Old Launcher-
This is my first prototype of a quick connect release mechanism.
This launcher works well with small sized rockets. Any large rockets tend to over balance the base.
New Launcher- Atlantis
Atlantis is constructed of hot dipped galvanized steel. It has a quad manifold allowing the unit to charge several rockets independently or a single rocket with multiple staging as with Poseidon
It is fitted with copper quick connect garden hose fittings.
The fittings are released via a cable system attached to the quick connect. Launch is achieved simply by pulling on a rope clipped to the cable.
This full metal design is a vast improvement over the previous model.
