"Damn that kid was cool" 😂 I think Mike's jealous
OI
@@ThePinkDodo fight me bruh 😂😂😂
UA-cam actually recommended a new video for once, damn
“Why aren’t you making your own rocket fuel?”
He’s in a country where somebody attempting to use explosives to blow up Parliament is noted as an annual event every November. It’s probably a given that messing with explosives isn’t really allowed.
Sometimes i realice that people live in the UK by choice, and then i feel better about my life.
I´m spanish btw.
@@dracofenix3860 Dont be sad. there are people literally living on England
yeah but would making homemade explosives illegal really stop someone from trying to blow up parliament.
You can't even make sugar rocket fuel there? Seems pretty innocent
@@Noone-l6g You can't get KNO3 easily anywhere in Europe. It's probably for the better because of making explosives but I really want to build some rockets 😅
That mid-power rocket motor was even more impressive in real life! The sound! 😮
Would you guys be interested in seeing a High Speed Rocket Car? 🚗
That would be cool
Thats an awesome idea dude
What about a rocket rc boat?
@abdul bari the main reason why i want this is because i just wanna see what will happen
@abdul bari the only vids i have seen trying this are stupid duct taping a firework on a boat
I should have been worried when the camera wasn't shown in the launch sequence
That sound is awesome! Great job James.
Hi ramy
Cheers Ramy
@@Project-Air hey maybe use a water system to make less sound for you?
Hi RAMY ....Love from INDIA🥰🥰
@@littlegamer00 great idea
Yess mate been waiting ages for this
Sorry it's taken a while 😅
@@Project-Air No worries!
@@Project-Air Yes PLease
Thats an awesome rocket! Congrats! I can't help notice that both your Ender 3's have the spool mounted on top. I've done the same, but I found printing a spool spacer made a big improvement in printing, preventing the spool from wobbling the frame as it pulled round, made it much smoother and less artefacts in the print.
Hope my 2 boys end up like you. I'll tell you man, any dad would be proud to have you as a kid. Kudos lil dude, kudos
I must have read that too quickly the first time, it read like you wanted to be his father.
@@GhostRyderFPV haha. I have my own 2 crazy ppl
He’s not that little lol
You want them to end up in a country where it's illegal to make rocket fuel? Other than that though, yes
@@josefstalin4532 like in my country, it probably wasnt illegal to make rocket fuel until a certain incident in a country where it is still unbelievably legal to make rocket fuel.
Obligatory Canadian complaint; it was -2 today and I was walking outside and had to take my jacket off because it was too hot.
In Canada!?!
The 1st stage sound is impressive
Great channel, great projects, I suscribe
Excellent video, excited to see the next rocket iteration!
Great content. You're really doing an amazing job, and inspiring us along the way! The best of luck to you.
I felt that launch in my gut. Fantastic stuff. Great idea on using the Split and recording DVR next time, too.
Thanks man! Yes I think it will make a difference
Amazing launch, and great aesthetics! I too know the struggles of the UK climate...
Awesome project and really high quality video, really glad I found this channel
Nice projects
Nice design
Nice details
Nice hair
Nice everything!
Thanks for your content!
I get really excited when you add content about this rocket.
I have been waiting for the next installment! Great video!!
Been watching you for a couple years, gotta say this video was awesome and inspiring. Cheers mate
Dude these projects keep getting cooler. Great job
Been waiting for the launch for a while now! Can't wait to watch this video!
Awesome flight! with a two-stager it's always nice to get the second stage ignition to work!!! great work :DD
Frendly reminder from another rocket guy - always secure your electronic bay. In constructions like your, a strip of duct tape works florestly.
Learned the hard way haha
Absolutely amazing! You should continue making rockets and see how high you can get.
That's only legal in _some_ states
That rocket sounds fierce!! Good job.
Adding a streamer to your camera would improve the chance of finding it in the event it does get separated again.
One of your best invention
Video quality and content had improved and come along way well done!
7:30 i noticed the legend Tom Stanton in the bottom lol, i´ve seen that list before but never noticed it :D
So cool! Great job all around guys!
Outstanding job
finally some good new vids to start of the year
Appreciate all gps etc technical video content
YT just recommended this. Nice work! Think I'll check out more of your videos.
Thanks for checking it out!
Great launch - just got into rockets this is really impressive
Finally i always get so excited when i get notified about your vidéos i hope u all the luck
0:54 A6! Excellent content!
I am Finnis and at the moment there is -20°C:D
Fun I'm Canadian and it's not to cold out only -15 so it's been a pretty mild winter but I'm used to upto and past -40
*laughs in brazilian
I was looking for this lol
Is it just me or does this channel make everyone jump out of their chair in excitement? I almost spilled my coffee.
That’s massive power wow 🤩
Just to say I love what your doing and you’ve inspired me to make my own rocket:)
Amazing job! Keep it up!
Looks great !! Awesome job !
"3 degrees C" "wait 3c? thats warm tf you mea-" "f you keep complaining youll get complaints from canadians" "damn" (im canadian)
I’m from northern Illinois and that’s warm for this time of year, I’m moving to whatever tropical paradise they’re in
@@TheGreatCornholio. dude i dont wear a jacket until its like -20 C out lmao
Wdym 3 degrees is freezing 35 degrees is warm
@@Kanga4 3 degrees is light jacket and 35 is heat stroke
@@anthonygaiman4815 3 degrees and I’m dead in 1 minute
Man!!! I love your channel!!! I found you while watching Tom Stanton's video about the bouncing bomb. You have an excellent testing facility, enclosed by concrete walls. You also have a very nice launch field in beautiful surroundings. I do feel your pain regarding the typical UK weather. Must be frustrating. Anyways, keep up the good work. I love your videos!
yeah!!, looks like you finally got some good weather!
well done keep at it i enjoy watching all your videos
Awesome dude love your videos
Dude, I have have your watch. It is freaking great.
Hey James, many years ago at a UKARA event, a chap had a new high power rocket motor that didn't require an explosives license, and it might be time to revisit the idea. It was an injection molded (because this was pre-3D printing) ABS plastic rocket engine vessel, with a thrust nozzle, all in one piece. He had the top threaded for a feed from an NO2 tank, pre-filled the vessel with O2 to get things rolling (simple fill through the nozzle), and ignited the actual wall of the vessel using a spark across some speaker wire, from a fluorescent tube starter. This could be 3D printed easily, with some fluffy chaff to help the conflagration get started inside the vessel. You just need gas, and some solenoid activated valves, and you are flying.
What a brutal launch, almost like a SAM missile
This guy basically built a SAM. Looks a lot like an AMRAAM too.
I remember the first Sputnik, we had no commercial options so motor design, chemicals, and eardrum shattering explosions was part of that learning process. Fortunately I grew up in a neighborhood of Westinghouse chemists, and Bell Aerospace engineers building the Agena rocket for America's Project Gemini manned spacecraft program. I had all kinds of expert guidance, that would let their grass grown and ignore their wives and children to bundle in my parents basement do stress and strain calculations, teaching me use of a sliderule, no calculators or computers smaller than a mainframe IBM in those days. It was great fun, the local
Fire Marshall had certain reservations.
i love your vids man you inspire me to creative cool things
Mate keep at it, you're gonna get big soon.
Dude that's so amazing and cool bro
You inspire me
that went up CRAZY!!!
Omg finally I’m so happy I was waiting
In 1978 I built my first Estes 2 stage rocket that I bought at a local hobby shop. It featured a first stage with a 0 second delay on the ejection charge which then lit the 2nd stage off. Unfortunately being a kid without much money on the 2nd flight I used an existing C engine I had in my box which had a 1 or 2 second delay regular engine. On that second flight after the first stage was done the rocket tipped over at apogee and then the 2nd stage fired... it went way into the woods at the edge of our launching field and was never found again despite days of searching. I loved rockets as a kid and homebuilt 2 and 3 stage rockets out of cardboard tubes are really nothing new, though building them with GPS and cameras certainly is!
I swear, this dude is going to start making V1's but label them as "rocket planes"
Revenge!
And send them to Germany as a “return” gift
Today I made a plane rocket and we’re gonna launch it at France!
and a V-2
Fr. And this one looks like an AA missile
Great launch! My launch rail is a 2 meter curtain rail, reinforced with 20mm square tubing. Mounted on a tripod that is 1 meter high. Giving a total of 3 meters. We have level 2 in South Africa. So that is full J-Class motors. We do several km high flights here. So good luck with your project.
Tip. Build a secured E-Bay for your electronics and cameras. Because you are limited to motor ejection, you may have to look at a body split ejection. Where the e-bay and the nosecone acts as a single, long nosecone, and is attached to the booster by a shock cord/recovery harness.
You did inspire me to try to build my own RC vehicles...Thanks
Incredible launch! Nice one Jimmy!
U don't know if that was a joke but his names james
ha ha ha ha!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Despite the long walk and lose of the nose/camera, it looks like it went well. Fantastic! Well done buddy!!!
Really great stuff! So glad I found your channel. Subscribed! I had a blast (pun intended) with retail kits as a kid and had some hilarious things happen like accidentally launching a 3 stage beast that broke a fin at launch and had a flight profile more like a cruise missle.........
Yup those graphs make sense to me because once the motor stops burning the drag force is causing deacceleration. That 1st stage motor was VERY powerful!
Great work! Keep at it!
SO AWESOME!!!
Congratulations on the successful mission! I look especially forward to your experiments with hybrid rockets. I read that paraffin wax and nitrogen oxide can have an Isp that almost rivals some liquid fuel /oxidiser combinations.
One thing to note from this is that things that you don't think can happen will. Even a bigger stronger camera tray or better attached nose is not a guarantee. Consider simple and safe backup is a great way to mitigate risk for critical (or at least high cost) failures (like loosing your camera). One example of how to mitigate this would be a tether line from the camera strap/tripod mount to the parachute anchor. Good luck on your next launch and stay safe.
Let's go been waiting for the vid! nice job
I just found your channel and I love what you're doing!
Apogee rock sim is just really awesome for any rocket builder
The rear section, including the fins remind me of the Estes Optima rocket I used to have as a kid.
This chanel is so underated keep going you are doing an awesome job at it!!!! I would love to see more of the technical design behind te scenes maybe a second smaller vlog channel or something, would definitly subscribe!
Finally the most awaited video ❤️rain rain finally went away 😉
With a FSI F-100-6 motor and a small rocket, we got mach1 at 900 feet altitude, and the small boom was herd at 1000 feet away from the pad, total cost $11 back in 1992. Also with a dual stage FSI e5-0 plus e5-6 and small rocket got to over 4000 feet, with 9 seconds of total burn, the good old days.
BRILLIANT
THE NEXT ENGINEER/SCIENTIST OF NASA, SPACEX👍
BEST OF LUCK
LOVE FROM INDIA 👍
Use an 80/20 (t-slot) aluminum extrusion for your launch rail. you can get them in 10ft lengths uncut fairly easily (and longer by order) and many of the commercial and 3d printable launch lugs are designed to fit this profile
That SOUND!
To hold nose cone and payload together cut pins used for sewing and use end with head about a 1/2" long
I do love sparky/ metal storm motors! Can’t wait till I turn 18 to get me some!
Wow!! most impressive! ... I am a Finn and like your coping with the three degrees too! :)
Funny you mentioned Finnish people. Watching the your previous video I actually giggled a bit in my head when you were so cold in a thick jacket, and to me it looked like weather I'd probably be comfortable in wearing a long sleeve t-shirt or something. =)) Greetings from Finland, thanks for all the great videos!
A lot of GPS devices won't update if they're traveling too fast or too high. It's hard to imagine your rocket was going too fast but it's something to keep in mind. I know high altitude balloon projects run into this limitation.
Thanks for sharing your projects with us. They're a lot of fun to watch.
You're one of the most underrated youtubers I've ever seen
all right ,, thats a badass rocket ! i wish i could make that too
This Guy Needs More Respect On Yt
Awesome video.... keep it up!
Beautiful
wow loved it
Pretty fantastic work, James!!! 😃
The RunCam Split 4 is a fantastic option, because it records in 4k! 😉
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
that rocket was amazing so cool hope your doing well
Skidmarks are my favourite CTI motors, did my level 1 cert on one!
To keep the parts together use plastic rivets where things must stay together and sheer pins to prevent nose cones from poping off
Great job and fun to watch. May wish to consider creating and utilizing a check list during launch preparation as the projects (and rockets) become larger and more complicated. In regards to the lost camera, the larger rocket engines are going to create some wicked G-forces both at launch and when decelerating at chute deployment, potentially disrupting pretty much everything glued together on a rocket. May want to try some static G-force or shock testing and or calculate the forces involved and apply them on ground tests of equipment. I would also recommend some eye or face protection at launches. Looking forward to more projects.
Well done.... !!!
Impressive takeoff!
A few thoughts regarding the nose cone, that you've probably already considered. If you screw or bolt it to the cardboard 2nd stage tube, you run the risk of the tube tearing if the payload sled shifts. The first thing I'd try is to either design the sled so it is long enough to completely fill the tube length or add some lightweight filler between the sled and the base of the nose cone. The second thing would be to make the base of the nosecone that slides into the tube deeper. That way you can anchor it to the tube farther back from the edge which should give it more strength. Maybe even use some fiberglass strapping tape and run a band of that around the tube where you're going to put the anchor screws.
.
Excellent launch even with the oops! Hopefully the camera is well marked and whoever finds it, if anyone does, gets in touch with you soon about it!
A board based on the Venus838FLPX chipset has GPS update rates of up to 20Hz and is very reasonably priced. Good luck with the builds 👍
