Actually, Indian Military tried rocket assisted take off for their fighter in Himalayan bases. It was in 80 or 90s I guess. Fun fact the guy who lead the program became president of the country. Our beloved Rocket Man.
Imagine if it were implemented as a trailer emergency assist management system, (teams) that if the trailer got out of control while driving and over corrected causing the infamous death swerves then a rocket shoots off timed with inertia pushing the trailer straight again....
@@KD_Puvvadi By the way, this is not a new idea. During World War II, the Germans use rockets to launch their jet planes. The reason for this was that aircraft like the Messerschmitt 262 had to be started at full throttle without rocket support, which has extremely shortened the life of the jet engines.
Iron oxide, or other iron containing compounds like ferrocene, can accelerate the burn rate far in excess of any reduction in particle size of the ammonium perchlorate. The reason is that the rate limiting step is the decomposition of AP to perchloric acid, and this is ultimately limited by the fact that the AP forms a liquid layer on the burning surface, so smaller and smaller particles of AP don't help you past a point. This is why ferrocene can be much more effective than Fe2O3, as the iron it contains can mix in with the molten AP at a molecular level, rather than the molten AP being broken down over the surface of iron oxide particles (and iron containing plasma...)

Cutting of cardboard tubes: my method is easy and very effective - I use a small pipe cutter with a very sharp cutter wheel and a wooden dowel which fits closely in the cardboard tube to prevent it from being crushed. Works perfectly, quickly and is very safe.
Cardboard tube and cutter with an Aluminium pipe-support works. Also followed by polyester-resin, and/or polyester-resin and glass-fiber wrap, etc; surprisingly strong and light. And cast nozzles with 'clay' additives are good. I pre-cast 'thread' in the inside of the ends of the tube, using a tapered threaded pipe nipple as a former when making the tube (use a 'putty'-like filler such as car-body filler). I cast the cores in place using a polished brass rod, with a thin waxed paper wrap over a sugar-paper sleeve; the sugar-paper allows for the contraction of the setting casting, the core rod pulls out and then the sugar-paper peels out by twisting it, and any wax-paper (if it stick) burns away almost instantly on ignition. No 'drilling'. Once set up it's all fast/easy/clean/cheap. Ceramic paper is available but I've not used it, yet.

Cannot explain how thankful i am for content like this. The freedom with which you give away hard earned knowledge is inspiring. I wish there were more channels and people like this. I am confident that your audience will grow as more people discover your content.
"...and if you are stupid..." :D well said when explaining about disposing of potentially dangerous epoxy and other waste. Some lessons just don't sink in, if toned down too much. Unexpectedly made my day :)
Best science channel I have ever seen.... and I watch a LOT of science channels! I learn more from your random side comments and explanations than I do from most 15 minute videos here on YT! Please never stop doing this! :-)
@@niceandlignt In the US it's 100% legal. There are air space regulations in some places, but those only apply if you're launching them into the air (or above a certain altitude).
I sure could have used you a couple years ago. I was helping my son with a science experiment. We were making rocket engines with household products. I tried adding a little charcoal, thought it would do some good. Luckily we practiced safety. We setup all the lab equipment and the cameras. We had a remote to ignite the rocket. We were behind an earthen hill. When ignited, after about 1/2 second it exploded. Neighbor came running out, the neighborhood started sending emails. I told the neighbor we were trying to make a rocket motor and the nozzle was too small. Wife actually came out and threatened to call the police on me. It was heard a mile away. I took the film, and looked at each frame, and calculated the parts were flying away over 100 MPH. A lot over. It was plastic, and we were shielded by trees. YES , BE SAFE. Not only from the experiment, but from spouse too. It was fun until then. I sure could have used your help.
Thank you for the amazing content. I love all that you do. From speakers to rockets to air conditioned computer cooling. I really appreciate the details too, even if I don't understand it all right away, it makes it much more accessible to look things up.
No exaggeration, favorite youtube channel. The fact that content like this is free blows my mind. Also really REALLY appreciate the notes about safety and proper disposal of all materials involved. Too many people gloss over those details and it can be catastrophic, even with something as benign appearing as epoxy.
I found when making BATES grains for rocket motors, using a wooden dowel coated in lithium grease worked very well to keep the core surface smooth. You just have to let the propellant cool a little bit before removing the dowel. Having a core guide is also immensely helpful!
I would love to see you see up and keep a marine aquarium with high end corals. With your enthusiasm for knowledge and chemistry, and conveying those through youtube I think it would make an amazing long term series.
Seriously love the level of detail put on to these videos... you would think an hour would be long and boring but I was stuck to the screen the whole time! Never even bothered looking at my phone. Keep up the good work!
Love ‘em!! I saw how long the video was and couldn’t have been happier. Over an hour with you all is a privilege and a pleasure. Thanks for all the hard work you put in.
Shit, I didn't realize how long that video actually was. Tech Ingredients is one of the few channels where I find I'm not only highly focused on the content (I'm usually multi-tasking) but can also completely lose track of time.
I would really enjoy a video where you talk about whatever it is that you did before TH-cam. Clearly it's some stuff that you likely can't talk about. I love watching you work and can't thank you enough for making your videos. In my opinion, you are the best science communicator operating today.
@@TechIngredients Can you experiment with thermite mix’s when ever you have time , something I been trying to do but no one has a good video explaining how it works
When I saw that the length of the video was over 1 hour, I thought I'd write to say that it's too long, and that people won't watch it. By the time I'm writing this, I've finished watching it.... Fascinating stuff!! Great work! Love this channel!
I really love this channel, 55mins before they get to "using our rockets" from the title ... the rest of youtube is clickbait and these guys drop an hour of knowledge no problem
This might come off as a little shameless, but can we have an update on these projects: HHO Shaped Charge(I know you still might me making the trench) Different types of composites 13000 watt generator Composite body armour The drone Hydrogen Pulse Detonation Engine Explosive wire
Sad to say, but I think the 13kW generator might have been shelved along with the drone it was for. That said, I fully intend to steal the idea at some point for a man carrying drone type vehicle.
I second this. I wouldnt get your hope's up over the HHO shaped charge thing though. Its probably been shelved permanently over the questionable legality, as well as the fairly low VOD of HHO making a shaped charge almost impossible.
I need to thank you. I'm a retired and unfortunately disabled 52-year-old who discovered your channel last year. With only basic high school and college chemistry, you generated more interest than anybody else ever did. I've been trying to learn basic chemistry all over again and have progressed a bit and collected quite a bit of lab equipment and I think I should be a Skylighter poster boy. The more I learn, the more I need to learn. In this same way, I became a senior software developer, beginning 20 years ago. I have that same drive and excitement for learning the science behind the pretty fireballs. Luckily, my wife understands and my children have that same incredible passion when they take an interest; They have 100% focus and its impossible to tear them away from it or even get their attention. Mama didn't understand it for a long time, butI sure did and now we encourage it wholeheartedly. You put me on this new path, so thank you!
man i love this content , for some one that cannot get ahold of this stuff in my country , im looking forward to the hybrid rockets , and maybe in the future watch you guys build a liquid , keep up the great content
I remember 'grasping' differential pressure propulsion and lift. It was on a late watch admiring the first F-4 Phantom I had ever seen up close (yes, "admiring", it was a record shattering legend in front of me which was being phased out.). The chief in charge came up and asked if I knew how it 'flew'. One of the most memorable conversations of my life ensued... I knew the theories, but to have someone "walk" me through the physics with a real life example actually transformed my conceptions. Please keep up the good work. Enjoying your content, TI
Try using a plastic straw with a sealed end. In theory you wouldn’t have to remove it, your igniter would just need to be strong enough to melt through It and light the propellant. Then the straw just burns away
If Mythbusters would have ever gone to college, they would have found their myths solved in the problems at the end of the chapters in their mechanical engineering and physics books. Seriously.
i love that you aren't afraid to put out this info, and that you aren't censoring anything. I would just carry on until the DOE or DOD asks you to stop. This kind of chemistry is important, and its important for the public to have access to it. We are already at a point where an average person can put a satellite in orbit (with great difficulty), so its important for public knowledge to be increased to avoid catastrophic failures. Maybe i just have rose tinted glasses for the future, but i expect to see home made multi stage rockets putting micro satellites in stable orbit.
Such a great video! So much good info and good edits. Honestly the only thing missing is some B roll footage or some close up stills of the construction process, but that is more of a nit pick. I really want my niece to watch these vids and dream of being a rocket scientist or engineer.
😲😲!! HOLY S*#T is a understatement! I mean the rocket grains speak for themselves. The recipe for the whole project is top notch. PLUS in the format of a damn near full feature professional film! Never enough of what your crew produce outta that lab.
Would have liked to see all the thrust profiles on one graph at the end, or side by side. Also, any significant difference in final weight of the difference mixes?
Total impulse should be measured in N*s. You are integrating over the time here right? Also makes sense since N*s = kg * m/s in Si units. This is mass times velocity which is an impulse!
I have a suggestion for a possible future experiment: When making carbon fiber, kevlar, fiberglass or some other composite material... What would happen if you tried to turn the binding epoxy into aerogel? [EDIT: Nevermind, just saw your response to this question when I asked two weeks ago. But keep reading!] On a related note, here is something else that I would love to see you explore some day. *(Wall of text warning.)* Different allotropes of carbon can be merged, enabling you to combine useful their properties into a single material. Here are some of my favorite examples: - Carbon Nanobuds: These are literally carbon nanotubes with fullerenes stuck to them, giving you some of the amazing physical properties of both parent allotropes. - Graphenated Carbon Nanotubes: These are carbon nanotubes fused with sheets of graphene, which not only enables you to get the useful electrical properties of both materials (great for making battey-capacitor hybrids), but may also potentially allow you to have a 3D block of graphene without it just turning into graphite, as the sheets are effectively held together with 'ropes' instead of being allowed to slide past eachother. - Graphene Carbon Fiber: Not really an allotrope per se, but the addition of graphene to the PAN when producing carbon fiber makes for a stronger and stiffer end result, while also requiring less energy. - Aerographene: Again, not necessarily an allotrope, but it is possible to turn graphene into an aerogel. The end result is a material that is up to 7 times lighter than air (though it doesn't float because of its porousity), and is a good thermal insulator while still being an excellent electrical conductor. It's still aerogel however, and as such it can be rather delicate. I wonder if you could combine aerographene, graphenated carbon nanotubes, carbon buds and carbon fiber into a single material that is both lighter and stronger than traditional carbon fiber. In order to truly do such a material justice, however, you will also need the right kind of binder. I get the feeling that the stuff that is most often used in carbon fiber is just too mundane and general purpose, and would probably hold this hypothetical material back from reaching its true potential. Then again, I don't have any experience, just fast access to knowledge. So I very well could be talking completely out of my ass.
I like the idea of the hybrid motor. I've seen the ones running nitrous oxide with a solid fuel. Other than solid fuel there is really no other choice for hobbyists. Cryo it way too complicated. Thanks for the entertaining videos..
@@TechIngredients Hybrids are the worst of both worlds (at least on hobby scale), once you make the effort to go towards hybrids you might as well try a proper liquid engine, although this probably warrants making a real combustion chamber. There are lots of cheap (to buy and to work with) fuels, many with reasonable boiling point temperatures ex. propane or butane
@@dandan-gf4jk I'm more referring to cryo fuels like LOX and LH. Not butane or peroxide. They're on the weak side as far as thrust or specific impulse.
Loved this episode. I used to build rockets in my teens. I was always afraid of heating the mix to melt it, so I just mixed the chemicals in water, soaked paper towels, wrapped them around a removable core, and dried them in the sun. I used sugar and potassium perchlorate IIRC. Worked pretty well, but it was very hygroscopic. BTW, one useful tip when using hot melt glue. Just put a little ethanol under the joint, and it will release right away. The surface tension of ethanol is very low and it just gets under the seal causing it to come apart.
This question is part humor, part morbid curiosity, and partly legal...how many of those things can you fire off at the same time before people in suits show up? I know in previous video's you mentioned the maximum size a single hobby rocket a person can use in the US was, but could you say set off 10 at once, 100 at once legally? Because if so, I'd like to see that trailer fly :P (assuming it's even possible to do it safely lol)
I would guess 2, that is two per rocket, basin that on the following;. "Any model rocket using a single motor greater than 160 Newton-seconds of total impulse, or multiple motors with a total thrust of 320 Newton-seconds, is propelled by a combination of motors having a total of more than 125 grams (4.4 ounces) of propellant weight, or weighs more than 1500 grams (53 ounces) with motors installed, is classified as a high power rocket under National Fire Protection Association Standard 1127." Of course I don't think there's any law written telling you how many rockets you can strap to your back, ...I mean back of your trailer 😜. Also those are the limits without certification, I expect making a flying trailer might cause you to lose certification. That doesn't mean that for sure but I'm telling you if I was in charge you would!
@@petevenuti7355 the fact the language exists in the first place tells me I am claerly NOT the first person to ask the question lol! Thanks for the info!
In one word , MARVELOUS!!! in two words , ROCKET Scientist. In 3 words . You together ROCk! Andy Muller The Netherlands. Where even small rockets are forbidden 🚫, because some idiots abuse this. So it is a sheer delight to see the expertise, craftsmanship and the use of the right chemicals are demonstrated in the right way and a sparkling show.
"The only thing that generates more heat in combustion that aluminium is boron" to paraphrase. You speak these words and I immediately get flashbacks to 'Ignition!' by John D Clark.
Fantastic motors! Really beautiful burns. As usual, your in depth explanations and attention to detail and precision ("neatness counts") make your videos must see viewing for anyone with a love of applied science. Can’t wait for your next one.

I watch at 2x & using skip 5 button to zoom through faster since he goes at a slow metered rate so that everyone can listen & make sense while others can get the info quickly even with the great detailed information / you can always watch slower a second time if you plan to repeat what you are seeing him do here //
@@AaronSchwarz42 I like his speed, I know much of this, I watch for entertainment.
How is this channel not over 1M subs!? 👍👍👍
Its extremely technical. They should do shorts to attract more viewers.
This is the best most useful and informative channel that exists in the whole platform
Cannot explain how thankful i am for content like this. The freedom with which you give away hard earned knowledge is inspiring. I wish there were more channels and people like this. I am confident that your audience will grow as more people discover your content.
"imagine to be a youtuber and doing this stuff"
well, id say it is
"imagine doing whatever is fun for you and making a living on it on youtube"
That pretty much sums up my job - Blowing up stuff, getting paid for it, putting it on TH-cam and getting paid for it a second time!
That's what school is supposed to be like.
"...and if you are stupid..." :D well said when explaining about disposing of potentially dangerous epoxy and other waste. Some lessons just don't sink in, if toned down too much. Unexpectedly made my day :)
With Epoxy the lessons may not sink in but they will stick to be sure,lol.
I can always count on Tech Ingredients for the highest quality content. Thank you for what you do.
Best science channel I have ever seen.... and I watch a LOT of science channels! I learn more from your random side comments and explanations than I do from most 15 minute videos here on YT! Please never stop doing this! :-)
This man just said they're working on torpedoes?? lmao this is why I love this channel
No, not torpedoes, just *underwater rockets*. There's no law against underwater rockets...
@@Nuovoswiss Would you have to register such a device with any agencies or administrations?
@@richardsuckerson49 Only if it was loaded with an explosive payload weighing more than half an ounce (might be a quarter ounce, I forget).
What's the legality of this rocketry
@@niceandlignt In the US it's 100% legal. There are air space regulations in some places, but those only apply if you're launching them into the air (or above a certain altitude).
"you can start your BBQ with these, the smell of chorine goes quite quickly"... LOL, spat coffee all over my keyboard.
He's not kidding though, they really are great for starting BBQs lol, especially if it's a bit rainy.
My admiration is on so many levels for these videos. The thought about what other people would go through and the helpful advice. Just....awesome.
The passion of the teacher & eloquence of delivery are why I am definitely subscribed.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
We'll do our best.
I sure could have used you a couple years ago. I was helping my son with a science experiment. We were making rocket engines with household products. I tried adding a little charcoal, thought it would do some good. Luckily we practiced safety. We setup all the lab equipment and the cameras. We had a remote to ignite the rocket. We were behind an earthen hill. When ignited, after about 1/2 second it exploded. Neighbor came running out, the neighborhood started sending emails. I told the neighbor we were trying to make a rocket motor and the nozzle was too small. Wife actually came out and threatened to call the police on me. It was heard a mile away. I took the film, and looked at each frame, and calculated the parts were flying away over 100 MPH. A lot over. It was plastic, and we were shielded by trees. YES , BE SAFE. Not only from the experiment, but from spouse too. It was fun until then. I sure could have used your help.
You're the instructor I wish I had for every class I've taken. I love learning while watching you have fun!
Thank you for the amazing content. I love all that you do. From speakers to rockets to air conditioned computer cooling.
I really appreciate the details too, even if I don't understand it all right away, it makes it much more accessible to look things up.
Sure.
No exaggeration, favorite youtube channel. The fact that content like this is free blows my mind. Also really REALLY appreciate the notes about safety and proper disposal of all materials involved. Too many people gloss over those details and it can be catastrophic, even with something as benign appearing as epoxy.
I found when making BATES grains for rocket motors, using a wooden dowel coated in lithium grease worked very well to keep the core surface smooth. You just have to let the propellant cool a little bit before removing the dowel. Having a core guide is also immensely helpful!
I would love to see you see up and keep a marine aquarium with high end corals. With your enthusiasm for knowledge and chemistry, and conveying those through youtube I think it would make an amazing long term series.
Seriously love the level of detail put on to these videos... you would think an hour would be long and boring but I was stuck to the screen the whole time! Never even bothered looking at my phone. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, we will!
The exclamations of joyful amazement at what the host has wrought are infectious. Excellent work.
Gives you an appreciation for how much fuel must be packed into the Shuttle's solid rocket boosters. Insane!
lol total booster weight ~84 tonnes - each. - a whole other scale..
@@kadmow That's the weight while empty. 589 metric tons when full! Even harder to comprehend.
Love ‘em!! I saw how long the video was and couldn’t have been happier. Over an hour with you all is a privilege and a pleasure. Thanks for all the hard work you put in.
Shit, I didn't realize how long that video actually was. Tech Ingredients is one of the few channels where I find I'm not only highly focused on the content (I'm usually multi-tasking) but can also completely lose track of time.
I would really enjoy a video where you talk about whatever it is that you did before TH-cam. Clearly it's some stuff that you likely can't talk about. I love watching you work and can't thank you enough for making your videos. In my opinion, you are the best science communicator operating today.
I just wanted to say that you are dad goals and I love your channel. Thanks for all you do
I just love this shit. I would love to feel the energy standing next to it.
Heyy it’s been almost 6 weeks, I got worried when I didn’t see a post for a while.
Great video !
Thank you for the best explanations.
Thanks and your welcome!
@@TechIngredients Can you experiment with thermite mix’s when ever you have time , something I been trying to do but no one has a good video explaining how it works
When I saw that the length of the video was over 1 hour, I thought I'd write to say that it's too long, and that people won't watch it. By the time I'm writing this, I've finished watching it.... Fascinating stuff!! Great work! Love this channel!
I really love this channel, 55mins before they get to "using our rockets" from the title ... the rest of youtube is clickbait and these guys drop an hour of knowledge no problem
This might come off as a little shameless, but can we have an update on these projects:
HHO Shaped Charge(I know you still might me making the trench)
Different types of composites
13000 watt generator
Composite body armour
The drone
Hydrogen Pulse Detonation Engine
Explosive wire
Sad to say, but I think the 13kW generator might have been shelved along with the drone it was for. That said, I fully intend to steal the idea at some point for a man carrying drone type vehicle.
@@jamesburleson1916 I have the goddamn same idea
A little more transparency or a couple update videos would go along way. Channel is simply to great to be so little trafficked.
I second this. I wouldnt get your hope's up over the HHO shaped charge thing though. Its probably been shelved permanently over the questionable legality, as well as the fairly low VOD of HHO making a shaped charge almost impossible.
@@motosk8er2 they said they were digging a trench, so maybe they'll do it. Maybe they'll not. Idk
On the outro there... seeing the same nitrous solenoids i run on my car plumbed into a rocket engine... hell ya. Nitrous oxide rockets. Thats awesome.
I need to thank you.
I'm a retired and unfortunately disabled 52-year-old who discovered your channel last year. With only basic high school and college chemistry, you generated more interest than anybody else ever did.
I've been trying to learn basic chemistry all over again and have progressed a bit and collected quite a bit of lab equipment and I think I should be a Skylighter poster boy.
The more I learn, the more I need to learn.
In this same way, I became a senior software developer, beginning 20 years ago. I have that same drive and excitement for learning the science behind the pretty fireballs. Luckily, my wife understands and my children have that same incredible passion when they take an interest; They have 100% focus and its impossible to tear them away from it or even get their attention. Mama didn't understand it for a long time, butI sure did and now we encourage it wholeheartedly.
You put me on this new path, so thank you!
Really enjoy and appreciate your hard work, clarity and quality of the videos you've created here on TH-cam. Thanks
Great work as always. I feel like the editing and camerawork have gotten even better, very impressive.
man i love this content , for some one that cannot get ahold of this stuff in my country , im looking forward to the hybrid rockets , and maybe in the future watch you guys build a liquid , keep up the great content
Really appreciate the extra info cards. I know looking it up on the internet is easy but often we plan it for later and never do.
I remember 'grasping' differential pressure propulsion and lift. It was on a late watch admiring the first F-4 Phantom I had ever seen up close (yes, "admiring", it was a record shattering legend in front of me which was being phased out.). The chief in charge came up and asked if I knew how it 'flew'. One of the most memorable conversations of my life ensued... I knew the theories, but to have someone "walk" me through the physics with a real life example actually transformed my conceptions. Please keep up the good work. Enjoying your content, TI
These vids remind me of an amped up modern version of Mr. Wizard.
Mr Wizard sparked my love for science as a child.
Reminds me of Grant Thompson.
@@1123pawel except way smarter. :)
@@tysondeal4369 Both equally dead unfortunately.
@@tysondeal4369 mine too. One of the reasons I became an engineer.
Try using a plastic straw with a sealed end. In theory you wouldn’t have to remove it, your igniter would just need to be strong enough to melt through It and light the propellant. Then the straw just burns away
You were as delighted with the result as we were! Love it.
Love the new funny arrows post edit. Informative, fun video, worth the wait.
Seems like you could fabricate the core tube cutting jig to also be a drill guide. 2 in 1 tool for the home gamer.
I was thinking something similar but maybe putting a model on thingiverse or something so home DIYers could print it out...
Scrape the sides of the cup!! That drove me crazy.
He did. And he has covered that in previous videos. But they cut out the stirring since it is relatively boring to watch and already a long video.
these slo-mo shots in the end with that music are just amazing lol
I don’t think there is another DIY channel on youtube at this level of quality.
Thanks!
Me: My Trailer is stuck, how will I get it free?
Smarter Every Day: Snatchblock!
Tech Ingredients: Rockets!
This feels like the TV show "Mythbusters" went to college, and I love it. Keep it up!
If Mythbusters would have ever gone to college, they would have found their myths solved in the problems at the end of the chapters in their mechanical engineering and physics books. Seriously.
loved every second of the video, cried of joy with the peter schilling major tom alussion.
i love that you aren't afraid to put out this info, and that you aren't censoring anything. I would just carry on until the DOE or DOD asks you to stop. This kind of chemistry is important, and its important for the public to have access to it. We are already at a point where an average person can put a satellite in orbit (with great difficulty), so its important for public knowledge to be increased to avoid catastrophic failures. Maybe i just have rose tinted glasses for the future, but i expect to see home made multi stage rockets putting micro satellites in stable orbit.
Such a great video! So much good info and good edits. Honestly the only thing missing is some B roll footage or some close up stills of the construction process, but that is more of a nit pick. I really want my niece to watch these vids and dream of being a rocket scientist or engineer.
There goes my productivity this morning!
😲😲!! HOLY S*#T is a understatement!
I mean the rocket grains speak for themselves. The recipe for the whole project is top notch.
PLUS in the format of a damn near full feature professional film!
Never enough of what your crew produce outta that lab.
Really love your varied projects. An hour goes by and I barely notice....
Would have liked to see all the thrust profiles on one graph at the end, or side by side. Also, any significant difference in final weight of the difference mixes?
Total impulse should be measured in N*s. You are integrating over the time here right? Also makes sense since N*s = kg * m/s in Si units. This is mass times velocity which is an impulse!
Amazing work. Love the step-by-step walkthroughs!
I have a suggestion for a possible future experiment:
When making carbon fiber, kevlar, fiberglass or some other composite material... What would happen if you tried to turn the binding epoxy into aerogel?
[EDIT: Nevermind, just saw your response to this question when I asked two weeks ago. But keep reading!]
On a related note, here is something else that I would love to see you explore some day. *(Wall of text warning.)*
Different allotropes of carbon can be merged, enabling you to combine useful their properties into a single material. Here are some of my favorite examples:
- Carbon Nanobuds: These are literally carbon nanotubes with fullerenes stuck to them, giving you some of the amazing physical properties of both parent allotropes.
- Graphenated Carbon Nanotubes: These are carbon nanotubes fused with sheets of graphene, which not only enables you to get the useful electrical properties of both materials (great for making battey-capacitor hybrids), but may also potentially allow you to have a 3D block of graphene without it just turning into graphite, as the sheets are effectively held together with 'ropes' instead of being allowed to slide past eachother.
- Graphene Carbon Fiber: Not really an allotrope per se, but the addition of graphene to the PAN when producing carbon fiber makes for a stronger and stiffer end result, while also requiring less energy.
- Aerographene: Again, not necessarily an allotrope, but it is possible to turn graphene into an aerogel. The end result is a material that is up to 7 times lighter than air (though it doesn't float because of its porousity), and is a good thermal insulator while still being an excellent electrical conductor. It's still aerogel however, and as such it can be rather delicate.
I wonder if you could combine aerographene, graphenated carbon nanotubes, carbon buds and carbon fiber into a single material that is both lighter and stronger than traditional carbon fiber.
In order to truly do such a material justice, however, you will also need the right kind of binder. I get the feeling that the stuff that is most often used in carbon fiber is just too mundane and general purpose, and would probably hold this hypothetical material back from reaching its true potential.
Then again, I don't have any experience, just fast access to knowledge. So I very well could be talking completely out of my ass.
I clicked like twice, only to notice that it unlikes the video when doing that. So i clicked three times :)
Interesting. So to like the video you have to click "like" 2N+1 times where N is zero or a positive integer.
How does youtube decide which videos to close caption, I can not think of a better channel to have that service available
Oh what fun! Sparks in the night, rocket's bright! Love it!
As a kid, my father and I loved model rockets. Now in my early 60’s this really makes me smile. Thanks
I like the idea of the hybrid motor.
I've seen the ones running nitrous oxide with a solid fuel. Other than solid fuel there is really no other choice for hobbyists. Cryo it way too complicated.
Thanks for the entertaining videos..
That's next.
I think you can use peroxide.
Liquid fuel rockets are definitely practical for the hobbyist.
@@TechIngredients Hybrids are the worst of both worlds (at least on hobby scale), once you make the effort to go towards hybrids you might as well try a proper liquid engine, although this probably warrants making a real combustion chamber. There are lots of cheap (to buy and to work with) fuels, many with reasonable boiling point temperatures ex. propane or butane
@@dandan-gf4jk I'm more referring to cryo fuels like LOX and LH. Not butane or peroxide. They're on the weak side as far as thrust or specific impulse.
Does the water of crystallization (in sugar or Sorbitol) play any part in further reducing the thermodynamic efficiency of the sugar-based rocket?
Possibly a little.
Loved this episode. I used to build rockets in my teens. I was always afraid of heating the mix to melt it, so I just mixed the chemicals in water, soaked paper towels, wrapped them around a removable core, and dried them in the sun. I used sugar and potassium perchlorate IIRC. Worked pretty well, but it was very hygroscopic. BTW, one useful tip when using hot melt glue. Just put a little ethanol under the joint, and it will release right away. The surface tension of ethanol is very low and it just gets under the seal causing it to come apart.
How does this channel not have 1M subscribers yet? This channel is freaking awesome!
Always enjoy your videos but dang there sure a lot of ad breaks these days.
This question is part humor, part morbid curiosity, and partly legal...how many of those things can you fire off at the same time before people in suits show up? I know in previous video's you mentioned the maximum size a single hobby rocket a person can use in the US was, but could you say set off 10 at once, 100 at once legally? Because if so, I'd like to see that trailer fly :P (assuming it's even possible to do it safely lol)
I would guess 2, that is two per rocket, basin that on the following;.
"Any model rocket using a single motor greater than 160 Newton-seconds of total impulse, or multiple motors with a total thrust of 320 Newton-seconds, is propelled by a combination of motors having a total of more than 125 grams (4.4 ounces) of propellant weight, or weighs more than 1500 grams (53 ounces) with motors installed, is classified as a high power rocket under National Fire Protection Association Standard 1127."
Of course I don't think there's any law written telling you how many rockets you can strap to your back, ...I mean back of your trailer 😜.
Also those are the limits without certification, I expect making a flying trailer might cause you to lose certification. That doesn't mean that for sure but I'm telling you if I was in charge you would!
@@petevenuti7355 the fact the language exists in the first place tells me I am claerly NOT the first person to ask the question lol! Thanks for the info!

I absolutely love your content. Concepts are made clear and following logically. Please keep these videos coming!
Just curious, what do your neighbors think of Starbase North?
The unit for impulse is N·s (says "total impulse = __ N" a lot, ahhaha)
Yea, those N's be hella impulsive, bruh.
"The only thing that generates more heat in combustion that aluminium is boron" to paraphrase. You speak these words and I immediately get flashbacks to 'Ignition!' by John D Clark.
