The construction of acid-base propellant rockets has been demonstrated on various kids' television shows (notably ZOOM on PBS-Kids).

The neutralization reaction produces copious amounts of carbon dioxide gas, which can dislodge and propel a cork (or in some cases a smaller bottle).
The construction is shown at the related link below.
