Project Inspired By:
My good friend Ritchie Kinmont from www.sonicdad.com, and a design collaboration we did together for the Randomizer Rocket project (bit.ly/IBRandom...)
Project History & More Info:
If you make these parachutes, you'll be able to use them with Rockets, Sky Balls, or even action figure toys as well.
I was amazed to see that 8 parachutes could be made from 1 dollar-store table cover, effectively making them less than $0.15 each.
My good friend Ritchie Kinmont has a business, as well as a RUclips channel, called Sonic Dad ( / sonicdaddotcom ) and has some really great projects.
We collaborated in the past, on the Micro X-bow video (bit.ly/MicroXBow), and when it came time for me to design a rocket for my sugar motors, I went back to Ritchie so we could put our heads together and see what we could come up with.
We made a really awesome rocket, he called the "Randomizer", and Ritchie used one of the parachutes he made in a previous project (bit.ly/IBSonicP..., as the parachute for the rocket, and it was perfect!
I made a few small modifications to the parachute design, and developed it into a project video for the rocket building series, with approval from Ritchie.
These parachutes can serve multiple purposes, from rockets, to sky balls, to action figures, and more.
I found some techniques to manufacture the parachutes so they can be produced quite quickly, and they typically take me about 5 minutes each, once I get in the groove.
For these parachutes I used scotch-tape, like Ritchie did in his project, however after playing with them extensively, this seems to be the most common point of failure. In the future I'll probably try using colored electrical tape, a bit of duck-tape, or another flexible rubber tape with more adhesion for better durability.
Either way, they are super easy to fix if they come apart. All you have to do is tape them back together! :)
Have fun!

Hello world. As promised, here is the tutorial on how to make the table-cover parachutes I got for free from the Sonic Dad website. You can have it as well (www.sonicdad.com/partners/thekingofrandom2/). I just have a couple more videos I'm finishing up for the rocket building series, like a new version of sugar motors, how to make fire resistant wadding to protect the parachutes, as well as the tutorial on how to build the rockets. So expect to see those coming soon. :D
Hey
Can you please do more liquid nitrogen project? '-'
i love you

+Alpat Cjsjn Haha, wow, thanks. I love you back
I miss this guy... rest in peace
Anybody else rewatching Grant's videos in remembrance?
me!!!
Yes
yes
I am

Pro tip : if you have no table cloth cut a garbage bag in half it is slightly smaller but will work with the randomizer rocket
why tf this has no replys anyways thanks dude
I made these with a large group of school kids yesterday and they loved them, they played with them most of the day and i was on the school roof most of the day
I did have to change the way they make them for the kids but worked out the same, thanks for the idea.
You were always the best at doing things like this rest in peace

Hi Mr. Thompson! It would be really cool if you replied. :)

Hi Grant,
Videos are Great. I am making a rocket similar to the randomizer with my 8th grade son. The randomizer turned out to be undoable with materials available in Germany. With imagination we are making something close. We are trying to make the parachutes now. Again we cannot get the table cloths you use, which has caused us some trouble. In order to help those outside of the US, it would be cool if you could always give the exact measurements of the materials you are using. This then makes it possible to find substitutes much more easy and make less mistakes. For example, we are using a poncho instead of the table cloths for our chutes. In the video we did not catch that you were making the cuts on 2 layers of the table cloths until using the technique on our single layer poncho to find that we did not get a cross, but only a half of one 😂 . Anyway, thanks for making the videos. We are having a lot of fun.
My parachute worked way to well. The wind took it like 1/2 mile away from the launch site and me and my friends looked for it for like 20 muintes. But it was worth it because the parachute worked.
Lol
I just made an 8.5 inch round parachute for a small model rocket that I built with a kit. It came with a streamer but I wanted a parachute. I can't wait to try it out.
Is Scotch tape really strong enough for these parachutes? That's rather surprising.
+Joe Vasicek Yes it works for about 50-100 launches before the tape starts having trouble. It is the most common point of failure though, so perhaps electrical tape or a tape with stronger adhesive would increase their longevity. Duck Tape would do it for sure. It's an open source idea, so it's open to suggestions :)
+Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" Duct tape is magic and should be worshipped ;)
+Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" did you launch it 50-100 times? Or is that how you judge it after launching it a couple time? Other than that, awesome video :D
+Gentleman²³ Many more times than that.
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" :D
I made this parachute today for my homemade rocket. It looks great, and seems to work well on the ground! Thanks for the great video
Awesome tutorial Grant! I really like your folding and cutting technique - much faster than cutting out each corner of the canopy. Well done! -Ritchie
+SonicDadDotCom Thanks Ritchie, I'm glad to hear it's SonicDad approved :)
+Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" make another random collaboration like the
party one which included 10 youtubers
SonicDadDotCom the origami doesn’t work
Ok lemme make a life sized version of this
have fun
RIP
I recommend not using scotch tape
@@legokid-_-6902 I almost read crotch tape
@@noscope1244 omfg
now i can jump off from a 10 story building safely and never be late to work.
He deserves the dad of the year award
Hey grant thanks for the design I had a project at school which I had to make a parachute out of bakers paper I remembered your design and didn't .you really saved my bacon to day thank you and keep doing what your doing
Very cool.
Oh hey
Cool! I'll try it tomorrow when I go skydiving! Thanks Grant! XD
Please no
+videoshack12351 haha it's just a joke, but if I was serious, you would have just saved my life lol. Mad props bro 😂
+Azaan Eyaad lol
Lol
I remember when when this video was released. I’m now watching it again 8 years later to make skyballs with my daughter
I swear I live near you, Im always hearing explosions and stuff. Haha. Love your videos and I love that you dont get messed with by CSPD.
My brain can't handle this guy's videos....
I'm glad we live in a world where 1-unit-of-money-store tablecloths are all folded and packed the same way :P Otherwise your instructions would only match your particular table cloth manufacturer from your dollar store
+Cooking With Cows Yup.
Awesome, I'll have to use these for my mini rockets! Thnx Mr. Random!
I just built it and it actually works.It is so fun. I added a vitamin bottle so it can carry things.
I hope to see your rocket parachute release system in a later video.
I love the simplicity of this setup and yet it is durable. Well done.
He's got the voice of an airline pilot.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Yes, now I can finally make a parachute for the skyballz I made!
Said no Grant Thompson viewer ever
Hissssssssssasss reptilian brotherhood where are you?
+Domantas Satkauskas hisssssssss
+Domantas Satkauskas hssss
Itsssssssssssssss the brotherhood
Hissssss
i dont get it
I watch his videos in remembrance and it’s hard for me to watch videos about parachutes 😫 R.I.P my bro
Rest In Peace Member
great video, i made the sky balz and the parachute
it was really fun
I’m trying to make my own homemade rocket I needed a parachute this will really help!
We will all remember you hope fully your in a better place
If you don’t have the elastic I found using the thicker rubber bands work just as well
Zach TNT thank you
I was looking for a comment like this
i love every single project he makes
And you always make quick clips before the actual vid, which gives you 10 days to make a vid. Seriously? Your vids are amazing but please make them more often and give up on the quick clips. Anyone Agree? Pls thumbs up.
loving the flower tape dispenser
It's good that you changed the music, the last backround music was driving me crazy.
Hey man, if you manage to read this, I just want you to know that I love your Vids! Rock On! KingofRandom!
He makes it look really easy
Grant, can you please convert inches into the metric system because I am 8 years old and I only now the metric system,try doing it in all your projects when you use inches and I enjoy a lot your videos
Awesome, I was startled by the test flight of the rocket and how the parachute deployed
admit it, we watch the videos, but we dont make the things
I do some stuff
I did his slime and mousetrap gun!
I did his laser blowgun, skyblaster slingshot and gummy candies. The slingshot one was my favourite.
+HykzMC I did his aluminum furnace, arc welder, arc furnace, spot welder, gummie candies, and oxy-hydrogen generator.
My favorite was the blowgun.
Great work bro 😳
It's the simplest way u have made
Still missing you buddy.
AAAA TYSM this helped so much for science!!!!!!! YOU SAVED MY GRADE
simply awesome like always . This ninja ( Grant ) is simply good at every thing . But i am thinking when he is going to make a video on randomiser i am dying to to make it . But any way hats off to you man hats off.....
Rip hope you fly high like your parachute
how did you manage to get the parachutes to launch mid air in the rocket? please answer asap.
Great video Grant! A real money saver. Gotta love those dollar stores, especially the 99c only stores. :-)
What if you mash up all the parachutes together to make a large one? Would I finally be able to skydive off the roof of my house or will it be too much?
Amazing videos but I've noticed recently everyone has gone to 60fps can we expect that in future videos! Amazing work as always!!!
Would this work for a small tortoise?
tbh that's one cute looking tape 😀 I might try to make these 😄
Hey Grant,
love your vids,
Just wondering if any type of tablecloth will work out whether it has to be a certain type of material.
Thanks,
Jake
7 year late reply, any table cloth will work fine as long as its light weight and thin
I'm 8 years old and I made sky balls their super cool!
Omg! Your tape is so cute!
THAT IS AWSOME !!!!!!
ok, so the question is would have a greater longevity of the chutes by using a reinforced packing tape instead of conventional scotch tape, or do you find the chute material does not last that long to make using such tape "necessary "?
rest in peace sir
finally waited so long
Very nice, thanks. For my next project is perfect!
Awesome! Made it today with your directions. Worked exactly how you said it would work Grant Thompson - "The King of Random"
How do you tell which side is which/ (At the start with the (smooth) and (loose)
Hello Mr. Thompson,
I have seen almost all of your videos but I was wondering if there was a simpler way to do this instead of measuring and all. Also I was wondering if we could get the same results with plastic bag.
Thanks
i would use a 16 line circular parachute for the rockets, but only because i use circulars for an rc cargo drop.
I don't know why I watch these tutorials it's not like I'm ever going to even try to make theses
i used to make parashutes prom trash bag, but we had around 16 lines on it
Matts Wife - We need weapons to protect us honey go buy a gun! Matt - Nah I'll just make some.
I actually made a parachute with a dollar store shower curtain before a couple of years ago for a small school project :3 I had no crack in the egg in the basket after dropping it from like 15feet which meant 100% HURRAH!
Two swivels used in that configuration can't swivel. I recommend using one swivel (one or two sizes larger).
I have just made a blowgun and thanks for the tutorial.
I want this guy during the zombie appocalypse
you do a bit with silicon molding, and i was wondering if you could make a tutorial on how to make food safe silicon with household materials, or is that impossible?
i made a sky ball with a plastic bag and it worked just as well
How do you eject that parachute from the tip of the rocket? That is the missing part for me, how do I make it open when the rocket reaches its top alltitude? Thank you in advance
So, what triggers the parachute to deploy from the tip of the rocket?
You should make a video on how to make different colored smoke bombs/flares please
Hey grant,
I was wondering, are you planning to make an explosive project anytime soon?
Love the videos by the way, keep it up!
+Dan schitt Yes I've got one made, and it's scheduled for release after the rocket series is completed.
Use straight quotes
As a kid, I attached Luke Skywalker to a parachute and launched him in a rocket. He was lost forever in a large tree :
this video is so good and cool
You should do a video on how to make a rock crusher for ore and a hotter smelter
Tape is love tape is life
R.i.p bro
Dude you are super super awesome how do you do this stuff me and my dad do your projects all the time they look like yours but we mess up all the time I wish I could meet you your awesome
This is so cool good video keep up the great work
If we had rubber table clothes would it catch the air the same?
I wanted to make a sky ball but didn’t have most the things I did the parachute with a thick plastic bag it worked except when he had a yellow cross I had half the yellow cross so i had to do it again and ducts or the two half’s together
How does the parachute activate on rockets?
I did this a 12 years old making frog/toad parachutes
I've seen lots of your videos and I liked them but I also liked the program you use to edit these videos. Could you please tell me which program is this?
This is good for drops or roc Helios if you put enough of them if they run out of battery
Drones
RC
Nice tape dispenser
How does the parachute release though. You put it in the rocket and then put the cap over it. What mechanism make the parachute come out at the right time
after launching the rocket how do we ensure that the rocket head would separate from the body?.
the parachute would remain in the body unless the head separated after the fuel is fully consumed
I have been waiting all day for this video yay!!!
they can be used with bottle rocket too.
Such a good idea, thankss
