Water Rocket World Record - 3155 feet (961m) 

Congratulations George and the Air Command team! Great to see the rebuilt Horizon rocket fly so well. Looking forward to more updates on the 2 stage progress!

Congratulations. Amazing achievement! Looking forward to seeing the booster in action as well

Now we know why the Germans in WW2 skipped their early water rockets.

Hi George just a word I like, yes I really like what you share with us all, a big THANK YOU

That old recommended video brought me here and CONGRATS to the successful launch -spacex!-

It's amazing to see this water propelled rockets.I also kept looking at that lonely hill that looks like a pyramid covered with mud.

Congratulations! High integrity displayed as always from genuine enthusiast groups ❤️ Let's all rise higher together 👨‍🚀

Awesome! Congratulations, George and team!!

Sir,you are such a intelligent man and have a pleasant voice to be heard!

Wow, congratulations. Watching all of your videos have definitely inspired me.

Great job guys what an achievement ,the sound of it taking off was insane 👍

Congratulations, that was really impressive, very good job sir, will you ever teach how to make that water rocket?

I had a toy hand pump water rocket when I was a kid in the 1990s. It was very cool! It would launch about 100 feet or so but that was the top of the world to a kid.

Congratulations George and to all the Air Command team, that’s a fantastic achievement. Do you mind if we share this video across our social media platforms?

If I'm reading that graph at 8:43 correctly, the rocket accelerated to about 1100 ft/s. That's about 335 m/s, which is Mach 0.98. Holy phreaking smokes, people!!!

Holly molly😳😳 that launching speed is incredible bro

I am curious if the team could experiment in high velocity/pressure laminar flow... See if there's a way to do that, as if the 'exhaust' all goes out parallel or in a straight line, omre momentum could be directed perfectly away from said rocket... Yay rocket science.

The most sincere congratulations! I just can’t believe that this is possible! You inspire all fans of water rockets for new projects and records! What will be the height in the final configuration? 1500 meters? Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen!))))

For a water rocket that acceleration is insane!!

This is really cool, I like watching all kinds of rocket launchings, but I see a lot of really good solid propellant rocket launchings with most of them appearing to fly straight but also spiraling, this rocket I think anyway hardley spiraled at all, great flight, thanks.

congrats!!! I hope you guys break 1km soon. would it improve performance to add some salt to the water and cool it below zero? it would increase density of both the air and liquid.

You should get together with the Slo-mo guys to get some great launch footage!

Hi guys, should put a reaction wheel in this to control the roll more. Check out Joe Barnard's latest launches.

LINCOLN PROJECT GOT THE BEST ADS

awesome! for field participants, i would highly recommend SPF50, reapply in the field as needed. :)

Thanks. Could multiple rocket with the same body raise the altitudes? If same body with 10 rocket would be reaching Boeing ...quite impressive and can be improvised anywhere... brave was it 6 minutes in air? If so then speed of earth rotation is 10km / hour as my detect android sensor revealed

Hats off George!

G'day George. I live in Queensland Australia. I just came by your channle. An interesting hobby. Do you have a long term goal like reaching space ?. abd what is the futer of the programe ?. Gerard.

Scuba tanks are filled to 3000psi, what could be achieved with that I wonder?

I wonder what impact a hydrophobic coating on the inside of the tank and nozzle would have on the velocity of the water.

I should probably try water rockets especially as one of my solid fuel static test failures has recently gone through the neighbor's shed

Good job for reaching those altitudes you are only 39 meters away from joining the km high club and you maybe be able to reach the mile high club with the full water rocket

I recognize the kid in the 2011 video !! He grew up so well !

Congrats! Great flights.

This is way out of my league, but I was curious if you ever tried putting soap/foam in with the water? I saw a video showing this improves altitude. Not sure what it would do to this type of high PSI rocket.

Vous êtes fort sérieux..

Very nice launch. Well done!

If we could utilize the technology we could make a water powered engine for renewable transportation

wow, this honestly is amazing!

Was the rocket made from bottles or any other material?

Did anyone notice burst of light above as soon as the launch issue. NASA system of lighting god was working too

Well done!!

Love it the wind caused by the flies ROFL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Amazing job do u think it's possible to get a water rocket to 4k feet?

Would heating the water before launch increase thrust?

Hi! I wanted to ask where the center of gravity should be, our rockets have many stability issues. Or could there be other factors? Thanks!!

This is flight 8 niner we are being intercepted by water bottles over....

3000 feet but going down from my perspective

Oh my God! What are the g-forces on this?? I really want to know! Amazing!

Hello can you tell us the top speed? Incredible I just learned about water rockets and I loved this video

the g froces must be crazy like 8-9g

amazing!

You pressurized it to 1000psi that the compressed air became water! Congratulations for "unofficially" taking the crown for the highest water rocket launch George! I personally think that using a metal nozzle and/or retaining mechanism is a must to break the 1km mark. Any plastic or composite material just won't cut it. WRA should alter the rules to allow metal nozzles at least. Because a metal nozzle doesn't become a projectile when it explodes.

Awesome!

When are you going to fly with the booster (Give a specefic time)

Are those missoe silos under those random domes of earth in ahat appears to be an otherwise featureless landscape??

At this pace, the Air Command Rockets team will take us back to the moon before NASA.

That thing is more successful than the Belgian space program.

here before this starts trending in 8 years

The acceleration must be just through the roof!

Congratulations from Italy! What you have achived in these years is amazing. I am looking forward to the flights of the first stage + sustainer. What will we get, 1300 m? That just blows my mind! BTW, you have recently inspired me to take on this hobby

That was over half a mile high. You have to go for the mile high club with a water rocket now.

Congratulations to this new Water Rocket Record! It's amazing to see how high water rockets can fly. :) You have been working really hard on this project and it payed of fore sure. We can't wait to see this beast flyiing in its final configuration. All the best from the team! Julian

When the rocket lifted off the ground the sound was insane

Yeah, it's harder to get motors in Australia. But these dudes don't care.

This thing is more successful than Pakistani space program

Looks like you will joining the mile high club soon ; )

Have you considered pressurizing with a gas like helium which will expand faster than air?

1km here we come!

A perfect way to foil heat seeking tracking.

Congrats George!!! A 1 stage rocket can fly 900+ meters, adding a few more stage might boost the height to the moon!!

It's a new WORLD RECORD! The previous record was set in the United States, and it was a height of 830 meters. You broke this record by as much as 131 meters! I wish you good luck in your future rocket science!

Since they dumped massive amounts of water into the exhaust of the Saturn V, shouldn't they dump massive flames into the exhaust of these...?...lol. JK...I'm impressed to hell on the engineering, great work!

My water rocket can’t even go to 200 ft ,it’s crazy to think water and pressurized air can send one to 3000ft

I used to launch model rockets in the late 80s with my school friends. Of course that was not enough for us, so we converted one into a bazooka.

Alucinamte, enhorabuena a todos. Me gusta mucho. Gracias por compartir.

The flies remind me of our trip to Melbourne (from US). Ugh.

Congratulations George from Spain. I've been following you for a long time and I really like how you work. I wish we were closer to meet you. Sergio

Bravo ti seguirò per vedere se superi la soglia dei 3 km

Amazing stuff and well deserved after all your effort you have put in. Congrats!!

hell yeah, i cannot wait for the two stage rocket! ;D

70 bars equals the pressure a match air rifle fires a pellet with 175 m/s. Crazy how fast your rockets go.

I fired my first ever water rocket yesterday made from a coke bottle to an altitude roughly 50 meters.

Use multiple miniature nozzles for increasing the payload and use parachutes for making it reusable.Best of luck.

using kilometers of hose attached to the rocket , pumping water in a lake and thus feeding the rocket , I think we can make it fly higher

Awesome ! an earlier vid of yours popped up with a link to this one.

You guys are getting close to breaking Mach1.. I'd love to see that water rocket make a sonic boom! Best of luck.

What a crazy build, what an amazing sound. Congrats to this record, although the project isn’t yet completed. I’m excited about what’s coming up next!

can we make water take off from the moon?

next time change the nozzle diameter to limit the high acceleration if you can, it would be more pleasant to watch, it would not break any altitude records, but it would look cool. You always can filled again and do it in the normal way.

다시는 물로켓을 무시하지 마라. Never underestimate water rocket again.

Very very good work!

this video is litterally about to blow up faster than that rocket.

Is it just 2L of water for achieving such height 🤔 ... Marvelous ❤

Cool. Not sure if you are still launching but red food dye in the water might make it easier to track it in the sky

YOU DESERVE THE WORLD RECORD!!.... YOU DESERVED THIS RESULT!!.... you deserved it , you deserved it, you deserved it!!!!

The future:Eco system friendly Space shuttle and Rocket No Smoke

a bottle rocket got higher than my rocket that uses 2 stage rocket engines I'm making 3 stages to beat this I'm not attempting to beat this with water rockets that insane

We can see very well that the earth is not flat. I shared this video on facebook to a group of flat-earthers.

FINALLY HAVE developed on plans for, Rockets that use: Water Pressure ************* >>> As a child, used: water pressured bottle lunching. -- Using just a bottle; a bicycle pump; & release mechanism ! -- Launches often Exceeded 100' (30m) ! -- When able to use plastic bottle, "rocket" was reusable ! (When first developed the plastic 2l "bullet" soft-drink bottle.) ?? IF able to achieve such heights, with just a bicycle pump: Why could not obtain heights NEAR/INTO Orbits ?? *********** btw: -- Most of water "vented" during launch -- Remainder of water, "vented" AS bottle went higher -- After all water was "vented", was venting moisture steam -- Once no longer venting, rocket continued by momentum
