This one is from September when we flew our
large Polaron G2 rocket again with fall away boosters. <br />

<br />
At the end of the
video are also club member's HPR rocket flights that took place on the
same day.<br />
<br />
Although we published this video a couple of months ago, I am including it with this post as it was filmed on the same day. It is the first flight of our Light Shadow rocket:<br />

We hope to start publishing videos and flight reports again on a more regular basis this year.

Here is a couple of videos that show its construction. We intend to use this rocket to get our L1 certification if it works. :)<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On a recent trip to NSWRA's HPR launch site at Mullaley the conditions were less than favourable, and so we didn't get to launch our big Polaron G2 rocket. In the 30km/h+ wind conditions I don't thing it would have even been possible to make it stand vertically. So here is a highlights video from the rest of the day. </div>

Although a little dissapointed, we were still happy to catch up with club members and watch some of their rockets launch. We'll be back at the launch site in September for another try. (Hopefully also with a new rocket project we've been working on ;) )George Katzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05735356042927822858noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38795037.post-54354666482255429912016-06-02T15:51:00.002+10:002016-06-02T15:51:48.646+10:00How to measure the altitude of your rocketEarlier this year we looked at 4 different techniques for measuring the altitude of a water rocket. We used all 4 techniques on the same flight so we could compare them for their accuracy. We repeated the experiment 3 times just to make sure. Here is a highlights video that looks at the results as well as the reasons for their differences.<br />

We're continuing to catch up on the launch reports from the last couple of months.<br />
<br />
On June 14th when we arrived at the launch site there was still some fog so we quickly launched a rocket to see if we could get above it.<br />

We also flew a long boom on the rocket to see if we could get a shot of
the entire rocket side on.<br />

build and launch rockets, just not write about them. I am now finally
catching up on the launch reports.<br />
<br />
Here is the first one from back in
March. We looked at the variability in measurements, as its important
to understand their magnitude when doing various performance
comparisons.<br />

Construction on this
project began in June last year, and we had a chance to fly it 3 times
at the recent Thunda Down Under event in Westmar QLD. <br /> The rocket
was designed to try to set a new personal best altitude record. We
progressively increased the pressure on subsequent flights to finally
achieve an altitude of 1752' or 534m. <br />

<br />
Two weeks ago we had the opportunity to fly our full size Polaron G2 rocket with boosters at Australian Rocketry's <a href="http://thunda.com.au/">Thunda Down Under</a> international launch event in Westmar QLD. <br />
<br />
We were glad to finally get this rocket in the air after several years of development. It didn't take several years to build, we just procrastinate a lot. <br />

We flew the rocket successfully a couple of times, and are looking to now move on to Phase 3, - adding a 2nd stage to the main stage. We are likely to fly this rocket again in the current configuration though in calmer conditions as the two recent flights were affected by strong wind and didn't go as vertically as we would have liked. There may have also been a small stability issue close to booster burn out due to the large amount of water still in the bottom of the main stage that used a very small nozzle. This rocket had been designed for a long burn rather than altitude. It had a predicted burn time of around 10 seconds. We didn't quite achieve that but at ~8 seconds it was still fun to watch. <br />

We have tested the launcher release mechanisms individually at full pressure, but this will be the first time we do a high pressure synchronized release. <br /><br />The boosters in this test are only the lower half of the final flight hardware G2 boosters. Each of the boosters in this test has a capacity of 5.25L. We are using a rebuilt Axion G2 rocket for the main stage with a capacity of 8.2L. All up for this test the we will use 8.6 liters of water per launch. <br /><br />We are also testing the new booster retention mechanisms that will be used on the final rocket. We have previously tested half the mechanism on the main stage, but now we're testing the booster half of it as well. <br /><br />We'll be launching this rocket at our high power launch site in about a week and a half. <br />

I've added a number of photos to the build log here: <br />
<a href="http://www.aircommandrockets.com/polaronG2.htm#_171013">http://www.aircommandrockets.com/polaronG2.htm#_171013</a><br /><br />I've also included a video of how we reinforce the spliced bottles with fiberglass. All the fiberglassing is now done so next we need to do some pressure testing on the segments. We have also been making progress with the new launcher we are building for the rocket. <br /><br />Here is a mockup of the final rocket configuration, with the boosters just taped to the side because the retention mechanisms are not finished yet. ... we're going to need a taller ladder, or use the tree.<br />

The delays with the updates have been mostly due to not being able to launch at the regular Doonside launches with our local rocket club because of the total fire bans here in Sydney. There have been many bush fires in the area recently. We could launch at the local park but the launch site is a little too small for comfort. <br /><br />My wife also spent a week in hospital after surgery and so I've had to do more work around the house with the kids and helping them with their school activities. Life is settling back to a more relaxed pace now so I'll have time to do updates on a more regular basis again. When I have limited time for rockets, I prefer to build them than write about them. <br /><br />We've been fiberglassing more spliced-quads for the Polaron G2 rocket over the past week and have been discussing with dad about the launcher modifications we'll need to make for the rocket. We'll post more on this in the Polaron G2 build log in the coming days. <br /><br />Last month we also did some static tests on another rocket as a part of the upcoming test flights at the next launch. We'll post the video of these tests at the same time as the flight tests when we've had a chance to actually launch the rocket. <br />George Katzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05735356042927822858noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38795037.post-63646112030705626192013-08-19T08:30:00.000+10:002013-08-19T08:30:20.330+10:00Gravity MechanismsWe had a great launch weekend last week with beautiful weather conditions. We also finally flew an experiment that we've been wanting to do for a while.<br />
<br />
One of the things that we see quite often are designs for parachute deployment systems based on "gravity" mechanisms that attempt to detect apogee when the rocket tips over. <br />
<br />
So we flew a couple of experiments that show what actually happens to these mechanisms in flight:<br />

<insert video=""><br />The full write up of the experiment is here:<br /><a href="http://www.aircommandrockets.com/day136.htm">http://www.AirCommandRockets.com/day136.htm</a><br /><br />This includes photos and a highlights video from the whole day. We also had a go at using the 240fps mode on the GoPro which turned out quite well. We're not quite game yet to put the GoPro on a rocket. We could probably protect it from impact, but the real danger is getting it stuck up in a tree. <br /><br />We are going to fly a few more mechanisms in the coming weeks to demonstrate how they behave. </insert>George Katzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05735356042927822858noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38795037.post-19188634457137254762013-06-17T15:00:00.001+10:002013-06-17T15:00:53.138+10:007 Years of ....In order to celebrate 7 years since our very first launch we've put together a video of some of the valuable lessons we've learned over the years.

We have successfully tested a simple laser device for helping to find lost rockets in tall grass. It is mostly designed to find small pyro rockets that typically don't carry other forms of trackers or GPS transmitters, but it is equally useful for finding water rockets. Full details of how the LaRF works are here:<br />

<b>Shadow II Repairs</b><br />The Shadow II has been repaired and is ready for flight again. We still need to do a pressure test to make sure everything is good.

<b>Launcher Upgrades</b><br />
We have upgraded our quick launcher to be completely tool-free now so it is easy to quickly change configuration depending on the types of rockets being launched. The update includes a video.<br />

This time though, we filled the middle 3 spliced-pairs with different coloured water to see if we could change the water stream colour mid flight. (As opposed to 3 simultaneous colours as we sometimes fly in boosters) The results turned out fairly well and we were able to get the colour to change from pink to blue to green.<br />
<br />
Here is the full flight report from the day:<br />

We also attempted the Materials challenge again, but this time with fins that were attached better. We were happy with the results, and achieved a flight time of 8.8 seconds.

Almost two weeks ago we had a go at one of the <b><a href="http://www.aircommandrockets.com/10_Challenges.htm">10 challenges</a></b> we set a while back - the Materials Challenge. Basically you have to build a water rocket using only PET plastic bottles. You are not allowed to use any glue, tape or any other materials! It was a fun challenge and things didn't quite work out as we planned but we'd like to visit it again to improve a couple of things in order to get more performance. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Because we couldn't use our regular nozzles for the challenge (they are not made of PET), we also built a Clark Cable-tie launcher to launch the rocket. We've also put together a tutorial on how to make the launcher. It fits a standard Gardena release head so it can be used it with our regular launchers.<br />

The Shadow II had fun scattering itself around the launch pad, but it's unusual CATO was interesting to see and has given us some more insight into possible failure modes of high pressure water rockets. It also drives home how much energy is inside these rockets and why it's important to remain at safe distances at all times. The report goes into some detail about what we think happened.<br />

The Shadow had a couple of minor issues. One was a small launcher leak where the hose quick connector screws into the launcher, and the second was that the on-board camera didn't record. The flight went really well though and we ended up with a new altitude PB. We will have another go at the next launch.<br />

We also flew the Inverter rocket for the first time. It also had some issues and ended up getting some damage when it hit hard. Overall though we were very happy with the flight as a lot of things did work.<br />
We learned that the overall concept works especially with all the internal restrictions. It flew nice and stable and the rocket segments didn't twist around the rocket axis. We are already half way through the repairs and should be ready to fly again in a couple of weeks. <br />

One of these is the Inverter rocket that we hope to fly this upcoming launch on the 26th. We have made up a separate build log for this rocket here: <a href="http://www.aircommandrockets.com/inverter.htm">http://www.aircommandrockets.com/inverter.htm</a><br />

The projects update is here: <a href="http://www.aircommandrockets.com/day128.htm">http://www.aircommandrockets.com/day128.htm</a> In the update we also describe and show the damage done to a rocket that had been stuck in a tree for around 392 days. It had been exposed to rain, wind storms, cold and hot temperatures. It even survived a grass fire a few months ago. <br />

It's been quite a while since the last blog entry, so we thought we'd get this year started with a simple tutorial on how to make fairings that fit between bottles joined with tornado tubes. The step-by-step tutorial including video is here:<br />

<br />
<br />
We haven't been sitting too idle (well maybe a little) during the holidays, but we have a few new projects to present this year. There are some new and some big rockets being worked on. We'll do running build logs for these again like we did for the Shadow, which makes it easier to follow progress. There are some new experiments to be flown in the MicroLab and some high pressure static tests to be done that we hope will show some interesting results. <br />
<br />
We are planning to launch the Shadow II again on the first available opportunity this year which is Jan 26th (weather permitting). We will attempt to launch it at a higher pressure than last time. <br />
<br />
We wish everyone all the best for the new year and good luck with your projects!

It was a bit of a slow day so we put together the hat-trick video. It took us a couple of goes to get the right shot:<br />

<br />
<br />
We've also had a few people ask if we could put together a video of our typical launch procedure, so that has also been included in the update. A third video of the flight highlights from the day has been added.<br />
<br />
Lastly the update also includes some photos from the Macquarie University Astronomy Open Night where NSWRA had a stand, and did some demonstrations.<br />

We only flew a couple of small water rockets, but wanted to get a couple of different camera angles for the flights. The first one was the classic chase cam with two rockets launched following each other with the first filming back towards the second.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The second was boom cam with a high speed camera attached to one end of a boom which was pivoted at the other end. The camera points back towards the pivot point.<br />

They required some water rockets and a launcher for some of their scenes, and so we helped them decide on the design and ended up making the rockets for them as well. Dad and I got to come out on the day of the shoot to help set up and launch the rockets. It was a fun and very interesting day.<br />

<b>Servo Timer IIs</b><br /><b></b><br />We have also started making another batch of the Servo Timer IIs as we have had quite a few requests for these over the last several months. The servo timers are now available for purchase from here:<br />

They are a little cheaper than the last batch as we were able to get better volume discounts on the components.<br />
