Talk:Bottle rocket

Bottle vs. water

So, if bottle rockets are the explosive rockets that you shoot out of bottles, what do you call the rockets that you make out of compressed air and 2 liter soda bottles?

Pop culcha refs

I don't know if you want some bottle rocket references from pop culture. But I came here trying to understand what this song might mean: "And she was born in a bottle-rocket, 1929, With wings that ringed around a socket Right between her spine All drenched in milk in holy water pouring from the sky, I know that she will live forever, She won’t ever die,"

-Ghost, sung by Neutral Milk Hotel

Phosphorus?

The article says:

the fuel is generally a phosphorus based black-gun powder

Do we have a reference for this? I am familiar with typical compositions used in fireworks, but not with bottle rockets specifically, and this seems suspect. I can believe that it's a black powder type propellant, but I don't believe phosphorus, especially in a 1.4g product. 24.91.135.162 10:21, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Sometimes bottle rockects have no tech at all.

ignoring the typo, what the heck does that mean? The only thing I can think of is "sometimes bottle rockets can be made using very basic tools and materials, no high tech needed" or something like that

Merge with skyrocket

This is a classic case of two synonymous articles growing alongside each other, providing more or less redundant information. Bottle rocket could easily be replaced by a disambiguation page for "small skyrocket" and "water rocket". Maikel (talk) 06:19, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Support: the same topic, with the disambiguation easily dealt with via a hatnote, rather than a disambiguation page. Klbrain (talk) 18:06, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
