Conceptual Toy 2 - Pressure Rocket

This toy utilizes two dimensional motion, energy conservation, and pressure. The fuselage of the rocket acts as a container for the air to be pumped into. There is a latch on the pump station to prevent the rocket from moving. The pump is used to build the pressure within the rocket. Once the pressure reaches a certain point, the latch will be released, and the rocket will take off.

The rocket can be cheaply made from using plastic for both the pump and the rocket itself. In a commercial model, there could be a target board included in the package, so that friends can get together and compete for points to see how far they can launch their rockets. Recommended for ages 4+.
