Super Capacitor Rocket

Sounds like the rocket yells "WEEEEEEEE!" every time you launch it.

"The parachute worked most if the times, apart from obviously the last time" I think that can be said about most parachutes in the end

The rocket is actually silent. That sound is Tom saying “Wheeeeeeeeee!” Whenever he launches.

The intro is basically Kerbal Space Program when you forget to Put your parachute to something else other than the first stage and you cause the rocket to crash

Am I the only one who finds the little 'Vvvvvwhoooooooo' noise it makes on take off adorable? It's like the rocket is an excited puppy ready to finally fly.

Someone needs to dub the sound of this rocket launching over famous nasa launches. That would be so hilarious.

Engineer type here, for your next upgrade use liquid electrical tape on the ESC wire connector pads, then use common electrical tape to waterproof your ESC, this will eliminate the chance of shorting your ESC if it gets wet from grass or condensation. Look into a counter rotating motor, it has TWO props that spin opposite of each other. When you scale this up (which who wouldn't!) you'll find that the torque generated by a single prop will start to rotate the rocket which is wasted energy after a certain amount of rotation (some rotation aids in stability, past that it's wasted). This was VERY entertaining! Thanks for making this and having the brains to give it a go!

Those first few flights really felt like 'model rocket launchpad explosions'. such fun!

That intro was totally a Kerbal Space Program launch. Messed up staging, summoned the rage of the kraken by having something spinning too fast, and just a short, disappointed “oh” at the self destruction. Now all you have to do is revert to vehicle assembly and you’ll be good to go.

0:00 when you forget to check your staging in ksp

I know this project is 20 months old already (this is the first time I've seen it) but I just wanted to mention that the torque reaction from the spinning prop and motor seem to give the craft some yaw stability issues. I wonder if canting the fins slightly in the opposite direction wouldn't help counteract that effect, at least once it gets up to speed.

The sound the rocket makes when it launches inexplicably fills me with joy.

Who else thought he was gonna make a rocket by overloading a 5 F capacitor until it exploded?

The lift-off sound was adorable XD

I like how happy that rocket sounds. Even when it exploded, like right before it happened, that's the happiest that things ever been man.

I love the slow motion sound of the disappointed "oh". 10:45 Thanks for not editing that out.

OMG the rocket literally goes "wheeeeeee!"

15:30 holding a possibly-bent propeller at eye level while revving the engine is a good way to lose an eye

10:31 ahh. Forgot my staging again

I just discovered your channel. You, sir, are one of the best explainers of things that I've ever encountered. I wish that there were more like you in the public schools. Well done.
