DIAMOND-X -- Fin Controlled Rocket -- Flight Test 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- DIAMOND-X is my most compact, advanced and successful actively controlled model rocket. This video shows how I got here, from early canard-control experiments to compact flight computers and aft fin control. DIAMOND-X's first flight was a huge success, showing good control in pitch yaw and roll.
In upcoming flights, a number of other guidance and control modes will be tested, including position control and waypoint-waypoint flights. This rocket will also fly from the ATLAS silo soon, stay tuned for more.
Fantastic project, and great video! Roll reversal is a real mess :)
Thank you, I appreciate it!
You guys should definitely collaborate!
Why not use hybrid laminar flow control towards the fins?
Man is out here putting Lockmart to shame!! This is seriously one of the coolest projects I've ever seen, remember to charge the Navy 100x the cost!
Or sell them at 2x the price you still make bank and then they have millions of them
What is Lockmart?
@@MissilemanIIILockheed Martin. I concur he did a very well executed video. I'd expect nothing less from a 21st century rocket scientist. Inspiring.
Man’s out here trying to get a surprise visit from the NSA 😂 they’re gonna “ask” to buy his system soon!
@@FrankRoosevelt32 Ah, people confusing the NSA and FBI still, I see...
The youtube algorithm hasn't let me eat this good in a long time. we feastin
As a veteran of supporting the LGM-25C Titan-II system in the late 1960’s, I find your project fascinating, especially the launch silo. Amazing effort in all regards!
Amazing work! Up next: Nosecone integrated infrared seeker...
Rico! Analysis!...Boom, sir! Yes, Rico, BOOM!
Open source anti air FTW.
@@TheDaniel366Cobra lol!
yes!@@TheDaniel366Cobra
Have you googled how much this costs?
I was looking for ideas for rockets for my RC jet and RUclips directed me here. This is awesome. Thank you, RUclips. You finally didn't disappoint me for once.
This is some really awesome work. The MK 41 style launcher is top notch, and I appreciate the nod to the Navy. Will certainly be watching for more updates!
U put a lot of people including me and a lot of youtubers to shame.
Damn this project and ur work is interesting.
best regards and I hope ur projects is used for good goals
Out of curiosity, do you have an MS, or a Ph.D? If not, you may want to consider writing all of this up as a paper and consider submitting it to be published. Great work and I'm glad to see someone working on something I've only ever considered working on, but am simply too busy to do myself at the moment. Amazing work. I do have so many more questions, but this is neither the place nor the forum for it, Good luck!
Thank you. I got my MS recently, unfortunately not in rocket-related engineering though. You can always send me a RUclips message with any questions you have and I'd be glad to answer them!
@@LafayetteSystemswhat did you study ?
@@LafayetteSystemsThere doesn't actually seem to be a way to message on RUclips
@@BearDemocracy yeahh
@@jasonharris351he studied psychology
I am a simple man
I see guided rocket , i subscribe
Its very interesting to see this video after recently getting into the rocketry part of youtube. I belivee youre the first person ive seen to rely so heavily on simulation to refine your rocket designs!
This is mad good skill right here. That silo was amazing
If you lengthen the strakes to the fwd end of the payload bay, you've replicated the Standard missile which has been virtually unchanged aerodynamically since the 1960s - indicating a very successful design.
Like with Sidewinder, you've gone from front canard control, to rear control (on AIM-9X with TV )
Have a look where the aargm-er missile is going: (2, blended) strakes along the body, but @ 45° angles from the rear control surfaces ... otherwise, looking a lot like ... Standard
I actually work with teams of professional engineers in the space industry. I’ve worked at a major space launch company you’ve definitely heard of. And you are putting those teams to shame. I’m a pretty old machinist so I’ve seen the rate of technological change going all the way back to the 1980’s when I first worked on avionics "computers" the size of double door refrigerators. The hinges on the cabinet were the size of your whole control system. I feel like you young guys who grew up with arduinos and 3d printers have really started taking things to the next level. Like 20 years ago these projects would have only been possible by a huge team with millions of dollars to spend. Once AI agents become a thing I think we’ll see the next doubling of capabilities. You should be proud
bro is out here doing learning litteral rocket science in his free time, respect
I've been dreaming of doing something like this for years. Kudos and thanks for sharing.
Commenting to feed the YT algorithm. Awesome seeing a launch view without it constantly rolling.
Thank you for taking the time to make this great video. I enjoy seeing the progress you make and how much effort you put in to get it working the way you want, well done!
Especially moving waypoints would be fascinating to see
A thought I had long ago was a camera looking back at the launch pad and feeding corrections (like a mouse in a way) to a gimbaled motor
(or even simpler and lighter control using 3 fins and a linear solenoid (coil) controlling the trailing edge of the fins).
Hey, definitely not Hamas here. Hope to see more material. Much love,
-definitely not Hamas.
Hammas can afford the real stuff. I reckon it'll be a disgruntled trumpist god botherer that uses this in a drive-by bear hunt roid rage attack on a billboard of a rainbow riding tay Tay drinking bud and holding hands with the prince of wokeness, biden
I agree with both statements!
Nice project and I love the “definitely not Hamas “ comment.
Gold star ⭐️
پروزه سخت و دیدنی بود شما خیلی دانا هستید ارزوی موفقيت ❤
A great watch, thanks for your time and effort putting this together.
My guy is really just out here designing missiles on youtube.
I don't see a warhead? Not a missle
So how long until you get a visit from the black-suits telling you your RUclips might be subject to ITAR 👀😅
I was kinda thinking the same thing. Hahaha
Wooow! This is really cool!!! Thank you for taking the time to film, comment and edit all of that! Have a wonderful day!
This truly is amazing, had this video saved for a week or so and just came to it. Great work and hope nothing but the best for your future launches/projects which I’ll be waiting for
roll reversal was noted with pilots in ww2 who exceeded the airpseed limits in dives. The ones who lived without their aircraft breaking up discovered their elevators would act in reverse at high enough speeds. so, pulling back as normal to decrease the dive would push them harder towards the ground.
Man, I hope that when you said "graduated college" you didn't mean Bachelor's degree because , this is industry, country , scientist , Einstein, Oppenheimer level thing. And you are alone !!!!! Bro, you are a full package. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
if your control planes are on the same axis as the fixed planes, move them off axis.. the airflow disturbance of the front fins will affect the laminar efficiency of the rear fins.
When I eventually get missile launchers in my backyard, I'd get Lafayette Systems to make them.
Great video
Great engineering! Looking forward to the next models and flights.
So glad that I stumbled across your channel. This is an amazing project. I am really looking forward to seeing how it shapes up.
Raytheon out here taking notes.
You are currently the coolest person I know
translating to freedom units made my day :D
Funny how they're the units used by the British government and a symbol if their rule....
But yeah.... 'Freedom' units
Whoa!
I'm glad youtube algo is giving you some love 'cuz this is some very impressive work.
so crazy to think that functioning rockets have been around for almost 100 years.
I respect your patience.
way to much effort to have such little views tbh, awesome rocket design!!
Hope this application for work at Spacex works out for you :) Very cool. Unimaginable project level, for me. I wish I could do stuff like this. Quite amazing.
That is sweet dude, super impressed by the variety of skills and knowledge on display here
Great project, and very well-organized presentation!
Quality stuff, I really enjoyed it.
This is some seriously cool stuff and you're doing great work, earned a subscriber! I look forward to seeing what you do with this in the future.
You are hired sir.
Very cool project! Looking forward to your future builds!
Years ago I built a fiberglass rocket with rear fin control. It was intended to progress to the point where it could hit an RC airplane. I was working out the controls to cancel unwanted roll while controlling pitch/yaw. I progressed to the point where I tried a launch that was supposed to pitch the rocket over to a fairly steep angle from the vertical and then correct the rocket's attitude to a vertical orientation. On launch it pitched over fine but then turned straight down, not up, and augered in beyond the the neighbor's fence. I rushed to the fence to see my neighbor standing behind his lawn mower extremely shaken. He saw me, then shouted " I was almost killed by a meteor!". The rocket had made a small crater and was still smoking. That was the end of my attempt at fin control.
Amazing project!!
OMG! That is soooooo cool!
You are doing better then Space X, almost as good as ULA and Blue Origin!😊
Cannot wait to see where else you can take this project! Definitely got a follow from me!
Brilliant!
Insane rocket. I don't know why you don't have more subs
Impressive. Most impressive.
Great project and congratulations on successful launch 🎉
Fine line between a science project, and an offensive weapon that can be used by non state actors. You should start a company to consult some of our US weapons manufacturers.
Dude whattttttttttttt! I am definitely gonna subscribe and hit the bell notification!
Amazing work bro keep doing what you do.
Atlas like a spine🩻💀 I c what u did there🚀💜
Hey this is a really cool project and a nice video, good job!
Why does the alg only recommend you now? Subbed and notifications are on!
we making it on a watchlist with this one
Awesome modular design. Great CFD skills. Best stabilization seen so far on youtube. You could probably try to design gimbaling for the booster next, and make a real missile.
This is so cool
mind blowing
I would like to see this project used in a non military field like economic cloud seeding.
Good luck 🤞
Amazing project
Cant wait for the high speed booster with long burn main stage.
Very interesting, thank you, subscribed.
If you get yourself a ground radar you can measure the actual position i 3D space and cross reference the programmed flight path with the actual flight characteristics.
Yep the suits are definitely going to make a visit
Very impressive, wish i had the time to work on something like this. Have you considered putting the servos up front and running linkages down to the fins internally? You could move the bulk of the mechanism fore and open up more space for the motor.
This is so awesome!
Put a seeker and some explosives in it and it's basically a low-altitude short-range SAM
Those are one of the few weapons completely banned. You can technically form 1 destructive device a missile with an explosive payload but it can’t have a seek after 2001 law prohibiting that
Pretty cool project
You rocket is still lacking a range to reach Israel, bro. Keep going
Say hello to the ginger cat 🥰🤗
Amazing project!
Now can you design a low cost 3d printed interceptor to restore balance to the universe.
It’s a good project. I always wanted to get into model rockets but then I think to my self how I would start and never finish my project like the 30 others that I have Laing around.
Now the ATF can’t even come close to your compound😂
Love me some Freedom Units!
Amazing work
Raytheon, eat your heart out!
Have your 3k subscribers !!!
Well done man!
Look at the Stinger missile operating system. It's ony a 70mm body with 4 rear fins. But it's a boat tail shape that gives more effective fin control without protruding much beyond tube diameter.
Awesome Video!!
Amazing video this is well worth a sub!
Very cool! Good job buddy!
Your work is truly inspiring, and that's no joke. I am currently developing a flight controller for a quadcopter using the backstepping control technique. And please, I would like to know if the flight simulations that you show in the video are made with Matlab? or do you use another program?
Greetings from Cusco!!!
VERY cool! liked and subbed! keep em coming❤️
It's really cool! One question: What did you major in at college?
Awesome! You earned a sub!
What about:
1. Steerable parachute to return to home (or where you want).
2. Parachute opens at max altitude?
Seems you need to tame down the P gain early in the flight and ramp it up to normal after it gets going.
How about a much lighter system, 4 servos just seem pretty heavy.
A couple H13 long burn would be pretty cool.
Well done! Very interesting watching the design evolve over time, many designs were very similar to IRL missiles. The final design shown in the simulation bore a striking resemblance to the Vympel R-24. Now to put an infared imager in the nose?
Not really. The total lack of midbody strakes makes it look more like a very, very cut-down Harpoon or shortened Standard-2.
Awesome video. You got my sub.
"no I am not working on top secret guided missile projects" 😳
SO FRICKING COOL!
Guys are making weapons inside their homes. You smart asf
The other BPS Space! Really cool; instant subscribe from me.
ITAR will be adding some amendments soon me thinks.
the diy ATGM (Tandem).
