A hand gesture controlled flying toy can utilize one or more infrared sensors and/or pressure sensors to determine how a user is interacting with the flying toy and conduct aerial maneuvers based on those interactions. The flying toy may be configured to ascend when lateral infrared sensors detect reflections of infrared light in multiple lateral directions. The flying toy may be configured to ascend when a pressure sensor detects a pressure increase from below the flying toy. The flying toy may be configured to conduct a roll responsive to an upward infrared sensor and a lateral infrared sensor detecting reflections of infrared light. The roll may be oriented at least partially based on which lateral infrared sensor detected a reflection.

The present application relates to a continuous electric flying disc launcher, including a housing, a power supply module, a power assembly, a flying disc body, a limit assembly, a trigger, and an ejector. The housing acts as a carrier, the power supply module is installed in the housing, the power assembly drives a rotation of the flying disc body. A plurality of the flying disc bodies are sleeved on the power output shaft on top of each other. The limit assembly is positioned in the housing and configured to keep remaining flying disc bodies. The ejector is slidably arranged in the housing along a vertical direction, configured to eject the flying disc body. The trigger is arranged in the housing, configured to trigger the power supply module and control an action of the ejector.

A self-propelled rocket toy includes an elongated body located along a longitudinal axis having a top end opposite a bottom end. The body includes at least two supports outwardly extending from and fixed relative to the body. A propeller is centered about the longitudinal axis located at the bottom end. An electric motor is disposed within the body and mechanically connected to the propeller. A power source is disposed within the body and electrically connected to the electric motor. An activation mechanism is electrically connected to the electric motor and the power source. The activation mechanism may be a launch button. A countdown timer is in communication with the electric motor and the power source configured to delay the activation of the rocket after the launch button is pressed by a user. A flight timer is configured to automatically turn off the electric motor after a predetermined time has elapsed.

A launching system that launches a toy projectile. A launcher is provided that contains a handle and an elastic element that extends from the handle. A spool is provided inside the handle. The spool is spring biased by a torsion spring. The elastic element is anchored to the spool inside the handle and is at least partially wound around the spool. As the elastic element unwinds from the spool, the spool rotates in opposition of the torsion spring and stores spring energy in the torsion spring. The elastic element has a free end that extends out of the handle. The free end is terminated with a connector. A toy projectile is provided. The toy projectile has a receptacle that selectively receives the connector.

A water-rocket water-transfer-station, referred to as the water station, is comprised of a specialized manifold combined with a plastic carbonated drink bottle, which functions as a water reservoir. The water reservoir is pressurized with air to make a water transfer station for water rockets. By using pressurized air, water can be transferred from the water station to a water rocket launch system, referred to as the launcher, and into an attached water rocket. A second unique feature of this system is the ability to return water from the water rocket back into the water station reservoir, as in the case of an over-fill, or in a launch abort. This unique water station can easily and quickly transfer water to a water rocket from a water reservoir, and in reverse from a rocket, without having to remove the rocket from the launcher. This saves time and minimizes water waste which is important when water has to be hand carried into a remote launch field.
