Back in the 2000's there was a guy in New Zealand who built a pulse-jet rocket using only parts ordered online. Supposedly it would fly up to 160km and deliver a 10kg "package". Apparently this guy took part in a British TV show called Scrapheap Challenge. He constructed a working pulse-jet out of scrap in about 10 hours. It was then attached to a kart that got up to 64km/h

@@BobaPhettamine It's also easy to make a torch using a lighter and a Febreze can, doesn't mean it will perform as well as an oxyacetylene kit. A pulse jet that can reach 64km/h and a whole *Switzerland* worth of range is nothing to sneeze at.
Super cool! Also dude I'm telling you, control roll with just one fin! It's so hard to get good roll precision while using all four fins and the pitch/yaw disturbances are basically zero for using 1
Thank you! I was playing around with slightly higher roll gains this flight and you can see the limit cycling towards apogee :( I’ll try using one fin for it next flight, should be fun to compare performance!
Excellent book. My area only covers a single chapter in this book. It does an excellent job of describing the fundamentals of ....something, but there is a LOT more that goes into that particular system and "how the sausage is really made".
The safety culture that armature rocketeers keep is really awesome. It reminds me of what the RC multirotor hobby was like before the uneducated got hold of drones from DJI and other companies, and governments quickly banned everything. That safety culture will keep the hobby alive and thriving for as long as it is maintained. You guys are awesome!
I agree that people fly where they aren't supposed to and that has caused a *ton* of issues for those of us who practice proper safety. But it's worth mentioning that not everything was perfect before the DJI influx. RC hardware and software has gotten sooo much better, safety-wise in the last few years. I remember a bunch of runaways, wrongly set failsafe modes with never to be seen again equipment, just straight up bugs in esc software, burning drones and whatnot. All the old timers that I know fly without prearm switches and even mentioning it gets met with scepticism. Some hand-launch or even hand-land their drones. It's just a hobby that tends to attract slightly insane people 😂
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
@@kiq4767 that's what I was implying. They know he can build this shit, so either accept a lockheed martin job offer, or spontaneously go on an extended vacation/impromptu "retirement"
Fins are incredibly difficult to use for rocket guidance because they give you an enormous power of steering in all axis. 1 degree off and your rocket will break under the high g forces… This rocket is a masterpiece!
In Germany for example, building an amateur rocket with any kind of control mechanism able to actively modify the flight path is illegal, and you'd get into very serious trouble for it (possibly jail time), because it's considered military weapons technology here. Kudos for including that section on laws and safety at the end of the video!
Anything sideways you'll have people at your door. Straight up and you can do some neat stuff without too many issues, assuming you clear everything with FFA above a certain level. I think it's sad that it's not encouraged in a safe manner. There's so much to be learned by tests like this
Actually the video is wrong in that regard. I know he said he checked multiple times, but there's this little thing called the USML, a part of the federal code of regulations. Normal model rockets are exempt from this because they rely on passive stability to maintain flight and are made of lightweight materials therefore are not a guided missile as defined within 22 CFR Part 121.1, category IV. The exclusion note specifically says model rockets shall not contain active control i.e. RF/GPS/etc. I work in aerospace for a living and we must abide by both ITAR for export purposes but also the USML as a categorical definition.
You and BPS Space need to talk, he’s building up to a space shot, some of your R&D would probably be useful. Also please post some sort of articles for fellow amateurs to implement and understand what you have built, please. I’d love to understand the electronics and code side of this better to basically do the same thing but with side mounted cameras. Not saying share code btw just understanding concepts and software language better in context to these sorts of things.
not at all. nothing state of the art about this. this is actually very archaic tech compared to what is current state of the art. We've had more advanced rocketry and missiles back in WW2.
i allways thought there was a reaons for youtube rockets to go only go up, i think youre reaaallyyy pushing the limit here, i love it i'm downloading this
"I am not supplying code, cad or PCB files for this project." BORING how else am I supposed to make ballistic weapons that can hit a fly a continent away????? Fund my own researchers???? Cringe.
My favorite part of your projects, especially compared to others, is that you are repeating the flights to some degree. For example the self-land projects all seem to never fly after the first successful landing. So I'm really glad to see you reach an objective then set a new related goal and keep flying that concept.
I am constantly impressed with how good off the shelf electronic hardware has become. Years ago and in another life, this would require an inertial navigation system so heavy this rocket could not lift it. Then MEMS systems get better and better and better as well as available to nearly anyone. Plus they weigh very little and a few other good things. Cool to see someone playing around and seeing whats possible. All the sam, mind your P's and Q's or the wrong people will take notice.
You’ve done an impressive job on this! In the olden days, there was a design called the Sun Seeker, which used a photocell to aim generally “up.” Not sophisticated, but it was in reach for amateurs with a soldering iron.
Holy crap I did not know you could casually just put step by step instructions on building a homemade guided missile on youtube and not get disappeared
Wait.... Are you saying the US State department & Pentagon In all actuality DO NOT sit at their desks watching BPS Space & Lafayette Systems TH-cam 🚀🚀 videos!? 😁😁😜😜😜
And many advanced technologies will not let you know. Just like Snowden's PRISM , it is basically impossible for you to know if it is not exposed. This is just nothing Intellectual freedom is not actually free, and is not freedom of speech.
I was at Muncie,on 4th flight,I have your video on my ch. Cool stuff back in the day we couldn't have Guidance due to 911. I'd love to print your rocket for my fun.
Damn I love your videos so much Pls keep it up btw, the AIM-9s have a control system, which are increaseing their control athority step by step after launch. Seems lke a good idea for Diamond-X as well
You have a Cool Channel and Project. I love those *_DIGI XBee radio Modems,_* I used a lot of the Digi modems, I started using them back when they were still called *_Maxstream_* long before Digi bought them. I used the frequency hopping spread spectrum, the direct sequence spread spectrum and the XBee. But I like the 900 MHz direct sequence the best. I used them the on my UAV's for the control links and data down links. On one trip to Australia while we were conducting test for the Australian Outback Rescue, we tracked one of our UAV’s over *_20 kilometers_* using a pair of one Watt 900 MHz Digi direct sequence spread spectrum modems. We were the first team to fly into and come back from the Outback Rescue search area. I used the direct sequence spread spectrum modems on my redundant spread spectrum R.C. link. I could configure a redundant system for *_900 MHz or 2.4 GHz or a combination of both 900 and 2.4._* I had the same issue the *_ITAR police,_* I was doing this in the late 1990's to mid 2000's I had all kinds of visitors from all kinds of 3 letter agencies. This was long before most people knew what a UAV or a drone was and I would get reported to these agencies on a regular basis. At first it was scary but after a while it became a pain in the ASS.
At time 7:27 accidental is misspelled…just minor thing. Love the full video, description, etc. What you have accomplished is what we dreamed of 60+ yrs ago…back when red one transistor radios with a white wired earpiece. to hear Sputnik beeps as it passed overhead.
put a photovoltaic sensor on the rocket body and point a laser to a know position in space so that its pierce point is on the waypoint trajectory. reference the simulated reference(from flight controller) to the triggered results detected from the laser. collect enough resulting differences at different positions to calculate the range of certainty. awesome build.
You should setup an algorithm verification pipeline which tests the control sw in sim everytime you make a change. It is a bit more work in the beginning but will pay thicc dividends in the end. Cheers!
People in the 90s: its rocket science. People in 2024: here is a youtube video about rocked guidance, open to the public, for free. Made by an amateur.
Instead of printing parts at 100% infill, print them with 99 walls (obviously that many walls won't actually print) - walls provide strength along the axis you need for the application of chute line anchor.
Do you think it could be helpful to check at the transition of Launch-Dir-Hold to Waypoint whether the angle or resulting force between the current trajectory and the predicted trajectory would exceed a threshold for safe maneuver?
Why did you choose to go for carbon fibre PC for that connection point on the avionics assembly? Adding fibre to a filament makes it stiffer but makes it slightly weaker and more brittle/lower impact resistance. For that piece you want a material with high strength and impact strength, but stiffness isn’t important from what I can see. Something like a TPU or polypropylene would likely be better here with polypropylene likely being the better choice although it is difficult to print.
We have been making "video" guided rockets and drones for the past 9 years using both visual and IR cameras and combined the two recently. No gps or rf jammers to worry about. 😂😂 I'm currently working on a multiple spectrum system now that combines many different spectrums to make them even more fail safe. 😊
The accuracy of this system is extremely impressive, even flight 5's late activation and missaligned roll was handled exceptionally. How did you tune everything? It seems hard to select good constants, but you also mention it does some calibration on initial lift off, does that help somehow?
Start encapsulating your 3d printed parts in carbon fiber/epoxy. Also, you can use CF sheets with 3d print parts to provide the 3d prints with more rigidity.
That dramatic failure footage was epic. I know it must have sucked, but that was spectacular. The slow-mo red parts flying buy after impact made me chuckle. Why are things comical in slow-mo?

This was long before most people knew what a UAV or a drone was and I would get reported to these agencies on a regular basis. At first it was scary but after a while it became a pain in the ASS.
Outstanding presentation of the system. Looking forward to Hatchet.
I remember when Mark Rober tried making something and someone in defense told him it was illegal to do so 😂
Stuff like this illustrates the changing nature of modern warfare.
The rocket knows where it is, by knowing where it isn’t
Awesome video as allways! 🥳
At time 7:27 accidental is misspelled…just minor thing. Love the full video, description, etc. What you have accomplished is what we dreamed of 60+ yrs ago…back when red one transistor radios with a white wired earpiece. to hear Sputnik beeps as it passed overhead.
put a photovoltaic sensor on the rocket body and point a laser to a know position in space so that its pierce point is on the waypoint trajectory. reference the simulated reference(from flight controller) to the triggered results detected from the laser. collect enough resulting differences at different positions to calculate the range of certainty. awesome build.
Child: Can we have an Iron Dome?
Mom: We have an iron dome at home.
What if your way point is moving like real life scenarios? Love this video and also the safety part.
You should setup an algorithm verification pipeline which tests the control sw in sim everytime you make a change.
It is a bit more work in the beginning but will pay thicc dividends in the end.
Cheers!
Great work so far! I can't wait to see the next few flights!
People in the 90s: its rocket science. People in 2024: here is a youtube video about rocked guidance, open to the public, for free. Made by an amateur.
Are you using Euler angles (rotated) or are you using quaternions to determine the current orientation of the rocket?
Sweet!
Probably getting real close to crossing some lines here lol if not already!
Well done!
Instead of printing parts at 100% infill, print them with 99 walls (obviously that many walls won't actually print) - walls provide strength along the axis you need for the application of chute line anchor.
Homemade sidewinders, I will be following
Do you think it could be helpful to check at the transition of Launch-Dir-Hold to Waypoint whether the angle or resulting force between the current trajectory and the predicted trajectory would exceed a threshold for safe maneuver?
Dude is certainly on an NSA watchlist
THE MISSILE KNOWS WHERE IT IS
Criminally underrated channel
Don’t use that word here please 😂
Fantastic vid. Really cool tech and amazing footage. The last video to were cool but this one was next level. Can’t wait for the next.
I love the external design of this rocket. Do you have plans available to recreate it as a "dumb rocket"?
Incredible flights and precision!
Dang that is very cool. I'm an engine electronic controls guy from a long time ago. ITAR can really be a PITA.
I'll have to install a few of these on my property so when the neighbors piss me off... lol
love watching people build precision guided missiles in their backyard
Finally someone, who said what joe was too afraid to say
Why did you choose to go for carbon fibre PC for that connection point on the avionics assembly? Adding fibre to a filament makes it stiffer but makes it slightly weaker and more brittle/lower impact resistance. For that piece you want a material with high strength and impact strength, but stiffness isn’t important from what I can see. Something like a TPU or polypropylene would likely be better here with polypropylene likely being the better choice although it is difficult to print.
you have officially blown up and became viral imo
Great for my project
CIA called, apparently some guy they named "ITAR" is searching for ya
oh a 3d print broke? what else is new. (great video and demo by the way, you are shooting for the stars :)
Congratulations 🎉
Welcome to the 3 letter agencies list 😂
We have been making "video" guided rockets and drones for the past 9 years using both visual and IR cameras and combined the two recently. No gps or rf jammers to worry about. 😂😂 I'm currently working on a multiple spectrum system now that combines many different spectrums to make them even more fail safe. 😊
The accuracy of this system is extremely impressive, even flight 5's late activation and missaligned roll was handled exceptionally. How did you tune everything? It seems hard to select good constants, but you also mention it does some calibration on initial lift off, does that help somehow?
in the future try and build a cool launch system. maybe with kinetic energy (flywheel) or an electromagnetic rail or something.
Well if a cruise missile is not next, then how about a parawing chute and self steering back to base? Awesome job!!!!
Cool stuff.....keep building and flying
Excellent work man, well done.
Dude you’re a G fr keep it up man
bro made a quality video with powerpoint
They came a long way
Super cool homemade SAM you've built. I feel like just watching this violates ITAR somehow. Anyway keep it up!
Start encapsulating your 3d printed parts in carbon fiber/epoxy. Also, you can use CF sheets with 3d print parts to provide the 3d prints with more rigidity.
What kind of autopilot structure do you use (3 loops, 2 loops etc....)?
Thanks!
You should add 3d sbs video of the xyz flightpath animation. Crossing your eyes would really show its true flightpath in all dimensions
That dramatic failure footage was epic. I know it must have sucked, but that was spectacular. The slow-mo red parts flying buy after impact made me chuckle. Why are things comical in slow-mo?

Somebody give this man a job.
