I saw one of these built by what I would call  the love child of Einstein and Macgyver on a BBC show called Bang goes the theory. He used a fire engine pumper truck to supply the water for the thrust. It's on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFjih5bFfK8)  and other things like a votex canon. The peanut brittle rocket engine seems not to be on there anymore. He claims to have made it quite cheaply

If there are ladies hovering over your local pond...then yes!
