Yo dude, can you please tell me from where you got the FFFG Equivalent Muzzle Loading Propellant?

I used to fly Estes rockets, I bought one that was about 4 feet high and was said to reach 350ft, I thought I could do better. I designed a 1st stage that would hold 5 "D" Estes motors, two firing first, then two firing when the 1st ones burned out and finally igniting the last single rocket when the 2nd rockets burned out. While designing how I would get the rockets to chain ignite my friend calculated the dynamics of the flight. He came back the next week suggesting I should read his calculations before going any further. His calculations came to a max speed of Mach 1.2 and 10,000 feet high! I decided that needing CAA approval to fly a balsa wood and cardboard rocket probably wasn't a great idea and scrapped the project.

You are doing what we did as 14 & 15 year olds 35 years ago. We discovered the benefits of incorporating black powder into the chute discharge as well as the stage separations. We made a 15 foot rocket with over 30 motors in various stages. We didn't know if it was successful because it went so high we could no longer see it. After a few minutes we spotted the three big chutes indicating that everything went as planned. I miss those days. After incorporating some black powder into launch, stage separation and chute deployment we went to a 0% failure rate. Before that the success rate for 100% everything, was at about 85%.

for the rest of the world:- 35mm Clay 45mm Delay 108mm White mix 127mm Clay 254mm

Why are you not making sense?

This is amazing! In Australia we had model rockets but were slowly taken away with the permits that were required...

As I have been ramming my own engines for some time, I have a couple of tips on this. 1. Add a pinch (about 1/16 of a tsp for your quantity) of red iron oxide. It acts as a catalyst to enhance the burn rate and increase thrust. 2. Place a piece of masking tape over the bottom of the engine. It helps to contain the clay. Pull it off just before drilling the hole. 3. Use rubber o-rings on the wooden dowel to help control the fluff of the composition when ramming.

If you're making successive markings over a distance, you should always measure from the same point and not from the previous marking: the latter will cause mistakes to add up

If you drill a lengthwise hole in the ramming dowel, then put a small dowel in the center of the motor housing you can ram the fuel in and remove the small dowel to make a core burner engine, fill the core left by the small dowel with black powder. That way the whole core surface area burns at the same time. Much more power. Also water putty makes great rocket nozzles, and you can mold a power enhancing nozzle into it also.

What I like about this project is that it is not only very affordable, but easily scalable: You can use longer and/or wider PVC tubing with more propellent in it and/or add multiple tubes to your rocket to get even higher altitudes! I wonder how big of a tube you can use before the laws of physics make it impractical? (i.e. Can an 8 inch diameter PVC pipe contain the resulting internal pressure and would its added weight not be worth the effort?) Very nice! JW3HH

REST IN PEACE BROTHER 💙

hey, when I was in my late teens, I was trying to get my niece into science with rockets. But even though the "rocket starter switch" cord provided was long, and we launched it INSIDE my car, with the door open, I gust if wind blew it over just as it was launched and it came right at us!!! So I then learned how to make wireless firing systems to get more distance when launching. I've been able to make: -infrared firing system ( about 50ft ) -radio wave ( about 300ft ) -cell phone ( limitless, I guess... ) If you ever want to make a video on how to make wireless firing systems. I made 3 schematics, 1 for each type, and provided them to my local hobbyshop. And will gladly provide them to you. Ironically, the cheapest to make is the cellphone version...

Do you know if there is a way to get a slower, more efficient burn? I wanna make sure my rockets go as high as possible for as long as possible, and a burn of about 3 seconds doesn't sound good enough for maximum efficiency. Even if it's just a second or 2 longer, it'll probably make a major difference. I'd make the engine longer and increase the quantities for the white poder, but unfortunately I don't exactly know much about pyrotechnics and how it'll react.

@falconparty817

5 жыл бұрын

Just use the delay mix for the whole rocket with only one gram of baking soda instead of three grams,it seems the baking soda slows down the burn rate 👍

One thing you might consider doing would be using a piece of PVC with threads on both ends, and then you could make a proper nozzle that would use the fuel more efficiently and still be able to refuel quickly. Just be sure to use something highly temperature resistant on the lower set of threads so nothing fuses together when it gets hot. (I'd have to give some thought as to what to try, but teflon might be a good start.)

Sounds like fun. Thanks a lot. I will try this out some day.
