  • For a rocket without a parachute, they are the most fun..!

    A video with a high IQ, thats very different for the tube..!

  • I've also developed a method of finding the altitude with a parachute, but it is very complex.

  • parabola

  • i know. I just made a mistake when speaking. I just can't correct it. But did you understand the rest of it?

  • You should do a video of Tsiolkovsky's rocket equation, for calculating a rocket's maximum velocity changes.

    Just a thought....

  • hm, i was looking for some way that i could determine the altitude of a rocket before launching it, it has a certain fuel and specific impulse, and using that (with the total mass of the rocket) you calculate the height it will reach form that.

  • if i say i have 8oz of fuel, the fuselage weighs 1lb. can you tell me the max height of rocket?is there a formula for rocket candy relative to the weight of a rocket? n wats it take to get a rocket to orbit?

  • great, maybe put some text on the bottom saying the formula
