Concept 1: Empty Bottle Rocket

 

     Basic Principal: Propulsion Using Forced Air

      How It Works: The jet fits over the top of an empty soda bottle or milk container.  When the bottle is compressed         

                               with a sharp blow, the jet flies off.

                     Ages: 6 and up

             Materials: Plastic, Lightweight Styrofoam or foam of some sort

             Durability: Very durable-No moving parts

                                Bottle can be replaced

                   Safety: Large enough not to be a choking hazard

                                Soft enough not to hurt if the jet hits a bystander

Construction Cost: Very Cheap
