steam rocket

cool man! well i did a little research and couldnt find that much, all the info i could find explained something like this>>> you get a tube and fill it with water and i dont know how much, but then the tube is subjected to heat such as fire or something to boil the water inside the tube and since it is a sealed tube the steam has nowhere to go except through a valve that is opened when its ready or hot enough and then all the steam travells through a nozzle where the steam gasses exit and expand and produce thrust. some people get mixed up with steam rocket bieng the same as the hydrogen rocket but the one im talkin about is just with water and steam. oh another cool thing i saw while looking this project up was how to make a steam water engine out of a coiled copper tube set over a candle or somthing hot and the two ends of that tube submerssed into the water, it kinda works like a pulse jet in a simple way of thinking.
