1+2+3 High-Pressure Foam Rocket

BY RICK SCHERTLE

CALLING A ROCKET THAT SPRINTS OVER 100 feet into the air a “toy” might be a bit of a stretch. Toy or not, this rocket really packs a punch. Fly it using the Compressed Air Rocket launcher from MAKE Volume 15 (makeprojects.com/project/c/585; get the kit at makezine.com/go/launcherkit) or a stomp rocket launcher (makezine.com/go/stomplauncher).
