Who wants to see a jet-powered car in the next video? Like this if you do!
hey bro just wanted to express how cool what youre doning is . keep the good work up :)
Yes of course
And we to see a jet powered plane
definetly
my dude: MOTORBIKE GPS tracker with sim card! cost like 10$ and have a tiny battery inside with will be automatically charged every time you connect the main lipo. go get one of those. there are some grams and i installed them on all my 4" to 5" drones because its so tiny. almost same as your bluetooth tracker. even main battery disconnects on impact. the tiny lipo will continue send exact GPS location to your phone via app in real time for some hours. and thats like 1 meter accuracy.

Well done, but let me give you a pro advice. Connect the delay to a 2 pound charge of black powder, and do away completely with the parachute. That way you won't have to worry about finding the rocket. You're welcome 😎
Haha of course you’d suggest that 😊
Start working on licensing. 🤣
loool..
and I love seeing my favorite youtubers on each other’s comments!
Top that off with some thermite and illuminate the backyard for miles.
I heard Ukraine is accepting donations...
A strobe light on the rocket could be helpful for locating it with a drone, especially once it's dark.
The LED signal flares are really good for that kind of idea.
Or an annoyingly loud piezo speaker just always turned on.
IR locator.
put an apple air tag inside with an extra phone
@@cyprezz_ he literally explained why he cant do that
I love the marriage of Carbon Fiber with the 3D Printed parts!
He just needs a jet engine rather than those puny black powder rocket cartridges right Integza?
you should pair up with him when you have a rocket perfected to fly
I would love to see a UAV missile project like the Switchblade 300.
I can’t tell wether or not This is a joke, but also is sick
would be cool
Would be cool, but he would be on some sort of list very quickly
I would absolutely love that
Go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200
A few years ago at a rocket launch one guy had a V2 replica. It was about five feet long. It looked like he had put a lot of work to it. It flew beautifully but in the end it did exactly what the V2 was designed to do and nose dived into the ground. Total loss. Turns out the ejection charge did go off but was waaaay under powered for the large internal space of the rocket.
Did it exit the atmosphere?
@@alilspark Not even close but it did go out of sight.
this is the reason you run a small dia tube the length of the rocket for ejection charge, it acts like a blow gun...
Yup, I've got a few V2s and no matter what I do, first flight is always a nose dive lol. No total loss yet though.
@@ej-1608 its because the fins on the v2 purposely made the rocket pick up speed in 1 direction, think of throwing a dart with fins
GPS trackers are only massive when you look for massive GPS trackers... there are very small ones available.
Ya ahah I have one that is like the size of my thumbnail lol
The ones in phones and smartwatches cannot be too big
@@andresmartinezramos7513 the only thing this guy would have to do is buy like an ATTINY and a gps module with a SIM card module or even a zigbee TXRX module. The zigbee ones have like a max range of a kilometre I think? Not sure off the top of my head
Edit: max range of XBEE modules is 3.2km
@@andresmartinezramos7513 exactly
One I’ve heard of is the Gf-07. It looks small.
This is so awesome!!
A few years ago I designed my own rocket engines and to test them, I made a 5ft tall rocket out of a pool noodle.
It worked surprisingly well and I was honestly quite proud of it until I saw this video...
Now I want to build a carbon fiber rocket worthy of my homemade engines!!
You are here too? Never would have thought you designed a rocket engine.
imagine a ProjectAir and BPS space collab, that would be awesome
We share the same brain cells🚀🚀🚀
If only there was a sponsor and a collaborative CAD platform for them to use...
how bout ProjectAir and Raytheon Technologies collab? 💀
Not hate, but BPS rocketry is on a whole nother level.
In terms of a "tracker", I'd suggest looking at something like a Vifly Buzzer 2. These things are tiny, battery powered "lasts days" and very, very loud. Mostly used in fpv quads so I'm sure it'd help with rockets like this!
Carbon fibre rocket? Surprisingly amazing
Full satisfaction
Love how these young blokes are messing around with cool stuff like this and inspiring an entire generation around the world to do the same :). That was some really cool footage!
You can only really do this if you have rich parents haha
i actually smiled when i saw that you posted a new video!
Cool build bud! It looks to me like you never sanded and cleaned the bonding areas for the fins, or did you? If not, try next time to sand both bonding areas (fins and tube) with 80 grit and clean with acetone really really well. Otherwise will the epoxy never bond to the carbon properly. /former Composite tech @ Rocketlab
Solid credentials for a YT comment
UK did have a space program of sorts. However the rockets were launched in Australia from Woomera in South Australia.
They didn't launch them from the UK as other countries would have seen the rockets landing in the ocean. All Americans rockets land around the Bermuda Triangle, they're not going to space, never have been to space and never will go anywhere that doesn't exist... Lies are poison for the mind that warps reality 👍🏼✌
@@DaVeHiLl200 What about the Russian space program they land their crew over the land. Anyway seems like you have an interesting theory there. but, I personally don't think it's true. But to each their own.
BPS Space has a few great videos on how he built some really strong fins. Watching it made me want to fiberglass everything.
Great video ! Glad to see your rockets flying !
You might consider sanding the area you're going to glue, with 200grit sandpaper. Furthermore, a real fillet at the base of the fins would have certainly increase their strength. Finally, a more powerful motor should be used for such a big rocket, indeed, it needs speed to be stable, and that was almost not the case.
We have an international rocketry discord if you are interested, with thousands of hobbyists willing to help.
Bro can you share the link for the discord group?
You can also use a drone beacon for searching. They are small and light and they can make either noise or send out a radio signal or both!!
I dont exactly know why but you are one of my favourite Chanel’s to watch. I love the fact that you keep things brief yet super informative, you dont drag on about the same thing for 20 mins to make a video longer your content is always just so clean and classy
I love Onshape and cool science. 10/10
Awesome video! Going to have to look into this whole carbon fiber + Onshape thing, seems like a guy could build something pretty sweet. ;)
Haha you guys rock!
Can you use onshape cause I made a model but can’t get it into files as a model
Hey guys, today we will be building a thermonuclear missile and launch it at an unsuspecting familys house
Cool build you inspired me to make a nuclear missile I have Alr bought the uranium and I am processing it I already have the rocket model and I can’t wait to test it
That's really amazing!
Awesome video, consider the Vodafone curve. Its a GPS tracker, with Bluetooth, and beeping activation.
We have 2 which I used on a few kittens when letting them out and also travelling for my backpack if it was to dissappear.
Hugs the baby orange rocket 😊
"essentially, what's happened, is it's gone" indeed, my friend, indeed.
"Hey guys, today im building a nuclear missile!, as you can see i forgot to put the SD card inside the Antimatter cannon and i told you il redo it with a nuke so here it is!"
@Projectair Awesome work mate and love the passion you display on the videos.
Whilst watching the video, it appears that once the vehicle lost its top guide in relation to the launch rail it immediately veered. Maybe next time you launch that particular vehicle, use an additional length of rail (2M to 3M) just to provide an additional split second of guidance to gain trajectory control.
Have you also done any further research into a synchronised multiple engine launch? The vehicle core appears to be large enough to take a triple engine. 🤔
Epic, as usual, but i think someday you are going to have mi6 investigating you for making mini missiles
Amazing man!!! Through channels like yours this hobby spreads faster!
Hey James, a quick thought about the tracker. Yes, they are big but that doesn't need to be the case. Off the top of my head, you could check the things network in your area and see how well it's covered. If it is, pick up an ESP32 with lorawan on board and a 6M GPS module and have it transmit data at certain interval to the things network. If you pick up one of the more standard ESP's, you're looking at around 15 grams. There's an ESP32 with a camera and micro SD card which will be an additional 5 grams. I can give a hand if you need(albeit virtually).
Another thought: accelerometer in order to determine when the rocket has landed. So add another 2-3 grams.
@@alexhri issue is moreso weight tbh
This is realy cool!
yeah BOI! Onshape squad
my dude: MOTORBIKE GPS tracker with sim card! cost like 10$ and have a tiny battery inside with will be automatically charged every time you connect the main lipo. go get one of those. there are some grams and i installed them on all my 4" to 5" drones because its so tiny. almost same as your bluetooth tracker. even main battery disconnects on impact. the tiny lipo will continue send exact GPS location to your phone via app in real time for some hours. and thats like 1 meter accuracy.
My favourite was the 2-stage rocket.
After I lost about $500 worth of rockets and camera in one day, I went and got my radio license and started including radio tracking equipment on my rockets.
good video! quick question: It seems many rocket youtubers loose track after launch, so why not install a pulsing or strobe light that starts either after the parachute is deployed or when no movement is detected (landed)?
Doesn’t work. During day, a strobe that is not too heavy will barely be visible when directly looking at it.
With grass, walls and an even higher distance, no chance.
Make a new rocket, spend winter making a launch pad, and when finished, launch!!!
very nice launch! I can't wait to see what happens after your improvements!
Easy way to get on the fbi watch list
I use onshape for school and it’s great
Flew my first Cesaroni this weekend and appreciate the ease of use.
Good to hear! Hope it was a success!
@@GreggCesaroni I’ve got hardware on order for LDRS. 😋
@@peraltarockets good luck!!! What motor are you flying??
"Essentially it must be gone" best quote
I like the slow launch.
The Tiny Tim was quite the rocket
Brilliant! It looks and works great!
next DIY heat-seeking Sidewinder missile
Awesome, Thanks for the wicked content
Been a while since I've watched rocket videos. That little orange rocket has a TON of power lol
It was really cool not just seeing this sleek, jet-black and far larger rocket take to the air and narrowly pull off a decent landing, but also the steps that went into designing it. Safe to say I've learned something, and Onshape looks pretty cool. I may consider using it at some point to help with my own projects. Cheers. :) 👍🥂🚀
Probably the best Video made yet! keep up the good work!
i love your videos! high effort, entertaining and overall great!
I wish we had that much snow in London, we didn't get any this winter
Bloody brilliant!!
Great Video!
That video of the rocket is amazingly fast
Idea for finding the rocket: stick a smoke device in there, like a pyrotechnical smoke "grenade". That way you can spot the downed rocket from farther away.
TO THE PUB! Cheers!
That was pretty awesome
that video from rocket looks sick
Great work
Nice Video! love engineering.
Been following you for a few years now. You'll get to space one day I have no doubt...
I love to watch because its more interesting every video.
for a rocket that big you can try to fit more rocket engines and maybe even ones that last longer
That’s awesome bro
Nice, I will try and build this with fiberglass and aluminium. Thanks.
Awesome James I love that
excellent as always
Some advice from a rocketeer: Eggtimer Rocketry provides great flight computers and reasonably inexpensive (and very, very tiny!) GPS tracking units for rockets. You can also use their flight computers to fire ejection charges at apogee, which would probably have spared you the nail-biting deployment you guys got.
And if you get the chance, you need to come out to Friends of Amateur Rocketry in California. It's just about the best place in the world for big rockets.
@Backyard Ballistics also add a laser targeting system so that you get some beef or chicken at the end of the day
Maximum pucker factor waiting for that chute to deploy lol
You should see the one the same guys in Kentucky that has the largest Airwolf RC FOR REAL!
This is perfect bro , love watching from Paris 😊
I loved this video nil
Great job sir
You could build a tracker with an Inav board and a gps unit with an rx attached.
Setup telemetry to your radio and use opentx to log the GPS co-ords.
F.b.I definitely watches you
Maybe you should get a high power certificate and get some really big motors next?
I looked at the thumbnail without reading the title and I thought you were gonna make a drone strike lol
Well loved this build, but the cone isn't pointy enough😂😂
Awesome ✨
Amazing
WHOA, We are terribly stunned!
Yesss! I love these rocket videos
this guy is so smart he's straight out building missiles. Congrats
This will end in a space program for the uk! And i love it!
And wonder why anyone bothered as "space only exists in the minds of it's fans" - an ex NASA employee 👍🏼✌
this is one of my new favorite channels!
Love it bro bravo❤
RUclips algorithm blessed me this video! Its been hours of trying to find videos i want to watch and this came out! But didn't enjoy much on the big rocket as it didn't go high as i expected, but the orange rocket is good!
Man I enjoy your content so much
Very cool!
Bro who wouldn’t wanna wake up early for a chance to see that launch.
You could use special fins to make some spin. That should give it more stability.
Just be like Santa Claus, m'lad, make a list and check it twice - to back up that brilliant memory. Let's not forget the SD card, ever again. I love your projects and videos.
HOLLY CRAP IT IS HUGE! Reminds me of Sidewinder air-to-air missile!
About those trackers... There's a third option, and that's just installing a dumb radio beacon, and then grabbing a yagi antenna in the field, and looking for it manually by observing the signal strength in different directions.
a drone beeper with build it lipo is a great option. they are loud so you only need to know roughly where to look and youll hear it
I love the videos! I have been getting into rocketry myself amd I was curious on how you built the launch controller and what the electronics are inside.
WE NEED MORE!
