Water Rocket
A water rocket uses pressurised gas (usually air) to push water out the back of the rocket to provide thrust.

How do I build one?
You can find construction details for a simple water rocket in the Basic Construction section.
For those who want more performance out of their rocket or build bigger ones there is the Advanced Construction section.
