you
I'm the hack Smith and on this episode
of make it real hey I'm the real hack
Smith and in this episode make it real
we're testing this awesome Iron Man
rocket launcher made by my friend Jairus
this is the latest project for my
YouTube channel and I wanted the hack
Smith to be the first to shoot it so
tell me a bit more about the rocket
launcher well I've been working on it
for a couple of weeks now it's almost
entirely out of Kydex except for some
aluminum parts inside it has a servo
actuated launcher system and it shoots
actual solid fuel rockets from it unlike
most other ones that you see that just
shoot fireworks awesome and if we wanted
to see how you made it we can check out
your youtube channel I documented the
entire build process there so you can go
find out how I made all the different
parts of it and how I tried to figure
out how to make it work when it didn't
work awesome
there'll be a link in the description
below to check that out let's give it a
shot alright we get this thing on you
alright
[Music]
in order to build the rockets that are
ammunition for this you take your solid
fuel rocket motor you take your cast
nose cone glue it on top and then you
take this piece and you cut out a bunch
of fins from plastic soda bottle
material to glue to the sides as fins
fork so that they can squish down and
fit inside the launcher the process of
cutting the fins is extremely
time-consuming I don't know what he's
talking about these are pretty quick to
cut out
oh come on
and that's how you make goods for these
things
really
we're going to test the Ironman rocket
launcher for the first time and he gets
to do it I'm a little bit worried about
that
that's red hot
so what should I do if that happens
again
stand there pray all right so the last
Rockets got a little jammed inside
launching mechanism but we think was
actually a problem with rock itself so
we've double-checked this next one
and we're going to go on with testing I
said I chewed it but he said he wants to
do it again
we haven't had a whole lot of luck with
him shooting it so I'm going to try once
and hopefully I'll actually get it to go
somewhere instead of just into the
ground
wish me luck it went somewhere alright
so that was pretty awesome the mechanism
works great it opens and closes
beautifully and the ignition system
works pretty much perfectly but the only
problem is the Rockets are extremely
inconsistent and how they fly and my
part too I tried to make them fly right
in test and they worked really well then
but obviously something changed between
then and now future so maybe using some
pre-made rockets could help make sure
they fly a bit more true but all in all
I'd say I was a pretty successful
project and it was friggin awesome being
able to throw my arm up and shoot
rockets just like Ironman to see how he
built the Ironman rocket launcher and a
couple other cool projects click the
links below and don't forget to
subscribe to him that is Amy and also if
you head over to my channel you get to
see an interview with me and him talking
about the ins and outs of trying to fly
like Ironman and before I go I have one
more thing that I want to show you yeah
let's do it
Howard this ah shipping more than safety
