Why Starting A Rocket Engine Is So Hard!
Today we’re going to do a deep dive on how exactly you start a rocket engine. We’ll cover pretty much everything from a simple solid rocket motor, to all the intricacies of liquid fueled rocket engines.
We'll go over thermal conditioning the engine, the spin up process, the scary transient regions, and the actual ignition of the propellants. Then we’ll talk about some of the extra challenges like starting a rocket engine in space and then we'll go step by step through the RS-25's startup procedure.

What if I told you, there’s a company you likely haven’t heard of who's developing a fully and rapidly reusable rocket… and this isn’t a power point rocket, they’re already building it, and have been testing it at a pace that’s frankly ridiculous. And they’re using the aerospike effect in a genius way to make for a fully reusable upper stage. Join me as I show you around Stoke Space’s headquart...

    Amazing work, Tim, Caspar, & team! I'm a space nerd, and I watched the previous videos and Scott Manley's video on rs25 startup. I even heard them testing rs25 engines at stennis and visited a test stand when I lived in Mississippi in the 80s (not that that would teach me how it works)... A lot of this went over my head. I'll have to watch it a few more times to fully understand it all. Thank you for all this work!

    Listening to Elon try to explain cavitation makes my ears bleed. Like bring a knife to a gun fight he is. Also, oxygen rich environments is a massive ticking bomb. Just a technicality from your explanation on cryogenic fuels and oxidisers.

    Thermal conditioning for cryogenic propellants... This is one reason why China like hypergolics so much. Cos they care more about their engine components than they do their own citizens.

    It’s all ways weird me away it on why blue origin is so quiet about what’s going on unlike all the other western space companies, any idea why ?

  • Gary Bickford
    Gary Bickford Hace un día

    One pair of facts that took me a while to really "grok" is that the fuel flow pressure must exceed the chamber pressure, which is driven by the combustion; and that back pressure is simply a force that pushes the injector plate and the nozzle, that either directly or indirectly pushes the thrust puck and rocket body "up". The combustion process is just the mechanism to provide the push. I know this is obvious in one sense, but it's interesting to think of it as hypothetically capable of being implemented by any arbitrary mechanism such as a piston or large fist (for a short distance!).

    11:56, question, couldn’t you make some sort of system where you expand the nozzle? Just like on fighter jets, but then instead of closing exhaust, you lengthen it. Or is that just not useful enough because you stage too fast for the system to affect the efficiency?

    Great video as always but Ullage thrusters, u lost me, how do they force the fuel to the intake and remove the bubbles / cavitation. Can any one help?

    • Everyday Astronaut
      Everyday Astronaut Hace 2 días

      The ullage thrusters accelerate the rocket (and it’s tanks of course) but the fuel stays in the same place. So the fuel “runs into” the bottom of the rocket. Since liquid is more dense, it will push the gas out of the way and sit on the bottom of the tanks during the ullage burn
