I spotted some cheap plastic sample bottles on eBay so thought I would see how many Bicarbonate of Soda mini rockets I could launch in one session. This first video is the initial test set-up. Part #2 will have the launch but will take some editing to get it down to a sensible length. There may even be Part #2a and Part #2b depending on how I get on with the editing.

I cannot answer comments from people who have blocked replies, so if you don't get a reply to your question that may be the reason. It is probably worth reading my video description first because the answer may already be there. If you need a reply make sure your Google+ privacy settings allow replies from users that are not in your circles or add me to your circles first.

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
