    I am a distant relative of the Lee family from the same area. Most of my family on that side lost their lives in Coal mines. I have fought, starved, and survived that life to work in the aerospace and military supply area. I was on the Trident missile program and Raytheon missiles. A late starter at age 32, I am a living example you never give up and fight until your last breath. I am now with a a break-off company from Raytheons best inventors to help with innovation and new future ideas. We are part of our ancestors and though we improve on those characteristics, we should still be thankful for the sacrifice they made.

    So, build your rocket, with everything that you want it to fly with and in the approximate location of where you want your items to be. Then "teeter-totter"(highly scientific) static balance it on the table, and mark that spot. Take your string and tie it to that balance point, and give it a swing. If it swings straight into the airflow,,your getting closer to flight. Once that's set,, start moving the string back(twoards the fins) until the model goes unstable to see where the CP is to make sure you have the body tube diameter margin away from the CG. Yes??.

    What effect do the walls of the tunnel have on tests like these? I recall that the NACA* guys had some way to compensate when testing airfoils, but I don't know what it was. *Before NASA. Lots of great info dug up by them.

    Just look how the post starts wobbling when the string is pulled in. Angular momentum is clearly transferred from the ball to the setup. Conservation of angular momentum is only conserved in an isolated system.

    • @Dooley13
      @Dooley13 2 месяца назад

      This will depend on the materials you use (as well as how you connect your members together). A given material will have a tension member capacity and a compression member capacity -- these known values tell you how much force, in tension or compression respectively, a member can sustain before failure.

    So when the mass is increased with a constant parachute area and shape the drag coefficient should decrease? the greater the mass the higher the terminal velocity since terminal velocity is squared and is inversely proportional the drag coefficient should decrease right?

    • @labratscientific1127
      @labratscientific1127 5 месяцев назад

      For wind tunnel testing the horizontal or vertical orientation doesn't matter. What does matter it that the test object is in the right orientation with respect to the "relative wind". For the rocket, the nose needs to be pointing into the relative wind - the wind generated by the wind tunnel. As far as the rocket is concerned, there is no difference whether the test is done vertically or horizontally as long as the rocket is pointed into the airflow - the stability dynamics are the same. All pitch/roll/yaw dynamics act about the CG and the CG does not change for the vertical or horizontal direction. All NASA rocket wind tunnel tests are performed horizontally. In addition, it is much easier to build a big wind tunnel in the horizontal plane rather than the vertical. Hope this helps...

    Why does the nose produce lift when it's symmetrical?

    • @labratscientific1127
      @labratscientific1127 6 месяцев назад

      The nose is symmetrical relative to the air flow when its axis of symmetry is aligned with the air flow (i.e. no angle of attack). The rocket is always pitching (or yawing) during flight and thus has a oscillating angle of attack (negative, zero, positive, and back again...) When the nose cone is at an angle of attack it is no longer symmetrical relative to the airflow and thus produces lift. If you had really big fins the rocket would be very stable and the oscillating angle of attack would be small. In this case the nose lift would also be small.

  • @user-kn2pv2nb2e
    @user-kn2pv2nb2e 6 месяцев назад

    Простая стабилизация не выход. Необходимо проворачивание ракеты вокруг продольной оси. Для этого хотя бы поставьте стабилизаторы под небольшим углом 1-2 градуса к продольной оси. Самостабилизация ракеты происходит тогда, когда центр тяжести ракеты расположен впереди центра давления воздушного потока. Ваша ракета будет летать нестабильно.😊

    What's the intuition and mathematical justification of why the CG of the lateral area approximates the rockets CP?

    • @labratscientific1127
      @labratscientific1127 6 месяцев назад

      I didn't come up with the approximation method, but the "logic" is that the area of the components (fins, body tube, nose cone) are an indication of the associated lift. The body tube is symmetrical and balances at its CG. The CP for a cylinder is at the its center. Thus the CP is at the same point as the CG for the shadow model. As the area of the fins gets bigger ("heavier" on the shadow model) it pulls the shadow model CG back. The "heavier" fin shadow is akin to more fin lift. As the nose cone gets longer or the shape changes the nose cone shadow becomes "heavier". For example, an ogive (curved) nose cone shadow model has more area and thus is heavier than a conical nose cone shadow model, and in reality the Ogive nose cone generates more lift than an conical one. The shadow model is a very crude predictor of stability...

  • @RandomRoulett3
    @RandomRoulett3 6 месяцев назад

    4:16 I think the better explanation would be if you take the total cross-sectional area of the rocket and divide it by two, the dividing line would be the center of pressure. The drag produced on each side would be equal to each other.
