Product Description
The award winning Air Burst Rockets System incorporates an entirely new propulsion technology, utilizing air to create a shock wave and venturi effect that launches its rockets higher and faster than any non-combustion rockets on Earth! Through the bursting of membrane boosters within the launcher, Air Burst generates astounding power that sends its rockets to amazing heights. With a few pumps from a stand-up bicycle pump, its rockets can be easily and repeatedly launched. And the system is completely safe -- no combustible or expensive rocket engines used! With five different altitude levels to choose from, you can launch Air Burst rockets to varying heights reaching up to 1,000 feet and even beyond visual range. Be prepared for a truly amazing model rocketry experience! Each set includes launcher, two different rockets with contrail streamers for enhanced visibility, and 60 membrane boosters. Bicycle pump sold separately below. (The system operates with any common stand-up bicycle pump.) Also sold separately are additional rockets and booster membranes. Recommended for ages 10 and up. Adult supervision suggested.

 Great fun! July 24, 2010

Started our search for a water rocket, but ended up with this air rocket instead. It's such a bundle of fun. The simple addition of our bike pump and we were ready for lift off. It's really amazing just how high this rocket flies with a few of the booster added. I highly recommend.
I would totally recommend! October 4, 2009

I have to say - this rocket is a blast! I hooked it up to an electric air pump so I wouldn't have to manually pump it - just turn it on and wait a few seconds (about 12). Worked like a champ and went super high! I went a little overboard and put 2 red membranes in at once - not a good plan - the top of the rocket cracked open after a couple of these launches (though it did go so high I lost sight of it). Stick with 1 red membrane and you will enjoy this rocket for many flights.

This rocket launcher is pretty good for just air launching. The launcher has a limit for how much pressure it can hold. I've purchased the launcher on ebay under "soda bottle rocket launcher" which comes as a kit. This launcher launches soda bottles using water and compressed air. Of all the launchers I've tried this one out performs them all. Its lightweight and durable enough to hold up to 120 psi and sends rockets screaming into the air. Designing rockets and recovery mechanisms is a blast. Check out the link to youtube that demonstrates this launcher being used! Oh, it's only $[...] plus s & h!!!!!

Seems fairly sturdy, made of hard plastic on the vertical pieces and flexible foam cross members.
It works by charging up an air cylinder with a bicycle pump. You need a good quality pump to get the maximum pressure launch. There are small vinyl disks (red = 60psi, white = 30psi) which burst at a specified pressure which are at the top of the cylender. You can stack them, up to the limit of 160psi. I found 2 reds burst around 120-140 on my pump. To get the maximum altitude hard/fast strokes to have the disc burst when you are pushing hard, gives the rocket extra kick. When the disc bursts, all the air shoots the rocket off.
My 50lb son could launch up to 1 red + 1 white which went up 150ft. I had no problem getting 2 reds which gets to about 300-400ft (the limit of my vision).
The rocket simply arcs over and comes screaming down and impacts on the foam nose, bouncing about 20-25 feet on impact. Keep a strong lookout on high launches to make sure it doesn't come down on you. We never had one come too close (typically 30-40 feet away). I would not recommend launching in high-wind, as this thing would go a long way...
If the rocket doesn't launch DO NOT approach it unless you disconnect the pump. We had several launch when nobody was pumping (just pausing, we didn't approach) which could certainly take an eye out.
If you are stacking discs, the 60 run out fairly quickly (although 30 shots in one setting can get tiring). A spare rocket comes in the box (if there are trees nearby this could be useful). The discs are fairly cheap.
