RECENT WORK Below are details of some of our most recent work:   Brainiac - Custard Rocket World Record Attempt Client: ITV/Granada for Sky Rocket-fx.com designed, built and launched a 200kg rocket carrying a 90kg payload of liquid custard to be 'detonated' at just over 1000ft in altitude as a publicity stunt to coincide with the screening of the first episode of Brainiac series 5. Project successfully accomplished in 8 days. CCC Ltd - Promotional/Rental Missile Project Client: Internal (promotional project) Rocket-fx.com built and test-flew a large working model of an air-to-air missile as a promotional and demonstration project for possible future work in missile/military simulation. The 9ft long, 8 inch diameter missile is now available for hire through the company as a static or working prop. Brainiac - Science Abuse, Series 5, Numerous Rocket Experiments Client: ITV/Granada for Sky Rocket-fx.com were commissioned to undertake a series of rocket-related experiments for the popular science shows fifth series. Under the heading 'Things NASA never tried' the experiments included launching a 120kg garden shed to several hundred feet, building a working ejector-seat out of an office chair, flipping a small car using high-thrust rocket motors, building a working rocket jet-pack for a mannequin and many others. Wan-Hu Rocket-Chair Re-enactment Client: Wild Dream Films (for US History Channel) Rocket-fx.com undertook to build two 'rocket-chairs' for an investigative science/history show. The first was a faithful replica of the chair from the Chinese legend of 'Wan-Hu' and was powered by over 60 black powder rocket motors. The second was a modern-design built to emulate an ejector seat but using the same principles. Both chairs designed, built and launched successfully in 1 week. 'Beautiful Blue' Full Size ICBM Launched for live TV escapology show Client: David Merlini Rocket-fx.com designed and built one of the largest non-governmental rockets ever for an Eastern European escapologist/illusionist to use in a live TV spectacular. Working closely with the illusionist, the 40ft missile was built to incorporate critical 'escape' elements as well as pyrotechnic special effects to simulate an engine malfunction and had a capsule for the illusionist to stand in at the top. The rocket was successfully launched from an island in the river Danube in central Budapest in front of 10,000+ spectators and a live TV audience estimated at over 5 million viewers.
