Abstract: A model rocket and launch system in which a rocket is launched by combustion produced from a mixture of water and calcium carbide. The water and calcium carbide are combined in a mixing container and launch tube and create a combustible gas. The container and launch tube incorporates a spark chamber consisting of a spark element device and electrode. Both the rocket body tube and launch tube includes a conductive coupling device and is designed to be co-dependent of each other in order to complete an electrical circuit for ignition purposes. The launch tube conductive coupling device and is electrically connected to a spark element device. Electrical current is sent to the spark element device and electrode when the electrical current provided from a high voltage generator passes through both the model rocket unit and the launch system unit via the combined conductive coupling devices.
