My man! Thanks so much for this video. Ive watched so many others that over complicate things. I made this easily and the parts are very obtainable 1 trip to home depot or any hardware store worth its salt. I especially like your choice of threaded pipes which eliminates timely and messy pvc gluing. My very first launch worked. I needed to tweak it only once and I have over 75 successful launches since with zero problems. Most fun I've had in a long time thanks so much. Oh and I did learn one very valuable lesson. Don't let any sand get inside the bottle top. It will scratch the launch pipe and cause future launches to misfire because there is too much friction and the bottle just sits there when the release is pulled. I had to sand down my launch pipe and carefully inspect the bottle before loading. No problems since. Thanks again.

Will this work with 500ml bottles as well?

This might interest you I built a 12oz bottle handgun version of this to shoot fishing line over trees with so I can hang my Longwire Antenna very high up in the air (static electric build up is fun when the antenna gets long enough- I haven't had the guts to charge the 55 Gallon Barrel Leyden Jar with it though). The small 12 ounce bottles fill in seconds with few pumps and hold more pressure, you don't need water, and they go faster due to less wind resistance- I can get mine up to 185PSI with the 12oz bottles before the seal starts leaking and they go around 500 feet into the air- although bottles are good for only a handful of launches because the lip of the bottle gets hairline cracks due to the pinhole gap between the bottle and the end of the pipe in the micro seconds after it gets launched and the air rushes through the pinhole gap many times faster then the speed of sound and shockwave pounds the lip of the bottle creating the loud pop you hear as the bottle gets launched.

+Bryan Ropar somehow I missed your comment months ago. I like the idea of smaller bottles. I will have to give that a try. You still used the zip-tie launch mechanism?

Not all bottle necks have the same diameter "grip", so the size of your release collar may be incorrect for some bottles. You may need to adjust the size of the collar so that bottles with small "grip" area don't slip through the cable ties. Also, the tire valve is designed so that it is installed by pushing it from behind with a rod. A Phillips screwdriver works great. Just slide the base of the valve over the screwdriver and push it through the hole. It will stretch out the rubber making it narrow and just slide through the hole. Good job adding the safety notes about PVC! Nice! Have fun!

Thanks! It comes in super handy when you increase the pressure. The cable ties get pressed so hard the color doesn't move!

I know that this is 2 years late, but for others, the PVC pipe with the string is used as the launch trigger. The PVC pipe is slipped up over the cable ties when the bottle is dropped into place. The string is used to drop this sleeve to allow the rocket to escape.
