My personal adventures in amateur experimental rocketry
A very brief report of when I overestimated my rocket performance, and try to launch a rocket made of toilet paper rolls and duct tape
It didn’t go well
First Standalone Rocket Test
Total failure – Failure to Launch
Conclusion: Not enough thrust to propel self and rocket … Read More
A very short write up about calculating the speed a rocket reaches traversing a 12 meter rope
After acquiring a longer rope, I have setup a Test Track of 12.4 Meters
This video shows the results from the first Rocket tested there
The one where I got too exited about how my engines were doing and grossly overestimated how much they could propel
So I wanted to see the power produced by my rocket, but I don’t have a scale (I didn’t at the time of writing), so I tried attaching a 100 g test weight to the rocket
it turns out it … Read More
A step by step breakdown of the old procedure used to make small rocket engines without having to melt the propellant
A short compilation featuring most of the engine tests and experiments performed before starting this site
This is a compilation of all the engines (successfully) tested so far, and the conclusions gathered from those tests
First some Specs:
