9:16 "Unlike every previous engine, which had used a single turbine [….], the Raptor is the only engine with dual gas turbines" – but the Soviets were the first to do that. Most people watching space documentaries have seen that documentary – "The engines that came from the cold", about soviet closed-cycle rocket engines.
If stage 0 spins the turbines up to start the engine, how is the engine restarted for descent & landing?
At 03:00 the animation puts LOX and RP1 at the same time of arrival at the chamber, which will most likely end up with a detonation. LOX has to lead and RP1 comes a few milliseconds later. Incredible video though
False analogy. Sailing ships operated in the life zone. Starship will operate in a dead zone. That's why Musk brags outright that people will die up there. It inspires no confidence whatsoever.
good vid
So how can Starship fire in space or Mars or the Moon if you need stage zero to begin the process?
Outstanding production. Absolutely awesome
An other Musk fan boy video. Raptro maybe a great engine but principles and things attributed to Elon in this video are basic engineering stuff that is going on in every company everywhere.
This is a good video, only thing, the full flow diagram could be simplified by not having that counter intuitive X configuration in the middle of the GG's for easier following of the fuel and oxidizer paths
Gosh you're just brilliant at explaining these things!
I did the same using LOX+Diesel fuels and stainless steal to build cheap rocket systems in the early 2000. But funding is hard to come by.
The Merlin 1D represents what could be done with the available time and money at the time, but that doesn't mean it didn't have a demanding and specific mission requirement.
SpaceX rocket design starts with the goal of lowest possible cost of payload to low Earth orbit. This requirement trumps everything else. The consequence is that you find yourself with a set of artificial "musts", because otherwise there's no point in doing it at all. So the question is not so much if it's "possible", but how it can be possible. What enters into this process is that you must reuse as much of the rocket as possible.
What eventually comes out of it, is a two-stage rocket, without solid-fuel boosters, a single rocket fuel that must be not hydrogen, and not hypergolic. A rather small rocket engine that need a very high thrust to weight ratio, must be throttleable, and must be a mass-production item.
The Raptor is a product of the exact same process, only this time there are no compromises involving time and money. And it has to be the extremest thing possible, because otherwise it would not reach the required thrust to weight ratio with the methane fuel, nor would it reach the required thrust per nozzle area. Its thrust-performance for a first stage is a must, and reaching that with methane as fuel is not easy. Which is why ULA Vulcan is effectively a three-stage rocket with its solid-fuel boosters.
But what is not logical for me is that the speed is higher at the end then in the throat because it has to follow the rules of Bernoulli higher speed less pressure and the other way around.Or is it that vortexes will be created at the high speed?
So relieved when you started from the Merlin engine and not the beginning of Rocketry LOL phew!
I believe this closed cycle engine is not new. The Soviet/ Russian RD180 was a closed cycle rocket engine designed in the 70's or 80's.
The Germans where the first to use methane as rocket fuel in 1930.
The benefits of using methane in rocket engines has been known forever just as the idea of using a closed cycle engine which was perfected by the Soviets .
Of course if you're using a oxy hydrogen engine then there is no coking … water being the by product of combustion.
Excellent vid and explanations! Now it’s time to up your game and ditch the janky editing
They didn't reinvented anything, this all Chinese hard working engineer achievement outsourced by Elon lol
Russian design 😊
Thank God Elon knows more about manufacturing than anyone currently alive on earth!
Thanks for this. Much appreciated.
thank you
Well done!!
The Raptor 4 will NOT be the engine to get humans to Mars. Elon needs to use Raptor "M", Microwave Beam decreasing fuel mix at 100% to 50f/50ox. Will operate at 66% to 75% power on standard CH4 & L/Oxy mix. Microwave beam will be like supercharger on a car motor. Nuclear has that highest thrust but the Microwave Bean will increase Methane Hydrogen to plasma getting the Thrust half way to that of a Nuclear engine without the radiation issue on HUMANS.
This Idea needs to get to Elon and StarShip R&D.
Thank you for the information and keep it up!
Reinvented?!!!🤦
Nice vídeo!
Is it true that natural gas, which primarily consists of methane, is the cleanest burning fossil fuel? And when methane is produced from non-fossil sources such as food and green waste , it can literally take carbon out of the air?
🤯
Great video. Thanks. Can u provide more detail in the raptor design in another video please ?
SpaceX didnt reinvent anything though. They made small incremental improvements that made a previously existing tehcnology more viable. Thats super impressive still! Its simple in concept, but simple isnt the same as easy! They did amazing stuff! You dont need to bend the truth to make it sound better.
Elon doesnt DESIGN anything LMAO.
Upgraded, not reinvented. Wise up.
Meanwhile billions of people go hungry. 😒
