What is the diameter of the coring rod? Thank you!

@TheRocketeer Год назад

It is a 1/4 aluminum rod that is listed in the supplies. I should have mentioned it in the video, thanks!! 1/4" aluminum rod, 12" long: amzn.to/3yTflcF

Thanks for the shout-out Chuck! Super appreciate it !!! It's a cute one... Looking forward to seeing what you can launch with it.

@Trinita1970 Год назад

Wonderful video! Everything is perfectly explained 👌 The American PVC pipes seem very solid because here in Europe all those that I tried (32mm and 40 mm) do not resist the pressure.

@TheRocketeer Год назад

In the States we also have schedule 80 pipe that is a lot thicker. If schedule 80 is available you could use that or try a different type of pipe like one used for a drain line. There is a balance between time, temperature and pipe strength. Keep the burn time short so the PVC does not have time to weaken from the heat. You could also try a thicker casting tube for the grains. I hope that helps.

@XplosionNo1 Год назад

Dont use PVC... Get some wood glue and paper... Even stronger because it is not soft as it heats up....

@masoncharvat5196 Год назад

I’ve made 3 of these and they have truly impressive performance for their size!

@TheRocketeer Год назад

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I have already filmed an upcoming project using one of the motors.

@LG-hr5cv Год назад

Thank you for the great video. Do you have recommendations for a timed delay to discharge the parachute?

@TheRocketeer Год назад

If you know how to solder the Eggtimer Apogee Deployment Controller is inexpensive. eggtimerrocketry.com/home/altimeters-av-bay/ The Perfect Flight miniTimer 4 www.perfectflitedirect.com/minitimer4/ Pet2+ even timer www.missileworks.com/store#!/PET2-Event-Timer/c/5760486 There may be other timers on the market. For a little more money you can get an altimeter that senses apogee and will fire the charge. This altimeter is the one I use for dual deployment. altusmetrum.org/EasyMini/

@earth1283 Месяц назад

I don't understand how to add a delay mix.

@TheRocketeer 29 дней назад

I have had difficulty making a reliable delay. I suggest electronic delay, a timer, or tumble recovery if possible.

What size of pvc would you need to make a single use H motor? i am wanting to make a H size for a LOC-IV style rocket i built. thanks for all the help:)

@TheRocketeer Год назад

A 1.25" pvc pipe would work the best with sorbitol for fuel, check this out www.nakka-rocketry.net/pvcmot4.html Good luck and let me know how it goes.

@LT72884 Год назад

@@TheRocketeer ok, i can try that out. Im guessing probably about 14 inches in length. Thanks for the link

My rocket candy fuel doesn't solidify even after hours I don't know why this happen

@CSN777 Год назад

About 1month ago I was trying to make rocket candy fuel. I mixed 35g of sugar with 75g of kno3 while I was melting the. Mixture it suddenly caught off in fire

@TheRocketeer Год назад

You may need a mentor to help make fuel. It should never catch on fire unless overheated and even that would take a lot with many warning signs.

@vedantpatel3795 Месяц назад

Great Video! is there any alternative to gorilla purple prima glue.

@TheRocketeer Месяц назад

Yes, any PVC glue will work. Do not use epoxy!

@WarbirdPylonRacer 10 месяцев назад

Hi Chuck. Can you tell me what ratios you've had success with building alu and mag motors? Thanks.

@TheRocketeer 10 месяцев назад

I have used up to 15% aluminum and that gives me a wild flame. The fuel is difficult to light and tends to run at very high pressure. For magnesium, I have run up to 5% and it seems to work well but does not have the wild tale. I think magnalium would work great at around 10% but I have not had a chance to test it. I use a doped fuel. In other words, I run the standard 65/35 ratio and add the metals on top of that. Be careful with magnesium and magnalium, the metal is highly reactive and has not been tested thoroughly. If you run tests with metals please let me know what you discover and use great caution while mixing, casting, and testing!

@WarbirdPylonRacer 10 месяцев назад

@@TheRocketeer Thank you Sir. I sure will. I might even start a channel on the subject so others can find a safe mid power motor. My plan is to build a motor with delay and ejection charge. I know some already exist but I kinda want to take it to the next level. Safety is a huge factor for me. Thanks again for sharing your experiences. Will stay in touch.

what is the maximum length we can expand the motor to?

@TheRocketeer 10 месяцев назад

I have found the 6-inch motor to be reliable, a longer motor could add more risk. This is another link for the 6" motor - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ckzPWl7Wsd4.html I have made a larger 1 inch PVC x 8" version motor here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kU-fh2QyO1U.html Go to the video tab on my home page and you will find more videos on the subject.

Can i use normal sugar ?

@TheRocketeer 5 месяцев назад

You can but I strongly advise against it.

@bogey19018 Год назад

You have to ignite it from the top?

@TheRocketeer Год назад

Sugar rocket motors are core burning, push the ematch all the way to the top.

@hugostiglitz4452 Год назад

@2:00 couldnt you just use a pfte (teflon) rod since its non stick regardless and can handle the temps of the sugar propellant

@TheRocketeer Год назад

Yes, PTFE is a great material to use for this purpose and does not transmit as much heat. I use acetal (Delrin) for 54mm grains. Thanks for your comment!

@LT72884 Год назад

another question haha. This motor you made in this video is equivalent to what size? have you had any issues with PVC exploding? thanks.

@TheRocketeer Год назад

Yes, any motor can explode. I have made plenty of PVC motors that performed well and did not cato but some did. I would say it is between an E-F.

@LT72884 Год назад

@@TheRocketeer should i use the grey colored pvc since it more breaks and shatters into larger pieces? Thanks for your replies and help. I am really enjoying these videos

What's the maximum weight of the rocket this motor can lift

@TheRocketeer Год назад

With a 3/16 fender washer it lifted a 13oz (368g) spool to about 100' and then blew up. The raining cardboard was a fun event. I used a 1/4 fender washer in this motor so it will probably lift a little bit less. Keep in mind a spool is not very aerodynamic at all. You can see the video posted on my site. I would have to say it packs a punch for its size.

@donnieporter7890 Год назад

I dont think the comment about if u dont endorse or u assuming responsibility of building these motors is fair u made it very clear on the dangers and u cannot control what other people do. I sucks that people have to be that way. Thanks for the video
