[@yeetmcmeat]

The Titan nerf rocket system would be a good platform to modify like this. it does need to be pumped but it has a trigger(and a pressure gauge) and a much bigger rocket. the main issue would be finding titan rockets, you can get custom made ones since the original nerf ones are going to be old and expensive since they're limited.

[@normalwaffle]

That’s what I was thinking

[@TheSpookiestSkeleton]

I've heard you can turn pool noodles into titan rockets, damn that thing is a lot of fun.

[@ashleybyrd2015]

I'll never be able to see the word "titan" again without thinking about 5 rich idiots who imploded.

[@AWildCooki]

OH MY GOD I had one of these as a kid. You could use thin, cheap pool noodles sold at the 99 cent store on the top of it, and as long as you glued the end shut it would launch them. The air storage tank is also expandable.

[@Moskyrath]

I still have my Nerf Titan with the 2 attachment guns from when I was like 5 lol

[@medicalbeverage]

The missile knows where it is at all times.

[@c4t_the_protogen]

@WiredWestWing and it isnt flying

[@mrbacon8664]

It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is - whichever is greater - it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position that it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is is now the position that it wasn't, and if follows that the position that it was is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation. The variation being the difference between where the missile is and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information that the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it know where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice versa. And by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

As a member of the Nerf community, I enjoy seeing engineering channels, like yours, make Nerf related projects. I just wish The Nerf hobby space is covered more by mainstream engineering Channels like yourself, as well as The Hacksmith and Mark Rober who have both made Nerf related content. Watching you guys modify blasters is like watching someone reinvent a worse wheel.

The remote activated, self-contained ones would actually be really cool for trap set-ups. Hook the remote to a tripwire (physical or laser) and leave the missiles strategically placed to launch where you want (maybe hidden in make-shit barrels, like soda cans or pvp pipes) to help guide them and conceal their presence

[@SantiagoGomez-kx9qx]

Congrats Joel!!! I think you are finding the sweet spot with your vids. Tbh it doesn’t really matter if the idea works, the story leading up to the fails is what I’m here for!! Not all projects will be perfect, but the story you craft is what is important…keep it up

[@renderproductions1032]

I saw the title and I immediately thought of using liquid butane to create the propellant.

[@foximacentauri7891]

Here’s my idea: let two metal contacts stick out of the missile, which act as capacitor chargers. They are always connected to a power source as long as long as the missile is in the launch tube. As soon as the missile gets ejected, the capacitor starts to discharge and sets off the propellant. Good luck!

Love this video and completely agree! The Nerf HAMP system is the worst way to fire missiles! I really need to do some similar experiments as these! I did combine a dudebow with the Roblox missile launcher and it performed pretty well.

[@Yorgos56]

Co2 smack one is so close to a nerf mortar, you have to do that as the next part in the series

[@sp0764]

have the circuit activated by pulling a string out of the bottom of the projectile, then tie the string to the launcher. once the projectile gets 5 or whatever arming distance, it pulls the string right out of the bottom and activates the rocket. no wireless doodads, no switches, no need to break the seal off the foam.

[@AXLB11]

USE THE ONE YOU DROP ON THE GROUND LIKE A MORTAR

"the capacitor is the battery" My god, that hurts, but it's not the worst way to describe it to a layman so I can't complain.

[@notyouroperatingjohndoe1656]

A missile is guided, a rocket is unguided. Btw your content is great keep it up i actually want to see a self guided nerf missile- maybe impossible who knows

[@notyouroperatingjohndoe1656]

The TOW rocket system uses an actual wire to send commands, so that is an option or you could just go the way of the javelin and have it be fire and forget- harder on you and more work on the actual missile bit it is possible with some time.

When I was a kid, there was a nerf rocket launcher that used an air reservoir and launched a HUGE rocket. A friend had one, and that thing was wicked! It hit with a mountain of force, and could knock a kid over off of his bicycle. It was one of our favorite games. Lol

[@dsmck047]

Would a plastic tube insert with the firing mechanism at the head or mid way be an improvement? Rather than dismantling the rocket every time to modify it, perhaps a simple addon insert to each rocket ammo with a calculated weight distribution for the average rocket based on achievable/desired distance.

3d print your own nerf rocket launcher (if possible)

[@Maxinepat2024]

You know how you were having trouble with it being unstable you could have the launcher stabilize it somehow maybe spin it before it launches but precisely because it's done by a machine and you can still be spinning it when it ignites and starts thrusting and maybe try a bigger rocket engine if you want it to go further

what if you put a sensor near the middle of the nerf rpg and had it detect when the other side was close and then fire off the engine inside the rocket after like .5 seconds?

[@darkshadowsx5949]

why didn't you just upgrade the launcher? put a mini potato cannon in it and adjust the launch psi so it dont just blow up the foam dart. or use a micro controller, servo valve, and an arduino mini to adjust how much butane is in the chamber.

[@Landon-qk4wz]

You should make a propulsion dart from the flare dart that comes in the Fortnite flare run

[@yourbifriendaspen3629]

I like the magnet idea. What you could do, is use the original launcher (and put the magnet on the launcher instead of the rocket) since you said it's hard to stabilize the rocket without the launcher. Since you're using a launcher, you could also add a trigger to it that activates the rocket. This also gets rid of the short radio distance, since both parts would be *in the launcher*
