Hobo Dave presenting his latest Rocketbob design

The Rocketbob V1

  • External propulsion system consisting of 20x Sticky Bombs affixed directly to the fuselage
  • Ramp launch leads to difficulty when entering the vehicle 
  • Flight characteristics are violent and unpredictable
  • Not enough lift generated for significant altitude gain

The Rocketbob V2

Picture
  • Internal propulsion system consisting of 20x Sticky Bombs attached to a dynamic crate, which provides force from inside the craft.
  • Launch ramp is unnecessary for flight, though it leads to a more efficient takeoff
  • Flight characteristics are similar for each launch; there is an initial 'rotation' followed by a near vertical ascent.
  • Lots of lift generated, however passenger comfort and saftey is an ongoing concern

Could this be a functional "Zero G" chamber?

The High Velocity Post Rocket 

  • Propulsion system includes 4x external booster cylinders to help with the initial climb.
  • Launch stand required for sticky bomb fuelling.
  • Flight characteristics are highly stable, remaining upright even during the initial extreme vertical acceleration. 
  • Reaches an altitude of 500 ft in under 10 seconds. 
  • Assuming acceleration is constant, the maximum speed reached is 121.92 km/h

The Hobo Centrifuge 

  • Apparatus designed for testing the limits of hobo endurance
  • Ejection takes place at just under 100 RPM

Failed experiments

Not all of Dave's experiments are as successful as the RocketBob or the Post Rocket....
