Glad it helped. :)

The Saturn I rocket had a diameter of 6.5-6.6 meters (21-21.8 feet), I would say 5.5 meters across...

Yes. Pretty much any material in Florida rots away- other than concrete and glass... :(

Uhm, as mentioned in the video those baffles are to avoid sloshing. Sloshing shifts a rockets center of gravity and causes stability and control problems.

Ever carried a large jug of liquid and moved it around quickly? What do you feel when you do that? Correct: you can feel the liquid hitting the side, which results in a force that moves the jug(which you stop by using your muscles to counter it) Now scale that up from a handheld jug to a gigantic tank: the force impacting the tank will be of many many tons. And thoses gigantic tanks do not have a gigantic hand to hold back that force. The forces of liquids sloshing around in an enclosed space is ENOURMOUS. It is sufficient to flip over and crash 18 wheeler tanker trucks, and even of capsizing and sinking entire oil tanker ships which can measure in the lenght of hundreds of meters. For this reason, tanker trucks and oil tankers use compartmentalization, either full(seperate compartments) or partial(such as this example) to stop or slow down the sloshing in order to prevent such things from happening. The only reason oil tankers arent capsizing every time they encounter a storm on the seas is because of such compartmentalizations. Just as how a tanker truck or an oil tankee in motion requires it for stability and safety, a rocket also requires it.

Thank you- corrected. :)

Damn that's awesome

Another interesting thing about liquid kerosene rocket tanks is that they use the acceleration of the rocket to feed the nozzle. If the flame went out in flight, the rocket would be in free fall meaning the fuel will float weightlessly and coalesce to the hull making reignition impossible without some acceleration

@@ApertureAce oh that is a nice feature

They had to. The fuel economy was horrendous. A full tank only lasted 42 miles. Great cargo room though

All those baffles held together with a plastic body! The engineering!

@Jay-cf6dz got it thanks for the heads up friend.

Thats a problem with the government allowing excessive lobbying and poor regulation lol. This is like .1% of the annual budget.

This was in 1964 lol

Thanks 😐

LOL! I appreciate your sacrifice. ;)

Oh cool, I was the one on the hand pump feeding the fire!

@@TumbleTrashOfficial Thanks, but no thanks, i burnt my thumb because you were slacking on the pump strokes per second. Remember that it is just a small 202.000 Gallons keg to empty, we don`t have all day.

I have disposed of this camera, and looking at the images in the opening seconds, it is not clear which button it is, but my best guess is on the back, lower left. Opps! No! Upper right corner, silver button just below the top!

That would be the ones from my first visit, and a few others, Can't give you an exact figure, but maybe 5-10%%? And then of course, a lot of early digital with lower rez. Not only because digital gave better images, but cost! My earlier shooting was definitely limited by the costs- and that habit carried over into my digital shooting for quite a while, until well into it, I would be shooting 2-300 shots per day. Many from both sources have also had post-processing in modern photo apps.

I cannot say specifically, but long ago, I saw a TV program, where they were doing to same thing for motor vehicle gas tanks, and that question was raised, and it was claimed that the volume taken up by the bafflings was insignificant and made no notable difference in the tanks' capacity. The material is extraordinarily thin and full of holes.

As I said, not my video, but I think anothe viewing will answer your question. :)

Almost exactly like the kerosene you get at the pump. The camera is inside the fuel tank at the top looking down towards the engines.

The fuel used, RP-1, is genuinely just a very refined kerosene. It's a popular rocket fuel that doesn't need any special handling

@@casualbird7671Primarily different to reduce coking behavior where in combustion chamber cooling channels it tends to leave a sooty residue unless it’s extra refined. JP-1 and other jet fuel types of fuel tend to coke in rocket cooling channels, and are themselves improved over heating kerosene by better / colder freezing points. Jet fuel in wings in the stratosphere can’t be allowed to freeze…

Appears to be looking downward from the top of the tank. The fuel is kept to the bottom by the rocket's acceleration and when the first stage engines stop, that acceleration ends and that's why fuel comes flying up from the bottom of the tank and splashes all over the place - at that point it's weightless.

Oh ya! :)

Thank you. :)

Not enough rain to challenge it.
