This is VERY cool. I've made an ICBM (Inter-Cublicle Ballpoint Missile) that could travel over 40 feet horizontally powered by canned air. Check the video at http://sailfish.exis.net/~djv/ICBMv4.wmv. I was trying to figure out a way to do a multi-stage unit using canned air and common office supplies, but I've had no luck yet.
