3D Printed Explosive Rocket Testing | Feat D&S Creations

[@OrdnanceLab]

This video took forever to make and edit. The weather was just awful for almost the entire week. The rain turned the range into a giant mud pit. Walking anywhere would cake your shoes into giant mud clogs. The cold did not help either. Fortunately, Steve and Jake maintained solid motivation to get the rockets made and videos filmed. Steve is hard at work with the mk 3 variant of the rockets now that fresh data on what works and what does not is collected from our testing.

[@ProPyroPower]

add spin/rotation too the rockets.

[@silentwraithgaming8631]

Have you though to add a small section of metal tubing into the wire guide on the rockets to keep them on the wire instead of sawing through and flying off in random directions?

[@surplusdriller1]

The 3d printed liner was my idea. remember?

[@Prime2112]

It's easier to use a recoilless system as a shoulder fired munition. Easier to have calculated ballistics and interchangeable war heads. Rockets favor best when you up the scale past 120mm or larger. So... Rocket favor mounted platforms, Hydra, hailstorm, and tornado rockets... They also do best of soft ignition moving platforms like aircraft, think of the old HVAR rockets

Better late than never! This video took a while as I had a ton of videos to work through. We launched 21 rockets and ran almost 5 cameras, so it ate up a ton of space on my jump drive. Steve and I compiled a great deal of data from these tests to work on an improved rocket design. Soon, the final project will be complete and we can move onto world domination. NBD

[@bsod4144]

suspend the motor on the front..make like a split yoke design to hold it in the middle on the nose and a wedge under the nozzle with grooves running to the back of the rocket to make the thrust gas bypass the actuall body ...add stabilising X-shape winglets on the back of the rocket atleast as far as the main body lenght...also the grooves that allow the thrust gas to travel from the front of the rocket to the back can be slightly twisted so it adds some spin stabilization...if you make few of rockets where the trailing winglets also have a twist to them..each instance more and more you should be able to dial the twist rate and make it compliment the thrust grooves twist rate, using some high speed footage in like 5 rockets..while i havent seen this design being used anywhere and considering that diverting the gasses around the rocket to the back of it will result in some thrust loss and the pressure it will create in the front of the launcher will also impact exit speed this should work..would work even better if 4 small thrusters are used in an angled diverging thrust nose cone assembly - thats if you can reliably activate them in the same time. if you want more ideas id love to share and help develop them..if you really get down to work you can even print them in vase mode xD

The "undesireable flight path" from the second to last shot on the durable target was actually quite clean - Very little spiraling, looked as if all the fins had deployed properly on the way out, and it had a smooth loft, just so much it went over the intended target. Has D&S tried running these through a software like OpenFOAM to test aerodynamic stability? It could lend some handy clues and reduce the number of physical iterations required to get repeatable results.

[@marblemarble7113]

personal advice would be to simplify the rockets. While cool the folding fin designs require alot more precision in opening then traditional fixed fin designs. Perhaps try a mortar style rocket that way it seats well in the barrel, if youre worried about not producing enough drag for stabilization then use thicker fins or bend the edges. Also try using a aluminum lining for the inside of your launch tube. This will add rigidity, protect from open flame, and absorb heat.

[@GrandpasPlace]

First, Ive done this before and see some of your issues. Though when I did it, I was a kid and 3d printers did not exist so I was working with balsa and cardboard for the rockets and PVC for the launch tube. From what I could see in the video as well as the flight of the rockets exiting the tube, I take it that the nose of the rocket was not stabilized in the tube and the rocket was nose heavy. Meaning it could move as it traveled down the tube length. There are two ways I solved it, one was to make a sleeve for the rocket out of foam that was snug in the tube. This was cut so it would break away as the rocket exited the tube. It worked most of the time. The best solution I came up with was to put a set of fins by the nose of the rocket that made it the same diameter as the inside diameter of the tube. This kept it straight and allowed me to hit targets at about 50 yards. Seeing that 3d printing is a thing now, I would make the front fins an airfoil design and test both straight as well as at a small angle to impart a spin to the rocket. With the short launch tube a spin could help stabilize the rocket as it moves down range.

[@Mr.shorty44]

Pucker factor on the first one is tighter than a black hole singularity. It's like firing an arrow straight up like we did when we were kids, but the arrow can still kill you even if it misses.

[@General_Eisenhower1945]

I feel like these rockets might do better with propellant like the bazooka had, ballistite. They dont make that anymore, so whatever a similar equivalent would be. But that would give you a good instant velocity but only for the length of the tube, at which point inertia will carry it home

Angle the stabilization fins a little bit to create rotation?

[@reformedalien6545]

Hey there, just throwing it out there incase you guys wanna try an open ended suggestion, Perhaps to try and make sure the rocket leaves the tube in a straight line; Try putting a long knotch down the length of the rocket body that slots into a groove inside the tube, or vice-versa (knotch in the tube, groove on the rocket body), so it can leave without yawing or pitching to one side inside the tube, and that way there is less air gaps inside to make the rocket "bounce" around on the inside. And another suggestion, just like the guide wires of a real TOW, perhaps have a very very low tension reel of fishing line attached to the rockets tail so it has something to drag like a streamer as it flies forward out of the tube. That way it has something to help keep the nose of the rocket from yawing as it flies

Really enjoyed the video, great job there fellas! First off you should change from plastic to aluminum tubing to avoid bending, methinks. Someone here mentioned a simulation software, i think there are a few in the market, so yes that would help. Play around with rocket length and OD, and certainly study the fin design. Even the ole' traditional "string-on-the-fuselage" CG testing (whirling the model with a string attached) could help in improving stability. Nevertheless, awesome stuff, looking forward to your next tests!

[@GooseOfYork]

Question from a hobby rocketeer. Are you using commercial model/high power rocket motors (like those from Aerotech, Cessaroni, Estes, etc.)? While reliable, they do have a tendency to 'sputter,' 'pop,' and have a delayed ignition. CATOs like those you experienced are uncommon, but usually occur if the motor is prepared improperly or has manufacturing defects. Try to find some local rocketry clubs for advice; there are some guys there who have been in the hobby for years and would be more than happy to help you with those stablility issues!
