Beautiful. You guys are true patriots. I wish to one day stand on your shoulders.
One launch is really really cool.
Four launches will be four times cooler.
This is coming from someone with a limited knowledge of shoulder launched systems, but from what I know most "commercial" launchers use a booster charge to launch the projectile before the motor ignites to avoid burns. It appears yours doesn't have this system and I was wondering what your plan was to combat burns or if you will add a booster charge. On the other hand it does look like your engines burn with a very tight jet and this may answer my question. I love work and keep it up.
On a homemade scale, Boost charges are incredibly inconsistent and difficult to make efficient. The advantage to the rocket motor having a full ignition from the tube is that the rocket will continue to go in the general direction after it leaves the tube, depending on stabilization, etc. With a boost charge, you have a window where nothing is propelling the rocket and you hope it is still in the desired trajectory when the main motor ignites.
In the grand scheme of things, if you were wearing gloves, pants, and a long sleeve shirt, that rocket would be moving too fast to really cause any burns. If one were worried however, you could just throw a simple blast shield on the launcher like the early panzerschreck models.
A lightweight shield will minimize damage due to the scale of the motors. If they scale up, then they will need the booster charge.
Amazing work everyone. I can't wait to see more.
The metal vanes redirecting the exhaust is genius. I LOVE IT!!
What kind of propellant did you use for the motor? It has so much power and consistency. TH-cam probably wouldn't like you disclosing the composition, but if that propellant has a name, I would love to know it. Also, you should really, REALLY check out the website run by the Department of Defense known as the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC). Every single DECLASSIFIED technical data, specifications, testing data, R&D, and experimentation documents on every type of military hardware/armament that exists can be found on there. It's how I know:
"The propellant charge for the Carl Gustav weapon consists of 370 g of
double-base propellant AKB 204/0 that is layered in forty 15-mm by 167-
mm strips [17]. The propellant is based on nitrocellulose (NC) and nitroglycerin (NG) with ethyl centralite (EC) as a stabilizer in the following
proportions (w/w): NC (61.0%), NG (37.5%), and EC (1.5%)"
Yeah try to find that info anywhere else. That site is an absolute GOLDMINE
Stated down in the comments that the propellant used is APCP
I can't believe you actually do this. Your videos and builds are amazing.
❤ need some more of this in my life
Hell yeah dude, good for you! This rocks!
Everyone needs one of these in their homes.
I love your panzerfaust book, I just bought one and it’s one of the coolest books I’ve read
I appreciate it mate, this M202 book should be out soon too
TOTALLY AWSOME ... as always
Man, it's absolutely beautiful
Absolutely beutiful work as always. I love making rockets and small explosives, I always love the boom and the flame out the back. There's nothing like a good straight firing rocket. And the chemistry behind the fuel, I love that process too. Am currently working on a rocket launcher of sorts myself. Doesn't use any rockets at all. Just propelled by a airsoft 40mm shell. And it will basically be a short range shoulder fired mortar. Will hopefully be doing a video on it within the next few days or weeks. Will definatly be my 150sub video
Best of luck in the bed!
That’s impressive.
This made my day. Amazing work!
next step, what causes about 30% of casulaties in ANY war since it's invention : mortar
So badass. Keep it up.
Oh man, those things really get going.
That thing is soooo neat :D
That looks absolutely perfect. You've totally mastered the hardest part. Now all you need is to get the licensing to show ypu using Proper payloads. Maybe a shaped charge?
its beautiful
Snow? You miss those palm trees yet? (Awesome project by the way)
Haha definitely is a big change
That is the weapon what we need in Myanmar!!!
Man, use a flamethrower. Is more easy to make...
Are you thinking of making guided missiles like javelin?
best EDC weapon ever
I love m202 rocket launch er❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂 always.😅
🅱️ased and VonBraunPilled
Would be awesome to see some chrony speeds. I understand that would be difficult to do though.
You would need a huge chrony for that
@@CAPTAiNC yeah, I wouldn't try a traditional Caldwell type, but maybe a LabRadar or the new FX chrony that's coming out.
Почему здесь ещё нет миллиона лайков? Это реально круто
Wow...
This was a shorter version of the movie October Sky. Well done.
2:10 rollerons perhaps?
The torque vanes work, just need to optimize fin deployment and increase specs for more consistency
@@elwildo14 nice!
This shits so badass
Can smb nice rocketed fit in that
This is fucking awesome.
Any plans to sell the files in the future?
Are these real...?
I checked, but all I found were toys and not many images of active and real ones...
I bitch about this country all the time but god damn I love America
now you just need to work on a smokeless motor and a live payload and ur golden
Nice 👍
What composition was used for the rocket motors? Was is something similar to APCP or something completely different?
Yes it’s apcp
I want one!!
Hi，may I know the color of the body and the launcher tubes？
Git 'er duuuun.
Nice work.
they said it could not be done
Please release plans or a book of this good lord
theres no way the propellant is flash?
Please Collaborate with Ordnance Lab
I think those m202 rockets cannot explode, am I right? Because of legal issues?
Yeah completely inert due to NFA regulations
@Wild Arms Research and Development
Then may I know is it possible for us to make those m202 rockets become explosive? Of course I do not want anyone to violate the law, I just feel curious…
@@zengyuchen2226 Look up what the M74 rockets were filled with. Thickened Pyrophoric Agent (aka Satan's corn syrup) is not something you want anywhere near you without extensive personal protective equipment, proper fire extinguishing apparatus, and ideally a good pair of running shoes in case something goes wrong. And it almost always does, on a long enough timeline.
If you aren't familiar with the main ingredient, triethylaluminium (TEA), it's a rather nasty pyrophoric compound that is hypergolic with water, your skin, liquid oxygen, or just about any oxidizer you can think of. The stuff doesn't need to be lit with a spark--it will spontaneously ignite on contact with air. The M74 rocket filler was thickened with polyisobutane to give it that gooey napalm stickiness we all know and love, and it burned at 1600 deg C--hotter than napalm. If you found a way to mix in some chlorine trifluoride without it reacting with the TEA, you'd potentially have an incendiary agent that is nigh impossible to extinguish with any known means since ClF3 will even ignite sand and asbestos.
Incidentally, the US military was also testing a crowd-control variant of M72, which, of course would *not* have been loaded with rockets filled with TPA. That said, splattering an unruly mob with pyrophoric syrup would disperse a riot quite rapidly.
In short, an M74's payload combines everything we love about napalm with the toxicity and pyrophoricity of white phosphorus. And since those rockets, like all military equipment, were manufactured by the lowest bidder, the rockets themselves had the unfortunate and rather frightening propensity to leak after some time in storage.
Is the next work a javelin?😅
Where can I get one?
There’s very few on the second hand market, this one is mainly 3d printed
Okay where do I get files etc because this has been a boyhood dream
Where are the files?
Where do I get friends like this?
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
are the files public or nahhhhhhh?
No relation to Wild Arms, the Japanese game series by Media Vision, Inc.
Yeah we are our own company, Wild Arms Research and development LLC
Wild is my last name so was fitting to use it in my company name
payload?
Just chalk for legal reasons
rocket launchere unknown
What song name please
Outro M83
Literally builds rockets, but doesn't know the difference between to and too.
guess there gonna be another book ;D
yeah but like it totally wouldnt work ever even though you showed a video of it working because of tension forces or whatever that one guy said on twitter lmao
