How's the nose cone looking?
@@safetyinstructor A bit messed up. Some of the dowel went all the way through it with the impact!
I'm just wondering if you would be able to create an RC plane
That is perhaps rocket powered
That looks like a Starfleet ship
Love your stuff my man
Keep it up
how big is your 3d printer
and also where is the center of mass on a rocket
Hello from France, I'm 65 years old. I love young people like you with crazy ideas and so much energy to implement them. And you share your experiences with us, so keep going, you are role models!
Merci!
Love older people like you :)
We need less moaners and more positivity and mixing with the younger generation, we can all learn so much from each other 👍
Salut Philippe, peut-être comprends-tu l'anglais mieux que moi, qu'utilise-il pour faire décoller la fusée ? (ce qui ressemble à un feu d'artifice)
@@DrYver_ Bonjour, si j'en crois à 11:24 l'inscription sur la fusée, c'est du Thé !!!! (Tea Powered). Non, il ne donne pas de détails sur ses propulseurs. Il faudrait le lui demander. J'adore son énergie communicative!!
@@DrYver_ Ce sont des fusées qu'on peut trouver sur internet mais en France il faut un permis pour les acheter, Sinon tu peux utiliser du sucre et du nitrate de potassium pour créerun booster, tu peux chercher "Sugar Rocket" pour voir, il y a même un tuto en Français.
Attention par contre il faut faire ça avec beaucoup de précaution parce que c'est explosif.
So so cool man! Had to watch it again haha
Thanks Matt!
How are both my favourite youtubers here? LMAO
@@sajanavithanapathirana6761 me too, idk
Colab??
Hamada AG possibly coming soon
'Oh bollocks!' : -) Having been to a few rocketry events, you usually hear that, then raucous laughter. Either that, or 'Is it supposed to do that?' then people running away.
Hahaha
"the parachute didn't work..." these words have been said by everyone who has ever done much with model rockets.
I added to much rocket wadding and the gasses from the ejection charge had nowhere to go so the rocket exploded
Richard Lockwood. Yes but not by many paratroopers i guess.
LOL! My first rocket (powered by an E9-8) had an issue where the shock cord would burn up all the time. But I learned to place it properly and spray graphite on it. Never had a parachute problem again... until my sixth flight on my H-powered rocket where my shroud lines got caught and ripped off my rocket. RIP
When he mentioned that the nosecone was tight I knew that was foreshadowing of things to come... Though the volume of gas needed to pop it off even if it wasn't tight is probably way more than those motors can provide anyway.
@@antoinepalacios5158 Jesus your first rocket took an E motor? That's crazy man. I started on A-Cs. Recently built a mean machine so I'm now doing some larger setups.
This 70 yr old from Miami who played with the Estes rockets in his younger days really enjoyed this video. Love the design and congrats on that much success for launch #1. Looking forward to #2. Good luck!
lifehack: always put a trash bag inside a plane/rocket to collect debris :)
NASA never even knew about that hahaha
This is a beautiful example of 3d printing in a practical form. EVERYTHING doesn't have to be printed, and it's like some people don't like that or something. Not only does this look cooler, but it's closer to how it's actually done. Excellent work bro, just excellent.
From my experience with model rockets, I would think that you may have such a large volume of space inside the fuselage that the rockets' ejection charges are not effective. If that is the issue, there are a couple of paths you could go down to address it. It will just take a little of that impressive engineering that you regularly demonstrate. 👍
Concur. Also the nose cone should slip from the rocket body. You had a stage separation issue independent of cavity volume.
Volume, combined with the ejection charges not going off simultaneously is likely the issue.
In the vidéo of the test we can see the explosion charge of the two booster didn't explose at the same time. This can explain why they don't have the power to push the nose
@@pierre-antoine9757 Even if they all lit off simultaneously, I still think the volume may be an issue. Those motors are typically used on a rocket with a ~1" diameter and perhaps 12-24" length. Say a max of 75 cubic inch volume per motor.
Nine rockets then would have ~675 cu-in.
However, a 100mm rocket at an equivalent length would have more than 1200 cu-in volume. Twice as much as those motors - in a best case scenario - are typically used for.
This will be a surprisingly difficult challenge to solve.
(Please forgive me for my mixing of units. Can't help it.)
YES!!!!! you would be better off with a triple G80- 10 Aerotec engine set. with over 10 times the power and around 6 times the ejection charge deployment power.... that is if they all fire which in my case is a sure shot. I have never had an Aerotec dud.
Brilliant Project! Do avoid snug-fitting nose cones, though.
I shall be avoiding them 😂
I had to sand my Estes nosecone for a long time cause it wouldn’t even fit in the rocket
This has to be my favorite video James has uploaded, the project itself is fantastic but the production quality of this video was great!
If you continue to have problems with ignition timing you can use a hold-down launch pad to hold the rocket down for say half a second to make sure that everything is firing properly. Great video love your work
That was cool! Can't wait to see the next version! I love your projects!
12:13 That's why full size rockets are held to the pad until all motors are stable and producing equal thrust. A challenge with a burn time of a few seconds, but perhaps a 0.5 second hold might get you a stable enough burn before launch.
Awesome; I love your projects!
I never realized that, I always thought the thrust initially is very low so it doesn't rise much.
@@tarunkumaar625 Look at Space shuttle footage, you can see the clamps. Same with Saturn 5 rockets. Get 'em lit, all with similar thrust; let her go!
@@YellowPinkie I've never watched footage that carefully. I assume these clamps can also help I'm aborting the launch after ignition but before release or is that impossible?
Yep we used a clothes pin barely to a fin just a little grip that can slip under full thrust. When you cluster theres more murphy in the equation.
@@tarunkumaar625 depends, solid fuel rockets can't be shut down, liquid fueled ones can...
Hi this randomly showed up in my recommendation section, so I decided to watch it! I downloaded the files, modified some, made it twice as large, Printed some struts and made them connectable, made larger fins, and the payload was uccesful! I even recovered the fuselage that landed in a shallow lake! The payload was a space shuttle glider which I also recovered, it was designed with the ability to circle its launch area through a computer and some control surfaces! It was tough but it worked, I’m preparing for a new design for the fins though they didn’t work as expected, and the nose failed to land properly and the parachute didn’t catch air for some reason, probably folded it wrong. And the launch tower snapped from the slider being jammy, the rocket will be used again maybe in another week for redesigns and purchase of new parts. Overall thanks for your design, the rocket worked great!
@Stu Pididiot In his videos he sounds like 10, so yeah...
@PhallusYT Hey dude i know this is a bit late but i was planning on making a rocket using the same structure as this one, do you happen to know what the foam like material it is wrapped in is called?
@@rift9303 I need to find it, I’ll get back to you once I find it. I know it’s a durable and light foam.
@@stejer211 I’m 16
@@TakkudALT thanks dude :)
I'm getting some good "October Sky" vibes from this. Awesome. Keep it going!
When the brits start learning how to make rockets too. “scared German noises”
but then you hear "oh bollux" "Wir sind sicher"
They built an orbital class rocket 50 years ago it just they didn’t want to continue spending money on it so it was abandoned. They also have 200 nuclear intercontinental rockets
they’ve been able to
It was a joke 😐
@@jamesjenkins6784 Congreve rockets were silly though
"haven't revisted it since the space shuttle catastrophy last year"
haven't heard that one since 86'
2003?
@@Ahoogala really took someone 10 months to correct me... bravo i guess
Ive been working on a project quite similar to what you did here. One thing that I tried to do that I thought was pretty cool is I 3D printed fly away launch rail guides. So as soon as the buttons leave the rod the buttons fly off the rocket which makes it more aerodynamic as it travels through the air.
Nice. How do they hold latch and release?
That looked like a V2 coming back to earth! Good job!!!
This was the best DIY video I have ever seen, excellent job!!!!
Dang I love rockets! Though only 6 ignited, getting a cluster working is super hard! Big respect for how successfully you got it working! Can't wait to see more rockets on your channel
Cool rocket, couple of things: the launch buttons want one to be at the bottom and one on the CG. Also the sex noises followed by ‘eject eject’ were hilarious. 👍🏻
im sorry what
DUDE! That was amazing! I love how it clears the tower and then pitched down range like exactly when it should! Man please do more of this!!! Just gained a sub my friend good work
Man this is the first video of your channel that I have seen. And WOW! I’m very impressed! Keep up the great work bud!
That was very Kerbal from your rocket! Especially the landing. Just like on the computer! ;)
"I might have over-engineered the launch rail"
*Rail wobbles after grazing it*
Launch @ 9:58 - Thanks for the video! Great Work!!
Brilliant. Well done
Excellent design, for the next one I recommend you to print the cone in vase mode, it takes less than an hour and it doesn't weigh anything.
Good idea, I’ll try it
You got yourself a new subscriber. The type of channel I’ve been looking for
thank you for everything
you are the best engineer in youtube
The AIR hoodie is awesome! Almost as awesome as the editing, the drone shots, and that quarantine hair. :D
Quarantine hair is definitely what that style is called 😂
@@Project-Air it's a good look
Think about a piston style eject system, you have a large volume for a comparatively small charge. Also heavier cable to guarantee amps at the igniter.
Might have to try that yep
@@Project-Air Plus, if you watch your two-motor test again, you'll see that the ejector charges were not even close to synchronized. It was probably a series of small charges, instead of one big one. The solution is obvious: you need moar strutz!
James, GREAT VIDEO! I feel for ya about that landing. I also have a "parts bag" for picking up my R/C parts after most of my "famous" landings! Kudos to you brother for ALL the effort that you put into your projects! Keep UP your chin, great work and fantastic projects! Best regards, Dave
Great launch stand!
2:21
says: the iconic Enterprise
shows: a mockery of the iconic Enterprise
Could you put each croc clip on long lengths of wire so they still have time to ignite as it starts moving up the launch stand.
Also you could mount a dowel on the inside of the nose cone with a disc at the opposite end so it works like a piston to eject the nose cone
Edit: great production in this video too
I was also going to suggest longer wires on the croc clips.
Yes, tried that back in the '80's. It works.
Great video, great channel! That’s so cool you deserve more views
Awesome and good work man
I suggest you work on the parachute ejection system :) Damn that thing had a lot of power!
Nose cone too tight, and the shoulder was too small.
"Eject! EJECT!.... ah, bollocks!!" Been there before.
Really cool rocket! I'm happy to have found this channel!
I'm not from France, however I am 63 and also enjoy youthful enthusiasm!! I was born in the year of Sputnik and grew up with the Apollo program and am very happy to see rocket enthusiasts going for it today :-))
manual ejectors maybe?
just 3d printed holder with small servo in the head if its not to heavy or timed ejection if its to high for signal or maybe even an ejector with a C02 bottle
if you want i would like to help and send over some ejector ideas if the the rockets are not enough
It looked like a V2 coming down into London
Not cool my grandad survived the second world war
That rocket is a beast!!!
Awesome video. Very informative and just cool as ever. Well done.
8:42 is launch
TYSM
Taim Bachour welcome
Juju Playz welcome
I'm gonna make starship so thanks for the 3d file of the nosecone!
The files will be up asap!
me too. why dont we come up together and share ideas. i think it would be great.
@@samipkafle I cancelled my idea after reading the countries law on fireworks and model rockets
@@hashy4940 sorry to hear that. would love if you still like to share your ideas with me.
@@samipkafle I don't actually have ideas
I love how the smoke blew right at him, then when he walked forward, the smoke just turned around and just followed him 🤣
That was some of the best slow-mo footage I've seen on UA-cam!
Yeah, Slo Mo guys are terrible!
Nice Flight! the combination of the rocket and the launch pad has a really cool retro aesthetic! Cluster rockets are always difficult with ignition but you still got a good flight out of it! hope to see more rocket related content from you!!!! ;)
also if you need some thrust vector control for your next attempt at the space-shuttle let us know ;P
I might be in touch!
Im a 14 year old whos trying to learn physics
Go for it!
I am12
Easier to learn when your older because you will have better knowledge of the basics that’s why it’s taught like that
This was really cool! Thanks for doing and sharing. Gonna use nichrome or kanthal for ignition. Did a test. Works great.
Nice build. Definitely subscribing
I like how he said “i want to make this easy to build for everyone, so i made the parts 3d printed” yes because everyone has a 3d printer
Good 3D printers are not that expensive anymore, and there are services that you can have 3D print for you. a $300 printer will get you decent quality, certainly good enough for this project in particular.
Oh really? Well thats good to know
@@rocketchildv4213 there is a good 200 3D printer too. ender 3
10:25 - Reminds me of August 6th 1945, Hiroshima.
More like "Every day of WW2"
Got your "hight powered rocket plane " video in recommendation, now I've been watching your videos for 3 hours continuously. You're doing good work mate.
That was awesome....well done
The rocket gets launched at 10:00
Nobody dare say first
It's annoying
You know the rules and so do I
Bruh
Very nice build and fly! I consider it a success regardless of parachute not deployed.
Nice video, can't wait to see more
Loved this!
Great video!
Very cool 😎 keep up the awesome work !! 👍
Great video really enjoyed it Thank you so much for making it.
An intra-continental ballistic missile! Bravo!
Very cool. Keep it up
I absolutely love your designs. So clean and professional looking. Good luck on the next rocket, the launch looked awesome!
Thanks!
This flight reminded me of a V2 test flight where the engine malfunction caused the missile to take a digger. You may solve the chute ejection problem, but balancing the thrust before liftoff with off-the-shelf engines may be a bit of a challenge. It is a lot easier with liquid fuel as one can monitor and ramp up the engines. In fact the V2 had a engine stabilization step in its launch procedure. You might have to very selective on your engines (e.g. weigh them) and igniters being rich and matched. Lots of fun. Best of luck.
Really cool video! Parachutes are tough, that's for sure. Good luck on the next test!
Thank u so much! this is an awesome design!
Used to build and launch rockets years ago, and I found that if I cut a hole in the center of the parachute (such as real parachutes have) the rocket didn't get carried away as far, it allowed a more straight descent without all the pendulum swinging motion. It didn't lose any efficiency due to that hole, it just allowed the air in the parachute to exit the canopy without inducing the swinging.
I love your channel!
Great job
Great video
Awesome mate I love rockets 🤘🖤
This channel is lowkey underrated
Amazing brain you have. I would definitely invest in your future! Good luck
I am impressed you got 6 to fire. Very cool.
Awesome!!!
I m 50 years old and really enjoyed your prpject . I write you From Latín america ....excelent work
Very COOL!
You’re doing a good job with your channel James! I love rocketry as well, currently certified level 2 with the Tripoli rocket association. Just watched your kerbal video too. Not sure if you have any rocket flight simulator software but it can really help with these sized rockets. Open rocket is free or rocksim is better but not free. Also, your cluster rocket setup is probably fine, just need more amps (bigger battery) to make sure all the igniters go quickly. Sometimes I add a tiny bit of black powder in the nozzle and hot glue it shut. Works well. Keep up the good work brother!
Good job. I had a couple of ideas for you, but I see there are even better ones in the comments already. I'm sure your next one will work flawlessly.
Very Good Experiement bro ❤❤❤
I like this guy!! a lot of amazing projects!! Greetings from Brazil
Really cool video
STAR TREK IS MY LIFE. I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Loving the silage clamp rocket test range
Agree below. Very cool.
Good work bro
Really cool video i love this type of content on yt!
Tip:
Make a hole in the nose cone
mix: -75% potassium nitrate
-15% charcoal
10% powdered sulfur
fill up the nose cone with the newly made old style gunpowder
put a nail with spike facing inside of nose cone in hole.
BE VERY CAREFUL AND GET FAR AWAY. PUT THE NAIL JUST BEFORE LAUNCH.
you essentially have an unguided missile.
Nice Lawn Dart!
That was....*awesome*
This is amazing, Easy sub bro!
Wow superb bro
