Estes takes model rockets to the next level with the Hydrogen Fuel Rocket. This incredible rocket actually generates hydrogen fuel from water, meaning all you need is water to power an unlimited number of rocket launches.
Hydrogen fuel is clean burning, environmentally safe and energy efficient. Just put tap water in the rocket's generator and hydrogen fuel is produced. The reaction chamber then triggers the fuel for a launch that sends your rocket up to 200 feet in the air. Perfect for rocket enthusiasts and aspiring scientists. Set comes with an 11-inch ready-to-fly rocket with remote ignition button and heavy-duty launch base, plus an LED display that shows fuel generation and launch status. Requires 6 "D" alkaline batteries (not included).

- Fun when it works, but the batteries will bankrupt you!
- My son absolutely LOVES this thing, but the battery life leaves a LOT to be desired.
It uses a set of 6 D-cells, which need to be alkaline types due to the high current drain (I measured about 4A while generating the hydrogen, and 5-6A to heat the ignitor coil). Using a fresh set of cells, figure on getting 12-15 launches before the batteries start… More reviews
- Great, Endless Fun
- Why are there so many negative reviews on here?! This toy is great. I suspect the others who posted simply did not follow the instructions closely -- there are some strange caveats in the directions-- such as presoaking the generator in water and trying to keep the igniter dry (while pouring water at it...) but worked GREAT right out of the… More reviews
- Try it, You'll Like it!
- I got one of these for the 4th of July and it works great! Coworkers and I discuss options on all types of alternately fueled vehicles, and there is always a discussion about "water engines". I had dismissed them until I saw this thing in action. You wont believe how little hydrogen/oxygen mix it takes to create a tremendous amount of energy. My rocket reliably went over… More reviews
- Success! (finally)
- NOTE: this is for a similar system that has only one rocket in the kit and one LED; maybe called the "1876"? Looks like the same thing...
I got one of these for Fathers Day, and had several unsuccessful launch attempts. If I'd written this last week, it would have gotten 1 star. But with the… More reviews
- Two words: It. Sucks.
- There is nothing more I can say other then it didn't work. When I bought it was told as long as I followed the directions closely I'd be fine. I read every single thing in the box many times over and did countless tests and it just never fired. There was not even a hint anything was going to happen every time I pushed the… More reviews
