Build your own hydrogen rocket

This video will show you how to build your own hydrogen rocket with a pretty foolproof and idiot-proof design. Takes about 3 hours to complete with all the parts at hand.

Just a side note, for the electrodes, you can only get the carbon rods from carbon-zinc batteries, not alkaline ones. If you are unsure, just use Eveready AA batteries.

The rocket shown in the video was supposed to fly much higher but we lost quite abit of hydrogen because we had to take the rocket out of the launcher to adjust the spark wire. Nonetheless we were happy with the performance. To improve the launch height, add cones and fins to improve flight stability and reduce drag. A 2 part HHO 1 part water mix provides the best thrust.

How did you make your spark gap? Did you make it, it looks like you did Also can you reply to my message to you :)

@hereAIam Hi there, yup i took apart a cigarette lighter and extended the wiring to make the spark gap. A stove ignition lighter will actually work better (much more studier and reliable). I've replied to your other queries :)

What would it sound like if i launched it? If it sounds like a gunshot then i cant launch this where i live because people would call the cops.
