Any idea for an unique working model based on the above principles?
A model rocket which detonates a firecracker with the ejection charge of the motor. You could calculate the thermal energy per second of the motor and the total work or impulse it's expected to give which would give you the expected height for the rocket. You could also do the amount of time the sound from the firecracker would take to reach the observer which would cover sound.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
