Fun and science together! by Homeschooling Mom 5 Stars
June 27, 2009
Worked great! The kids and I enjoyed putting this together, learning about the science behind it, and launching it several times. The first launch did take several minutes to occur (as warned in the instructions), so some patience was involeved. A hit with the kids (6, 9 and 13) and adults alike!

I had dismissed them until I saw this thing in action. You wont believe how little hydrogen/oxygen mix it takes to create a tremendous amount of energy. My rocket reliably went over 10 stories high again and again. I was impressed. Now I just need to figure out how to get this technology into my car engine...

Product needs work by J. Conaway (Glendale, AZ)  2 Stars

I also had a hard time getting the rocket to fly. It seemed to help to extend the cord for the rocket fully. Like it had some kind of built in safety mechanism.
