- Video #2 of this project: • Brushless R/C ROCKET V...
Its hard not to be inspired by seeing a giant rocket fall out of space and land gently on the ground. I wanted to achieve the same thing with small scale, and using a brushless motor in place of a pyrotechnic rocket motor makes it much easier.
My longer-term goal with this project is to make a rocket capable of carrying a GoPro type camera to high altitudes, falling back to earth, then landing in a controlled fashion. The rocket in this video could carry a camera and preform perfect landings but it wasn't efficient enough to reach high altitudes.
I'm already working on the next version, so stay tuned and subscribe! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Nice one Daniel! Cool to see the small props in the top working so well to simulate the gas thrusters. It will be interesting to see how grid fins would work with this design, if you choose to test them. Just a shame these mini quad motors/props hate to be ducted. I think the setup I used was measured at 1.5kg of thrust, but could only just lift the 400g 'rocket' at full throttle. Look forward to the next one!!
Thanks Tom! And thanks for the inspiration! My next design uses a gimbaling motor on the top for attitude control, but I would like to experiment with grid fins/thruster motors again in the future. The duct inefficiency is indeed a bummer. I might try a profile body with my next one. Won't look amazing but oh well.
Ducting those propellers is not a great idea, because the motor loses a lot of thrust. Using this design you can't even add a proper solid fuel model rocket engine. As a result, you create something that is definitely not a rocket. Please take a look at my Rocket Drone... ready to be 3D printed (having some funds).
Did you guys ever consider using a proper Electric Ducted Fan? I know they are heavier, require more RPMs, and may provide less static thrust than a naked prop but, you are putting a prop in a tube on an electric motor. That is what they are designed for. Something the size you will need is 3D printable. There is plenty online about making them.
Incorporating a proper airfoil duct could help with natural stability too.
@@Specter0420 Being a "rocket" (even if in this case there isn't any combustion of its content), I believe that keeping an eye on weight, should be a priority. Therefore, the ducted fan motors are not the best choise (in my humble opinion).
@@Specter0420 I think there would still be a large efficiency loss from sucking a ton of air through a tube with lots of drag in it (batteries, servos, wires, structure, etc).
You definetelly one of the best RC-engineering pioneer on the youtube!!
The pioneering work has been done by flight control software programmers during the last 15 years ... now it's easy to just use that.
Go look up Peter Stripol.
@Pretty fly for a WiFi NO U
it still just a multirotor with beta flight nothing special
Should launch it with two solid stage model boosters on the side. Then recover it landing!
Great results... That's the best flying R/C Rocket attempt I've seen to date.
This is by far the best self landing homemade rocket I've seen
Yes please! More of this intriguing project!!
I love it. RC has come a long way in the past 30 years. It's truly amazing!
This is the most stable prop 'rocket' i've seen yet. At first I thought there must be a string running up through the tube in the first trials. Really nice work.
It’s facinating ?
To hear someone talk ?
In the form of questions ?
All the time ?
Fun project as usual!
Lol, Clipped in a space X crash with your sound!
That was great lol.
I’ve watched it 15 times
Oh my gawd, fingers and open props, moving so fast, sooo cloooose. Great rocket and video.
Man that second run really was perfect. Very cool project. Would love to see bigger and better versions. Nice job 👍
What a brain. I messed around with RC when I was younger but I do not have the mentality or brains to do stuff like this guy. A huge sums up for your ingenuity👍
Amazing. Simply amazing. Congrats!
Out of everyone trying to do this cheaply and nicely, you are the one my money was on!. Daniel could fly a Juke Box if he wanted to!.
Great result! What a pleasure to see you improve this each in his own way. Congratulations!
Ive been watching you make and fly stuff for many years, you are a smart young man, its refreshing to see young minds working, and experimenting, and having fun with Imagineering, keep it up you'll go far in life!
Well done, best hovering quad Space-X thingy!
Nice build! Enjoyed watching her fly.
The snow geese in the background are beautiful!
Absolutely fantastic, thanks!!!
This is really amazing what you did!
I can see this leading to something even cooler in the future great job!
Thanks for sharing and as always Keep Building👍
That was fascinating as hell, great job dude!
This guy is legit. Love it
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing, Daniel!
I love watching your project videos... you truly are a mad RC scientist haha
Very cool video. Some ppl dont understand the technical challenges here. Awesome! Kinda gives you a view into the future of RC capabilities.
Excellent work Daniel! Love the warehouse. I like your idea of removing the top props and relying just on the bottom hardware to control the craft. The plastic cone like you said added too much weight. Am excited to see the next one. Another idea is you could mount the top motors flush out the sides so the props are flush with the outer tube. 2 blade props would probably be more efficient than the 3 blade ones. You would only need 3 motors to keep the top of the rocket stable.
Wow man your videos are really really awesome! I love the fact that you pack in a lot of different trials so we can really see the difference! That is extremely helpful. Anyway I just wanted to tell you I love your videos and all your hard work that you put into making them.I know through editing and everything else setting up the cameras etc it must take you a long long time to produce these. Anyway just letting you know that people do notice your hard work.
Looked pretty cool, thanks for sharing with the rest of us.
Nice work! Next stop, The Moon!! 👍😁😎
I fly quadcopters so I can completely understand your passion! 👍😎
Outstanding man! you have renewed my hopes in the young Generations that are coming up...
Awesome👏👏
Awesome project Daniel. Interesting to hear about your experiences with the body shroud inefficiencies.
9:00 minutes
brilliant! You are really getting the hang of it, with fewer 'goes' than Spacex!
exceptionally stable! Great job.
Daniel is the best kind of nerd that I want to be friends with for the rest of my life
I know you don't want to hear this but you're freaking awesome I mean seriously what you've accomplished here is amazing I can see a bright future ahead for you and drone technology of this sort
Try having two thrust motors in the Tube (one at each end), but at the top use Ducts to control the vacuum entering.
Similar to having Thrusters, just in reverse (hopefully, no one will notice the direction of air).
Possibly use compressed air too, initially, to save on Battery.
Also, make a shroud out of thin batteries to go around the main tube.
Outstanding work! Keep up the great job Daniel
Bitchenly awesome, great build & thank you for posting !
make it autonomous! I'd love to see that thing fly waypoint missions somehow :D
---Brilliant work.
That workshop!!! 😳😍
Very ingenious! I think you are almost ready for a rocket launch!
Awesome project, love you tubers being super creative. Just build one with the bottom half vectoring section and enjoy more flight time and higher freefalls!
Cool 'rocket' Daniel, you never cease to amaze me :-) Funny you mentionned your older video, that is the first thing I thought while i was watching the video, it reminded me of that old design :-)
You're a little older now than years ago when I first started learning from your wisdom, but I am still very proud of you as all your viewers should be.
Why would a person's age matter?
@@AtlantaTerry My apologies.....it was not my intention to make it an "age thing." I received your message and read my comment again......now it is obvious how my original comment can be misunderstood. Please allow me to explain for my sake and out of respect for you. You see, I've been fortunate to have been learning from this young man since he was just a young boy. Over the years he has matured into quite a gentleman with an incredible future. My message above was meant as a compliment (for example "I am proud of you) but I didn't want to make it sound like I am writing to a little boy....so I stated "you're older...." The point is that I should have clarified and written something along the lines of "you have aged quickly yet gracefully over the years with such wisdom and sincerity....if I say I am proud of you then it is intended in a very mature way" instead of when you say it to a very young person...where it is intended more as a "good job kiddo".....I hope this clarified things a little for you.....maybe you're his dad or uncle or relative..... I hope you will reply.
Your videos give me life Daniel. Really interesting work that continually inspires. Your videos are the only ones I share with my fam and friends because they're so appealing. Hope to see you keep posting!
Very nice test flight. Looking forward to seeing you test out grid fins (hint, hint). What would be really interesting to see is a conventional chemical first stage, and then landing with your thruster motor.
I lost this channel and just found it again. Avoiding the same mistake by remembering to subscribe! Any time I'm having an engineering "writer's block" of sorts, I come here. Always innovative, always inspiring. Keep the content coming, the buffet line's only getting longer.
Excellent video! Thanks!
That's really cool!! Love the design!
This is the rctestflight I subscribed to a few years ago.
So dope. I had no clue you did something like this in the past! I'm suprised it doesn't have more views.
Damn dude it's crazy how similar this looks to the Starship hops!
You have my respect! Greetings from Brazil.
Fantastic! Also, I love your workshop! Cool space.
Great work!
I have been following you since that other time. You are amazing!
This is gonna be big... It works so well for such a design and in comparison with the others on YT
First time I've ever subscribed to a channel after just one video.
Awesome project you have going :) looks like its going to be tons of fun hammering out the tiny issues. Maybe use two motors for thrust that counter rotate and then use the vectoring for stability.
Pretty awesome, man!!
Fantastic stability..cool to see it correcting for torque n p-factor
I love this RC. Good Job man!
I'm impressed it moves really good
Awesome!
Very respectable results. You should be surprised
Hey I've been planning a similar project but with actual motor rockets ! Cool to see more things like this
I've never experience "Really Unstable" control of my drones when landing, but okay. Interesting project you have going there. Think long and hard about some ideas on how to use this, you could be on a winner here. Good job! ;)
Dude, you rock-et!!!
Try replacing the prop/motors with EDFs that have outlet nozzle flush to the outside diameter of the fuselage and inlet ducts flush-mounted with openings in the nose cone. You could also use a gyro to stabilize the flight, not the sensor gyros but and actual gyro that has mass enough to keep the fuselage fixed once up to speed before take-off.
All I can say is, “Great Job!”
Dude that's badass
Impressive in both concept and execution! Well done Sir - keep at it
Nice video. Good explanation of your objectives. Looking forward to your next effort.
Try retractable landing gear for the next one. :)
Static landing gear to save weight.
Frickin' amazing work!
Love the Xmas tree.
You're a genius, dude! Kudos! 👍👍👍👍👍
I am so wait for this video
Great video... great cuts. Can’t wait to see more. Subbed. Keep it up.
Wow ! it's so awesome !!! so great technique skill to make this rocket ! thanks !
This is very strange, but very cool!!
That is awesome.....just gets better and better Daniel
Seeing the rocket without the nosecone remind me of SNs 5 & 6 150m hop. Great content! Subbed.
One thing your design has going for it is mass up high, kind of like balancing a broom on the palm of your hand. That's why it was able to fly so well with just the bottom motor. The top thrusters do help it pull out of the fall once it's gone sideways, but it would still be cool to try gridfins.
The first one to actually figure it out. Nice
Nice I dreamed of this and I wanted to do it but I did not have the equipment. Thank you. You are wonderful . It is a nice feeling to find someone who has similar ideas ^-^
Dude, genius. Ok, that's all you get from me. I dreamt this 5 years ago. You made history. All right. 👌 ok. 🐞
Awesome work... enjoying your vids! Keep up the good work!
Amazing work man! never stop!
You are a genius my man! Great job!
Great project! Thumb up!
Amazing! Always a treat to see an upload from your channel. Yours is the best performing “vtol rocket” I’ve seen to date, much more controllable. Can’t wait to see V2.
You have earned a new subscribers today my friend. If it's not to much weight on top try deploying the control vanes as you descend back to earth. Great work .
you did a very good job! - thanks for sharing
What an interesting project. Congrats!
duuuuuude this is sooooo sick!
