The DIY Rocketeer Building SpaceX Replicas of Self-Landing Rockets

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- Joe Barnard left his background in videography and music production to launch his life of amateur rocketry, and he shares his DIY adventures in building rockets on his TH-cam channel BPS.space.
After he saw the launch and successful landing of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, he knew that he wanted to do that too-so he took it upon himself to learn all he could about rocket science to get a job at SpaceX. Since then, many companies have come knocking at his door, but he’s decided to keep on forging ahead with his DIY endeavors to build, launch, and land fully functional scale rockets at a fraction of the cost and time of experimenting with real rockets.
Motherboard travels to Tennessee to meet with the rocketeer leading that charge for budding DIY rocket scientists around the world.

Thanks so much for hanging out, Motherboard - it was a blast!! 🚀🚀🚀
Dude, you are awesome. Hope to see you again.
I saw You in the Thumb nail and i was like BPS OMG then i clicked on the video
Very good :)
Wish you all the very best on your projects.The world wants people like you! There will be times which are down fall and frustrating, but never stop! You will be successful, i'm darn sure about it!! ✌✌❤❤
How are you funded? Investors, TH-cam, Donations, do you sell rockets?
I don’t think “you’re playing with toys”. I think you’re a dreamer. We should never underestimate the capability of a dreamer. Best wishes my friend.
Not overestimate
Nicest thing I heard recently..
( as a freelancer artist that usually takes harsh criticism from all electronic and Arduino group )
The government is shutting down model rocketry and the remote control hobby with Remote ID and invasion of privacy tracking. The government of the USA doesn't want dreamers ... Only sheep that obey orders and don't question authority
Exactly! The modern technology we enjoy today comes from dreamers like him. Best wishes
@@iwontreplybacklol7481 I too am certain that is their goal, but it won't be realized. The genie is out of the bottle. And once that happens it is a mofo to put it back in without a total reset.
*rocket fails to land*
"Cool!"
A man excited to fail and then learn. He's gonna go far.
Mal Cubed that last test was pretty damn close too. Seemed like he just ran out of propellent at the end.
In science there is no such thing as failure, all outcome produce usable data. And data is the currency and fuel of science.
Amen to that!!!

The takeaway of this video goes beyond the future of rocketry. This guy is a prime example of determination: He had a non-STEM degree, working in the lowest rank of A/V production. Through pure hard work and dedication literally made himself into a rocket scientist & entrepreneur (with probably tons of lucrative offers). Further drives the argument that the classical educational and career model is dying out.
Who told you a/v production is lowest rank? How many people in the world can make music that people would listen? A/ v producers are rich as fuck also than some rocket scientist.
No one did. Nukezat meant he was at the bottom of an entirely different industry but turned himself into this through hard work and determination.
Since when does shoving a flight controller and a servo onto a rocket motor make you a rocket scientist?
@@thesquisheee Haha the ghosts of Goddard, Oberth and Tsiolkovosky would like to have a word with you!
@@gyaanfreak as in A/V production for weddings.
"I was willing to fail a whole lot and just learn from mistakes...." 🤔What a kick ass attitude. That is a great way to forge a path to success!!!👍🙂
He learned it on the internet lmao JK maybe he will event a 0gravity ship
The last landing, that happened on one of the early space x flight tests for real , where it ran out of fuel before landing. Only a matter of time until this guy gets it right.
The difference is that at the point when Joe's runs out of fuel it's moving sideways pretty fast. The gimbal PID needs more work and there are lot better, cheaper and faster ways to improve that than trial and error. The fact that he's trial and erroring suggests he's not approaching this the right way.
@@ominouspenguin Hes got a theater degree, cut him some slack.
@@ominouspenguin then do it your self
It didn't run out of fuel, well, it did, but that wasn't the real problem, the rocket was supposed to land just before the fuel (which is solid, so he couldn't control it) is burned completely, so the real problem was that the sensors were getting wrong altitude data.
I know this because he did a video talking about this :D
@@juliansoto2651 I bet those hobby solid engines don't put out the most consistent amount of thrust. It's going to be really hard for him to consistently land
Wow. This is why so inspiring. He doesn't even have an engineering background in any of the things related to rockets or additive manufacturing. He learned how to build, code, and experiment all on his own. Best example of self taught success.

@Neurolicious except Elon did it in 10 years, as a man not as a government.
It's 2020 and SpaceX has "just" successfully delivered on his promise to take a crewed capsule to ISS - Dragon 2 Crew Demo mission.
That someone ventures into creating something is already no small feat but to actually get to replicate rocket landing at any scale is awesome. Congrats on your efforts, it's always inspiring to watch and learn about something new (particularly when feeling like doing nothing else - weekend :) ).
i belive this kind of motivation and love are more important than a title.
Well im sure your dad will hire you whenever you decide you would like to go big scale lol.
@Razvan J I think it was a joke about him looking like Elon Musk's son.
“I was willing to fail a lot, and make a lot of mistakes”
Dude, holy CRAP. This guy is no joke. Keep on rockin' brotha, you're actually gonna pull this thing off. I'm truly amazed by your accomplishments and can't wait to see your further successes.
This is where innovation begins. A person doing something so intricate AND learning from it.
Ummmm there's seems to be an error in the matrix?
It's only a matter of time before SpaceX hires him
i dont think so
He'll do his own thing.
North Korea might hire him
Once he has a PhD or two maybe lol
NO !!!!!!
he will never get hired what he is doing has nothing in common with real rocket science
I knew about him before he got famous 😭😭 I’m so happy i used to watch his streams when he started building rockets and how he kept building and improving
Just from a control engineering perspective you can not really make this work with a model rocket using solid propellant. There is no way to alter thrust once it goes off. You can get the perfect altitude setting for a motor only to have it be slightly different for the next motor. A gust of updraft can put you off target. This is why control engineering exists in the first place; to iron out the small differences and still reach a set goal.
My suggestion; use a hybrid engine that uses a solid propellant and a gas so that you can control the thrust by controlling the gas flow.
He made a video about that.
He's aware that he needs some control. Currently he's using dead reckoning (on timers).
Give him time, and maybe he will discover something important using his own approach. A new device/solution/method... etc
A new way of using solid fuel, who knows
Nothing is Impossible, people said space x's landing rockets is impossible, and yet they did it, just give them time
Honestly you could just have a tube with an axial length cut from it sweep in and redirect 100% of the thrust to the sides. Have it split and coming in from both sides and you've got something you can modulate on some level.
The world needs more people like this who are willing to break the mindset of "It can't be done"
If he could control the throttle, he could land his rockets much easier.
Seems he's probably using solid fuel so that can't really be done unfortunately
@@XboxIssues I imagine some sort of dampener might work, but would have to withstand a lot of thrust.
Refaldooloo Or have solid rocket fuel he makes, not store bought, and build lower-thrust segments of rocket fuel (made of sugar and potassium nitrate for example) to “control” the throttle. Basically have the solid fuel high thrust and interlace sections that are lower thrust
Only problem with that is it introduces the likelihood of human error
He seems very close to completion, I’m wondering if a larger extendable base could be implemented made of a material such as carbon fibre.
The fact that this man created a self-landing, thrust vectoring, rocket in his house and a random field, while it took a whole team of engineers like a decade is absolutely amazing.
Guys this is the same dude that carbonated his milk.
HOT TIPS: The scale of your rocket makes landing on grass similar to a Space-X rocket landing in the woods on rolling hills. To compensate for this while keeping the same landing gear looks, you could do a few things. You already have the sensors and PID controller, so put that USB battery inside the rocket body and use it to shift the center of gravity with cheap microservos. You could get a similar or better result with a linkage from your motor gimbal to the landing struts that connect when the springs deploy them. Alternatively, you could give the landing gear their own servos (should only need two with a clever mechanism) and this would eliminate the burning band release and associated failure modes. Servos are more reliable in terms of timing. Also, look into "thrust reversal" as used on jet engines. With careful heat shielding, a thrust reverser can nullify the thrust from your solid rocket engine, giving the effect of shutting it off without switching to a liquid or hybrid rocket setup. Most importantly, if you want someone to hire you, don't attempt to look like them. This gains you zero brownie points (unless they need a fall guy or stunt double) and maxes out the creepy points. If a dude wants a replica of himself, nature has a mechanism for that. It's not a bad trait for picking up chicks or acting jobs though, since you technically look like a famous billionaire. Good luck on your project!
Buck Starchaser hahaha 😂
Good ideas. Maybe he could also put four smaller engines and gimbal them outwards to decrease thrust for a smooth landing.
I liked this comment until you got to the part where you're saying hes trying to look like elon musk. Dude I think he was just born that way..
@@Stealth360stealth I completely agree that he naturally has a significant resemblance to the very person he's informally asking for a job from, and I suspect that the video producer did too. I also understand that a person's appearance can change significantly, based on their styling choices and outward expression. At 0:30 in this video, it's evident that he has only a vague resemblance to Elon Musk. Notably, his rocket is displayed with his business logo "BPS" and is adorned with the US flag, indicating that he identifies as an American with his own business idea. Over the course of the video, his style changes. With all the memorabilia that he wears and surrounds himself with being associated with one other business person and company that he expresses desire to work for, the similarity becomes overtly unnatural. I have nothing against him personally, and I pointed out that giving up his individuality to adopt that of another results in neither. Keep in mind that you liked the previous observations when they applied to a human creation, but not when I used that same process to critique the aspects of a human-created persona. I strongly suspect that the rapid change in appearance and gradual change in facial expressions, etc. were likely a product of feedback from the video segment's producer and the clips displayed were chosen by the editors. I suspect that he was styled and coached to exaggerate these similarities on advice from the show's producer, and since he has a photography business, likely followed the advice from what he would consider a successful version of himself without regard for the difference in objectives. The problem with that, and the underlying message of my comment's final tip, is that a person who is willing to adopt someone else's persona to replace their own, as well as to start one's own rocket business and state a desire to be hired by a competitor, is mechanically unlikely to succeed in those goals just as the other things I gave advice on. The statement I gave was intended to be self explanatory to prevent the need for a block of text as large as this one.
@@funnelfpv9435 That would add more complexity and weight, but would also likely work until motor cutout. From his demonstration of mastery in keeping the rocket upright in flight with the current thrust vectoring, I'd say it's within his ability to implement it. Imagining a group of Estes A10 motors firing up just at the end, that would be exciting to watch. Unfortunately, solid motors are notoriously hard to light off simultaneously. I recall the Mythbusters were able to pull it off though.
It's the carbonated milk guy! Huge fan here.
Naf ruoy ma I
The best line from any inventor! "Don't put this in, but I think this will work"

Blown away at the enthusiasm. A bit inspiring too. I do see the similarity of him as a young Elon. Im pretty sure Elon has seen this video too, or will be shown it. GREAT VIDEO!!!
When your older brother gets all the good stuff, so you have to work with the scraps
I know this video is old but I’ll comment anyway. I am 44 and just started my path on rocketry. My friend and I are building a sugar based solid propellant rocket. Neither of us has ever done anything like this. We are very excited even though we know the likelihood of success is minimal. Dreamers encourage dreamers. I love your videos. The only failure is failure to put forth effort! I hope you achieve your dream. 🤙

Declan Jolowski 😂😂😂😂
The solid fuel rocket burn rate is slightly inconsistent so that could be the reason why you might not be able to make a perfect soft touch landing. But what you've achieved so far is still pretty much remarkable buddy. I hope SpaceX takes you in.
I was wondering about that. I suspect he'll also have problems generalizing this to the full flight because he'll need an engine he can restart.
Nice work, I wish I had time to do this kind of thing, just have to live it by watching videos like these.
You do have the time, you just have to make time
You definitely have a spare 30 minutes everyday to do something. You can make that into one or two hours by limiting social media
Here we go again. Start small. 3D printer and some arduino programming helps. They don't cost you 50k like a uni grad, do they?
Propulsively landing a rocket with a solid rocket motor is unbelievably hard because a solid motor can’t be throttled up or down. It just ignites and burns, no way to make on the fly throttle adjustments. I’ve got so much respect for this guy for going for it. If he can time the ignition of the motor correctly, I think he may be able to do it. Not to mention he’s self taught, and his rockets have gotten very complex with thrust vectoring, flight control, etc.
IMO he’s going places, and “places” could very well end up being SpaceX or Rocket Lab.

Thrust vectoring is *dramatically* harder on a smaller scale than w/ full size rockets. That he’s getting so close is really impressive. It’s easy to balance a broomstick on your finger….but try it with a popsicle stick! That’s what he’s doing.
