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. 👍

@@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.)

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

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!

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!

Nose cone too tight, and the shoulder was too small.

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.

Amazing brain you have. I would definitely invest in your future! Good luck

"Eject! EJECT!.... ah, bollocks!!" Been there before.

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

Very nice build and fly! I consider it a success regardless of parachute not deployed.

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.

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!

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

An intra-continental ballistic missile! Bravo!

Love the video, a few sergestions on the ignision (I dont do rocets, but have yoused plent of pyrotechnics): My first sergestion is to link all the starters in series not parallel (we fined that we get a more reliable response with that) OR My seconed sergestion would be to use some very lightweight wire (the stuff you inside small motors) so as the rocket takes off, it have a little longer to ignight the slower rockets.

Well done, all in all. The thing about the Big Bertha design is that it's so stable that you could probably just set it on it's fins and launch it without the tower.

That's a pretty neat construction technique. I can't imagine those thin paper walls would hold pressure very well when the ejection charges fire, though, and the ejection charges not firing all at once would complicate things further.

nice build on the rocket... I may not be the first to suggest this, but in order to solve your parachute deployment issue, you need to run a smaller tube up the center of the rocket called a shotgun tube. This tube directs the ejection charge from the center engine (which should have a slightly longer ejection delay) up to the parachute hatch/nose cone. Ensure that the shotgun tube is fairly well sealed and that your parachute hatch/nose cone is the only way the gasses can escape. Also, your ignition issue can be resolved using higher voltage. The setup that I use outputs around 53 volts (7x 9 volt batteries)

Very cool 😎 keep up the awesome work !! 👍

I am impressed you got 6 to fire. Very cool.

Great video! 1 recommendation, would have been to sand the nose cone so that it wasn't so tight. Can't wait for launch 2.0!!

You might want to try your hand at making your own rocket engines. I've never done it yet, but I will in a few years when my grandkids get older. Thanks for sharing.

i actualy love your videos ceep doing dude you gotta get big fast

I’ve been enjoying your series. I wouldn’t worry about the rocket nose coming off early. It can be loose. If the top comes off because the nose winds up sideways while at full speed you’re going to want the rocket slowed anyway. So a little sanding is all you need I think to fix your problems might want to tape nose in place until just before launch to keep it together during travel to site. You might also want to be sure your fuselage stays pretty airtight to allow charges to work.

That was awesome....well done

Super awesome video! i've literally been carrying out almost the exact same project as this during lockdown, excluding the 9 motor setup! also, i have a suggestion, could you use something to clamp the rocket down by the fins at the bottom of the launchpad? i.e with a rope or an RC solenoid to release them. Then maybe this could allow time for all engines to light, avoiding the first lit motors thrusting the rocket away from your ignition setup before all of the motors are lit

This is amazing, Easy sub bro!

Thank u so much! this is an awesome design!

Hi James, great video thanks. You may want to think about using quick match or ematches to ignite all the motors at the same time. Good luck with future flights. Cheers steve at Project Rocket

I m 50 years old and really enjoyed your prpject . I write you From Latín america ....excelent work

I would do some static testing of your parachute ejection. one thing to consider once you get that sorted is that not all of your motors will need that ejection charge. Maybe just the center one.

Maybe try using springs to assist with the contact to the motors by making the crocodile clips push upwards. That may give an extra chance to light up all the engines. And maybe a long quick-lighting fuse from the base to the top connecting to a separate ejection system could better work. Beautiful build and test, mate. Wonderful.

Really cool video i love this type of content on yt!

Nice video, can't wait to see more

Excellent! Maybe using a single larger reusable motor would be something to look into.
