How to Make an Air-Powered Rocket Launcher | I Like To Make Stuff

[@JonPetersArtHome]

The old rocket stuck in a tree thing : ) looks like fun Bob, GOOD STUFF!

[@familiasalgado3374]

Jon Peters Art & Home that tree thing is a tree lol

[@AITEACHERISHERE]

Jon Peters Art & Home lol

[@cherryoverrun3851]

lol

[@fyrstorm2010]

Looks great and that you children are having fun that is the most important part of the build.

[@GraphiteSamurai]

Will be making this for my sons this weekend, Thanks Bob!!!!!!

[@MidnightMaker]

Great project/video! It's great to see the kids involved. A couple of tips for anyone making this: 1. Wrap Teflon tape in the same direction as you tighten the female fitting so it doesn't bunch up. 2. Gender your quick-connect electrical fittings so you can only plug it in the right way.

[@HickLif3]

You are one of the few channels that I don't mind hearing the ads in the video, you do a great job of integrating it into the video while still showing work being done. Most other channels bring everything to a screeching halt to do the add. Good job!

[@Makebuildmodify]

My son and I made one of these last year. We kept adding pressure until the rockets would fail by exploding out the side. So we wrapped them with tape to reinforce them and went until failure again. It was a great engineering lesson and fun too!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Did you keep the little one? You could have very one-sided rocket launcher launch-offs :D

[@areeb6616]

EvanAndKatelyn why would he get rid of his kid?

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Areeb Rasaq bahahahaha!

[@pennyandkenny6211]

Hello

[@Joe-dt7wp]

Loved the subtle SpaceX reference at 6:29

[@bukatasv]

Good project! The launch vehicle is steep, children liked it!

[@brainhack8880]

I made this sane thing but used two pressure chambers, and this video told me a way better electronic system and was way more explanatory than all other videos. Love it!!!!

[@sirajtheruvath]

Really lovely , I am very happy to see your kids are happy with that 😍

[@goodgoat3096]

I had a commercial version of one of these when I was a young boy and you had to put some water in the small 6-8" long plastic rockets and pump the small unit up with a tire pump. This looks similar in function but on steroids. Great project and it gets kids away from video games!

[@ryanthomas8984]

The intro and your reaction to the rocket going off alone was pure gold

[@masterofnone]

Your son is like me in front of camera "what do I do Now? I just look at the camera I guess " great project bob. I did the potato shooter version years ago with my son. It was fun

[@huskerlott]

Well done. We made one like that when my son was about the same age as your oldest. We still get it out a few times a year and now he’s 17. That thing brings dads and kids out of their houses faster than an ice cream truck. Instant block party. They say that PVC is unsafe at any pressure, so we wrapped ours with about five layers of duct tape. If it ever cracks hopefully the adhesive holds down the potential for shrapnel. A kid with a hand pump rarely has the patience to get the pressure very high. Keep up the good work.

[@greg76543210]

The little red car on the nosecone was a great touch!

[@dwitanayawayan7165]

the best part is: keep your kids be inspire and happy in the same time. good works! one of the best youtube channel for a looooong times

[@TheGoggs]

Nice touch with the car on the front of the rocket :D

[@Martin-yl5zb]

Love it how the pressure tank says..,,’not for pressure’ . Great project Bob. Will gave to make it with my kids one day.

[@SpecificLove7]

Love it when you include your kids in the video. And great project too.

[@magicrobharv]

The coolest dad ever !!!

[@WayneBrownWoodworking]

What great memories your creating with the kids!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Fun! I know the kids had a blast with that!

[@scootersworkbench6347]

Looks like a lot of fun for the kids!

[@Prod.Nembutai]

Your kids are so lucky to have you as a dad, Bob!

[@fuzzybust4052]

I can just see when they get into nerf they will have the best tech lmao!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Looks like you had as much fun as your kids. :-) The car on the rocket killed me. LOL

[@Nerdforge]

Skillshare is awesome :) And so is this project. Keep it up!

[@jacktorrance3522]

I didn't know you could link 9V batteries together like that! Genius!

[@TheQuiptastic]

Bob's thinking..."I need to make this bigger...much bigger..." That. Was. Cool! Love the vids with your kids!

[@stevejenqpnelson9770]

Anyone else notice the tiny Tesla on the rocket! LOL Pretty sweet Bob - my kids are going to love this!

[@AhsanKhan-es7xg]

Loved the bloopers

[@19Photographer76]

Great job! Now comes the parachute assembly in a double stage.

[@RaulMitre]

Nice project ! Good mix of wood, electronics, metal and air pressure... And nice Music also !

[@jnieto19]

Definitely gonna be making this for my kids!!!

[@M1CK3YL33]

award for 'cool dad of the year' goes to... love this! keep up the great work!

[@heathnelson]

Can't wait for my kids to be old enough to make this with them!

[@JS-gk9et]

This project, I’m putting high on the going-to-do list.

[@BradDudenhoffer]

Great project. This is definitely going on the list of things to do. No ILTMS Heavy?!

[@Kopitarko]

Brad Dudenhoffer lool. Bob, put that on your todo list

[@codachrome123]

From the ITLMS Heavy it's just a hop, skip, and a jump to the BFITLMS!!

[@dancoughlin7569]

Complete with an ILTMS Roadster ;-)

[@Godriguezart]

i saw that too, nice touch bob! :)

[@GustavandHilda]

Subtle but important detail 🚗

[@dcollins2371]

Just in TIME for the weekend.

[@edtappan]

Very cool! I bet the Air Burst Rockets would work great with this.

[@keithterry2051]

Hey Bob. that is AWESOME!!!!! We went to our MakerFaire in Milwaukee and they had something very similar. They let us build our rockets with foam pipe insulation and duct tape. Kids thought this was a blast. I have to make one....thanks for making this video!

[@Nismo180X]

QUICK PRO TIP. From a cub scout dad that has experimented with this type of device. If you put a penny or two under the nose cone/top of the fuselage and launch it without fins. They will go insanely high, you will lose sight of them. (Optimally 40psi in the chamber)

[@DouglasBerglund1]

Definition of a great dad!

[@CKTDanny]

ILTMS Space Division sounds pretty cool :)

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Yes!!

[@Harhour]

You really are an awesome Dad! Keep up!

[@ronin6932]

What a great way to spend time with children....

[@DarinBeard]

Good dad-ing. "...Everything Bigger." Always a good idea.

[@BuildStuffwithAJ]

Another great project! Ill have to build one of these why my boy gets a little older. I'm sure he will love it!

[@JonathanRansom]

Hey! I've made one of these! Fun build and the kids love it.

[@noahbyrum5784]

I love the little Falcon Heavy reference with the little cat emoji!!

[@Bostonaholic]

Dad of the Year!

[@adam03753]

You're an awesome dad

[@gabesolis4402]

Sweet, Bob! I might make this!

[@project_idea]

Im just sayin...That looks like lots of fun!

[@giorgostzavaras5686]

He is insane. And that is what I like about him!

[@ceb9203]

Bob u must be like the best dad ever with these epic iltms toys and games

[@PaleoHikerMD]

Awesome Bob...gonna make this with the kids :)

[@mikerozman]

That is great. I'm definitely going to build that for me and my 6 year old son. He will love it ... and so will I. Thanks!

[@Omar-tv8mt]

Now that's a cool project..

[@75triviaguy]

You have unfairly raised the dad bar sir

[@simon4realvideos]

Like it!!! We had a rocket like this as kids and had a lot of fun with it! Liked the moment: "... and just make everything bigger" :D

[@joaocarlosmiquilinicordibe9442]

Awesome Bob! A simple and very amusing project

[@Sonal_Mobile]

Awesome! Great way to get the kids interested in science too :)

[@AymanZett]

2:57 ultra magnus is just chilling on the shelf . By the way , great build bob ! I would definitely try to make it . Hope my nephews enjoy them

[@Rutce125]

love it! totally going to add a "space division" to my wood working. keep the great ideas coming!

[@truncellitoj]

2 months for 99 cents? I'm in. Thanks Bob.

[@annabeltielemans6101]

"x-wing" and the red car taped to the rocket! Genius!

[@grandmasteroso9847]

Watching this brings back memories I had in middle school when in my science class I believe, when we all had to make rockets. Mine went the highest.

[@josheadanks9418]

Mine busted my teacher's window when a fin fell off, but I got the most PSI in mine

[@YisraelWealcatch]

Love the little roadster you put there! ;)

[@pieterspeybrouck885]

Nice project. It is lovely to see that you make also projects that kids can use to play with it. Hopefully there will be other simular projects. Keep up to good work.

[@WoodworkingEngineering]

Bonus point for the roadster :D

[@DavidPlass]

What a great dad!

[@ProjecthappylifeNYC]

This video makes me happy. Thanks!!

[@amiralmusawi9030]

You're such a badass. I googled an idea I had, and ended up back here on your channel like always.

[@leopichler]

That rocket *blew* me away

[@nationtheis5093]

Heck yeah man. This is awesome. Thanks for all the great ideas! It’s awesome to see so many cool thing in one place. My family owns a fj60, so we’ll hopefully be making a tool box like you did for your 80. Keep up the good work man!

[@kenderman1]

This 'Tesla' on the end of the rocket was a nice touch. =D

[@TheExterin]

we did something in my technology 9 class years ago i would recommend adding some thinned wood glue to the tip of your rocket so that it stays together on landing. When i made mine i put several layers of it and some inside the tip. we were going for distance and i won it by getting over 100 feet with that setup working multiple times. We also used an air compressor for air instead of a pressure chamber.

[@mathboy1212]

Great vid. I made one of these a couple of years ago.i had 2 upgrades that you could add to your pretty easily. I made a switch on a box with the button that turned on an led when the system was live. That helps for a little safety too. It also made my daughter feel cool when she powered on the system. She would yell " system live, stand back." Also, I made the barrel coupler with threaded couplings so I could swap out the barrel. For Halloween I put a 2 inch barrel on and fired candy up into the air with a wadding of paper towels to for the seal. Great vid.

[@tommybarber5019]

Thanks bob for going in to great detail, I have been trying to make something similar for ages, Thanks!!

[@forestlampcraft472]

Hello to you. Good work,I don't speak your languages but I admire your work .

[@zeyadsaid1838]

I like when you make things that work not some dicorations so keep it up

[@I3urton]

Beautiful. I always wanted such a rocket for myself as a kid. Maybe I'll actually make one some time.

[@MikeTheMaker1]

Very clever idea and I’m digging the little tesla car on there lol

[@MrAndrew990]

Going to build this for my nieces. Awesome job on your book

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks so much!

[@DarthTvo]

I built a similar one with twin storage tanks and i powered the sprinkler solenoid with a 9volt battery in a handle with the fire button on one end. Kids love it.

[@JacobShepherdEngineer]

I also use a single 9v battery for my valve. Makes it super simple.

[@taijuonfire]

I like the little musk homage @ 6:28

[@EchowProd]

Ahah the little car on the top of the paper rocket ! Space X power !!! Awesome video as always :)

[@RSpudieD]

6:28 LOL that little car.... #SpaceBob Love the project, Bob! Nice execution and works good!

[@dropzone1810]

I like the little Tesla on one of the rockets

[@chriscrowder]

I like the mini roadster you had on the one rocket..

[@markusannas6702]

I could only imagine having a dad like Bob

[@douglidz2944]

And the coolest dad award goes to...

[@WayWoodworking]

Looks like lots of fun!

[@malloryrobinson6418]

such a great project! I love how you make things that awesome to make and soo much fun the the kids!

[@sundog8306]

That kid who put the nerf dart in the launcher will win so many future nerf wars

[@RearGardist]

I like how the pvc pipe explicitly states "not for pressure" :D

[@seanedging6543]

Man, your kids must think they have the coolest dad! Great build!

[@Derkenblosh2]

Mac valves are awesome fun and cheap
