5 out of 5 stars ZOOOOM!!   April 12, 2007
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

If you like launching projectiles at incomprehensible speeds, making very loud noises, or launching more projectiles at lightning speeds then this book is for you it includes a few types of spud guns, a kite that you light on fire and the hot air slowly lifts it off the ground, three rockets two of which dont use fire making them relitively safe and some notes on safty (how not to blow yourself up) and a bunch of other stuff

great book!!!!!!!!!!

This an entertaing book. It would be excellent for anyone with kids. If more children and parents worked on these fun projects the kids would get an education, get out of the house and away from Video Games.

We have tried the tennis ball cannon from this book so far and had great success with it. It was a great weekend project that was cheap and easy with great results. Great for summer time fun with the kids.

This book provides for a lot of fun. I worked on a couple of projects with my kids. They turned out well. As with anything like this adult supervision is necessary.

My 15 yr. old son loves this book and quickly put together the Tennis Ball Mortar. Not sure if this stuff is legal in all places and it definitely requires adult supervision.
