An HD camera is taped to a homemade “Randomizer Rocket” loaded with a v2.0 homemade sugar motor, and shot up around 1,000 feet high.

Project Inspired By: A design collaboration I did with Ritchie Kinmont (http://bit.ly/SDRandomizerProject)

WARNING:

This video is only for entertainment purposes. If you rely on the information portrayed in this video, you assume responsibility for the results of your actions. Playing with experimental rocket motors could result in serious injury, property damage and/or legal ramifications. Have fun, but always think ahead, and remember that every project you try is at YOUR OWN RISK.

Project History & More Info:

I wanted to know what it looked like from the rocket's point of view, as it launched off with a homemade “Screw-Lock” sugar motor. (Sugar Motor V2.0)

My friend Ritchie Kinmont, who was instrumental in making the Randomizer project happen, did an in-depth search on Amazon and found a small and lightweight HD video camera (1080p) for around $85.

We taped it to the body of the rocket with some electrical tape near the nosecone, and set it off, and were amazed at the footage that came back.

Considering the fins are just hot-glued onto the rocket, the thing flies surprisingly stable, and hardly spins at all, which is very evident in the video.

I later added video cameras facing forward on the rocket body, and one under the parachute, to get different views, and my hope is to one day sit down and edit all the cool footage we got into a music video similar to something out of Top Gun.

This launch documents the successful operation of the Randomizer Rocket, and is very gratifying to me because it shows that you can create a homemade rocket, launchpad, sugar motor with ejection charge, fire resistant wadding, parachute, igniter, and launch controller all from scratch, that work!

I realize most people aren't very excited by building rockets, but for those who are, I hope you feel the same sense of wonder and awe as I did in building this series.

The “Randomizer” rocket can also be used with commercial “Estes” D12-3 and E9-6 black power motors, so there's a good chance you can fly them with your local rocket club.

The rocket can fly over 1,000 feet high, and depending on the winds, can stay in the air for around 5 minutes while it floats back to the ground, so it's important to be super cautious where, and when, you launch to avoid doing any damage.

Rockets are not toys, and this video is mainly for educational and demonstrational purposes. If you’re going to attempt making a rocket yourself, I highly suggest you check local laws and inquire with local rocketry clubs on how to safely make and launch them.
