    Water Bottle Rocket w/ Parachute Deployment

    Saw this on Youtue this AM. The water bottle rocket is quite impressive by itself, but throw in the Parachute deployment and I'm amazed.


    Any idea where I can find a design for this?

    Holy Cow! That is really cool! Most of that shouldn't be too hard to reverse engineer. I would like to see the locking mechanism that keeps it from launching and I would like to see how they do the seal. I'm wondering if they fill the inside with some type of sealant and let that dry before actually using the water? I don't think my prints could hold that much pressure without leaking if a sealant wasn't used???

    Hi guys. that's my video and my designs.

    You can get them from: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:294744 and http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:294758

    All you have to do after that is make a launcher. I use the "Cable Tie" launcher. You can get more info from here: http://www.aircommandrockets.com/index.htm

    enjoy!
