Hello Don how are you? really well done tutorial, believe me I know how long it takes to shoot something like this and making sure you remember to shoot all the segments. the on rocket camera was valuable. great work.

I put a mini parachute on my nose cone, I found I could see it from the air! Good video though!

Hello! Im doing a similar project for school and I would like you to answer my questions: What altitude did it reach? Where did you buy that tube and the fins? Are there any alternatives to the device used to deploy the parachute? Thank you in advance.

@StratoFins

8 ай бұрын

Altitudes usually range between 205 - 350 ft. depending on weight of the rocket, PSI, and amount of water (wind can play a factor as well). We sell the StratoRocket (FTC tube) on our website stratofins.com/stratorocket-48-inch-3d-print-ftc-rocket/ along with a host of other water rocket related items from beginner to advanced. As you can see in the parachute video there are methods for deploying the parachute without the Chute Release, although the latter is more reliable. Also, the real benefit of the Chute Release is deploying at a lower altitude 100 - 200 ft. to minimize drifting off the field while under parachute descent.

is the parachute circular shaped? what shape is that if i wanna make my own?

@StratoFins

It is actually an octagon, 8 sided with 4 looping shroud lines that attach at these 8 points. Circular would also work, just space the shroud line attachments evenly.

for the ftc do you need the rail system

@StratoFins

3 жыл бұрын

No, the FTC rocket will work fine without the rail system as you can see in any of the promo videos that demo the Versatility of our StratoLauncher IV, Deluxe and Ultimate models. In fact the FTC will work better than a 2 liter does without the rail system. The rail system does help with straighter flights especially if there is any wind, but it is not required with the FTC rocket. Also, given that the FTC is much narrower it is not affected by a higher volume of water since it is not swirling around inside before exiting as it is with a 2 liter bottle rocket, which is why the rail system is not as important.

Where do you attach your camera? And can I have your camera name?

@StratoFins

2 жыл бұрын

The camera is attached to the bottle about 1/3 up depending on your camera’s angle of view. Over the years I have used various key chain type cameras that are very small, but the best one available now is the Mobius Mini version 2. You can get a 5% discount on their website to bring it close to $75.00 and shipping may be free. You may find this on Amazon or elsewhere, but I would not recommend buying it anywhere else other than their website. There are some knock off versions out there that are not as good. Use outdoor two-sided tape (gray tape with red backing) from Lowe's or Home Depot to attach the camera to the bottle and balance the opposite side with metal washers or coins. Weigh whatever camera you use and weigh out an equal amount in washers or coins to attach to the opposite side of the bottle in the same location. You definitely want to use a parachute if you are launching a camera so that it returns in one piece.

How long did your bottle rocket stay up in the air

@StratoFins

Жыл бұрын

I apologize for the delayed response. Flight duration varies a lot based on weight and shape of the rocket, whether under chute or not as well as the PSI employed. A typical 2-liter soda bottle rocket with a parachute and pressurized to 120 PSI will have a flight duration of about 22 seconds give or take a second.

@@GoldAxoMC You might squeeze out 30 sec. of flight duration if you keep the rocket as light as possible so it hangs longer under chute. Weight is needed in the nosecone for launch, but when the nosecone comes down separately that will reduce rocket weight. One problem with a long hang time though is drifting off the field. Ideally, you want to deploy a chute at lower altitude so the rocket doesn't drift off the field if there is any wind.

How did u ignite the water rocket at 6:21 ?

@StratoFins

3 жыл бұрын

The FTC rocket works the same way a 1 or 2 liter rocket does. Fill with water (it can take more water since it is narrow), pressurize with air, and squeeze the release lever.

How do you determine the length of the rope? How it changes according to the rate of the rocket.

@StratoFins

3 жыл бұрын

The StratoChute that we sell is a 24" parachute canopy with 24" shroud lines. The lines are a loop about 48" and when joined at the rocket end up being 2 lines 24" long. This length works perfectly for 2-liter bottles to extend all the way down the sides to loop over the fins and be joined at the top leaving about 9 - 10" in actual shroud line length. For FTC rockets the shroud lines end up being close to 24" in length since the attach at the top or middle section depending on the rocket design. If you want shorter lines one can always tie them off with a loop or slip knot and attach a cable tie above those knots. I hope this helps and makes sense.

Is it okay if your parachute has 6 strings in them?

@StratoFins

Жыл бұрын

Yes, either 6 strings or 8 strings will work fin. If attaching to fins just double up on one of them. Or you can attach with a larger 8" cable tie around the neck of the bottle instead of looping over the fins. This way either number of strings will work fine. They all bundle up at the top anyway.
