Cluster Discussion (Patreon)

Hey everyone! We're finally doing it. This Tuesday, we're recording a podcast on cluster ignition techniques and want you all to weigh in.

What methods have you used for cluster ignition, how many motors, what size motors, etc, are you using?

What questions do YOU have for us?

Yes, we will be discussing copper thermite. However, spoiler alert, we're not going to go in-depth with our procedures for legal reasons. We don't want to be putting out "how tos" and having folks get hurt with our names on the tin.

Fire away!

I’ve had an idea to do a cluster with a cascading air start as it makes its way up is it a thing to do that already basically center motor to get it off the pad then starting 2 more motors at say 100 feet and 2 more at 200 feet or something like that

David Bilia

Also what are best practices for clusters without a center motor 2,3,4 where if one does not lite it’s gonna get a little wonky

I built a LOC Ultimate PK-66 https://locprecision.com/products/pk-66-ultimate a while ago, but have yet to fly it (at all). Do you have any recommendations for first flight and more importantly, for a 7-motor flight? I don't have 7 29mm cases before you ask ;) I actually have only flown 38mm+ motors and I only have 1 29mm case, an old Monster 29/100 that has never flown that I bought in 2008, but I plan to at least get a 29mm Aerotech 29/60-360 Combo, or similar. Tho, I can get 2 360 cases for about the same cost as the 60-360 combo (minus the FSD, Aft Closure, & 29RAS). Anyway, all thoughts welcome

Exactly, that’s the part the viewers have to figure out. The dangerous part (dangerous for you and for them, but different kind for them)

Sorry, but I'm going to wholeheartedly disagree. Misleading folks with incorrect chemicals and information is a great way to cause problems. A good place to start with "Copper Thermite" is understanding that there's copper in it. Intentionally misleading folks in the wrong direction isn't beneficial to anyone.

Joshua Smith

It's not intended to be misleading, but rather to highlight why they don't sell it in kit form as adding Cu to thermite can be dangerous. Apologies for misunderstanding

You're not adding copper TO thermite, you're making copper thermite, which is a completely separate compound. No iron oxide whatsoever.

I'm not trying to be rude, but for the sake of ensuring information is not mixed up, I want to be clear.
