Once I wanted to record onboard video of my rocket flight. I had Sony Xperia Go smartphone which I didn't use anymore because it was outdated. It's video recording was still quite OK, so I decided to use it as video camera.
I was a beginner and for several reasons the flight failed. But I still got some video:

Large Case Formers!
Do you really want one? Well, if you do and don't have a big lathe maybe these ideas can help you. I had a smaller cheapy lathe that I bought from a big box store. They don't sell them anymore and I burned mine up trying to make a former that is larger than an 8 inch'er. I contemplated what to do about this and I came up with a...

When casting a cored r candy motor, is there a basic formula to determine core diameter. I believe core should be 1/3rd of the I/D of the grain / motor? Correct?
So if I was to cast my regular weekend blazer ( simple 400mm X 45mm nozzle-less ) I can figure out core diameter no problem, but is the a maximum allowable limit to how far into the motor,...

What is a bombette in the first place? Simply a tube shot from a small mortar, like we see in commercial cakes linked together to shoot 12, 19, 30 shots one after one. Each shot tube contains a slightly smaller tube containing a clay plug holding the delay fuse, stars and flash burst. When they are fired we see a colored rising tail. Red, green, gold, gli...

I've been working off of a supply of real black powder and using the one ounce per pound formula for decent altitude. I'm going to run out of the real stuff soon, and am testing my black powder quality and production process to see what adjustments need to be made to get my shells into the air. One thought was to have a two stage boost, one to...

Hi all,
Here is a 3 lb rocket with Ti tail, the 4 " cylinder has 3/4 " glitter comets and timed reports( the timing was not great) I also put a bottom shot on that must have had a seal problem, because it burst during the shell burst( you can see it in slow motion view, and hear it in the video as almost a double burst.)

Looks like I'll try this blog thing out.
It was a gorgeous day so decided to cook some Paulownia using the old retort method with kettle grill and briquets. I wanted a fresh batch of external heat retort cooking of Paulownia charcoal for burn speed testing vs. Paulownia cooked with the TLUD method. TLUD will cook any size or shape of wood but maybe...

Very cool - a "Post to Blog" function. I thought I'd give it a try, since this post has some hopefully good information in it.
pH Probes and Meters for the (per)chlorate process
I spent far too much time on pH probes today. Again, the idea behind the simple bucket cell is so one doesn't have to mess with pH probes and meters, but I...

Just making this to post some random build pics of stuff I've been working on. Some things are for competition, some are just tests, 4th of July stuff, and fun shootings. Feel free to comment and ask questions.
