  • can you give me any blueprint to make liquid rocket engine?

  • @csm9420

    sorry, but we do not have any blueprints for the motor. It's a surplus LR101 motor.

  • why didnt you guys use a tripod gah

  • I don't understand the question. What is a tripod gah?

  • Was it meant to go side ways?

  • By the time we could launch,the wind had pickup up, check out the flag in the background. Our rocket has rather large fins for its size, to keep it overly stable. Good for stability, bad in the wind. When the rocket leaves the rail,you can see the rocket tilt over a little, because the fins catch the wind. The rocket continued into the wind and down range. The rocket landed approximately 3 miles down range. We lost that rocket in the desert for 3 years. We did find it, on another rocket mission

  • Have you heard of/considered an 'amateur' liquid rocket that uses Hydrazine as the propellant and N2O4 as the oxidizer? N2O4 should be relatively easy to make 'in the kitchen', Hydrazine is a bit harder but should still be possible...

    Also, where was this launched? I was linked to this video by someone who implied that you were from the UK, but that looks a bit too 'dry-lakebed-ey' for anywhere i've seen. Cheers!

  • did you used compressed oxigen? or supercooled? how much fuel and oxidizer does it use per minute? i want to build an liquid feuled engine so i need something as examle....

    thnx=)

  • @Flometrics gah is best when served live.

  • @Fenrisulfir: Since the fins are on the bottom it seems like it would turn into the wind.

  • @Flometrics

    Does it turn into the direction where the wind come from or with the wind?

  • Gyros are cheap.  Guidance systems built around them can get pricey.

  • SO WHY DID I LEAN OVER?

  • Makes it all the more fun-er.
