We live on the 18th floor of our apartment building, and have been dropping them with dollar bills attached for the homeless people. It's a blast, and a great way to give. They think it's coming from God !
I am a very late comer to UA-cam so have to catch up somewhat. A hint regarding the string. If you find the end of the string inside the hole in the center you can pull the string out and the ball should sit on the table. Thanks for the video.
thanks very much , i try to buy good one for my RC helicopter for emergency in sky couldn't find one . But now you showed me how to make , you saved my money my time also my choice quality i can pike up ,,,, thanks again
A word of warning. A 1/2 inch (13mm) hole made in the center with a string glued round the hole will give stability to the parachute. Air must not billow from the skirt too much, or the chute will become unstable. The hole must be 1/2000 the size of the canopy.
+WheelieWillyYow Actually, I found out that we were supposed to do it in class, so I had to do that. This week is when we make it at home, I think I'm ready.
lol, round parachutes aren't all that fun. You launch your rocket and it drifts, and drifts, and drifts some more then gets stuck in a tree half a mile away. If you just take your square piece of plastic and cut about 2" off one edge so that it is rectangular, then cut 6 strings, the first laying along the short axis of the chute splitting it in half, one string on each end, split the two half with two more strings, and the 6th string goes down the middle length wise. Dab the edges of the plastic with glue and add a couple drops in the middle so the strings don't get tangled. Pull all the strings on the left side together and knot them at the desired length, then pull all the left strings together and knot them a tiny bit shorter. Tie each set to your shock cord and the rocket will come down in a spiral, if there is no wind it will land within a few feet of the launch pad just about every time.
can u make this a little easier please seems to complicated.not saying i don`t like it cause i do but can that carry a kid?cause that is what im looking for make a viseo for that please!!!!!!:)
Wow, some 60 ish years ago, I used to have a toy like that with a Plastic Paratrooper attached. Used to throw it in the air and watch my toy soldier float back down to earth. Now you got me thinking, how large a diameter would be necessary to attach a GoPro, throw it in the air and get some great shots as it floats back to earth - could be a poor man's Drone - what do you reckon?
I did it a while back. Unfortunately, I had a disaster before I worked out the kinks. I launched my old Hero 5 with a water rocket. The parachute didn't deploy. That wasn't the main problem, though. The main problem was that it landed on our patio. I think it would have been fine if it had landed in the soft meadow. At any rate, I think I solved the problem by adding a small secondary chute to pull out the primary chute. It worked every time after that. Even when wet.
@@MisterStapleton Haha, you sound like the Mad Professor. Anyway, please upload your parachute exploits as even if it fails, it will get views. My GoPro are both 5/6, never felt a need to upgrade them to be honest. Can put them in their spong wind noise reduction covers to provide a little more 'bounce' protection.

thx helped me Now im workig on a parachute to hold 80 pounds
Super
Thanks for sharing, to make toys for the kids
Cut a small spill hole in the center of the canopy to prevent it from oscillating when floating back to earth.
thats good but can make the decent faster!
great work for my school work thanks........
It is cool
super!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you published on my birthday
Hi Mr. Stapleton, I was in your class at Kipp Baltimore!
Have an engineering class project/competition to see who can make the longest falling parachute. This is pretty helpful.
Did you win ?
+WheelieWillyYow Actually, I found out that we were supposed to do it in class, so I had to do that. This week is when we make it at home, I think I'm ready.
+Titus Caesar yo am doing the same b!
thanks that was very helpful, and it actually worked, thanks
nice.....
Thank you, a parachute simple
that was helpful thx
ausome video
thank you it is really cool!!! We are going to make this for our physics assignment
It worked! THANKS!

If there is no wind the round one would land close too.... duh
Helpful.
Thanks👍
Thank you
Thank u so much!!!
Can you video yourself using it!?
Cheers, was a top vid!
cool
omaigad mile awal
WOW!!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you should use a plate to trace around to make the circle
Buagus poll
thx
Oooooowww
Yo hey hi man nice vid you found here.
Thx
First world country toy paracute
HEY GUYS DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG İTS FLY
😍
you should make a capsule where oxygen flows in and breaks the capsule and releases the paruchute
send me a tweet @ eli900 to help make the parachute for my school work thanks....
I'm trying thius for my science ckass exoeriment I hooe it gies well
learn how to spell...
meah meah lol i hooe u learn how to speelelel
Mee to mean meah
penisaur i choose you *OW IT BURNS!!!*
can u make this a little easier please seems to complicated.not saying i don`t like it cause i do but can that carry a kid?cause that is what im looking for make a viseo for that please!!!!!!:)
