I love the sound it makes. It's so cute!

Sounds like a long noooooo to me.🙂

The start sounds like R2D2

yea ı think the same thing lol

as a former 82nd, member that has had a hard landing too. I thought the parachute should have been a little larger. It didn't slow down the fall very much.

Kinda like when you find something that you lost? It's ALWAYS in the last place you looked?

@@markthompson4885 I guess you would have liked a larger parachute too

That was going to be my suggestion too. It's the easiest option. More lift would be generated too.

@@rcookro wha? pls explain...

Or put there 2 counterrotating EDFs instead of prop, would look like wingless A10 :)

Typically counter-rotating props are used for coaxial helicopters. Lots of kids toys are made that way.

Some printed Kerbals with little parachutes who deploy when the main chute does would be ideal.

@@maxxiang8746 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23584142 All known batteries have some form of memory effect that is with battery cycling (charging and depletion). Some batteries are better than others. For example Aluminum Oxide batteries tend to have really bad charge memory effects. NiCd batteries are just more well known because of their extensive use and more pronounced memory effect. Lithium ion or NiMH have much longer life, but they eventually do experience voltage drops or a lowering of charge capacity. On the flipside capacitors don't have any chemical reactions, and as a result they do not experience these loses or buildup of inert nonreactive salts... no matter how much they are charged/discharged.

Tom’s videos are quite often quite proper British formal. I must say this less formal more human side of Tom is right fun to explore physics and maker/tinker shop time with.

Like a happy kid going down a megaslide, lol!!

not easy, especially since he's using a brushless outrunner

@@BrianSu should've used TWO smaller motors

Ironically, saw a book that had a similar rocket design from the 60s/70s (though using good old rubber bands as the propulsion) They solved the problem of requiring counter-rotation by having stationary blades of equal size to the moving blades underneath. It may also be useful to have a larger or multi-blade propeller so as to maximise the downward thrust efficiency

@@BrianSu there are pre-made brushless motors designed to operate contra-rotating props.

Yes, it might get complex but it is what Tom generally would like to get involved in. I really wish Tom at least discuss the challenges involved in this project.

This could actually be a great idea. If he fits the bike with a dynamo that can charge the super capacitors.

Could have a turbo button on the bike that uses the capacitors....

Judging from how noticably harder you need to pedal for just a single light i think regenerative breaking isn't really going to work. A turbo button on the other hand would be a good idea, this way you could get away with a smaller battery if you just want to use it occasionally. With recharging time fore the caps it would probably be a lot like the nitro button from need for speed.

The energy per unit volume of a supercap is not good enough for a bike that is much use. You want more than 10 seconds of run time.

*spaceship challenger has exploded* NASA flight control: "Oh" 😔

Or happy watheads!

one word: Kerbals

Johannes midgets

Well, he said he didn't recommend it.

😂

hahaha man nice!

I mean i guess before super caps that does not sound like an insane statement but for car audio they definitely had up to 5F capacitors probably bigger for a while and also i mean i heard of super capacitors like 5 years ago or so

James Holbrook They exist since 60s, just were too expensive back then. Also they were vastly improved over time, first supercaps were really big. Like 12v 6F was about the size of a hockey puck. Now it's about the size of 2 2032 cells.

Alexandre Salau There are super Capacitor one the market with few thousand Farads. I found also a better 3V Capacitor with approximately same size like he used in this Video: m.reichelt.com/ch/en/supercapacitor-100f-3v-22x45mm-hy-cap-100f-3v-p195670.html?&trstct=pos_10&nbc=1

It is not too fast. Before supercapacitor 1F was really big size. But it is already 50-100 years so. So it is normal that they find something new after 100 year of research.

I remember playing with 1 Farad 14.4volt caps in the mid '90's when I got into car stereo's and Subs. 1st rig 1200W 4x50w and 1KW Sub's. used to use a light bulb to charge that massive cap after lots of scary moments.

@@koitorob That's like asking "Why would a bicycle have an electric motor?" …. because it's better that way. :)

Ted Backs LMFAO..

Can be done with a gravity assisted system, a large ball bearing that when rolled and rocket is pointed down, it release two wings held in place at bottom of rocket by ball bearing and when it moves forward slides past the sprig trigger holding wings in Meh Yo get the idea I just got to 9 mins in on video, so replace ball bearing and spring mech with gyro switch that releases folded wings to glide but then you got to design a glider type body with lift and aerodynamics or its just a stick with wings Peace and Blessings

Morgenstund like a space shuttle

has been done. search for flitetest free flight. They used a real rocket tho

Hundreds of capacitors...

Now, here to find a 10000f capacitor.... or 6 of them

And now it explodes

So many companies have done less and made millions then went to research more toys. Airhogs, cool company.

It would be built to a price and break after two flights. Better to make your own, apparently. This thing is amazing.

being able to control how high and when to deploy is a huge change in entry-level "rocketry"

Just wondering if you need a CAA certificate? Kites over 60m do. www.caa.co.uk/General-aviation/Displays,-events-and-activities/Kites/ Kinda defeats the object if they won’t grant you.

Yeah like ElectroBOOM's capacitor mini rockets he made. I dunno which video it was, the rockets were probably 3D printed.

It sounds so happy :D

actually is: Somebody: 3, 2, 1... Rocket: weeeeeeeeeeeeee...

@⸚ how so?

And yahoooooooooo

He just needs good ol’ tri-blade race props. Smack into a tree at 80mph, slightly bend back one of your prop blades, and go hammering it through the trees again on your race mini quads! The old props seemed to be more brittle than icicles and would break on almost anything even 5 mph epic slow airplane crashes or slight bumps. Modern props use better materials with plastics that are more rigid (holding aerodynamic shape and efficiency at high power), as well as taking a beating and allowing more than hairline flexing. Plus they seem to bend back about 20 times, whereas the old ones had a fatigue limit of seemingly 1 crash, and maybe it would be sorta flyable at low throttle and vibrating, or maybe the props would explode... It’s a good thing we have modern props, because I crash a lot! So much better than the old ones.... they do need to become more available in the 9-12 inch size though, those all seem to be old school materials (besides carbon, but those just aren’t as cheap to crash like I do)

@@jakegarrett8109 Maybe a bigger parachute would be enough to save the props.

Or attach parachute above center of gravity instead below (while still storing it in the base)

Or the prop saver with an o-ring to hold it on

Keep the deployment chamber in the bottom but have the parachute attached to the top.

Very cool =]

That's Really Cool Stuff There

When i worked for Burroughs, I saw a solid state relay in a tape drive spit fire like one of the ols Estes model rocket engines.

I just happy to know someone else remembers the Estes Rockets HA... THATS A THOUGHT...

Now I'm curious!

Hey friend

Ryan Marshall hello fellow Ryan m. If we’re lucky there’s another Ryan m who follows Tom, hopefully he shows up and makes it 3 for 3

Smart

No. He knew that there were going to be plenty of situations where he wanted to deploy when he hadn't expended most of the capacitor's power. A manual deployment gave him the ability to abort the flight when *he* wanted.

@@jlstanley He could do both. (have a manual switch and a solenoid that automatically activates below a certain voltage)

But as you can see in the video the rocket turns sideways, and there's a good chance it would be back on the ground long before the parachute fires

payload of a toy tesla car :D

I thought the same!! But then I also realised that rockets are ment to spin for better stability..

sadly, you have to reach a bit more than 23.000 Km/h in an environment with no air, to reach orbit...
