Outstanding water rocket, Batkiter. You are one of the greats in this field! Keep up the good work.

hi Batkiter

Its a good job you have a compressor because if you were to use a hand pump then you would be pumping for hours!!!

68 litres, WOW, that must be the biggest water rocket ever, its deffinitly the biggest I have ever seen!!!

We can't think of anyone building bigger rockets than this. It takes real dedication to make something that impossibly huge!

Next time you launch it, put a camera on it...would be cool to see the moster going from up close and such. but with out a doubt....One of the best water rockets I've ever seen

I think a video of this monster launching would be one of the coolest videos of water rockets ever made. I bet we could get it to go "viral" and millions of people would share the clip! It would be awesome!

Indeed

[JohnC]

I agree - I'd love to see this rocket in action!

Now that's a rocket... I wonder how big a water rocket can get before it just crushes itself trying to launch. those middle bottles have to be taking one helluva a strain in the first few moments of launch.

(imagine if second stage never fired and that thing just arced over onto someones car, or house)

I imagine that the only place that this could be safely flown is in the desert. It is probably also very time consuming to set up for flight so it probably does not get flown very often. Special flight clearances may also be needed to fly such a large rocket as well.

For our competitions we have a weight limit of 1,500 grams (empty) in the interest of safety and keeping the rockets classified as "hobby" which do not need special clearances to fly.

That's really cool. Can you tell me how the staging mechanism works?
