Wyatt Science

Originally filmed and uploaded to YouTube 5-31-2015 This is the actual on-board video of the 5-31-15 launch. The rocket veered to the right, flying over a line of pine trees and landing in a near by field. I believe the nozzle was the blame for the rocket going on such an unpredictable flight path.

This is Wyatt Science's '14"' engine design. This engine is our Hyperion design. This engine can produce upwards to 100lbs of thrust over 1 second. I will be testing this further in future videos. If you see this video and you decide you'd like to build this, please use caution, this engine is quite powerful. Feel free to comment, and I will try to help. If this is your first engine, please try something smaller for a first engine.

I will test it later this week. Check out our Wyatt Science page and channel for more videos like this. We also build experimental rockets with both Estes engines and home built engines as well.

Originally posted to YouTube back on October 11th, 2015. This engine test was a success! At first, I didnt believe the scale to be very accurate, and likely it wasn't. However, post inspection of the rocket nozzle, the exhaust seemed to have eroded much of the nozzle on both sides. This accounts for much of the lost thrust. I was hoping to see atleast 50-75 pounds of thrust. Overall the engine test was great and big surprise. Engine Specs: 1" PVC Engine Diameter 14" Casing Length 1/2" Bore 5/16" Throat Diameter 300 grams of propellant at casting Total length of the engine: questions 16.5" tall Max thrust of this test ~42lbs of thrust.

This rocket was a complete success. Even if it did eat dirt. This circuit that I built for this rocket worked perfectly. I was afraid that the rocket couldn't detect apogee, sense I was using a barometer to read altitude. In hindsight, the barometer detected apogee just fine, but I wasn't convinced. So I used a timer instead of sensing apogee. Thus, the chute deployed very late. The chute was designed from a thin plastic table cloth. So, it wasn't going to help much anyways. Perfect flight!!

Not all rocket launches are a success. However, I intentionally put this rocket into the dirt. I was having issues with the circuit I had built for this rocket. I believe the issue was that for some reason, I couldn't get it to fit inside the rocket body. So, I lite the rocket without the circuit board on board, or connected. This put the rocket out of balance, and would never fly straight no matter what. So seeing this rocket eat the dirt, was exactly what it was going to do.

Sugar Launch #2 for Wyatt Science! This rocket, along with the first, was 100% made from scratch from home. This rocket contained a micro-controller, Teensy 3.0. This micro-controller circuit was my first attempt at my own recovery and telemetry system. All things considered, this was a complete success of a flight.

The "Pioneer" rocket was launched May the 30th, 2016. It was my first actual real launch with recovery. All prior attempts exploded on the launch pad, or sailed off wildly into the sky.
