    5 minutes was enough to determine that this is not worth any more of my time. He doesn't realise that a wing does not operate in a tube. Or that his acknowledged concern about the incompressibility of air is indeed a show stopper. Conservation of mass in a tube has absolutely nothing to do with the generation of lift.

    • @Polypythat
      @Polypythat Před 15 dny

      This is a terrible take. The first 5 minutes are spent demonstrating that people's knowledge isn't flawed, but rather air can act in different ways in different circumstances. He caps it off by stating that in open circumstances pressure and velocity can adjust to allow density to remain constant, therefore incompressible. Conservation of mass absolutely is applicable to lift generation, as an airfoil relies on it to generate differential velocities and therefore pressures on the upper and lower surfaces, which is the basic principle behind lift generation. I'd genuinely recommend taking another watch, this video is significantly better at explaining the principle, supported by experimentation, than any of my previous education.

    • @alans172
      @alans172 Před 14 dny

      ​@@Polypythat You do yourself no favours by being an apologist for this nonsense. Conservation of mass in an ideal fluid, (incompressible, inviscid etc.) led Bernoulli to his now famous but poorly interpreted principle. Bernoulli's principle states that in a moving fluid, (and he only worked with water) a change in flow rate is always associated with a pressure change. What the principle doesn't say is that a change in pressure in air (the highly compressible form of a fluid) is always associated with a change in flow rate. A change in pressure in air can be associated with a change in flow rate, but a change in pressure in air can also be associated with a change in volume (by evacuation or compression) or a change in temperature. It's a case of A always results in B but B is not always associated with A. All dogs are animals, but not all animals are dogs. A change of pressure in air does not have to be associated with momentum, velocity or acceleration: think about your tyre pump. Think about heating a container.

    I am a distant relative of the Lee family from the same area. Most of my family on that side lost their lives in Coal mines. I have fought, starved, and survived that life to work in the aerospace and military supply area. I was on the Trident missile program and Raytheon missiles. A late starter at age 32, I am a living example you never give up and fight until your last breath. I am now with a a break-off company from Raytheons best inventors to help with innovation and new future ideas. We are part of our ancestors and though we improve on those characteristics, we should still be thankful for the sacrifice they made.

    So, build your rocket, with everything that you want it to fly with and in the approximate location of where you want your items to be. Then "teeter-totter"(highly scientific) static balance it on the table, and mark that spot. Take your string and tie it to that balance point, and give it a swing. If it swings straight into the airflow,,your getting closer to flight. Once that's set,, start moving the string back(twoards the fins) until the model goes unstable to see where the CP is to make sure you have the body tube diameter margin away from the CG. Yes??.

    Just look how the post starts wobbling when the string is pulled in. Angular momentum is clearly transferred from the ball to the setup. Conservation of angular momentum is only conserved in an isolated system.

      @Dooley13 Před 3 měsíci

      This will depend on the materials you use (as well as how you connect your members together). A given material will have a tension member capacity and a compression member capacity -- these known values tell you how much force, in tension or compression respectively, a member can sustain before failure.

    So when the mass is increased with a constant parachute area and shape the drag coefficient should decrease? the greater the mass the higher the terminal velocity since terminal velocity is squared and is inversely proportional the drag coefficient should decrease right?

    • @labratscientific1127
      @labratscientific1127 Před 7 měsíci

      For wind tunnel testing the horizontal or vertical orientation doesn't matter. What does matter it that the test object is in the right orientation with respect to the "relative wind". For the rocket, the nose needs to be pointing into the relative wind - the wind generated by the wind tunnel. As far as the rocket is concerned, there is no difference whether the test is done vertically or horizontally as long as the rocket is pointed into the airflow - the stability dynamics are the same. All pitch/roll/yaw dynamics act about the CG and the CG does not change for the vertical or horizontal direction. All NASA rocket wind tunnel tests are performed horizontally. In addition, it is much easier to build a big wind tunnel in the horizontal plane rather than the vertical. Hope this helps...

    Why does the nose produce lift when it's symmetrical?

    • @labratscientific1127
      @labratscientific1127 Před 7 měsíci

      The nose is symmetrical relative to the air flow when its axis of symmetry is aligned with the air flow (i.e. no angle of attack). The rocket is always pitching (or yawing) during flight and thus has a oscillating angle of attack (negative, zero, positive, and back again...) When the nose cone is at an angle of attack it is no longer symmetrical relative to the airflow and thus produces lift. If you had really big fins the rocket would be very stable and the oscillating angle of attack would be small. In this case the nose lift would also be small.

  • @user-kn2pv2nb2e
    @user-kn2pv2nb2e Před 7 měsíci

    Простая стабилизация не выход. Необходимо проворачивание ракеты вокруг продольной оси. Для этого хотя бы поставьте стабилизаторы под небольшим углом 1-2 градуса к продольной оси. Самостабилизация ракеты происходит тогда, когда центр тяжести ракеты расположен впереди центра давления воздушного потока. Ваша ракета будет летать нестабильно.😊
