The Leeds Water Rocket Page
A simple rocket can be built of an empty Coke or lemonade plastic bottle. Partly filled with water and pressurized air the rocket can be blasted high up in the air. The pressurized air expells the water, which in turn creates the thrust to accelerate the rocket, counteracted by the air resistance and the weight of the rocket. Maximum speeds are up to 200 km/h and the world record height is more than 300 m!
