Nice vid... love the baking soda fail ahah you've made a decent smoke grenade..! yet the second (kno3 & sugar) did you guys ballmill the blacpowder mixture??
@Kedolomer The size isn't anything special so long it fits pretty snugly into the shell; for this I think it was a 5/8's inch dowel. I used 12 gauge shells but you can use any size. IMO the bigger the better which in this case would be 12 gauge shells.
@WebShareMusic I think that was the one I tried making with a black powder based propellent instead of the sugar and I didn't quite have the finalizing the casing down (wrapping them in tape), so the propellent ended up melting through the shell and going KATO shortly after it was lit.
@fortnightproductions I lied the one that KATOed was a different one. The first one that never got off the ground had a mix of baking soda to slow down the burn however it had too much so it was essentially a giant smoke bomb. From my experience I found baking soda is pretty much unnecessary but some guys will tell you it helps the propellent burn smoother. Experiment and decide for yourself.
@27simber I just updated the description. If you have some experience with homemade engines it should be easy to follow. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
@27simber I've gone off to college so I don't have my supplies handy to make a video. I may or may not post a video in a month or so (depending on whether I come home or not). If you don't want to wait for that, I'll post step by step instructions that you should be able to follow without visual aide for now.
Lol this will make estes go bankrupt nice rocket if you put on the launch lug and buy a proper launch pad that would have went great i loved how it was made of paper i did a paper one with an estes c6 engine and it was set off in street straight into my dads car window wasnt pretty
cool man! i have a vid up on making laffy taffy rocket fuel. i only did a burn test, cause i didn't realize i have the stuff to make a rocket motor. shotgun shell casings! brilliant! 5 stars!
more like 10 minute hot glue and paper rocket fail. i wasn't out there to test a crappy rocket i was testing the engines which without a doubt worked. the point of having a friend film instead of using a tripod was to be able to follow the rocket faster. of course handing the camera over to someone who could give two fucks about where they were pointing it was a crappy plan too.
I look forward to listening from you how you made your rocket engines. I have made them from the old paper used shot gun tubes which no longer exist, with black powder. Like you I did not waste my time building a model rocket but just put a stick in to see how the motor worked. I think a cardboard liner inside your cartridge will work as aerotech reloadables use that and although ablated they do not burn through.
It's good to hear from somebody interested! I wasn't very motivated to get started on that tutorial since people weren't giving too much feedback. I'll get on it asap.
Great to hear from you...you seem like a nice interesting person..I look forward to your next video. E mail me here is you want to let me know how you got on..:)
