skyisthelimitinc Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 In this vid you will see the photo from the nice spiraling tail been captured on a caduceus rocket design, these pics is what i used to copy the design, i tried 5% FeTi in one of the drivers, the spiral is there, but filming from under it isnt the best angle to see it
derekroolz Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Yeah..I do see you're point. Sorry 'bout that. Did you watch the video all the way through from 9:27
homebrewed77 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Did you watch the video all the way through from 9:27 Sure did...that was a nice show...
skyisthelimitinc Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Very nice rocket.Nice blue Thanks, yes that blue is very nice, its the KCNkickthecat coloursystem, ever tried it? he developed it not even a year ago, its listed on pyroguide dot com
derekroolz Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Oh I forgot to tell evryone this, But a few comments ago there were some very inapropriate messages put on this thread by my profile, I would just like to let everyone know that my account was being used by one of my friends that wanted some information. So I let him get on my account and ask some questions. Obviously he ended up doing something completely uncalled for. I am sorry for any disturbance I caused to anyone
firetech Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Good to hear Derek. Thank god you're in the right mind...if any of us pyros actually are
JrayJ Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Well that was pretty much the most random post I've seen on the forum...Has nothing to do with rocket's..nor rocket's you made...Or even you for that matter...MOD'S? do you think ya should start a place for double extra random post? derekdroolz...I dont know about you..Personally...I think this might not be the forum you're looking for...Anyway..JrayJ...that sucker kinda liked hanging out where it was for a second..But once it left..it was outta there! You said you had a smoke header on it? Yeah I did, just kinda something I threw together at the last second, as I was more concerned about seeing if it would fly straightish... I'm going to make a few more of these when I get a chance with assorted headers now that I know they'll fly...

derekroolz Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Wow.... that is alot of dowels... I like these... I might just do this instead... there goes my excuse to get a table saw though... Haha maybe you could still get one, say you need it to chop down the dowels into peices for making charcoal.
Mumbles Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Just buy both, and show the wife the huge pile of sticks you just cut.
ActionTekJackson Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Just buy both, and show the wife the huge pile of sticks you just cut. HAHAAHA!!! Ahhh... that was a good laugh... Gonna have to save that option :-)
SleestaksRule Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Here's an entertaining video. Big 20 foot rocket from a party on 1991. Just recently transferred it from tape to computer. Enjoy.
dagabu Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Here's an entertaining video. Big 20 foot rocket from a party on 1991. Just recently transferred it from tape to computer. Enjoy. That was great!! Wow, I would love to see someone repeat that rocket! PGI?
longwaytofall Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Hahaha. Man that thing was ghetto. It was all over when I saw the duct tape coming out! I am glad the motor mount held up.
sparksnsky Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Hello, These are my latest rockets video. Three rockets core burners 30 and 20mm in diameter. I attached small canister shells 1-2'' on them.Break height 100m aprox
longwaytofall Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Nice!! That first shell, is C6 with Ti added? How much and what mesh? That looked great.
dagabu Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 First, the failure. A 6 rocket cluster that failed to pass fire to the second stage, a contest winner if it had worked The rest, well, are interesting. Enjoy! http://pyrotechnics.no-ip.org/files/fun%20with%20rockets.wmv

Enjoy! http://pyrotechnics.no-ip.org/files/fun%20with%20rockets.wmv HAHA love the last one, it is like a dual firework, first a rocket then a fountain..... I have the same problem anyway those were some really good rockets. Do you press or ram?
dagabu Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) HAHA love the last one, it is like a dual firework, first a rocket then a fountain..... I have the same problem anyway those were some really good rockets. Do you press or ram? I guess I need to explain them a little. The first is six 4" 3# rockets designed to raise the second stage to 100' and light it. No passfire The size of the plume from 100' was amazing! It had to be 3' across. The rest with the exception of the last are reclaimed spiral would 3M tape cores that I harvest from a dumpster and all have fuse powder and various percentages of charcoal added to slow the burn down. The CATOs are 10% and the ones that flew are 20%. They are all 6" rockets. The last is an end burner using 100% fuse powder and was not expected to lift off, I thought it would CATO. I like to call it end burner to gerb D Sorry: I press EVERYTHING, I don't even have a hammer in my shop. Edited February 10, 2010 by dagabu
WonderBoy Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 This one was a bit of a failure. I made 3 others identical to this that I shot off right away and they worked beautifully. This one was in a ziploc bag with a silica gel packet for about a month and it lost quite a bit of power and made the delay a lot longer then it should have been. The header was a 3" can with organic red and Win 26 stars, unfortunately it landed on the other side of the tree line. It was 1lb BP cored. Jeff Rocket__failure.wmv
WonderBoy Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 This is what that last rocket was supposed to look like. Except this one only had a kraft tube on top to dump out the stars. Win. 26 and D1. Glitter Rocket.AVI
