Rocket Motor Test Stand

[@TravisRez]

Leaving an Everyday Astronaut video to watch a Scott Manley Video and leaving that video to watch a BPS video. It’s just a space day and I’m 110% okay with this. Really interested in this since I’m building a rocket motor test stand of my own.

hi

[@CopenhagenSuborbitals]

Applause for screwing a screw while perfectly pulling focus at the same time (9:33). Well, also for the test stand!

[@BPSspace]

Thanks!! Took a few tries to get that one :)

[@Philip8888888]

I know, the editing details are incredible!

[@brendan-from-mars]

What a day: Everyday Astronauts Aerospike. Scott Manleys Space Suits, Our Ludicrous Future and an awesome video by our Joe! And we see Mach Diamonds :-))

[@anthonydomanico8274]

Brendan Berg, I cant wait to delve into the aerospike documentary and the others you mentioned. No spoilers cuz I’m saving them for my Saturday morning routine lol.

[@knobscortcher]

I just came from Scott Manleys and Everyday Astronauts videos.

The editing is just amazing Joe! Really polished and the hard work you put in shows!!

[@DaedalusCommunity]

2:35 WoooOOW every engineer should have a degree in music, I love this.

[@YourMJK]

Daedalus Community I think he cheated a little bit in post there. I doubt they actually were perfect octaves and fifths in reality

[@DaedalusCommunity]

@@YourMJK yeah he obviously pitched the cnc sound to match the key of his music, but the result really is stunning, that fifth therr gave me thrills :)

[@christianresources1912]

I ran away to music school first w a performance scholarship... my dad was MAD... 2ND quarter... they made me the prototype tech... in the center for music research ... had my own hardware lab....w a big stereo system it it too... life is always good ! GOD LOVES ME....! Now I want to design rocket engines...

[@OrionAerospace]

Joey B you cannot go releasing these videos while I'm halfway through the new Everyday astronaut video! It is too much for my little brain to watch both of you at the same time. P.S loved the enthusiasm and overall tempo of this video! Top stuff as always

[@nakamotolikesyou]

The amount of effort and time that goes into each and every one of your video amazes me.

[@alexnorthup]

I've watched 40 seconds of one video. You are explaining gritty details other channels would gloss over. I love you.

[@Alex_Howe]

I'm super impressed by your editing. You either A: pitch-shifted the audio of the CNC to match the music or B: made the music to exactly match the footage. Either way it's nuts and I remember something like it in the last video as well. Very cool 👌 Edit: I mean the first footage of the CNC. After it is not matched.

[@BPSspace]

Thank you so much! I pitch shifted the CNC! that was the easier option :)

[@ixisuprflyixi]

I had to check to see if the vid was on 1.25 speed. Joe is so enthusiastic!

[@Caspar_Stanley]

Loved the CNC music, matching the pitch and rythm. Love that you're spending more time on the videos Joe!!

[@CanineDefenseTechnologies]

Amazing! I love the test stand! The fruit of you labor shows even more when you have to machine your own parts!

[@daemoniumvenator7099]

In 2017 I started watching your videos and in 2018 I didn't really have time anymore. But I must say. You've improved alot. You're more confident, put more effort and time in your videos and you bring life into them to. So keep up the great work Joe and remember... Space is the place

[@jerry3790]

It’s so good to see your channel grow by 2 orders of magnitude

[@hightechhippie]

All around great production!! your channel is one of my favorite, cause you know how to Geek out! We get good video with nice edits,, slow mo, Rocket motors with mach diamonds, self built PCB's, Test stands, CNC, 3D printers, test data,LED's,Flight Computers, just to name a few. Your STEM game is Strong !!, Thank You Sir for sharing with us!!!

[@KnowledgePerformance7]

So here's the thing, this screencap didn't really need to go here but I LOOOOOVE the B2 and it's my desktop and that's the story and thanks for coming to my TED talk 2:59

[@jeffvader811]

Your energy and enthusiasm is contagious! it's hard to watch your videos without grinning.

[@lilyrooney]

Neat video **looks at the other camera** and arguably even neater editing

[@phaniavireddy]

its awesome how you even mention CNC in your video title for attracting cnc enthusiasts and keeping true to your rocket stuff.

[@JohnBoen]

I was thinking "I wonder how many parts he ruined before gedding all he needed". 5:05 THUMP I've done that! Love your channel!

[@scromly1169]

Love how you’re able to keep a science video exciting and funny! Awesome job at enticing new viewers, and keeping old ones watching your vids joe!

[@amosma8586]

"If it doesn't have LEDs is it really science?"😂 I like that you start machining. 👌Now you can build everything.

[@Iwaswrong578]

Wow that’s awesome!!! I love your creativity and enthusiasm!!! Keep up the great work on all your endeavors Joe!!!

[@U2EdgeFan]

Amazing how much effort and enthusiasm you put in your ideas. Also your presentations are extraordinary. I would be interesting how much you already spent for your equipment.

[@hypepotatoe]

DJ CNC dropping some sick beats

[@op.par.3534]

You put a lot of effort in your videos and I appreciate that

[@StingerPhilip]

This video production quality is so pristine, that I decided to make an exception and hit the like, and I have liked less than 150 videos since 2009.

[@DeltaSpaceSystems]

Nice Job Joe! I hope you fly with those F23’s! 🦀🚀

[@tglascoe1]

Loving the Winged Hussar pin! I love NDQ!

[@harry979]

I am so glad to have a bps space video to watch. Keep up the good work

[@Ender436]

Awesome designing and high speed footage! Keep up the *amazing* work

[@dlh_a350xwb8]

Your videos are soo well edited both visually and audially! It's a joy watching them.

[@mynameisjeff-spaceposting1417]

I am a machinist in the federal government. Work tends to demoralize me with its old school methods, bureaucracy, and inefficiency. Your state-of-the-art technology and methods and your ambition and innovation motivate me to strive for my own projects and ideas. Thank you for sharing your positivity and your creations with us. You're inspiring a generation of innovators

[@Amal-uz4cv]

your editings actually getting better, love the humour!

[@chrisjohnson9755]

I had to take a shop course at school, and while I sucked at it, I couldn definitely tell haha. That being said, as with everything in life, you just gotta send it. Awesome project!

[@Mythos361]

You are just the right kind of nerd. Knowledgeable, charismatic and you are super interested in things just like the rest of our nerd kind.

[@marysmith5015]

You are a modern day Homer Hickam! Freaking love watching you!!

[@TravisRez]

You also covered something I discovered halfway though building mine. Was originally building it to fire upwards but then thought about the change in mass issue and rebuilt for horizontal flight. Still some fine tuning of the software before a first test but love your design and looking forward to seeing it in use more!

[@F_itaca9456]

We all want you to be a giant actor in the tech sector so please don't you ever give up!

Top notch editing Joe, I love it.

[@xSz300]

i acually thought he made his own rocket motors too. Since he does everything by himself. Well done man!

[@diego_garcia_cacho]

Fantastic quality in this video Joe, so inspiring always!

[@aerospacenews]

Crafty and nice job on the edit. The mach diamonds on the first motor were a nice surprise.

[@Project-Air]

I like the dual angle camera intro with this one. Might have to steal that. ;)

[@BPSspace]

Thanks! I wasn't sure if it was going to work! It kinda breaks the 45 degree rule but it helps keep the talking segments a little more interesting

[@Project-Air]

@@BPSspace Yeah I totally agree with making it more interesting - always cool to see your creative editing choices!

[@johnsilver198]

Oh, man. I like the speed of this video and it looks emotional. Very good job

[@1kreature]

You know there are special corner brackets too? Makes these really nice closed corners with no L's in em at all.

[@dylanfox3022]

Honestly I don't understand half of the things you say in this video but it's still cool and interesting to watch and I hope you eventually reach your end goal whatever it is

[@CuervoRC]

I'm glad you finally listened to me and used fans, I think at a basic level is what most resembles a throttable rocket engine. 😉

[@RCHeliJet]

Fantastic, nice to see your Work.

[@HayderAbdulridha]

I like how you made the CNC sounds seem like music.

[@ReDMooNTVV]

Video editing's been top notch lately

[@gregorhellmundt9559]

Loved the whole sound design in this one! Super cool!

[@paiggey]

I don't know if you pitch shifted the stepper motor tracking during that first segment but the way you matched it to the synths is bang on. Vstronk presentation.

[@daveduna1]

Time to get a warehouse/workshop space before your neighbors grab the pitchforks.

[@gernith]

No kidding! I hope he's isolating the cnc machine from the floor at least!

[@CptAJbanned]

Another wonderfully edited video. I love how you use machine sounds as part of the music.

[@ЕвгениГеоргиев-т1я]

Keep going man, SpaceX will hire you for sure based on what you learn and do on this channel. Don't forget to post on Instagram.

[@DanielSpiegel]

I appreciate your videos, and your choice of shirt embellishment 😎

[@BobChaz]

Cool daddy-o. Tip - don't use solder paste. Just tin the pads on the PCB with tin-lead solder. It melts easier and wets better. Use a flux pen on the solder bumps and place your parts, and heat. The parts don't stick well with just some liquid flux so be careful, but it works better and saves the nonsense.

[@TheTrexTeam1]

I’m making homemade rocket candy motors on an island in Panama. We got some 3/4” x 1/4” tubes from pyrodirect, potassium nitrate from Panama City, and plug dirt from the ground. I based mine off the King of Random, and I’ve managed to recreate his motors with no plastic; they can degrade in the ocean. I needed Elmer’s glue to keep the gas from working its way around the plugs, popping them out. I am about to do the same test you did but with a spring balance and a camera. I’ll then approximate the mass loss curve off of the force curve ( dm/dt = sqrt(F) ; pretty close) to make a useful model. I plan to make side boosters that pop off with a flip!

[@williamforbes6919]

Just a minor correction, foil strain gauges function because of the etched trace length stretching longer and narrower, mechanically increasing its electrical resistance. Semiconductor strain gauges are the kind which utilise the peizoresistive effect, where mechanical strain affects the conduction bandgap inside of a semiconductor. The Wheatstone Bridge, which I'm sure you already know and don't mention for brevity, serves the purpose of both converting the resistace value into a readable voltage and accounting for temperature induced expansion and contraction through the use of a second opposing strain gauge to balance the signal. Only after that is it amplified and converted to a digital value.

[@dronelabs556]

Brave man. Posting your first CNC Milling experience. Should be interesting to watch you dial in speeds/feeds, surface finish, and tool path optimization.

[@James-vy5ng]

Both you and Everyday Astronaut have such great music in your videos. 🎧😎

[@davecowdrey6326]

Pro tip Joe... coolant. And have a look at a speeds and feeds chart. Will help you get the right cutter speed for the feed rate of the machine (how fast the cutter moves across the material). That way you get a smooth finish. Awesome first attempt though!

[@rileymannion5301]

Definatley watch some ave if you want to learn more about cnc machining he knows a ton and is super straight to the point with how he explains stuff, atleast for me since I'm Canadian like him😂

[@storminmormin14]

Joey B has a CNC? Oh glee! What marvels we’ll see?!

[@meetim6271]

Your blue skies and low wind tagline would suit a paramotor channel.

[@AH-qc1yh]

I am so inspired by your work. BTW I came from Austin's channel.

[@1kreature]

About the load cell mounts: 2 parts whos job it is to hold a third part to attach to a fourth part that could just have been attached to the fourth part directly is a superfluous part... Since you will have to calibrate the loadcell anyways you could just have drilled it out and mounted it to the frame with a t-slot nut. Uber fancy testrig nontheless!

[@ooberholzer]

Your video edition rythmic is great man :)

[@buffkonradin]

Holy macaroni! Another awesome video by Joey Thanks sir

It's best to use a titanium nitride(TIN) or titanium carbonitride (TICN) coated endmills. That coating is more lubricious than uncoated tools.

Wow look at surface finish. Chatter and resonance all over! That machine definitely isn't stiff enough for aluminum; you can see it resonating in the high speed footage.
