So there have been some questions going around about the 37mm launcher system. How does it work? What are the components? Etc.
Well, Vlad, my partner in this venture, has written up a bit of an explanation where he got the original idea and goes over, in some detail, some of the components. It’s at http://hacksrus.com/~
Vlad’s post goes over the original idea, propellant, shells, and some of the arming ideas we have come up with. In this forum, we’re going to do a post about the electronics, cameras, battery packs, etc.
But go read Vlad’s post. He has GREAT details about the components and ideas!
Oh, and for the video of our first launch, go here. http://www.youtube.com/user/quadling1#p/a/u/0/u0OZ45EvO8o
Only the first minute or so is useful, but we left the whole thing there so you can watch our failure drills.
