The Safe Hydrogen-Powered Rocket

This rocket blasts an amazing 200 feet in the air using hydrogen fuel that children can safely create themselves. Because hydrogen fuel burns clean and leaves only water as its byproduct, it is considered the fuel of the futuremaking this rocket a unique and innovative departure from traditional hobby models. Simply mix tap water with included crystals that lower the waters pH, speeding the process of electrolysis. With a flip of a switch, an electric current begins breaking down the water into hydrogen and oxygen gases, which fuel the launch. The crystals enable thousands of launchesand the same tap water can fuel blast-offs for an entire day. Numerous safety mechanisms ensure that the rocket can only be launched vertically, that the ignition button must be held a full 15 away, and that ignition wont occur without all parts properly fitted. After launch, the sturdy ABS plastic rocket drifts gently back to earth on spinning helicopter blades. Requires six D batteries. Ages 12 and up. The manufacturer has confirmed that this item meets U.S. Federal toy safety standards for lead. 20 1/2 H x 10 1/2 W x 10 1/2 L. (2 1/4 lbs.)
