Good stuff. This page on water rocketry combined with this page on Spud Cannons will come in handy when I retreat to a compund in the midwest and decide to spread propaganda about the govenment. Seriously, watch your back, folks.

This movie even more fun frame-by-frame.

Turns out the pumpkin was bumped up independent of the bottle, and then the bottle caught up and powered it even higher. Pretty neat.
