On the Discovery Channel they had Myth Busters attempting to lauch a
person with 15 3 liter soda bottles filled with water and air with a
nozzle to work as a rocket. As part of their testing, they pumped a 3
liter soda bottle up to 150 Pounds per Square inch when it failed
(exploded). As the AirZound recommends only pumping up to 80 PSI,
there should be no problem using a regular plastic soda bottle 16 oz to
1 liter for a replacement. The packaging recommends getting a
replacement from them, which I feel is not necessary.

The Air Zound bottles have the now, old fashioned hemispherical
bottoms. This is obviously more suitable for withstanding high
pressures than the shaped sides and corrugated bottoms currently in
use. Soda bottles also seem to be thinner than they used to be.
Obviously, the test shows that there is some margin left with ordinary
bottles. I have been gradually creeping my Air Zound pressure up to 100
psi with no problems so far.
