This rocket's first stage thruster is powered by layered lithium ion batteries, all being charged improperly. Once the charge is completely against the manufacturer's recommendation, parallel series of explosions will take place as the batteries are mistreated appropriately. The rocket will then ascend
quickly into the sky. The power from this will be immense, and ecological as most of the batteries can be harvested from scooters thrown into the sea, or phones thrown into the rubbish.

* a convenient unit of measure, but you can use a scooter battery if you prefer. |
