Here's mine...

Post by vsync »

Here's the only video I have on my rocket launches. It's roughly 2 years old, I think.
This rocket was made out of 2 x 1.5 L soda-bottles, coupled together neck-to-bottom with a hollow bolt + nut, washers and o-rings as seals. Used 1 L of water and around 8 bars of pressure. I hadn't come up with a parachute deploy system, so I flew this rocket without one, the water softened the land enough so the body itself didn't go all bananas after a land.

I'm sorry for the very poor quality.
Currently building an FTC-rocket, planning to get it launched in a few weeks, trying to get some footage from the launches.

Cheers!

Thanks for sharing the video!

I'm interested to hear about your FTC design. What are you using for the end bulkheads? Are you going to reinforce with any materials?

Thanx!
