@@nedgorski - Oh yes, I know. I spent many MANY hours with him pounding rockets, making quick match, rice hulled stars, etc. I called him my brother from another mother. I was married to Dan and the first 5 years of that marriage was spent between the 3 of us making tooling and rockets. LOL I have some handwritten formulas of his on paper that mean nothing to me but I am sure you would appreciate. I would send them to you via US postal service, if you would like. Just let me know. Thank you & have a great day!😁
I love seeing your videos testing fireworks I use to do it all the time I be testing in the day time but the neibours didn't like it and reported me so I just do my testing on the night now 😂 but keep up the hard work love how you put your fireworks together and the quality ❤ ❤
I've simulated the flight using the Acme Rocket Test software, and view the heading displays visually, knowing what an optimum 6" shell display height looks like.
it's beautiful. how do i get the first rocket effect? are the stars rolled or pressed? can I hot glue them to the paper hemisphere around the perimeter? is this the right way? it's beautifully smytry. Thank you :-)
Lovely stuff as usual. Is the blackmatch setup that way to ensure simultaneous ignition of both motors?? I've had some timing issues in my own dual-rocket experiments, this could be the solution...
I know absolutely nothing about this. My guess is it wouldn't get off the ground, but what if you sequence the 2 motors where one fires after the other is almost done? Does more burn time mean more lift or is it all just thrust to weight ratio?
It wouldn't get far off the ground that way, Wayne. It requires the joint thrust from both motors burning simultaneously to get up to speed in that first 0.6 seconds.
Can anyone give me advice on where to go or who to meet to be able to learn the cradt of building rockets 🚀 and ball or cylinder shells? Im around the Chicago, Illinois area. I love the artistry and craft involved in the hobby.
Why do you need that? I don't understand the point of a double motor. Just because you can or why would you build something like that? It's still cool though.
I am surprised that it appears that both motors are working in sync. I thought maybe one would "pull or push" the trajectory off course enough that it would be noticed.
