DIY Paper Rocket Launcher Tutorial. This is a great project to do with your kids or with a youth group. The launcher uses compressed air to launch paper rockets farther than you would expect. Most paper rockets can withstand 2040 psi, but if you make them robust you can crank sometimes withstand 60100 psi. Ideal activity for kids 8 to 14 (and for parents too)!
