- 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! - Věda a technologie
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!
Lol, Clipped in a space X crash with your sound!
That was great lol.
I’ve watched it 15 times
Yes please! More of this intriguing project!!
This is by far the best self landing homemade rocket I've seen
I love it. RC has come a long way in the past 30 years. It's truly amazing!
Great results... That's the best flying R/C Rocket attempt I've seen to date.
Amazing. Simply amazing. Congrats!
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.
Oh my gawd, fingers and open props, moving so fast, sooo cloooose. Great rocket and video.
Absolutely fantastic, thanks!!!
Man that second run really was perfect. Very cool project. Would love to see bigger and better versions. Nice job 👍
This guy is legit. Love it
That was fascinating as hell, great job dude!
Great result! What a pleasure to see you improve this each in his own way. Congratulations!
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.
Pretty awesome, man!!
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.
---Brilliant work.
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's really cool!! Love the design!
exceptionally stable! Great job.
Try retractable landing gear for the next one. :)
Static landing gear to save weight.
Looked pretty cool, thanks for sharing with the rest of us.
Awesome👏👏
I love watching your project videos... you truly are a mad RC scientist haha
I love this RC. Good Job man!
Nice build! Enjoyed watching her fly.
Excellent video! Thanks!
Well done, best hovering quad Space-X thingy!
Great work!
i just got a matekf411-wind fc board and was wondering if you can do a config settings video of your set up. What was your mixing setting to get the servos to function the way yours do? Thanks for your awesome work.
Frickin' amazing work!
Dude that's badass
Outstanding work! Keep up the great job Daniel
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing, Daniel!
Fantastic! Also, I love your workshop! Cool space.
Amazing work man! never stop!
duuuuuude this is sooooo sick!
Outstanding man! you have renewed my hopes in the young Generations that are coming up...
I have been following you since that other time. You are amazing!
That workshop!!! 😳😍
Love your projects!
You are a genius my man! Great job!
amazing work as always
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!
make it autonomous! I'd love to see that thing fly waypoint missions somehow :D
I'm impressed it moves really good
Great project! Thumb up!
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👍
Great !
I love it mate !
Damn dude it's crazy how similar this looks to the Starship hops!
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.
With two flight controllers, how do you deal with the i-term? It would normally go plus on one controller and minus on the other thereby fighting each other. I-gain zero on one of them?
What an interesting project. Congrats!
Great video... great cuts. Can’t wait to see more. Subbed. Keep it up.
You're a genius, dude! Kudos! 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome work... enjoying your vids! Keep up the good work!
Very cool video. Some ppl dont understand the technical challenges here. Awesome! Kinda gives you a view into the future of RC capabilities.
Hey I've been planning a similar project but with actual motor rockets ! Cool to see more things like this
Man, this is awesome! Keep it up!
All I can say is, “Great Job!”
Awesome !
Nice work! Next stop, The Moon!! 👍😁😎
I fly quadcopters so I can completely understand your passion! 👍😎
This is amazing! I can't wait to see where this goes. Do you have a 360 cam to mount on top? Could you adapt the gps fly home in betaflight to get your rocket back to the starting location?
Love the Xmas tree.
Well done! Very impressive!
Very respectable results. You should be surprised
The snow geese in the background are beautiful!
Bitchenly awesome, great build & thank you for posting !
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!
This was amazing! Great job! What if you 3d print the shroud with ports for the air to have a specific flow? First from the nose to the side props and then out the side. Then the main one at the bottom have it's own intakes and main output down the bottom.
Congrats... very good work
Great experiment man.
Impressive!
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.
I’ve been watching some long range video in your channel, by any chances could you share your set up especially the flying wing?
Fantastic stability..cool to see it correcting for torque n p-factor
You have my respect! Greetings from Brazil.
Very cool man. Bravo
That is awesome.....just gets better and better Daniel
Nice.
Seems really durable!
Hello,
Would you be so kind to tell me, what are the specifications of the motor in the rocket? :-)
Really nice flight and landing.
This is the rctestflight I subscribed to a few years ago.
Dude, you rock-et!!!
You guys are so cool!!!
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.
Wow ! it's so awesome !!! so great technique skill to make this rocket ! thanks !
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
Where are you working? Looks like a cool place!
Think he works at Freeflight (indeed looks freaking cool!)
brilliant! You are really getting the hang of it, with fewer 'goes' than Spacex!
Great engineering and design
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 :-)
Awesome project Daniel. Interesting to hear about your experiences with the body shroud inefficiencies.
9:00 minutes
This is gonna be big... It works so well for such a design and in comparison with the others on YT
Well done.
Great project, I would really like to see a basic single copter design. What components, FC, servos, etc and what program to use. That seemed to hover great on the lower part alone, and yes to bumble around the yard would be pretty fun.
So dope. I had no clue you did something like this in the past! I'm suprised it doesn't have more views.
