Launching a #SpaceX-style Electric Rocket w. Ivan Miranda | Pt 2 | James Bruton

That's right, I'm doing a #SpaceX-style rocket collaboration with Ivan Miranda:    / superazote   The brief we set each other was to design electric rockets that could land upright again and be reusable - just like Elon Musk's company SpaceX. We're both using Electric Ducted Fans (EDFs) and various control methods. In this part, I show the CAD design, the build and wiring as well as some of the coding that went into the gyroscopic flight control and flight stability systems. The Arduino autonomously controls the rocket stabilisation but rather than have a rocket drone, there's also manual control and override built-in as well. Check out Ivan's channel for his build video and his other projects! ① GENIUS No MacArthur grant yet. But while I’m still waiting by the phone for that call, maybe you might patronise me with your Patreon-age. Or, if you’re all out of digital cash just comment on one of my hilarious Instagram pics, pop me a Tweet or generally yell in my direction.

Like, inside out Farm Foods bag decline. Plus a very special shoutout to Aleph Objects, Inc who keep me in LulzBot 3D printers and support me via Patreon. https://www.lulzbot.com/ Why not join my community, who are mostly made up of actual geniuses. There’s a Facebook group and everything:   / community   ② XROBOTS Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it. XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available. ③ MUSIC AND SFX The majority of the music and SFX used in my videos is from Epidemic Sound http://share.epidemicsound.com/xrobots
