I remember those water rockets!  Believe it or not they sell them out of the
Pitsco/DACTA catalog (which I was tipped off to by this list -- thanks!)

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.

Another was to put a plastic bag at the bottom of the plates. This got • me
thinking that maybe there could be a way to create a sort of "tube" and • blow up
a small balloon inside of it?????

If you are willing to use non-lego pieces then just use a couple of 20oz
soda bottles filled with air and sealed.  They are essentially free.
