THE 1ST KINEMATIC ROCKET - A MARVEL OF THE AGE
Humanoido launched thousands of rockets over the years. Early on this included the first Kinematic rocket designed and built by
Humanoido's Father who was an avid rocket scientist and inventor. After launching many rockets, in particular chemical rockets, Humanoido requested a much larger and more reliable rocket design that could go higher.
The chemical rocket had cracked at the fuel compartment and leaked fuel whereupon it had to be discontinued. It was simply launched too many times and wore out. With cracking of the fuel tank, the rocket could never reach its previous high altitude record. The new invented Kinematic rocket was the greatest dream come true, and could go an estimated 25 times the full altitude of the chemical rocket.
These
recyclable Kinematic rockets were launched and retrieved by Humanoido at a large
expanse country location. Living on a ranch with acres of open expanse unobstructed land had its benefits. The rockets used a matching special launcher custom
built for all space missions. Humanoido's Father who was a special technician grade and engineer, went all out on the project. He took a spare house on the property and
converted it into a construction lab equipping it with machines and engineering tools, where he
built the rocket during the week.
Parts were recycled from old tractors, other farm
machinery, parts found on the premises, as well as cedar parts from a farmhouse roof and a blue aquamarine circular launcher dowel component that came from the kitchen broom handle. Some of the parts were machined by hand and the single rocket successfully lasted over many launches until the entire system was believed lost when moving to a new home in the city. Humanoido is interested in building a new one, and scaling up the system design to launch astronauts in the future.
ABOUT THE KINEMATIC ROCKET
The Kinematic Rocket had the traditional rocket shape with a nose and tail, but with two opposing planar sides. Presumably each side could become a payload attachment anchor though there is no memory of attaching payloads. The rocket had a varying thickness of shape, thicker at the nose where the bulk of the weight remained, and thinner at the tail where the launcher gripped the rocket for launching into the deep sky.
The nose came to a point so the recovery field had to be evacuated for safety reasons. No parachute was used and the rocket returned at high speed to the Earth in a streamlined fashion, nose down. Even with no parachute on the landings, the rocket never broke and remained in service a long time.
As the rocket used mechanical energy propellant for flight, no liquid or powder fuel was needed. The rocket and the launcher were safe for shipping and transport, as well as storage. The power of the rocket, the amount of energy, how far it could travel, and its velocity were all dependent on the amount of energy imparted to it during launch.
