How to create controlled flight?

[Vipertiper]

I would love to use controlled flight by a joystick. To control where it flies, Im using a camera thats fed to my rocket. Which is still being built. I want to it to carry a car battery for a payload and drop it at 700 feet. I have my own plans and is building out of cardboard inside and pvc pipe outside with 2400 heat proof paint just incase it goes higher than expected I want to test the limits of homemade space craft to the max. Later on when Im better, I'll be sending a rocket to 100,000 feet to drop a 5 pound payload that resembles a small capsule. To test larger rockets I'll make.

I have those kind of idea when I was 10 years old.

sounds very cool. I like the way you think. However it may take several million dollars and many years to complete.

Mostly, rockets are designed for a specific flight path and only minor adjustments are needed. makes systems much simpler.

This project sounds very ambitious. I'm happy with a keychain camera and a little video to watch when it comes down. Babysteps. You will need to achieve your Level 3 certification and roadtrip to Black Rock ect. to do anything close to what you are planning. Carmack Prize anyone?

Yes, But Using servos controlled by a arduino board. You could program it to pulse radio waves. Which my program on my pc would read it. Using inputs if have to from the joystick. It would be up to 70$, But you however exaggerated about the money. Since I can use almost like lighters. but it has a throttle. And it has air, And what the air does is it pushes the fire downward. Only costing up to 40$. The gasoline would be up to 25 pounds. Only weighing half its weight. A cheap system that can fly higher and has controlled throttle. Its a design and it takes alot of thought to come up with this :/

Not trying to be mean but.. That doesnt sound like its going to work. At all.

Also gasoline makes some pretty sh1t rocket fuel

You know a good thread when you see one.

Coming with what ? Using gasoline and air as oxidizer?

:/

that's the best one using an arduino to create radio waves.

 

[Vipertiper]

True, But what else can I use, Unless you want me to use oxygen and hydrogen? I could use r candy but the thing with that is it gets quite messy. And im going to need a large pan to cook all of that

wow you really want to make a huge CATO

 

[Vipertiper]

Yes I want to create a rocket that is 20 feet. And Im being serious. If it fails, I'll try again with a better version

ya and throw a car battery from it, I hope you get arrested before you kill someone. Wait I go get some pop corn

Yeah I really dont understand the scientific application of being able to throw a car battery from 700 feet other then being able to see how a car battery reacts when thrown from 700 feet.

 

[Odo]

Also relating to your very low budget you have put up, I have spent 130 dollars in the past week just for one ordinary rocket and the supplies in which to make it fly.
Which includes excess engines, launch pad, launch controller, ignitors, plugs, the rocket itself, recovery wadding, primer and paint, and a lot of other various items.
I dont think you can make your UFO with 110 bucks as you quoted... :/
I really wish this would work, cause if it did, itd be amazing, but It wont.

He just fix the problem of clustering ; we put a car battery in the rocket and use relay to fire the igniters, so even after quit the launch a slow motors can start.

Sorry I'm late, any Pcorn left? I think the good part is coming up!

please make sure you have a stock pile of popcorn! Area66 has his sights set and we're off for some fun. LET THE GAMES BEGAN!

Something about this has shades of the guy who got mad claims the mods ticked him off....can't recall the name.

 

[Odo]

I really wanna know what type of engine you plan on having aboard this thing.
A car battery weighs 20 pounds, you said the gasoline ways 25 pounds, which is also only half of the rocket you said, so this leads to about a 70 pound rocket.
So you need something that can generate 70+ pounds of thrust, running on gasoline, one of the worst fuels for rockets...

As I said this is the kind of idea I had when I was 10 years old, I remember when I was around 12 years old I mix Hydrogen and Oxygen in a modify Bunsen burner to see the trust, at the time I forgot to read the part where they was using Liquid Oxygen and very expensive and high tech compressor to push it in the nozzle. But to be serious; regulating the trust of a hybrid motor it’s something very easy to achieve, you control the injection of the nitrous.

He doesnt want to do it that way, he wants to do it with an Arduino board

No...I recall something like nerd vader.

I'm concerned that Vipertiper's pipe dream will lead to serious injuries and death. Who knows how much property damage or fires he will cause and give us (TFR's) a black eye. And, lord knows, we don't need that and give the Fed's another reason to shut us down.

Vipertiper, let it go and join NAR and learn safe rocketry!

I dont think any damage will come of his dream, considering theres no possible way it will work.
However he should surely join NAR and learn safe rocketry!

Nope. We had a guy a little while back, first post he was asking about rockets, was gone for a bit, and somehow from there he a $1.5 mil to put a rocket to the moon... He spooffed us for a while with some nasty stuff. Bob was deleting threads 2-4 times a day, a real weiner

Or GOX for that matter. But then you have the problem of high pressure tankage, LOX air pressure so storage is a dewar vented adding it to the rocket right before launch just like a reg liqued fueled rocket. Above that a small high pressure tank of helium, helium because the molecules are smaller than anything else to flow through smaller orifices. Nitrogen atoms are huge compaired and you need a bigger tank...I run on I've been thinking of renewing an old project.

Air and gas, no. Air and propane, if you have the money and what he proposes isn't enough. It just isn't.



...I'm padding my post count. I don't know how to do those multi-quote posts
