toy.
Recommended for ages 8 and up with adult
supervision.
Once pressurization has started do not touch
or tamper with the bottle in any way.
Do not exceed 125 PSI.
Serious injury can occur – the bottle launches at tremendous speed. DO NOT aim at anyone or anything!
Stand away from bottle when pressurizing.
Only use PET plastic bottles.
If
bottle does not launch, carefully remove pump and deflate, then pull off rocket
and reseed with less force.
If you have any questions please ask. I only ship priority mail. See my feedback if you have any doubts. Thanks for looking!
