My dad, the physicist, would have enjoyed making this with me. He was the biggest kid ever.

How happy he looks in the end is the most innocent thing in the world. He looks like a dolphin jumping out of the ocean lol

"Eventually"....... It was instantaneous!!😂😅😅😂 My genius friend and I will do it this weekend!!

I do a lot of STEM work and was working with the water and baking soda version. I like this idea. I think we are moving on to the solid engines due to simplicity , this is a good solution and something they can try at home

I had a toy rocket as a kid. You would fill the rocket half way up w water, then use a bicycle tire pump and give it 20-30 pumps. then using the release the rocket would go up about 60-80 feet.

After all these years, one of the reason why I love science is still here doing the thing he loves! Thanks Steve!
@GLORYWIELDERS
I remember doing this like 60 years ago when I was real little with my older brother!! It was so amazing, and he got such a big kick out of it, especially watching me go Gaga over him making a rocket!! We lived across the street from the Red Cross and there was a hospital there too, and they had a nice big lawn and we used to launch them off of that!! So fun!! Thanks for the memory!! 🙏🏼🕊️♥️🤗🥰😚

Houston, we need more vinegar 😂😂😂

I like how this video goes from elementary school to college in 2.8 seconds.

Loved Steve Spangler when I was a kid,he explained science experiments better than my school teachers

Just use a half inch pipe, put a cap with a tire valve on one side and stick the opem end into the bottleneck. Then pump it up with a compressor. Put a little water in the bottle for best results.
@jhersk
They sold a toy like this when I was a kid, called the Alpha-1. It had a base with a release mechanism attached to a string. So you could let the pressure build up, then pull the string from a safe distance. It really flew.

About 40 years ago, soda fire extinguisher were very popular on ships …but not good for electric fire.

The slow motion last shot makes it look like a 90's commercial

Very Nice! Happy Sunday Science community 👏👏👏👏 ❤️🔥⚔️🇺🇸⚔️❤️🔥

We used to use a bicycle pump, with a valve attached to a hose, on a 90 degree elbow, attached to a wooden platform. Fill the bottle a third or half full, put on the platform, use a piece of coat hanger to over lap the bottle's lip on the mouth of the bottle, and when it was full pressure, stand aside, and pull the coat hanger out of the wood so the bottle was released. It was only water, no vinegar, or baking soda, so it was an easy way to play with water in the hot summer. Kids got to learn about pressure, they had fun, and got wet to relieve the heat. It was a lot of fun.
@karlmahlmann
Very cool. I had an Alpha-1 toy rocket back in the 50's that worked on vinegar and baking soda. It went sky high.
@Gheist42
I had one of these kits years ago when I was in middle school. The class did a section on rocketry and everyone had to supply their own model rockets. Everyone but me had an actual model rocket so I (very poorly) attached fins and an adapter tube to the soda bottle, stuffed a rocket motor inside, glued a straw to the side and set it up on the launch pad. It went off and rose for a beautiful whopping seven feet before flipping on its side and spinning wildly directly into the crowd of students that was my class. Everyone ducked and scattered and it was awesome, made me feel better about not having a proper rocket lol.
@gothickingroachjfs5677
This is so exciting to watch! I know my boys will absolutely love watching your videos and try some of these experiments.
