How to make a homemade parachute

Показать описание

It's time to learn how to make a proper parachute, it's one of the easiest projects of all times, cheap as well. So we will drop it from a drone because it's big, normally I will throw it my self, but it might not have time to open, so dropping it from a drone will elevate it enough to make a good parachute drop.

I'll also used some electronics to make a flashing light to make the parachute visible at night time.

This parachute is excellent for a cansat project.

What did you use to initiate the release of the parachute package?

Nice work!!Add a slider and it will open up a little slower and will keep the lines separated as well..👍

I laughed when you said the plastic was made from potatoes. Then stop when you mean it seriously. Btw, thumbs up for the great work buddy

How did you measure the first set of lines

Man Thanks!!! you helped me with my science winter project!!!

Really nice! :) I used to make lots of parachutes when I was a kid. :) But we (myself and my friends) used to throw them in the air with our on hands. :)

keep up the awsome vids i really like them

What an amazing job. I have 2 questions. Can you reuse the parachutes? The other question is can I use this parachute for 12 kg?

I’ve actually had okay aerodynamic stability on square parachutes with 4 lines, but I have noticed some wobbling. I’ll have to try this design when I do my RC jet ballistic parachute recovery system challenge!

Interesting that the parachute just needs to be cut in a purely round shape. I thought round parachutes have a more complex shape to help with quick opening

i made a miniature version of that with some tesa ( like that seethrough tape), a Cap of a pen, 1 long string cut into 4 smaller strings, and a plastig back that i ripped to make it look like a circle... I made everything *before* watching this video

i used to make parachutes like this, but in a rectangular shape, and it flies. i believe yours could fly as well, the thing that make it fall that quick is payload. you're overloading your parachute so the drag force is so big. next time, try to lower your payload and you'll be surprised that those plastic parachutes could fly, i don't mean gliding, i really mean flying, just like paragliders. it's all a matter of loading your parachute with the right payload, not too heavy and not too light. i flew lot of them when i was kid, especially on windy days.

Good vedio dont use garbage bag beacause it will float like a solar balloon

A hole at the parachute's canopy's apex is called a vent.

It lacks the canopy apex hole, with a 0 porosty canopy is extremely important, will reduce oscillation and the "pumping" effect. Take a look at real chutes like the T7 and you will better understand my words.
