I am already making plans for a rocket that is shot either using CO2 or a slingshot, and it lights way up in the air. The launch is basically a 1st stage that does not require a rocket motor!
Very nice build! So here is the question i struggle myself with for quite a while. Will the tube give the rocket a significant higher starting speed, because the exaust gasses build up in it like in a rifle barrel and push the rocket out or am i getting something wrong?
The way you are thinking about it, the answer would be yes. However, I used a port hole in the bottom of the pipe to hook up the launch controller, which would vent the exhaust gasses as a side effect. If I kept it all sealed, the answer would be yes, but I didn't.
@@TheRocketryWorkshopI know you didn't do it here, but for the future don't ever use PVC in a way that builds pressure. PVC pipe will explode under large pressures, and the fragments would be deadly, see "pipe bomb". Amateur rockets like this won't get to those pressures, but just shell out the extra money for metal piping rated to high pressures if you ever do anything like that.
If I am going to do something with pressure, I will definitely use either metal or fiberglass to ensure that it will survive. My grandpa blew his hand up with a pipe bomb and I don't think I would want to repeat that!
@@TheRocketryWorkshop This is smart. Especially because if the rocket gets stuck and the rocket fuel ignites all at once it will definitly go off like a pipe bomb! :) But still ... i wonder how much of a difference it makes. I mean the military starts all its rockets from pipes, right?
Thanks! And no, I don't think the military launches ALL the missiles from pipes. There used to be the MIM 23 Hawk missile, launched from a rocket launcher on a trailer. And there used to be one called the Pershing, which was a huge rocket launched like you would launch a spaceship. I'm sure there are a few more recent ones too!

Hi Grandma! Hope to see you in a few days. Thanks for watching my video!
@TheRocketryWorkshop this is very wholesome
good work kid, keep on !!
Thank you!
Nice!
Thanks!
Build an air cannon, trigger the air and launch at the same time.

What size engine was used.
29mm Estes E16
@@TheRocketryWorkshop thx, that sounds like enough thrust without getting crazy. Good work on 3D printing.
@@jodymlake-hw4gy Thanks!
