Trumpatier

Hey, I'm Trumpatier! I make videos of cool creations and projects of mine, including mini bows and arrows, crossbows, and the like. Amazing things are in store for the future, so feel free to subscribe and stay updated!
My name is a play on words, originating from the word trumpeter (I played the trumpet from middle through high school), which is the term for a trumpet player. But I personally think it would be much cooler if the correct term was trumpeteer, similar to rocketeer. And since I strive to create awesome projects, exceeding the quality of other similar ones if any exist, I transformed that would-be word into Trumpatier (trump-a-tier). Overall, my name is a call to rise above; surpass the competition and yourself of yesterday. Be the best you can be.

How to Make, Use, and Upgrade an Epic Homemade Mini Bow and Arrow
In this video, I will teach you how to not only make my best homemade miniature bow and arrow to date, but also how to shoot it and upgrade it for even better performance. This mini bow outperforms my previous bows in terms of accuracy, durability, and simplicity/ease of creation. It's amazingly accurate for such a tiny bow and arrow!
The cost of making this bow is VERY cheap - less than 25 cents in raw materials! It makes a great Christmas present for all ages, and a fun desk ornament to eliminate those times of mental block and boredom.

I believe I've made the world's smallest paper airplane that actually flies. I found nothing even close to this small (that actually flew) when I scoured the Web. It measures 11.5 mm long, and is made from a paper measuring 17.5 mm x 13.5 mm. This tiny plane looks like a housefly when it flies! It's not an easy thing to make, but it's super cool to see it actually work. Music provided by Airwav...

I’m sorry but I beat your favorite airplane by 1 mm two years ago
Nice! Did it fly?
Use rolling paper. I made one years ago and it was crazy
Rolling paper? Like for joints?
@@trumpatier Yes
@@AvoidTheseMemes I'll keep that in mind, thanks!
I did an attempt and i got 0.95 cm
Nice. Does it fly?
You need to drill the hole all the way thru the fuel. Coring it will allow for faster burn.
Yep, I realized that after making this video haha. I had somehow forgotten about that crucial step!
@@trumpatier have you thought about testing them like that? I'd like to know how they stack up
@@CravenMoorhead I do plan on re-testing homemade motors, drilled correctly this time. Sadly though, I'm not able to make videos in my current situation 😔 Plus I have a couple videos planned before I go back to rocketry. But when I do return, the video will be better than ever because my quality standards have skyrocketed (no pun intended 🤣). If you'd like an example of my new quality standards, you can check out my latest project video here: ua-cam.com/video/naYGHu9mrFM/v-deo.htmlsi=iEQCakVsAYAChQn5 When I can redo this motor experiment, I'll retrieve and discuss a lot of data to give a thorough breakdown of the comparison. Plus probably some slow-mo footage 😀 I don't know when that will be though, sorry. Life has been bad.
Easier to buy wooden dowels, which come in many thicknesses from 1/32" to 2-1/2".
Easier for what? The form?
@@trumpatier Easier to buy and use instead of spending hours making tubes. Most can be found at craft shops, and are not expensive.
@@zyxw2000 wood dowels don't fit the same purpose as paper tubes
What a fantastic video! I needed a paper tube to wind an electronics part and I looked everywhere for the right sized paper tube. Nowhere to be found. Your video was a perfect find and I have now made the tube that I needed!! Thank you so much!
That's great to hear! Isn't it nice being able to make a high quality tube in just the size you need? I find it pretty awesome 😀
Can you guide me to someone who can make me maybe 500 to 1000 custom size tubes around 10.25 and 1/2 inside diamter in black with a thin paper you can tear in half?
I don't know anyone who makes custom tubes en masse, sorry. Best of luck in your search!
It really used to be so simple, didn't it?
Minecraft or real life? Or both? 😂
Dude i just discovered you and well... You have a new subscriber!
Awesome, thanks so much! Welcome to the channel :D
My is 13 millimeters
Can you use large Dia. metal Knitting Needles?
It might be possible, if their diameter is consistent!
So simple, so perfect, so custom, and cheap to boot. I was ready to pay "maybe".. 6 bucks for a .550" x 13" paper tube. Could not find one. Thank you. Good luck with your endeavors.
Glad I could help! Good luck as well :)
And soo easy, can't believe I didn't this of this. I was using plastic packaging and heating up wrapped around a dowel . Kinda almost worked, and looked like sh!t. Thanks again.
THANK YOU! You're 100% correct, you can NOT get even basic size tubes like this ANYWHERE. Even if you found them, they'd be so expensive.
Exactly! There's more tubes nowadays than back then, because of paper straws and beehive stuff, but they're still pricey if you can even find them in the right size.
I have a paper airlplane i made out of a sticky note and i can throw it 100 feet. It flies like a dart lol i like your videos man
That's sick! Paper darts are fun. I actually showed how to make one in my flying paper aircraft tutorial vid. Also, I think you might like my newest vid! It's my highest quality upload to date.
I kiterally tried last night to open and co.bine the mixture of like 150 of these and ONE of the stones fell in the container i was pouring it in and it popped it all fro. Just that one hitting just the right way. Blew ip in my face and hurt my ears lmao
Hahaha dang! This is exactly what I was warning about in the video 😂 All it takes is one little pebble to slide and the thing can detonate under its own weight. Same thing happened to me indoors and it was the first time I've ever momentarily lost my hearing like in movies 🤣
@Trumpatier hahaha wow buddy. Luckily mine was only like 70 was wasnt super loud or smokey but not expecting it i almost jumped out of my shoes 😂
@@1gramblam Ahh that's good haha. Yeah it scared the crap out of us too 😂 lesson learned lol, hearing protection and eye protection are a must when trying stuff like this.
@Trumpatier haha yea i wish id have had ear plugs for sure. If was like a 22LR going off next to my ear
I want to do my 48" roll straight on, no strips and no spirals. I'm still trying to figure out an 8" mandrel that will release, and a few other things. I found a source of paper. This will be way better than buying Tubes at Home Depot, which come in such different sizes, and are bulky to transport.
Ahh ok. That sounds fun! It's going to be really difficult though. I would probably look up some tips on getting it to roll perfectly straight so the paper doesn't end up diagonal. A mandrel - I never thought about that. That would probably help a lot. If they don't exist, you might be able to design and 3D print one!
I'd want to start with thicker paper unless it costs more. It would leave a seam, but that is not too bad.
True. A seam should be fine. I haven't really tested seamless vs seam, and kraft vs masking paper layers as I don't have the proper equipment to do so. But I think the only major differences would probably be in the aesthetics and aerodynamics of the tube. Seamless tubes are nicer to look at and incur less aerodynamic drag, but I'm not sure to what extent.
I wonder if PVC works as well as stainless steel. It would need to be smooth. Still worrisome if it is tight.
I think I did make some convolute tubes with PVC as a form. It worked pretty well, but the one downside was that cutting the paper tube while on the form creates gauges that make it harder to remove. But if you take anti-stick measures, it should work great!
I'm deciding whether to make my own 8"×48" tubes at home or pay shipping for several. Doing it at home is less bulky, but requires a little set up.
Those are some big tubes! It would probably be much cheaper to make them at home, but also hard to cut nice lines in that long of a piece of paper
This is why some professional tubes have a wax paper inner layer. Some people rip that out later.
That makes a lot of sense actually. Would make it SO much easier to remove the tube.
The masking paper is a great tip. Thanks
I still remember that day when I saw your chanel ,I found it very interesting after 2 years I am here, it feels so nostalgic 🥰
Welcome back! I was just watching some of my older videos last night and cringing super hard 😂😂

Can't wait:)
Me neither! I hope you enjoy it! :D
NO FILES WHAT THE HELL
What do you mean?
Great video. Can this process be used to make a square or rectangle tube? I need to make a 1/4" x 1/2" tube for servo wiring in a radio control airplane wing.
Thanks! Honestly I'm not sure. I think it would be possible if you cut the paper strips in a VERY specific way. Rectangular strips get really wonky around corners. I would test it right now but unfortunately I don't have a rectangular form to use.
You can find some decent youtube tutorials for cutting tubes that are a little more reliable than going by eye: either cutting guides that slip over the tube, or angle-stock and an end-stop for reliable repeatable lengths and good 90 degree ends.
That's handy info, thanks! I basically have no experience or knowledge on that subject haha. I'm not able to picture the angle stock method.
Thin glue is better than thicker glue, within reason. You don't want to have "structural glue" but rather good penetration and fully cured glue without lumps.
That makes sense I guess - in the case with thin glue you'd be relying on just the strength of the paper layered with itself. I think with thicker glue, you also get some strength from the glue. But you also add weight that way. However, with masking paper, using thin glue is very difficult due to how quickly it absorbs water and how weak it is when wet.
I've made one under a centimeter after watching this.
Nice! Were you able to get it to fly?
Press or ram this composition..change rangle of mix..1/4 bp plus 3/4sugar fuel until you have decent truss
I definitely will be doing lots of experimenting on homemade motors in the future. I actually messed up this batch by forgetting to drill the core! lol
Try end burner whit half sugar fuel plus red iron oxide and half of blach powder willow charcoal..miw all and press very well.nozze for half inch id. may be 3mm.
Thanks for the advice! I definitely want to use BP when I get back into rocketry on the channel.
Simple and to the point, opened up a world of scratch build model rockets!
Awesome! That's my favorite use for these tubes - custom rockets. Can't wait to eventually get into rocketry on the channel
I can make a smaller airplane
Imma make a huge one out of poppers
Good luck! They can only get so big before they self detonate, so be careful. Wear eye and ear protection for sure
3:11 OMG You literally accidently poured a smily face 🙂 with the first pop-it
