In use replaceable membranes are inserted between the two halves of the launcher, the two halves are then joined and a lightweight rocket is fitted over the launcher. An air pump is used to pressurise the launcher, with sufficient pressure the membrane bursts which launches the rocket. The height the rocket reaches depends on the type and number of membranes. Teaches the relationship between pressure, pumping (work) required, acceleration etc. Adult supervision, safety glasses and crowd control are required for safety. With 1034 Kilo Pascals applied the rocket can reach 305 metres. With 2 rockets, 60 membranes. Pump not included.
