Very Special Unboxing for Nerds - Bigger Rockets & Better Cameras - ElementalMaker

[@mikedrop4421]

Wow, I had a replica of that 4 grain motor in my pants after watching that.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Hell yes my first early access patreon video from your channel! EDIT: Also to Rob who sent in the cameras. You are an awesome person! Thank you for helping out AAvE (American AvE) I bet that joke gets old. Damn! And the rocket motor kit guy Luke you're a BAMF.

[@ElementalMaker]

Thanks for being on board as a Patron!

That is one hot momma of a motor. Hope we get a few good static test out of it before it gets lost in the stratosphere.

I have no idea what the hell is going on here but your excitement is infectious. LET"S BLOW SOME SHIT UP!

[@ElementalMaker]

HAHA love that attitude!

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

Now that's how to promote a product! I'm a machinist as well and that is quality work. A graphite or stainless nozzle liner would definitely increase longevity though, aluminum picks up heat very well which will cause some erosion. However seeing as how there is no ejection charge port I'm not sure you will find them again after the first shot, those look like they are going to put out some serious thrust! Almost a shame to dirty them up though lol.

That kit is beautiful. The quality looks top shelf. Your videos still deliver. I'm introducing my daughter to rocketry as we speak and shes too young to understand your vijayos they give me an extra hand to explain things to her!!! Science is for everyone whether we are professionally educated or like myself not!!!!

[@ElementalMaker]

Thanks for the kind words John. I'm very glad that you and your daughter are enjoying the great science of rocketry! If I can ever be of assistance to her education, let me know. Professional education is mostly just a fancy piece of paper. Real intelligence is self taught and I'd bet you are in that camp. Wishing you and yours a very happy and healthy new year.

[@oswynfaux]

@ElementalMaker Remember leverage, if you need more than 50 pounds with the load cell use a lever and pivot and put the load cell 2x the distance from the pivot as the motor load point, now you have a 100 pound setup. (Will be interesting to see how those nozzles hold up, I'm thinking they are going to melt)

[@ElementalMaker]

Yeah that could absolutely be done, I just want to keep the measurement as direct as possible, because then the beam could begin throwing off the test through bending and introducing a larger moment of inertia to the system.

[@nathanast7036]

Every time I watch your videos I alway expect “Welcome back to the shop” but I’m always surprised with elemental maker lol

[@Arachnos27]

Looks like a great set of rocket engines, beautifully machined. Looking forward to the test videos. Kudos to FD for the Christmas present, if I were looking for a gun I’d definitely check out their wares.

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

Any woman that gives a feller hand tools for Christmas is a keeper.

[@ElementalMaker]

That she is! Happy New Year!

[@operator8014]

Use a lever arm to transfer the linear thrust force into a decreased torque, and then multiply your result by the ratio of your lever arm. Tiny load cells can do big jobs, and big load cells can do tiny jobs.

[@ElementalMaker]

Yeah, my only concern is that the increased moment of inertia from a heavy/rigid lever arm will hurt reading resolution because the burn time of a rocket engine is so short.

[@jmar1371]

7075 is tough stuff, but doesn't take heat well. That's why we use 6061 and 6063 for motor cases. Not as strong as 7075, but handles the heat better. The aluminum nozzles won't last with composites, you'll want graphite inserts for that. Also... Highly recommend you read "ECP" by Dr. Terry McCreary, before someone gets hurt.

[@ElementalMaker]

I read Prof McCreary's ECP about a decade ago when I was first getting into composite rocket motors. Still have it with all my composite motor supplies. What an incredible resource he created there.

Really nice, look forward to many videos of them in action. I started rockets with knsp, finally expanded into apcp... Fun stuff, I now prefer apcp, no hot melted fuels to try to cast grains with.

[@ElementalMaker]

I'm hoping to be doing some apcp testing soon. Experimented with it about a decade ago and get could get anything super reliable, but I think with my better equipment today I'll be able to get some food results. I may have to grab your email to use as a resource for some compositions. I have Terry McCrearys book with some comps in it.

[@SeanBZA]

Just remember a 500N load cell can be taken to 1000N for a very short time, will just cause a zero shift in the cell for this, and long term it will eventually fail, but for short term use will qork fine. If you want to have better accuracy get a 250kg loadcell (2500N) and use it at the lower end of the scale. Longer life, less drift and slightly more noise, but overall much better. Better loadcell to get is one that is designed for inline use, typically looks like a puck, much easier to mount and also has the important overload protection built in, and also no errors from offset forces. The screwdrivers are very very nice, much better than the run of the mill ones. Just never let them out of your sight, they get magically broken. I have a pair of the dollar store ones for that purpose, just buy a new set when one breaks.

[@ElementalMaker]

Yeah I was looking for inline load cells, but the Chinese dont make any cheap knockoffs like they do with the cantilever beams, and knockoffs are all that are in my price range. I also just picked up some wally world brand supertech screwdrivers. Gotta say, I'm actually impressed with them. Maybe because I was expecting so little, but definitely workable for chores around the house when I dont want to misplace my good vessel drivers.

Are you going to build a static test cell with shielding incase of explosion to test the new rocket? I don’t doubt that the guys at foley defense are great engineers but accidents do happen, and we would hate to lose you.

[@ElementalMaker]

Yeah I have a big 1/2 polycarbonate blast sheet that I will set up for testing. It's heavy as hell to drag around, but definitely worth it.

[@locouk]

When you make the fuel, you cook it. When I’ve made it I just thoroughly mix the powders and compact it. Which is best? 🤔

[@ElementalMaker]

Typically propellant that is melted together has better performance, but either way works. I make engines both ways all the time. Its just so easy with the sorbitol fuel because of the low melting point, high margin of safety, and superb workability.

That they do! Makes for an excellent hybrid engine. Only catch is you have to separately store the pressurized N2O. Oxygen also works great.

noice amounts of fan love! nice to see you giddy about it, as am i to see you put it all to use! anyway, you seem to have a vast knowledge of *things* and i have a random and possibly stupid question: are there *any* uses for cigarette ashes? I've had a collection for a while now which was supposed to be used as a nutrition enhancer for plants. I've seen no noticable changes from using it as opposed to not using it. if you know of anything or any way to utilize it, I'd like to know what it would be. if you think you could put some to use, i might could find a way to send you like a half quart ziplock bag of it. they are from menthol cigars if that matters and I've noticed a bit of a vinegar similarly in the way it smells. I'm not guessing it could be used as the carbon portion in gunpowder, but i figured, who better to ask.... except maybe Cody. homeboy has a use for *everything* it seems.

[@SeanBZA]

Nope, ash pretty much is only going to be useful as plant nutrition, especially for plants in poor soil. for regular plants mix it with some Epsom salts 50/50, and then dig into the top layer of soil, then water. you typically use a teaspoon per small pot, and it will make a big difference then. for rockets they would be an unburning filler material, pretty much what you do not want in a rocket, unless you are using something like a solid/ liquid propellant. with the liquid being chlorine flouride or FOOF, in which case pretty much anything will be a fuel.

[@ecliptix1]

You can make potash from ashes, although it's typically done from wood ash. I don't know how well it would work from what you have. I believe Cody's Lab did a video on it a while ago, or you can easily find the process via a google search

[@pyrusrex2882]

What are those motors good for?

[@theterribleanimator1793]

They are rocket motors, most rockets are made out of a polymer, and have a ceramic motor, which often break during flight and reduce the travel time significantly. These metalic motors will not break, and can maintain a higher pressure if you can pack in a better propellent, without exploding or breaking the motor.
