Science and innovation for everyone. Water rocket science, adventure and fun. Educate your scouts, students or kids while having tremendous fun.
We started designing water rocket launch pads in 1997.
The basic requirements were to have an easy to use, low cost, launch pad for an engineering class. The launch pad uses
an end seal (not an internal O-ring) and holds the bottle down until you are ready to release it. The
locking mechanism is loosely based on a suitcase latch. Careful arangement of the PVC parts (mostly off the shelf) makes
it a strong, spring loaded, latch that won't release the rocket until you say so.
Our launch pads use ordinary soda bottles, or pop bottles, for scouts,
schools or hobby. Just add air and water/H2O.
We are not just about selling launch pads. We promote good rocket science, safety, scouting activites, and fun using air pressure
and water. No combustable materials!
