Search for info on reliable ignition of motor clusters. There are plenty of documents online about that, but the simple rule - wire igniters in parallel and use a battery capable of providing very high current like a 12V lead-acid battery or 11.1V lipo.
Yup - high current is key. The igniters take time to heat up. There is some variation in this time, and if it's too far off the motors won't all ignite before the rocket launches. Increasing the current through the igniters makes them heat up faster so they can ideally all ignite before liftoff.
Good luck with the next attempt! BTW - I used to be a judge and general technical assistance on this...UK Youth Rocketry Challenge, so I do know what I'm talking about :)
subbed, I want to see this thing fly! Also, you can get fibreglass cable sheath and silicon insulated cable to help protect your wiring a little better. Keep up the good work young sir!
What is D problem? lol. You could try soldering three igniters on the inside to the positive terminal and make a ring around the engine cluster for the ground.
@@PookerlyRockets or you can add guides for the fins that are part of the launch platform. Would allow you to launch pretty much anywhere, without having to modify the rocket.
Nice video Did you ever try a suger/potassium nitriet motor you can make these yourself very cheap there are a bunch of video,s on youtube for that. Be safe and good luck
I'll give you a tip… The video Felt very boring because there was no success or even further attempts to achieve it… The video seems rushed viewers don't want to wait for video 2 this video Does not build any interest. You should take more time to get more clips show more flights make it more interesting if you want your channel to do anything… It takes effort but without it it shows
It’s a work in progress - this video provides an update. If we waited a lot longer to release _anything_ until the rocket actually worked it’s probable the audience wouldn’t have been remotely as interested.
Exactly, I appreciate your tip, but some viewers may be interested in the failure. Rockets take time and I want to document it in as much detail as I can. I felt that my viewers deserved a proper update, not just a few pictures on insta or something.
