Sounds like you need a spring-loaded plunger that forces water into a far narrower pipe from a reservoir. Try a joke shop.

Please don't ask me to use Google for you or I'll get angry and start shouting.

now a little thing we used to do as kids was to fit the valve from a bike tyre to the top of a bottle, half fill it was water and pump it up. When you took the cap off, the bottle would shoot into the air like a rocket.

Perhaps you could use something along those lines for what you want?

Another thought, Dave's got a bike pump that uses little compressed air capsules. That could be worth looking into as well...
