@@cucumber_999 the US placed land mines in several countries including Vietnam, Korea and Afghanistan, but mostly stopped using them in 1991. In 2014, the US set a policy limiting their use to Korea.

I think you could make the darts guided, you could have a larger/longer plastic shell with electronics and a tungsten penetration core. The guiding shell could even separate at a height of 30m or so and deploy a parachute or something if you wanted to make it cheaper.
@@F5cThunder not sure a guided dart is the same as a bomb… For example making guided missiles is obviously highly Illegal while making guided model rockets is absolutely okay.
@@F5cThunder I looked it up and it seems it depends on where you live. In some US States it’s even legal to make a full ballistic missile (without the warhead obviously). In other even the guided darts would be problematic. Most likely nobody would actually come after you for them, as long as you stay on private property. But I’d look up local laws before doing anything of this kind. I live in Germany and I’ve flown a guided model missile with a small payload (on private property with explicit permission from the owner) and nobody has come after me for that. So I think as long as you are taking proper safety precautions you’ll be fine.
Ey boi, use oil on your workpiece on the lathe while cutting steel, especially tool steel! Easiest is to just use a brush or squeeze bottle and constantly apply it to cool and lubricate it. You'll use way less bits up in the process! Love your stuff! You can absolutely use your lathe on anything, with proper coolant!
You need long, thin projectiles with a hard tip (like a tig welding tungsten) to punch through the bbq plate. Also, the long version would give it more accuracy as it's less likely to pivot mid fall
@@Ididathing you could also make an insert for a drill bit, as it's made of tool steel and is harder than regular steel. Kinda like a mini APFSDS round

You are a wonderful thing, IDAT. You are in equal parts concerning and entertaining. 11/10 would NOT recommend to safety inspectors, but would definitely recommend to friends.
By the way, the way most bombers keep their bombing accurate is by introducing forward momentum, but thats extremely complex. A computer would, however, be able to calculate the area that it *should* hit via equations, but even then, that's a lot of work, and this did pretty good regardless. There's a reason most drones aren't quad rotors. But fixed wings instead. (Mine defusal drones are four rotor, but they use explosives instead of a kinetic projectile.)
"I don't really know what this test showed" I think this test demonstrated that you have a device that can essentially drop bullets, which can go through metal and shatter a car windshield.
Flechettes were extensively used in the early days of military aviation during WW1 and hearing the noise that thing makes I now have to imagine the terror of sitting in a trench hearing steel rain strike next to you, going through metal roofs, bunkers and your comrades. Truly terrifying.
Your biggest issue here is accuracy, but you said it yourself: They used to throw out thousands of those things. Accuracy wasn't quite the goal, it's the amount of space covered by the deadly, metal hail. In other words: You just need to get a bigger drone, a bigger release mechinism for more payload, and test it on someone's nearby hometown. Or alternatively to a bigger drone with a large ammunition count, go for many small drones and atta- erm, experiment on the town with a swarm like a biblical plague.
Maybe a barrel of some type too, pvc pipe or if you wanna get super fancy a 3D printed one with rifling to maybe give it a bit of spin. Wouldn’t be much because it’s only gravity based but might help a lot

Hey by the way, it’d be a lot easier to cut the metal and make less noise too if you use hydraulic oil. I’m in CNC machining currently and that’s what we use
The DJI App for Controlling this drone has a Feature in its Camerasettings which Displays a White crosshair-like thingy on your phone Screen. If the Camera Shows Right down to the ground you can use it to aim. I did a similar „Experiment“ and actualy works pretty acurately (btw sry for my english im german)
Rough idea, but I think you can push the level of madness. Add a booster to the end that ignites when the projectile is approaching the ground, not too early so the trajectory won't spin out of control. A kinetic missile that ignites when it's above the target. Crude example: home made rocket fuel (check out "Homemade Rocket Fuel (R-Candy)" by TKOR) using sugar and stump remover, attached to the end of the projectile. Could have an electric cigarette lighter rigged to an Arduino that lights a fuse -> drops the projectile. This is all, of course, theoretical. Of course.
I'm surprised they don't just use racing drones with bombs firmly attached. A high quality FPV racing drone costs less than $1000. Strap a high explosive to it, fly it straight into your target, flip the switch, bam 100% accuracy. $1000 is a small price in military terms, and a well trained drone pilot can land one of those suckers on top of a car going down the highway at 60mph with very little chance of failure. Edit: FBI, I'm simply speculating on military capabilities, I do not intend to use this knowledge in any way shape or form. Please don't shoot my cats.
I agree with your description of soldering. I hate the fact that the slightest twitch in my hand can bump the end of the iron wide enough to move or dislodge whatever tiny component I'm trying to solder. I honestly wish I could buy a small robotic arm with a soldering tip on it that moved very slowly and smoothly, and just control it with a joystick.

I Did A Thing actually designing an attack drone that has now been battle tested in a warzone has gotta be in the top 10 things this channel has done lmao
I got detained at the airport with BB guns, they said that because you can't really distinguish them from real guns, people use them to hold up 7-11s and stuff.
most guns are designed to make the bullet spin when it flies out the barrel because that makes the projectile path more stable, if you want precision id put a slight angle on the fins so it starts spinning as it falls. along with a laser you could probably hit a watemelon from 100 meters
Look jerk. We only know if we're breaking the laws of someone decides to tell us the laws we're breaking. What do you want good content or drone laws? Hahahahhaha I imagine the laws broken is plentiful! Just don't tell us and we'll never know!
So, some extra context behind the US's "rods from God" concept: At the time, and to this day, there has been an international treaty meant to keep space "demilitarized," by banning things like nuclear weapons from being placed in orbit. However, one thing the treaty did not ban is kinetic weapons. This was because, at the time the treaty was signed, this wasn't even thought of as a possibility. After the treaty was signed, however, to anyone who wanted weapons in space, it became the only possibility. Both sides during the cold war did look into these kinds of weapons, since it would be a "loophole" that would allow them to place WMDs in orbit without violating the treaty. Thankfully, while they could find loopholes in the laws of man, they could not find one in the laws of physics. In order to drop a massive, heavy projectile on your enemy from orbit, you first must get it into orbit, a task that would make the Apollo missions look like a model rocket project. This, along with the development of better anti-satellite weapons, made such a project unfeasible. There has been renewed interest lately, however. Humanity is likely a few decades away from beginning mining in space, and if you build your projectiles in orbit, you circumvent the whole "how do I get this massive lawndart off the ground" issue. This, along with better stealth technology and anti-satellite weapon countermeasures, could make this kind of weapon viable, as a treaty-friendly orbital weapon of mass destruction.
In case you would like to revisit this idea later on: In order to increase accuracy and decrease tumbling you may try to shape the bolts differently. Necking down the bolts in the rear and adding bigger fins might just do the job. Basically imitating the classic dart form. Alternatively use just a 3- or 4-sided head stuck on a wooden or fiberglass rod with fins in the back (like a Bodkin-Arrow) could also be beneficial for accuracy, but might also increase the negative effect of the wind.

I did this with my Mavic. I used a 5v adafruit Trinket, I think a 5 gram servo, and a 200mah 2S battery, but I used a transistor wired directly into the drone’s LED wire to trigger it. Of all the things I dropped, water balloons filled with colored powder (like color run cornstarch-based powder) was the best. They explode upon impact and can easily be seen from the drone which makes dialing it in a lot easier.
I was thinking that exact-enough thought while walking about earlier . One of my favourite aussies , and its a long list . Fair Dinkum people they are .

adding heat treatment to your projectile material will vastly improve the indestructibleness of those sharp points. I work for a commercial heat treater in the states and process tons of materials like 1045 every day!
@@Luckeux That's cool! I think I watched one of those take out a car full of russian soldiers by dropping the payload into the sunroof of a car they were riding in.
Soldering advice: get some Flux. Most solder has a Flux core, but I always keep a Flux pen or tub of gel near. Clean the surfaces to be soldered, use a brass wire brush if needed. The Flux is acidic and eats the oxide layer, and also acts like a shield similar to welding gas. Try it. If your iron isn't temperature controlled, you may be too hot. However you may also be too cold. I often solder at 800ish Fahrenheit. This means you have to work faster, but you want to get the joint up to soldering temperature before the heat sinks to the rest of the part. Uhm a few more quick tips, add a tiny but of solder to the iron right as you start, use that to make contact with the surface/board/pad then add solder to the joint, not to the iron. Leave the iron for a couple seconds after. Hold things very still while cooling. A good solder joint has the solder flowing into the parts, not beading up. Super dull, pitted, cracked, or bulbous joints are bad. They will not conduct well if at all and could even cause heat/fire. Love your videos
I think the biggest problem is weight distribution. You want the fins to create drag yet be light, and you want the nose to be heavy. The weight in these darts was a bit too distributed. Thinning down the body toward the tail might help.
Balanced spinning things help accuracy. Unbalanced, it can tumble. I'm pretty sure that he'll never have the balance required, so fins providing straight drag are about as good as he's going to do. There is more physics involved too, with center of mass and center of pressure. The center of pressure should be behind the center of mass. I think he may be accomplishing that with the fins. But not enough to support a good spin.
You probably won't see this but you were soldering at way too high a temp. Try lowering the temp and holding the iron still against the desired location for 5-10 seconds before adding some flux core solder. That should fix your problem.
The components should also be on the opposite side. Stick them through and connect the ends with solder. Way more convenient and no chance of burning components by hitting them.

Idea: you should 3d print a whistle or noicemaker and glue them to the nose of the lazy darts so you could get a sort of a Stuka effect on the way down.
That might also cause flying plastic pieces near the landing site. I was thinking 3D printing fins as well, but for same reason, would need to also make a shield at control site.
Dude... The comment above you literally says - "Some Ukrainian drone operator is probably using your video as a reference when designing their own 'variations'."... Posted 2 months ago. Creepy AF
This *would* be accurate for well-timed grenades, though. Still, the pure kinetic kill was accurate enough for "proof of concept". He merely needed better guidance. With just a few more upgrades in technical quality, a single drone would be an accurate antipersonnel weapon.
Love this project enough to wonder if the reason for the "twitching" behavior on the servo was because the lights on the drone are pulse width modulated... Lights appear solid to the naked eye but actually switching on/off rapidly for brightness control. Could compensate for that in the arduino code, unless I'm way off base. Cool idea, and your vids are always tons of fun. Thanks for going through all the work to film and share!
No, actually it's because the moth used was no longer alive. A re-test with a live moth would yield significantly better servo-actuation. There's no need to try and impress us with fancy words.
it was doing the same thing with his phone flashlight, i think the more likely reason is janky code that moves the servo rather than open so when it has light it opens and still is light so it closes again etc etc

I think you could make the darts guided, you could have a larger/longer plastic shell with electronics and a tungsten penetration core. The guiding shell could even separate at a height of 30m or so and deploy a parachute or something if you wanted to make it cheaper.
Making guided bombs is VERY illegal
@@F5cThunder not sure a guided dart is the same as a bomb… For example making guided missiles is obviously highly Illegal while making guided model rockets is absolutely okay.
guided model rockets are kinda on the line with the law but since dart could be potentionally deadly im almost 100% sure that they would be illegal
@@F5cThunder I looked it up and it seems it depends on where you live. In some US States it’s even legal to make a full ballistic missile (without the warhead obviously). In other even the guided darts would be problematic. Most likely nobody would actually come after you for them, as long as you stay on private property. But I’d look up local laws before doing anything of this kind.
I live in Germany and I’ve flown a guided model missile with a small payload (on private property with explicit permission from the owner) and nobody has come after me for that. So I think as long as you are taking proper safety precautions you’ll be fine.

By the way, the way most bombers keep their bombing accurate is by introducing forward momentum, but thats extremely complex.
A computer would, however, be able to calculate the area that it *should* hit via equations, but even then, that's a lot of work, and this did pretty good regardless.
There's a reason most drones aren't quad rotors. But fixed wings instead.
(Mine defusal drones are four rotor, but they use explosives instead of a kinetic projectile.)
That sounds like it would be impossible on quad copters

Rough idea, but I think you can push the level of madness. Add a booster to the end that ignites when the projectile is approaching the ground, not too early so the trajectory won't spin out of control. A kinetic missile that ignites when it's above the target.
Crude example: home made rocket fuel (check out "Homemade Rocket Fuel (R-Candy)" by TKOR) using sugar and stump remover, attached to the end of the projectile. Could have an electric cigarette lighter rigged to an Arduino that lights a fuse -> drops the projectile.
This is all, of course, theoretical. Of course.

I'm surprised they don't just use racing drones with bombs firmly attached. A high quality FPV racing drone costs less than $1000. Strap a high explosive to it, fly it straight into your target, flip the switch, bam 100% accuracy. $1000 is a small price in military terms, and a well trained drone pilot can land one of those suckers on top of a car going down the highway at 60mph with very little chance of failure.

So, some extra context behind the US's "rods from God" concept:
At the time, and to this day, there has been an international treaty meant to keep space "demilitarized," by banning things like nuclear weapons from being placed in orbit. However, one thing the treaty did not ban is kinetic weapons. This was because, at the time the treaty was signed, this wasn't even thought of as a possibility. After the treaty was signed, however, to anyone who wanted weapons in space, it became the only possibility.
Both sides during the cold war did look into these kinds of weapons, since it would be a "loophole" that would allow them to place WMDs in orbit without violating the treaty. Thankfully, while they could find loopholes in the laws of man, they could not find one in the laws of physics. In order to drop a massive, heavy projectile on your enemy from orbit, you first must get it into orbit, a task that would make the Apollo missions look like a model rocket project. This, along with the development of better anti-satellite weapons, made such a project unfeasible.
There has been renewed interest lately, however. Humanity is likely a few decades away from beginning mining in space, and if you build your projectiles in orbit, you circumvent the whole "how do I get this massive lawndart off the ground" issue. This, along with better stealth technology and anti-satellite weapon countermeasures, could make this kind of weapon viable, as a treaty-friendly orbital weapon of mass destruction.
Ah yes nobody has weapons in space.... LoL!!! They are looking into it?
And then they lose control of the thing and it drops from orbit.
Faith in humanity has been eliminated. Thank you for your patronage.
you only have to redirect an object`s predicted orbital path to hit earth somewhere near your target which is the cheapest option
Better watch those starship payload carefully

In case you would like to revisit this idea later on: In order to increase accuracy and decrease tumbling you may try to shape the bolts differently.
Necking down the bolts in the rear and adding bigger fins might just do the job. Basically imitating the classic dart form.
Alternatively use just a 3- or 4-sided head stuck on a wooden or fiberglass rod with fins in the back (like a Bodkin-Arrow) could also be beneficial for accuracy, but might also increase the negative effect of the wind.
the darts did seem pretty fat and short especially with the little fins attached

Soldering advice: get some Flux. Most solder has a Flux core, but I always keep a Flux pen or tub of gel near. Clean the surfaces to be soldered, use a brass wire brush if needed. The Flux is acidic and eats the oxide layer, and also acts like a shield similar to welding gas.
Try it. If your iron isn't temperature controlled, you may be too hot. However you may also be too cold. I often solder at 800ish Fahrenheit. This means you have to work faster, but you want to get the joint up to soldering temperature before the heat sinks to the rest of the part.
Uhm a few more quick tips, add a tiny but of solder to the iron right as you start, use that to make contact with the surface/board/pad then add solder to the joint, not to the iron. Leave the iron for a couple seconds after. Hold things very still while cooling.
A good solder joint has the solder flowing into the parts, not beading up. Super dull, pitted, cracked, or bulbous joints are bad. They will not conduct well if at all and could even cause heat/fire.
Love your videos
Yesss
I read this as "soldiering advice" at first, and I was expecting some drone striking expertise
This is why I love a good Resin core solder. Avoids all this together
Edit: granted its still possible to fuck up but Resin is better for beginners.

You should have designed the dart fins so that it would spin on the way down. It would have greatly increased it's accuracy.
that was his first design...;)
Pretty sure spinning ammo with fins is actually less accurate, which is why MBTs have Smoothbore cannons and not rifled ones
@@ubi8439 Many MBTs shoot ammunition which spinns by itself.
I think the biggest problem is weight distribution. You want the fins to create drag yet be light, and you want the nose to be heavy. The weight in these darts was a bit too distributed. Thinning down the body toward the tail might help.
Balanced spinning things help accuracy. Unbalanced, it can tumble. I'm pretty sure that he'll never have the balance required, so fins providing straight drag are about as good as he's going to do.
There is more physics involved too, with center of mass and center of pressure. The center of pressure should be behind the center of mass. I think he may be accomplishing that with the fins. But not enough to support a good spin.
You probably won't see this but you were soldering at way too high a temp. Try lowering the temp and holding the iron still against the desired location for 5-10 seconds before adding some flux core solder. That should fix your problem.
The components should also be on the opposite side. Stick them through and connect the ends with solder. Way more convenient and no chance of burning components by hitting them.
@@TheJell3 That goes without saying, but you can get good results soldering the components in any orientation once you have the technique down.

This *would* be accurate for well-timed grenades, though. Still, the pure kinetic kill was accurate enough for "proof of concept". He merely needed better guidance. With just a few more upgrades in technical quality, a single drone would be an accurate antipersonnel weapon.

Love this project enough to wonder if the reason for the "twitching" behavior on the servo was because the lights on the drone are pulse width modulated... Lights appear solid to the naked eye but actually switching on/off rapidly for brightness control. Could compensate for that in the arduino code, unless I'm way off base. Cool idea, and your vids are always tons of fun. Thanks for going through all the work to film and share!
No, actually it's because the moth used was no longer alive. A re-test with a live moth would yield significantly better servo-actuation. There's no need to try and impress us with fancy words.
I too was wondering why it was pulsing, didn't realize it could be down to the actual light on the drone, learn something new every day
I think it's just due to how he coded it. The pulses of light are way way faster than that thing was opening and closing.
No way would it be reacting to PWM carrier frequencies. Just janky code
it was doing the same thing with his phone flashlight, i think the more likely reason is janky code that moves the servo rather than open so when it has light it opens and still is light so it closes again etc etc
