After years of not having a proper entry-level offering, Infiniti finally has a credible entry into the growing compact luxury segment. Taking some help from their new partnership with Mercedes-Benz, the Q30 starts life on the A-Class platform. Has Infiniti done enough to differentiate it’s offering from its German sibling?

As the second best-selling vehicle within the Ford lineup, the 2017 Escape gets a refreshed exterior, interior, and new engines. Will the changes be enough for the Escape to keep its position in the sales chart against fresh competition?

As the flagship sedan within the Buick lineup, the 2017 Lacrosse looks to raise the luxury bar for the brand. With interior appointments now approaching near-Cadillac levels of luxury, will the company be able to shed its geriatric image for the US market?

Right on the heels of its sedan sibling, the production Civic Coupe takes the next step in Honda’s promise to introduce a variety of Civic models within the next 18 months. With its own unique roofline and wrap around taillights, does this new 2-door deliver on Honda’s bold promise of making an epic new Civic?

Already given the nickname “Fiata” Fiat brings back the iconic 124 Spyder and goes to Mazda for a great platform. Those of you wanting a factory turbocharged Miata may find plenty of good reasons to head over to your local Fiat dealership.

The muscle car wars are far from over, and it looks like Chevy plans to stay well ahead of the pack with this all-new 2016 model. It’s so good, that our friends at MotorTrend just awarded the iconic muscle car its coveted golden caliber award for 2016. Is the new model worthy of it? Let’s take a first look…

Random household items are used to make a fully functional hobby rocket, for under $10.

Project Inspired By: Ritchie Kinmont with http://www.sonicdad.com (http://bit.ly/SDRandomizerProject)

WARNING:

This video is only for entertainment purposes. If you rely on the information portrayed in this video, you assume responsibility for the results of your actions. Playing with experimental rockets could result in serious injury, property damage and/or legal ramifications. Have fun, but always think ahead, and remember that every project you try is at YOUR OWN RISK.

Project History & More Info:

This project was inspired by my good friend Ritchie Kinmont with http://www.sonicdad.com.

We collaborated together on a design for a rocket that could be powered by the sugar motors I showed you how to make in a previous video (http://bit.ly/SugarRocket) made with PVC, sugar, kitty litter, and stump remover.

The new “Screw-Lock” version features threaded PVC risers, that allow the motors to quickly be changed, for faster turn-around times, and they have built in ejection charges for popping out the parachute at apogee.

Last year I promised that if there was enough interest, I’d try to develop a rocket that could be used with the sugar motors .. and my goal was to build a version where the sugar motors could screw onto the bottom of the rocket for convenience.

At the beginning of the year, the Sonic Dad team reached looking to do some kind of a collaboration, and the timing was perfect. So I asked Ritchie if he could help me engineer a sugar rocket.

Ritchie went through a few different designs, but eventually presented to me his “Randomizer Rocket” design, which blew me away. It was so perfect, lightweight, and balanced.

It also has a parachute he incorporated from one of his previous projects, that brings the rocket back perfectly with hardly any modification.

Most rocket clubs won’t let you fly sugar motors, except on special experimental launch days. However, the “Randomizer” rocket can also be used with commercial “Estes” D12-3 and E9-6 black power motors. So if you go with those, there’s a good chance they’ll let you fly your rocket at any club launch.

The rocket can fly over 1,000 feet high, and depending on the winds, can stay in the air for around 5 minutes while it floats back to the ground, so it’s important to be super cautious where, and when, you launch to avoid doing any damage.

This video completes the rocket building series, and I’m really excited to share my passion for building and launching rockets with completely home-made equipment. In my opinion, it’s the best way to learn about how rocketry really works.

I realize most people aren’t very excited by building rockets, but for those who are, I hope you feel the same sense of wonder and awe as I did in building this series.
