This new rocket set uses a hydrogen fuel generating launch system to generate enough lift to blast these rockets up to 200 feet in the air. I was concerned at first that some form of electrolysis was being used to create the hydrogen, but it looks like “propellant crystals” are added to water in a mixing bottle to generate the fuel. (If they were using electrolysis, well, that would mean you could create all the hydrogen and oxygen you wanted, and hydrogen is flammable, eh?)
I was the one in my high school physics class to create what was referred to by my classmates as the “H(O2) bomb” by collecting 450ml of hydrogen and oxygen in a beaker, then sticking a match to it. My physics teacher referred to the incident as “a month’s worth of detention won’t get back the ten years you just took off my life.”

The Rocket does in fact use electrolysis as the method of generating the fuel, FYI.
