Bike pumps work fine for delivering air pressure, but students are hard on the pumps and we found ourselves replacing them too often. You can buy a low volume air compressor at any hardware supply store for around $100, and they work well as long as colleagues return them!
Do not inflate to more than about 60psi. It doesn't make the rockets go further and it just makes the system more dangerous.
We're dealing with high pressure and high velocity projectiles, so students need to be on their laboratory behavior. Students do not want to miss the opportunity to launch, so they tend to behave if they realize the consequence of screwing around.
Don't have students stand downrange waiting to measure. Safety...
