ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves a liquid jet propelled rocket and rocket launcher. The launcher has a housing which includes a vessel for holding pressurized air therein, an inlet to the vessel and an outlet from the vessel. Also, the housing has a jet tube receiver extending from the outlet and adapted to connect with a jet tube of a rocket assembly. A pump is connected to the vessel inlet of the housing, the pump is connected for and capable of pumping air into the vessel at a pressure sufficient to launch the rocket assembly. A one way valve is connected to the pump and permits the flow of air only from the pump to the vessel. There is a rocket assembly latch mechanism located on the housing with means for releasing the latch. There are also, a rocket assembly which includes a liquid reservoir for receiving liquid and subsequently receiving air under pressure from the pump, a jet tube extending from the liquid reservoir and adapted to sealably and releasably connect to said jet tube receiver of the housing. The rocket assembly with the jet tube is releasably attachable to the housing with the jet tube coupled in fluid communication with the jet tube receiver by the latch mechanism, wherein the liquid may be stored within the rocket reservoir, and air may be pumped into the rocket reservoir and into the launcher vessel by means of actuating the pump.
