3000+ feet? That's incredible! Well done, sugar rocket. No wonder my kids are bouncing around the room after drinking a lot of soda.
ahhahaha
😆😆😆 They need Oxidizer too.
ok boomer
@@deei5130 Is that supposed to mean something?
@@robertzeurunkl8401 It means hes a 25 year old single man who still lives with his parents, desperately clinging to his youth. I game online a lot, ive never met anyone who uses that term either A) appropriately or B) Without being a toxic d**khead
This was AMAZING I really enjoyed this.
I like how this vid got straight to the point and it was cool keep it going people.
This is whaat ive been lookin for lol, love the PVC concept, i didnt even think thatd be so effective !
I give credit for both the sugar rocket and the pvc rocket. Great job guys!!!!!!!!!!!
*That guy from the sugar rocket team is crazy, I like that!*
Just hit 4:53 I already vote sugar due to the way that dude looks. He knows rockets.
2:33 When NASA fails a rocket.
That was awesome. I miss the days of building rockets similar to this.
Silly comparison. 38mm 4grain sugar motor, likely full "I" class(somewhere around 600Ns), vs a 29mm hybrid which likely came in at a "G" or "H" class(somewhere around 160-300Ns). They didn't really configure the competition to be highest altitude per motor volume, or propellant mass, or anything. They didn't use the same size rocket either. The Sugar motor was just plain bigger, and naturally if you compare a bigger motor and a smaller one, the bigger one will go higher.
Jimmy's kinda... different?
Indeed!
-Did you get it from the hardware store?
- No Sir, it's a little bit more complicated than that, BUT IT'S BASICALLY PVC PIPE :)))))
That got me as well, like he got it from NASA.
Well, yes, but actually, no 😂😂
You didn’t give any credit to the video by NightHawk during the acrylic video
"Sugar rush" is a really good name for a rocket candy driven rocket :-)
“Thousand 15 hundred feet”🤣
5:59 Me on the can, a few hours after eating White Castles.
i absolutely love how this group of Americans with all the stereotypes of accents, remarks, looks etc fully in tact are doing something so amazing and the brits are watching it.
Wtf are you talking about lol, is there any context?
An enjoyable video. Thank you.
Don't show this to North Korea, it will set them forward at least a year.
They're too busy hacking South Korean crypto exchanges and making bulk $$$ for their god.
XxNexusxX a century
XxNexusxX lmao
ww III, artificial sugar could save your life
haha
Superb... The power of Sugar
I agree not to mention so much easier to use than a nitrous hybrid.
Madhukar Sethi sugar rush of a rocket
Indeed
Absolutely awesome!
I love rocketeers there all mental great stuff 👍👍👍
Both are really cool!
The sugar rocketeer is wonderfully flamboyant! Sweet guy! 😀
Or flamgirlant .😀
Explosively Sweet!!!
The hybrid with PVC lost a whole lot of Nitrous Oxide venting outside of the motor when fill tube stayed attached all the way up the tower. U/C valves are terrible for this, especially in such small motor.
Was the weight of the propellant the same for both fuel types?
Does pbc act as a nozzle? How can I prevent the heat from ignition is moving to the fuel tank?
I tried to make one of these back in my grade school days using sugar and saltpetre as fuel in a tube made from aluminium foil wrapped around a pencil with cardboard fins. Big whoosh when ignited but failed to leave the ground because it blew out the nozzle I had fashioned in the Al. foil.
I like how the pvc rocket was tested first then the Sugar one that just blew everyone
3:49 they made that veteran cover up what he was a veteran of...
The sparks in sugar rocket is from added in Iron (III) oxide for better combustion. This can make the fuel 20% more energetic, by increasing the burn rate.
Hi, I'm doing research about rocket propellants and the use of iron oxide for better combustion is really interesting. Can you elaborate on how does it work? I thought that it was a little like the sulfur in gunpowder, but I'm really not sure And especially, in what proportion is better for the combustion?
the iron oxide is well known in the field to be a catalyst in sugar based propellants, it increases the burn rate by quite a bit. The 'why' it works requires an explanation way behind the scope of this place, in very short, it lowers the reaction activation energy. @@Frisso92_
Thanks sir 😊
When your rocket competition looks like the dude in pink, you know you've already lost before it even started.
it looks so luxurious wow... I've just tried to make water rocket : )
@Alexander Chohan why are you so nervous? i was just trying to compliment them zzzz poor thing..
"Sugar is a great fuel because it has so much Hydrogen in it". Nope. There is a reason they're called Carbohydrates. For every two atoms of Hydrogen in a carbohydrate molecule, there is an atom of Oxygen. The Hydrogen already wasted its energy. The only energy left to burn is from Carbon. This is also why alcohol is not as good fuel as gasoline.
They’re not saying it’s better than other fuels, but for being sugar, a common household item that isn’t dangerous then it’s a good fuel
Ture
True. And sugar is also a very unstable molecule with a low burning temperature and lots of carbon so if you likened this sugar/potassium nitrate fuel to the more common black powder rocket motors, the sugar takes the place of both the carbon and sulphur in a common black powder mixture.
How about Pentane and Phosphotungstic acid for a fuel and oxidizer?
You can make more power on alcohol than on gasoline in a blown big block V8
Hey, please credit nighthawkinlight for his video which you used at 1:15
no they have the right to use any footage they want if they are lazy
@@asasnat342 Not legally speaking.
I'm sure they asked for permission
Wow ,one I never knew Angela landsberry was into model rocketry and two this would be a good place too start for ion propulsion rockets .
Sweet!
night hawk in light
nice job
they used nighthawkinlight's video!
GameTrench what's that
+SG pro another TH-camr
i was just going to say that!
i know right
That's very dodgy - not even to acknowledge thats he using another TH-camrs video. Very poor.
Dextrose Jimmy aka “Sugar” is the winner ! ! 😆😆😆
1:25 thats nighthawk in light
First, thing I noticed was the difference in size of engines. Sugar was a lot larger.
Sweet and low works crazy good
This is what Hamas use in their Qassam rockets BTW, a sugar plus potassium nitrate mix.
You can use fertiliser to get the potassium nitrate, which is probably where they get it.
Once you pack enough in there, they are able to get their homemade rockets to go up to 30km in distance, which is pretty impressive, it also carries a 10kg explosive head.
sick
so is the PVC tube a one time use?
That was a sweet flight, James Yawn!
Wow!
What is the oxidizer?
Awesome
Indeed
Really interested in the hybrid mix ratios, would like to know if there are books or forums on this specifically?
hybrids are NOT mixed.
This IS rocket science!
indeed
Sugar is sweeter, hence will go higher? Very good answer.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
how much amount did you put?
what was the ratio used for fuel ?
i love it
çok güzel. very well.
What a nice thing
Is there a rocket club in banting ??
Back in the 60s, the kids down the street were making rockets using sugar + potassium nitrate as a propellent. All went well until one of the kids had a few fingers torn off when the rocket motor exploded on him, as he prepared to launch. I was still too young at the time to mess with any of that, but just a few years later I briefly experimented with rockets (but I used commercially available rocket motors). Then I moved on to RC airplanes, gliders and helicopters.
People had to learn that you cannot be next to it when it ignites, which is why we use electronic ignition systems now
@@WNActivist88 Oh yes, back when I played with rockets (1975) I also used electric ignition, keeping a safe distance away from the rocket. The commercially available motors came with igniters.
Kids. That is the main problem, although it's fun and a good learning experience, kids should benefit from the assistance of someone with actual experience in the field.
How much distance can it take
Now I see this, I wanna build it myself
@discovery you shoud make a mini one
Jimmy James Yawn a true R-candy legend. His website is amazing!! Tought me everything I know. Safety number 1!!
Yay for sugar! That's sweet.
it's be cool to have a blk powder motor powered rocket as a control, but these both are quite impressive!
Nice
Nasa: Hold My Beer
Oxidizer is kno3
Sweet.
Yeah
Did they use the same weight of propellant?
Super
When I was a kid (I am fifty-one now) I used to make smoke bombs out of potassium nitrate and sugar. I do not remember the mixing ratio but a kilo of the stuff in an open container created a hell of a lot of smoke.
www.nakka-rocketry.net/smoke.html
65% KNO3 to 35% sugar. You can add in 1-2% iron oxide for a faster burn too, it creates a much denser smoke.
Can glucose be used instead of dextrose?
انت رهيب
Indeed.
Good
What oxidizer was used with the dextrose?
its a chemical called Sandro monohydrate
Where do you even get pic like that
I need the process and parts of rocket you have used.
I also wanna to make a rocket and launch it.
Go to the king of random TH-cam channel.
in which quantity do we mix dextrose and oxidizer for making 100 gram of mixture please tell me
@Lucas Martin Sabbione thank you sir
Pretty cool. We should of done this in science
When I eat candy with a lot of sugar I launch myself from the couch afterward with lots of gaseous energy "wink"
Holy crap. I go to that rocket club. It’s called NEFAR rocketry.
what are they covering on their ball caps with the black tape??
Cool
3:20 the smoke is going round and round on the flame
I believe that was the nitrous oxide fueling line.
Can you explain about the structure of your rocket
Sweet ;-)
nice
Sweeeeeet 😊
Which type of sugar this
I request u a lot
Whaaaat? I have been in the plastics industry for longer than a decade and I've always known PVC as a self extinguishing material. That got me Stuffed.
Sweet
