Brings back memories of getting chucked out of a lecture room in college for letting off one of these... well, not exactly for setting one off,
more for falling off my seat with a fit of the giggles after a particularly spectacular launch!

P.S. Try it with wooden matches, but hold down the foil and launch the match...

We use to do a different varient on the same thing when I was at school (originally shown by our cool physics teacher)
Take an empty parker pen refill. De-head half a box a matches and put the resulting powder in refill. Crimp the end to a small slot. Place on top of a
burner and light. WAIT.....WAIT.....WAIT....WOOSH.
Can tell you how far they go, never found one of them.

we use to fill tennis balls up with matches and gravel, they just smoke a lot when you bounce them off a wall. good idea with the pen tube though!
