The 3D animations and the way you capture and show the rocket trajectory is just superb! I mean, the mechanism itself is very well conceived/done, but those details on showing how is what really caught me. Congratulations.
for those who wonder, In one of the early comments long long time ago, the OP said that most of the parts were made on a very traditional lathe machine, so, being myself a mechanical technician i have to say, in your face 3D printers.
I love it not just your design but also the video done very well you have done an excellent job, I unfortunately do not have the resources to copy your design you could easily make money out of this. "I want One" Just curious how much pressure did you put into it or have you ever tested it to see how much it could take?
hola, porfavor te agradeceria si resolvieras una duda que tengo. quisiera saber como se llama el dispositivo que utilizaste y si se encuentra a la venta.
When a film clip is taken from tripod, frames are almost identical, except in places where something moves. So I exported frames as bitmaps and used pixel operation ("Blending") Subtract or Difference between two frames (adjacent ones or I choose a frame just before launch as a base). This way where pixels are the same, resulting pixel is 0 (black), where pixels differ, resulting pixel is lighter. Then I blended all parts to one picture using operation Lighter. In addition to the bottle I discovered series of dots in the result. Only this way I found that there are flying birds in the clips :-). Original was in full HD, so you can't see them in the youtube version, maybe except in the launch at 9:03 in the highest resolution. Small bird is climbing on the left side of the bottle path.
mm0063 Haa! Fantastic! Thanks for replying, didn't see any bird movement before :D. I love the directional hub you have around the projectile! You must have used that black-and-white bitmap to find its orientation. So did you use OpenCV and coding or some premade software?
Lot of hand work in IrfanView. Very inefficient even with support of Google SketchUp (set of hub cursor images), AutoHotKey (recording of mouse click coordinates, image manipulating), Excel (angle computing) etc. I cannot recommend my approach, but I did not find any better...
That's still nothing. Next time I plan to adopt lock mechanism used for instance on Apollo Command module hatch. :-) :-) :-). Closing force and its rate seems to me ideal for this purpose. space1.com/About_Us/In_the_Works/Apollo_Hatch/Apollo_Hatch_Latch/apollo_hatch_latch.html#locked ruclips.net/video/kn8k_ox5OXs/видео.htmlm48s
no you can´t, jk, well lol if you have a 3d printer you can make the blueprints yourself you just need a vernier caliper, any bottle and solidworks or any other cheap CAD software, but maybe it is not going to work it is a lot of pressure and the material that is 3d printed is quite weak.
OMG don't make it to easy..... we need dam blueprints ffs and a b and q with a bike shop and NASA to measure the fucking holes for us ffs😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great video! I really liked the footage of the trajectories.
Awesome. You guys must be outstanding mechanical or aerospace engineers.

Fajnový let ! A chválim dobre spracovaný návod. Bravo!
I am physic student from Malaysia. Nice video Sir 👍
Most excellent! I really liked the video production as a whole too - very fun to watch!
Wow!! Very good technic... Thanks for sharing
very professional to make this clip such as Desing engineer, Projectile How higt, good CG, Good solid work, Good adobe premier. AWESOME.
I was looking for something easier than this, but stayed for the music ! :D
thats some serious skills right there!
Wonderful!!! Very inspiring
Great Design !
amazing :) very Nice Design
Brilliant graphics! Thank you
Very complex design!
best launch pad I've seen thus far if only I had the eayiotment to replicate it :(
I love it not just your design but also the video done very well you have done an excellent job, I unfortunately do not have the resources to copy your design you could easily make money out of this. "I want One" Just curious how much pressure did you put into it or have you ever tested it to see how much it could take?
I think it's awesome . How much would you charge to make one
Поворотный затвор -супер.
Sandals and socks! (nylon I hope?) - Good man!
Smart build and use of materials
Loving the flight/orientation indicator
What CAD were you using?
hola, porfavor te agradeceria si resolvieras una duda que tengo. quisiera saber como se llama el dispositivo que utilizaste y si se encuentra a la venta.
Eres muy bueno e ingenioso, eso es conocimiento de ingeniería
wow, cool, angry birds irl is next)
I love it that it's so compact and portable!
PS. How did you process the flight path?
When a film clip is taken from tripod, frames are almost identical, except in places where something moves. So I exported frames as bitmaps and used pixel operation ("Blending") Subtract or Difference between two frames (adjacent ones or I choose a frame just before launch as a base).

best of the best and patent no money
mm0063 I wonder how you made that hex hole for alan key in the inner bolt?
He started with a set screw, that already had the hex hole in it.
What are the materials used? there's a list right?
Great design but due to equipment and skill reqired I think I will make something from pvc pipe
That's still nothing. Next time I plan to adopt lock mechanism used for instance on Apollo Command module hatch. :-) :-) :-).

+mm0063 what sotware did you use for the video tracking part?
Good design, but great music!
are there any drawing some where to go with this?
wow you vodeo it's incredible
you should sell these launchers to science teachers..you could make a lot of money if you mass produced threaded pipes and Nylon fitting....
i like the music, where's it from?
RUclips detected: Salt Creek - Norman Blake, Tony Rice ; Evening Prayer Blues Alan Bibey ; Brazos Bottom
Druha Trava
Great fun...ya!
Can I get soft copy of the parts to 3d print ..... Pleaseeeee
no you can´t, jk, well lol if you have a 3d printer you can make the blueprints yourself you just need a vernier caliper, any bottle and solidworks or any other cheap CAD software, but maybe it is not going to work it is a lot of pressure and the material that is 3d printed is quite weak.
Why no measurements, except for the first part?
TOP TOP TOP TOP!!!!
Please share the CAD files on Thingiverse
describe the parts
Are there any drawings available?
are you grezi
Why not talk?
😂
OMG don't make it to easy..... we need dam blueprints ffs and a b and q with a bike shop and NASA to measure the fucking holes for us ffs😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
