Actually, if this is your idea, i used to play w/water rockets when i was a
kid, but i don't know if any1 still sells them.  It is a light plastic rocket
about 4-12" long, filled halfway w/water, & pumped w/air from the bottom, &
then launched by releasing the latch seal on the pump.  It would certainly
move, but would expire pretty fast unless u could find a way of regulating it.
They were pretty cool, & just a wee bit dangerous if u hit sum1 w/them.
      U might also consider the tank from a super-soaker water gun.  They
expire slowly, & w/a little work u may be able to do what u want w/it.
      Thats all for now.
