SUCCESSFUL Payload Drop From Over 40,000 feet - ft. Jumbo Jet!?
มุมมอง 165ปีที่แล้ว
We designed a C.A.D.E.T. (Costal Avoidance Device for Early Termination) to make High-Altitude Ballooning possible in coastal areas. This device will drop the payload whenever the balloon drifts past a pre-set GEO Fence. The payload will fall rapidly under a small drogue chute until the main chute deploys closer to the ground. This delayed chute deployment prevents unnecessary drift toward coas...

Great project! Wish the lens wasn’t a fish eye tho
Yeah, the Runcam 5 Orange does have Image Correction to help remove distortion, but its not perfect...
@@FLALabs understood, but thank you nonetheless for a such a great view <3
I have an idea: Why don’t we develop solid-fuel rocket with range of 100 kilometers and put the satellite in orbit for a short period? Is this idea possible or am crazy? hope for response. Thank you. appreciate your effort.😂❤
That is a fun idea, and yes it has been done! Look up rockoon on Google, you won't be disappointed!
That balloon has some brass ballz
Hi! I see you used 2.25mm and 2.9mm holes for threaded inserts. I can't figure out what size threaded inserts fits these size holes?
Hilitchi 120Pcs Brass Knurled Nuts Threaded Heat Embedment Nut for Printing 3D Printer and More Projects (M3x6x5) a.co/d/cCiz6Td
These have become my preferred threaded insert. Id recommend you do a few test prints and select a hole diameter that results in the best results with the threaded insert. I Luke to make it so the small part will fit into the hole and then you can press it the rest of the eay with heat. Hopefully this helps!
Awesome! I'm pretty sure I took that picture at the end. I so glad you gave me that card. It was great chatting with you. That drive back to MI was not 😵💫
Our drive included some balloon hunting so we got back VERY late! Thanks for your pictures and interest, it was great chatting with you!
Waaaaaooooo awesome view!!❤
I know, right!?
the ULA logo theme is funny! lol🤣
Did you notice that I replaced the rocket I'm the "A" with a 3D printer nozzel? 😄
neat! next time you get the opportunity to do this, try strapping a 360 camera to it!
I've been trying to get @insta360 to sponsor a camera, but no response yet!
Such a cool idea!!
Thanks!
How far away from the launch site do these typically land? I understand it would depend on wind, altitude, etc, but just a general idea?
Great question! This one traveled 88 miles which is pretty typical. We have tools that we use to calculate the approximate landing location based on factors like wind, payload, and lifting gas!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
This is pretty dope! 🤙🏿
Glad ya liked it!
Bad timing for eclipse !
Perfect timing for eclipse! We were hoping it would happen while our balloon was in the path of totality!
@@FLALabs I meant, that you should calculate time to get that baloon to 100K feet over clouds to see totality there.
That would have been another cool view to see, yeah!
It floated?
Only until the air pressure got too low causing the balloon to stretch and expand to its bursting point!
Bravo! Tbh, it made me cry. Your Mom loved this, I am sure!
My turn... thanks Kelly💙
It made me emotional too!
Very cool video with some amazing shots! How long did it take for you to recover the payload?
The flight took a total of 2 hours launch to landing and it traveled around 100 miles!
Great launch, best shot of the Eclipse I have seen. But the best was to see all those smiling faces.
Thanks so much! We were smiles all around once the balloon was in the air!
The eclipse clips are so amazing, and that balloon pop was extremely satisfying to see .
Glad you liked it Prateek!
The balloon pop was my favorite part of the video! So cool!!🎈
Thanks! I was so glad the camera caught that!
What a fun day. I'm not sure I've seen footage of the balloon popping! So cool!
Isn't it spectacular!
Don't panic! There is a typo in this video... bonus points if you find it and comment below!
Penumbra is the moons shadow. The ring around the moon is the corona, the suns atmosphere.
@DPK17 you are absolutely correct!
The Halo around the moon is the Corona.
It sure is!
That balloon pop was awesome!!! I can't believe how much higer that went than other launches!
It was a great launch!
Why it didn't enter the orbit and went right back down? What if you lift it up that much and shot some type of firework? Maybe it would stay there and function as it supposed to? 😊
Look Up a Rockoon! The idea has been tested and it was awesome!
hey this is super cool but what happened to your fidget roller on your etsy store?
Unfortunately, ONO has a patent that they say I was infringing on, so I am unable to sell rollers on Etsy...
@@FLALabs oh i see. Thank you
haha i can't get over how those look like 18650 batteries but safe to play with, i should print some scary labels on mine
Thats awesome 👏🏻
Thats so cool its really fascinating to have real fire lit on the desk
Thanks, Prateek!
@@FLALabs 😇
Really cool, definitely subscribed. If youre up for a little criticism, the audio mixing was a little off with the music. It made it hard to hear you
Thanks for the feedback! Was it the song choice or the audio that you didn't like? Thanks for the sub!
I agree, I had the same issue: The audio/music was way too loud. It was difficult to follow what you were talking Besides that, nice video! 👍
Thanks for the feedback!
With all due respect, I believe you may have inadvertently designed a firebomb. Be careful with that ready mix concrete. That stuff is not meant to survive high temperatures. Your mix is quite wet, but I'm far more concerned with the concrete material itself. There's a reason you shouldn't build a fire directly atop a concrete slab. Instead, you burn in a fireplace or fire pit built atop a concrete slab. Regular concrete is not fireproof. It can spall, crack, or even explode under prolonged direct exposure to heat. Consider the thermal gradients involved here. Differential heating causes restrained thermal expansion. The hot inner layers of the fireplace want to expand, while the cool outer layers resist this expansion. Concrete has very little tensile capacity. With steep enough temperature gradients, these restraining stresses can grow very large. And if conditions are right, a fireplace like this can be completely destroyed by these stresses, potentially even explosively so. You need to look into the special mixes that go into fire bricks. If you're sitting at your desk, and you have a fire burning in one of these things, you have what has the potential to be a very literal firebomb just inches away from you. This, as designed, is a potential firebomb. And just because you've tested it once doesn't mean it is OK. Maybe this one will be fine, but other copies won't. Fatigue and stress cycling can also magnify this effect, meaning that the fireplace might be fine for the first hundred firing, then go off like a bomb on the 101st. Or someone might fill theirs up a bit higher, with a bit more fuel, than you did. Or they may buy a fuel mix with a slightly different chemistry. And on and on. I hate to state the obvious, but you're literally playing with fire here. Any device that you can buy that features an open flame has a hell of a lot of engineering that goes into it. And the first requirement for anything that needs to take the heat is that it must be built of heat-tolerant materials. And regular concrete is absolutely not a heat-tolerant material. A concrete house does better than a stick-built wooden house in a fire, but both need to be torn down after.
Thanks for your concern! I have done a lot of testing and I am comfortable with the results for my own use. I will add a disclaimer for others who decide to do the project for themselves!
What kind of silicone do you use? Im new to this so im not sure what to purchase or not.. Great video and what a nice project
I used this kit I found on Amazon called: "LET'S RESIN Super Elastic Silicone Mold Making Kit"
Lowes sells this exact thing for $25
I spent more than that on the project for sure, but I dont regret it!
Wonderful project, and inspirational. I like that you were able to cover a lot of ground in a short period of time but without leaving anything out of the steps. Definitely in the to-do queue. 😊
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!
Well done mate, enjoyed your video. Can you pin a comment with your feedback from using it after some time? I wonder if adding a fragrant oil would make the room smell nice?
Will do! Glad you enjoyed!
This video was good for the soul. Well done
Glad you thought so!
Try using 3D resin to get rid of layer lines. It also works well for welding prints together.
I will give that a try, thanks!
awesome project. I like fire... alot... Sorry about the loss of your mom. Mine recently passed as well. She decided that mothers day was her day to go hahaha.
I'm sorry for your loss. It's a terrible thing to have in common!
@@FLALabs it is. It sucks for sure. She was younger too, just like your mom. One thing i sometimes find cathartic, is when im struggling or stuck, i talk to her as if she were here.. hoping that the ideas i get on my head are from her :) We got this!
❤❤
Love that HDX and RapidSet sponsor! Haha this looks super cool!
If you know anybody, I'd love to rep Home Depot! Haha
dude fuck your music, I can't even watch this FYI some of us know how to play our own music while watching videos ps) not saying the music is bad (though it is), but I just think you're a terrible person for putting this music on a video that's meant for ppl to LEARN PPS) you're not really a bad person. Please do better.
What a Rollercoaster of a comment! Thanks for the feedback. Watch my latest video and let me know if my background music has improved!
Woah its been long time 😅 It looks really good . Sorry the package is lost for sure . I've been also working on a model rocket and built the tvc mount using different diameter pvc pipes and it works surprisingly well😅.... When will you post the full video?
I plan to have the new video out within the week!
Nice work!
Thanks Scotty!
Thanks for a great tutorial!
I'm glad you found it useful!
@@FLALabsI understand the concept but was trying to use a different software. I downloaded Fusion360 but I’m having a hard time following along. I’m not able to find the measurement points to set the distance between lines & not able to get the line extensions to trim off the extra. I’m stuck at this point… Would you be willing to do another video for dummies like me that is new to Fusion360? I would gladly donate again.
I have a new fusion 360 tutorial I will be starting next, stay tuned!
Very cool. It just missed those power lines, the road, didn’t land in someone’s yard, etc. Couldn’t have asked for a better landing.
Fab project. Where did you get the code? Did you CAD your own model for the prints?
The code and the 3D models were all custom, though I did use Arduino and Adafruit libraries as a starting point for the code
Both of them looks soo beautiful Especially the space shuttle one ,❤❤ Assembly was super satisfying ❤
Those look super cool!

Hello, at time 12:46, you use a metal component to serve as a support to place screws later. What's his name?
Those are called "brass threaded inserts". I get mine on Amazon, but you can get more specific sizes and varieties on McMaster Carr
Not to be too critical, but this was more of a modeling video than a 3d printing video. This enclosure has no holes for wiring. The 3d printing process is part of the challenge of this build. You know, like how to print the lid without it warping. Unless I missed it, I also didn't see where you told us what material it is made from. I presume it's PLA.
If you are having trouble printing the lid without warping, make sure it is printed logo side down and try using some adhesive like Magigoo! I left off the holes so that the box could be customized as needed. I recommend simply drilling the holes you need. Yes, I used PLA for this project. If you have any other questions about how to succeed with designing/printing your custom enclosure, let me know!
