Aquapod Soda Bottle Rocket Launcher


Soda can be said to be the lifeblood for many a hyperactive kid as well as adults, so it is no wonder that our landfills are getting more and more of those empty soda bottles. If you want to take up the responsibility of keeping our planet clean and green by recycling, then you might want to check out the $24.99 Aquapod Soda Bottle Rocket Launcher. It is basically a science experiment that you would do well to give it a go when outdoors – and not indoors. Using a clever combination of air and water, you are able to launch a 2 liter plastic soda bottle all the way up to 100 feet into the air.

Definitely a messy project to play around with when you are indoors, so it is highly not recommended to have “fun” this way unless you have a rather comprehensive insurance policy, that is. It is recommended that a bike pump with a pressure gauge is used so that you know just how much pressure has built up inside. The Aquapod comes with an emergency release at 60psi, so if you want to maximize the effect, just pump it up to just before that.
