Here's a few photos of the Bigfoot Water Rocket Launcher System
The below device has a US Patent for many of it's unique features that make it the best launcher available today. The pictures below are made available for prospective customers only.

<------ Looking at the front of the launcher. There are two sides that fold out and work as outriggers to stabilize the launcher from tipping over. There is a nice quality folding black handle, which is handy for carrying.

Launcher can be tilted for shooting rockets at an VARIOUS angles.

Not shown is a handy carring case inside the body of the launcher.

<----This is side view of my special all stainless steel trigger mechanism. It works unlike any other trigger mechanism on any other water rocket launcher. It has a safety to prevent accidential launches. The pull string can trigger the mechanism at almost any angle around the launcher. Once the safety is removed, the trigger is very easy to fire, which eliminates the chance of tipping the launcher.

This is front view of pressure gauge and both brass manifolds. The manifold on the left has a gargen hose hook-up fitting. On top, there is a special air inlet fitting, which allows for ALL types of air line hook-ups. In front of the manifold is a chrome valve handle for turning the water on & off. The manifold is equipped with a safety pressure releif valve.

The manifold on the left holds the oversized brass pressure gauge. It also has a chrome valve handle that is used to ABORT a launch. This is very handy for "bench testing" rockets for pressure. The manifold is equipped with a SECOND safety pressure releif valve, for extra safety. This second relief valve provide the safe means to do DRY ICE LAUNCHES, a unique feature of the Bigfoot Launcher.

 

Isn't this the best looking pressure gauge? It took me several years until I found a source for this gem.
It's very easy to read with it's large face, needle, and lettering.
The back is encased in a brass jacket. I'm very proud of this gauge.

I'll be adding more to this page to show more features of the Bigfoot Water Rocket Launcher System.
