Make that three. My water rocket launcher is power by common household
water pressure (45-70 PSI) and gets up to 75 ft. in the air with a 2
liter bottle. As for video the rocket accelerates so fast you can only
see a water column appear on the lauch pad.
I have never split a bottle from water pressure. (getting back to Lego
land)

First, thanks for the info on the capacity of a pop bottle.
Second, "water rocket and spud gun hobby" ?!? You learn something every
day.
Third, there are _two_ people who are involved in this hobby lurking on
this
list... and one of them has videos! :0
