HomeMade Propane Rockets - 2nd Attempt

Here is our 2nd attempt at making homemade propane rockets out of propane gas cylinders.

This time I took the propane cylinder and put it in a 3 inch pipe with only the threads, our target, coming out of the bottom. I secured that pipe to a fence post and lit a small gasoline fire underneath it.

The thought was that if I was able to shoot the threads on the propane canister, the escaping gas would catch fire and launch it like a rocket out of the top of the pipe.

After several attempts, we were able to get it to work. There might be a better way to do this and we may come back for an attempt number 3 in the future. Thanks for watching!
