Hi Integza, I'm a research assistant in a research group researching in combustion engines. Personally I specialize in injection of liquid ammonia fuel into into IC engines, and I'm an old fan of rocket engine design! For me rocketry is the ultimate engineering problem combining so many engineering fields together! Let me just say i think your concept is absolutely awesome in the department of OF mixing. But in regards to the feasibility in real applications, I can foresee a cooling problem of the internal mesh if you are thinking of pushing the engine to its max capacity reliably everytime, to achieve the ultimative goal of maximizing thrust. Ultimately, the higher temperature you can create in the chamber the better efficiency, and the more thrust available, thereby creating the beautiful trade-off balance between efficiency and structural integrity. This is also one of the reasons to use pure oxygen, because then you don't waste a lot of energy heating up the 79% nitrogen in the air. Make it with pure oxygen! 😂😅🤪 (I really hope we get to see the divergent nozzle as well in the future!) I'm quite surprised that you did not use your software to create a regenerative cooling jacket around your nozzle chamber, maybe I have missed some details in this regard? If you decide to run with pure oxygen some time in the future, maybe you could consider using the liquid Butane in the flask to run through a cooling jacket in the outer wall of the rocket engine. Instant cooling AND potential higher fuel pressure! But absolutely fantastisk video! Super fan of your work! Br Jeppe

Hello, Integza! Rocket engine designer/test engineer here. Very good to see you using RPA, if you can please share your config, very interested to see it (your L* is about 1.5?). Main problem with your injector type is heat managment. At low pressures, low flows and fuel-rich mixture ratios it will work, but at some point your combustion chamber inner wall will overheat and melt.(with beatifull but dangerous explosion). To answer your question "Is this a viable way of injecting propellant into the chamber?". It is, for your specific case. Ideas of using porous walls for fuel injectors was proposed and tested since invention of powder metallurgy. The problem is - wall overheats and then combusts. Problem with flame detachment comes from very low flowrates and as a result very small combustion chamber. You flame detachment is like 3/4 of your chamer length. I think you got numbers for injections speeds somewhere from literature, but this numbers are for normal-sized rocket engines. If you want to go with such low flowrates, next time search for "rocket engine igniters", some of them are very low power and low pressure rocket engines, exact thing you are searching for. Also you can cheat by using tangential flows. If you want to go in this field, you need invest some money and time in your instrumentation. Your way of raising butane pressure was very dangerous (I think you know it yourself, and if someone saw that in my test facility, it will be very bad). If you need more pressure, you can switch no natural gas in cylinders, they are about 13 bars, with pressure reducer you can get it to about 5 bars, and have cylinder installed outside your garage, with flame arrestors and purge lines, as it should be. You can use something like nodered for control interface and arduino hardware and modules for test control (Won't recomend NI hardware:) for it's huge price, therefore arduino). For your next designs invest in modular water-cooled jacket. It will make your experiments more safe, because your walls will always be as cool as water. If you have questions, feel free to contact me. I would like to discuss your safety measures, your instrumentation and data collection.

Very cool video! But a few minor (non-rocket) things. K3D isn't the only shop in the world that 3D Print porous metal structures, I've worked with some in the US that do as well. The structure you have is primarily lattice based with porous walls. If you can regulate the pore size (which is very time and money intensive testing various printing parameters [$250k + 6 months in my experience]) you can find the optimal pore radius and porosity for your mixture and flow rate, and could eliminate the lattice entirely, creating a more unilateral flow instead of the fuel and air taking a sharp left, then right, another right (all relative of course) then squeezing through the pores to the combustion chamber. The sparks at the beginning of your second print might not have been the spark plug, at least not entirely. The printing process can leave behind powder that can be blown out with rocket forces (which we obviously have here), and the heat + increased surface area (compared to a solid) can ignite them. It's why when you order powdered metals, they come with flammability warning labels on the side (depending on the metal), but solid metal doesn't (again, depending.... looking at you sodium and potassium). This engine is amazing for the fuel it's using, but personally I can't see it being used on things like SpaceX without some exponential redesigns. Like you said, butane has a flame speed of about 40 cm/s, but the fuel the use to go to outer space with has a flame speed of at least 3 meters per second, a full order of magnitude higher. Getting the right pore size and the right amount of pores meeting that size is one of the problems of the current printing process, which will hopefully be worked out in the near future. Metal 3D Printing hasn't been around that long, so we could be in the Nokia Brick era of metal printing, and 10-15 years down we may hit the smart phone phase equivalent of printing. The mixing of fuel/oxidizer before the combustion chamber is something I work with every day, and hopefully will revolutionize the combustion industries (not just rockets, but cars and other engines too). Like you said, it's a Win-Win-Win on that front. If you want to know more, check out Swiss Roll Volatile Organic Compound Incinerators to see what I'm doing. Tomatoes really do suck, I pull them out of everything if they even remotely resemble what they were before being turned into paste.

Professional rocket engine designer here (and fan of your videos). Interesting idea using gyroidal geometry for injection. Very creative solution to a common problem with small liquid injectors. Without access to super expensive equipment to hold tight machining tolerances small injectors are very difficult to get good mixing out of and it's easy to run into a lot of stability problems like a lot of your attempts at more traditional injector types (impinging doublet, coax swirl, premixed showerhead) did. The gyroidal geometry will create a lot of turbulence and disruption in the flow down the combustion chamber which significantly improves residency time and mixing (both allowing for more steady combustion). Before I get into why the gyroidal injector geometry likely isn't a great I thought I'd point out that there is quite a bit of research going into 3D printed gyroidal geometry as a base for catalyst beds for monopropellant thrusters. 3D printing gyroidal geometry and plating or coating the high surface area bed with a catalytic element can result in a high specific surface area and a low restriction which results in better monopropellant performance for catalytic decomposition like the operating principle of a lot of the industry standard monopropellant hydrazine thrusters. Anyway, at the performance levels required for getting things to orbit, I foresee a couple of issues with the gyroidal injector element design. Namely thermals, pressure drop, and performance issues. Thermals: Generally, the performance requirements for liquid rocket engines require the combustion temperatures to be well above the melting point of any metal. This means you need to have mitigating circumstances to contain the combustion and any metal the is in the flow will likely erode away very quickly (like the gyroidal injector). The propellant flowing through the injector would likely provide some cooling, but it is almost certainly not enough to prevent any material from eroding very quickly. Pressure Drop: In a rocket engine, pressure drop from the highest pressure point to the combustion chamber is ideally minimized (excluding stability and throttling concerns). This is done to prevent losses which benefit nothing to the engine efficiency. If your supply pressure is limited like in this case, this results in lower chamber pressure and thus lower performance, and likely a less stable nozzle flow. In a context with pumps, this would mean that more input energy is required for the pumps to achieve the same chamber pressure as a lower pressure drop design (meaning more wasted energy). Performance: This one is kinda complicated, so I'll keep it a touch higher level. The high-level explanation of a rocket engine is that mass is accelerated as quickly as possible out the nozzle which provides a reactive force. Efficiency or performance comes from what percentage of the heat energy is converted into kinetic energy in the correct direction. Many things can effect this like exhaust products, combustion temperature, nozzle geometry etc. Something else that can effect this is to create more turbulence than required in the combustion chamber. Any swirling or non-axial flow effects result in energy losses and a lower exhaust exit velocity. The gyroidal geometry creates a lot of these non-axial flow effects. Unsolicited advice on if you attempt to approach this again with a more traditional injector design: 1.) Start with your constraints to work out your engine parameters. In this case it would likely have been the propellants you're using and the supply pressures from your tanks. 2.) As a general rule of thumb, injector stability should be fine at dP - Pc ratios of ~10% (dP - Pc ratio is the ratio between the pressure drop across the injector and the chamber pressure). In this case, that would mean a 10% total drop from your supply pressure in the chamber. I'd probably guess the chamber pressure should be a touch under 1.8bar. 3.) From the above, you should be able to use the combustion byproducts to figure out a good throat geometry (use the combustion byproducts to find the gas constant and the speed of sound, from there work out the throat diameter and decrease it a touch to make sure the flow gets to M=1 with the efficiency losses from imperfect combustion, chamber wall losses etc. 4.) Double check your numbers with RPA at a few different OF ratios and mass flow rates to make sure your rocket will stay choked over a range of your possible operational conditions. (I would go for a smaller throat than RPA needs due to inefficiencies stated above, and a throat that isn't sonic results in a 'fast candle' with pretty minimal thrust. 5.) Once you have the above, move onto an injector element design. The next bit is a bit dependent on your element choice, but there is literature out there for a lot of them (old NASA papers go hard). Essentially, you're aiming to get your pressure drop right, while making sure your flow rate of each propellant is correct for the OF and mass flow rate you're trying to target. With a propellant combination of air and butane it's about 15:1 Air:Butane by mass ratio for stoichiometric combustion. Good practice is to try and run rich of stoichiometric for better performance and even richer if you're aiming for low temperatures. If you're not looking for too much performance I would look to run at about 11:1 or so, will help keep the heat down. Each element type has other considerations to try and optimize mixing (momentum ratios, cone angle, jet angles, etc.). Another tip could be to try and use some film cooling to keep thermal issues away (just very tiny holes around the outside of the injector head that just get fed fuel) 6.) Next thing to consider would likely be the length of your chamber. Ideally you want to minimize this to minimize heat loss and potential longitudinal instability issues, but it needs to be long enough to allow for proper mixing. Again, I'd recommend checking literature for your element type (gas-gas flow is usually pretty low chamber lengths required) 7.) Send it (safely, please use appropriate pressure vessels for your propellants) Side note on point 6, the raptor engine uses really high pressure, hot-hot, gas-gas mixing in it's injector elements (the injector uses the exhaust from the pre-burners/turbines). This means the mixing and combustion happen super quickly and they can get away with using a really short chamber. This is likely partially why you were having issues with the exact replica as the propellants didn't have time to mix properly before entering the contraction at the throat. p.s. or maybe I'm not a rocket engineer, don't believe everything you read on the internet

@@D-Vinko you may need to extrapolate on what you mean here. If I’m correct in my interpretation my answer would be: Chamber wall temperature is the driving factor for melting or erosion. It is a heat transfer problem. Generally, the main inputs are the temperature of the combustion gas, the heat transfer through the chamber wall into the regen fluid, the regen fluid flow rate, and the regen fluid temperature. In this gyroidal injector case, the high surface area compared to the comparatively smaller mass flow of the propellants through the walls will result in melting if the combustion temperature isn’t kept super low

Hi integza! Huge fan here! So to cut straight to it, I'm a propulsion engineer, specifically I work on liquid rocket engines, and I have a very very important warning about your design! The porous injector idea is fascinating, and tbh I didn't expect it to work as well as it did, but it also poses a huuuuuge safety risk to you. In the region upstream of the porous injector you effectively have an enclosed volume of premixed fuel and oxidizer that, if the engine gets hot enough, will spontaneously combust before ever reaching the combustion chamber itself. However while the combusion chamber has the nozzle to allow the gasses to flow out, this volume does not. It would most likely result in an explosion within the injector inlet volume. Best case scenario is it blows the hoses off. Worst case scenario is it shatters the thin and brittle (strong, but still brittle because it's 3D printed) walls of the injection volume and sends metal shrapnel flying everywhere. Please stay safe, and looking forward to your next video!

Video suggestion. You should build a wood or coal powered rocket engine, let me explain myself. The exhaust of the combustion would be harnessed (by a turbocharger or something) and then used to feed air into the combustion chamber, accelerating the combustion and making it so even more air came into the combustion chamber. As the exhaust grew bigger it would reach a point where thrust is generated. Just make sure it has an emergency gas relief valve. Also, I wanted to tell you I love your videos.

The properties of the fuel that is used is key to the magic of internal combustion in both jet and rocket applications.

More organic form does not necessarily or inherently lead to higher efficiency. Higher efficiency tends to be more organic in form than simple to machine parts drawn by draftsmen with pens and ruler.. on average. There is almost a limitless variety of organic forms. Some more complex, convoluted, sexy?, simple or elaborate than others. Some efficient, some not. Running rocket fuel through the GI tract of a bumble bee is only 33% as efficient as rocket fuel through a moose ass. Both are very organic. And both are better than through a VW muffler. But the ultimate efficiency and very organic by coincidence, is rocket fuel through a worm hole. Not a worm hole. A worms hole.

I think the squares and rectangles thing applies. Not all organic things are efficient, but most efficient designs have some organic analogue. This is especially true with regard to maximizing surface area for reactions, we just have tons and tons of examples of that in living things since that's kinda the whole business of living. On the other hand though, some hyper efficient structural designs are not organic looking because organisms aren't great at building *extremely* regular structures. Honeycomb is pretty good, but still has slight cell-to-cell variation that we can do better than.

With the pressures being fed in, even with a catastrophic failure I don't see how it could explode like a bomb. If the nozzle clogs the air+butane intake will stop, even with a pressure spike it will backfeed rather than build up. This simple prototype doesn't have turbopumps forcing high pressures that could explode. That said, I'm in general agreement that youtubers routinely have a flagrant disregard for safety as being gung-ho makes for better videos. With their reach they should realise the widespread influence their content holds. Being overly safe should be seen as cool, the Hydraulic Press Channel does this well, building an entire bunker while constantly mentioning the serious danger from the extreme forces involved.

Hello Integza, been watching you for a while and as someone who spent 4 years on my PhD related to additively manufactured combustion chambers for micro gas turbines (Very niche topic but its gaining some interest due to off grid power demand and jet powered drones), I was pleasantly surprised when I see your latest video. Although for rockets as many others have pointed out, you have an issue in mass, for stationary gas turbines that’s not as much of an issue, although pressure loss is. Your second concept is actually similar to something I had designed a few years ago for a catalytic combustor. Issue with them is that they can only run as hot as the substrate can stand so they typically run relatively cold (~800 degC) and are made of ceramics. So my idea was to use metal AM and include an internal structure with airflow pathways integrated into them, so your inlet air cools down your substate and heats up the inlet air acting as a heat exchanger and then the other side of the surface is coated in a reactive coating that creates an exothermic reaction from the air/fuel mixture passing by it. Never got it past some CAD concepts but always wondered how well it would work. The porous media would also be good for both cooling and air/fuel mixing for micro gas turbines. In any case, great videos. Look forward to seeing more. Cheers Adam

And this was their 'state of the art' model weapons facility bunkers touted to withstand nuclear strikes. There ISN'T a bunker that will withstand a direct nuclear strike, unless it is buried deep under a mountain, and maybe not even then.

As someone even less qualified but with experience with metallurgy, industrial chemistry and doing dangerous shit I can also add a safety concern: pure oxygen and high temperature can and will ignite many metals including iron alloys. So a pure oxygen burner could result in spraying molten metal oxides in a spectacular fashion. If this is stainless you can also liberate chromium and nickel oxides which can be incredibly toxic too. I think you can get industrial oxygen mix with an amount of CO2 or nitrogen present. I've seen 80% O2 with 20% N2 available. Probably safer with plenty of extra oxygen. Regardless, a thick acrylic blast shield should be a minimum between meatbags and experimental high energy objects.

Integza, you may face the same issue as an Aerospike. That being, because you have metal in the combustion chamber, that metal will get hot, very hot. And the heat has no where to go...so it will just get hotter. The Aerospike has a heating issue they are trying to solve. But if you get prolonged use from the engine...you need a way to cool the stuff in the combustion chamber or...well...it will melt.

the difference between this and an aerospike is that aerospikes don't really cater well to using the fuel lines to give regenerative cooling, meanwhile integza's design here has basically the entirety of the combustion chamber benefiting from regenerative cooling as both the entire chamber and the metal pattern inside of the chamber are completely enveloped in active fuel flow. long as the fuel flow is good enough it should have plenty of active cooling, I'd be more worried about the nozzle overheating as it completely lacks any sort of active cooling.

You can probably create hollow tubes throughout that metal interior now that go in one side and out the other and fill the metal with coolant. The other thing they do is cool the fuel going into the rocket.

Integza, your innovative 3D-printed rocket engine is mind-blowing! The unique combustion chamber design is a game-changer, and I'm thrilled to see you pushing the envelope of DIY aerospace engineering. Building on your brilliant work, I've got some ideas that might take your thermal efficiency to the next level: 1. **Nozzle Cooling Extension**: While your internal mesh is doing a great job with regenerative cooling around the combustion chamber, the nozzle might be at risk of becoming a hotspot. What if you extended the fractal lattice pattern into the nozzle itself? This could create micro-channels for coolant flow, addressing the current cooling deficiency without compromising structural integrity. 2. **Tri-Layer Fractal Cooling Matrix**: Imagine a three-layer cooling system: - Inner layer: Your current fuel circulation for initial cooling and pre-heating - Middle layer: Cryogenic oxidizer flow for intense cooling - Outer layer: A separate coolant (maybe water or liquid methane) for final heat dissipation This multi-layer approach could dramatically improve heat management and potentially allow for higher combustion temperatures and greater thrust. 3. **Adaptive Thermal Distribution**: What if you incorporated a network of micro-sensors throughout the engine to monitor temperature in real-time? You could use this data to dynamically adjust the flow rates in each cooling layer, optimizing heat distribution on the fly. 4. **Smart Material Integration**: For your next 3D printing endeavor, consider a composite material that combines: - Low thermal expansion alloys for structural stability - High thermal conductivity elements to efficiently channel heat to cooling systems - Shape-memory alloys that respond to temperature changes, automatically adjusting critical clearances for optimal performance 5. **Thermal Energy Recapture**: Here's a wild idea - what if you implemented a thin layer of thermoelectric generators in the outer cooling jacket? This could convert some of the waste heat into electricity to power your engine's control systems and sensors. It's like getting free energy! I'm incredibly excited to see where you take this next, Integza. Your work is inspiring a whole new generation of rocket enthusiasts and makers. Have you considered any of these approaches? I'd love to hear your thoughts on their feasibility in your setup. Keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible!

I have a few comments on this: 1. Try using oxygen instead of air. 2. Whatever fluid is of higher pressure, use it and the bernoulli principle to pull the fluid with lower pressure out of it's container. High speed fluids can create a vacuum in the right geometries, which can pull other fluids with it. With this you can greatly increase the throughput of your fuel. 3. A detached flame can work in your favor I think. If you optimize the speed so that the flame is only just detached from your internal nozzle, you won't have to worry about temperature resistance of the nozzle. As long as the combustion stays inside of your combustion chamber, you're golden. 4. With the lattice geometry you get great surface area, which is good for smooth and consistent fuel injection, but awful for internal overheating. The lattice at the front of the nozzle will probably get far too much heat, and risks getting burnt. At least it risks getting burned if you have an oxygen surplus. If your chemistry is in perfect balance, then the nozzle can't burn from inside out, all it can do is melt. Still worrysome though. Great work! And I doubt that 7 beers would make it up. Considering the price of baseline metal 3d printing... It feels more like 70 to 7000 beers to compensate him.

if you're designing the engine for mostly atmospheric operation, such as the primary lifting boosters, perhaps he could design a chamber that uses a secondary porous section for the nozzle section that could have regular air pumped into it to create an insulating barrier against the combustion (and maybe introduce a bit more oxygen) that extends down to the point where you would switch to a more heat tolerant material for the diverging cone. assuming that he switched from atmospheric air to pure oxygen for the main mixing chamber, that should provide a good method of A) reducing cooling needs overall, especially with optimizing the flame displacement to not contact the internal gyroid, and B) preventing the converging section from melting, while potentially reducing stress on the overall structure from the detonations since the insulating air can also act as a bit of a shock absorber reducing the spikes into a more constant force on the housing. even as it is, it would probably be a pretty good design for a control surface type thruster. one that doesn't run continuously, but still needs to produce smooth thrust, and needs to start quickly. though, this would probably only apply to large structures like the ISS, with high inertia and won't need rapid small adjustments like the various modules that dock with the ISS.

Great Idea for a new way for fuel injection. But i just got an idea whilst i was in my shower (the best place to think imo), on all your videos i saw, you work on nozzles issues, combustion chamber issues, injection failures or materials issues mostly. But i think you forget a major flaw on all your designs : the fuel presure. I think you should work on a turbo-pump on a side project to ease a lot of your injection problems and combustion chamber pressure issues. Keep it simple, a turbine powered by an electrical motor, some pressure sensors to check ins and outs and a small algorithm to control the speed of the pump depending on pressure data. No need to resist high heat, just pressure, so tou can maybe 3d print it or even maybe recycle an old turbocharger turbine (making rocket engine while saving the planet, what a great deed :D)

I love the novel design on this. Here's what I'd do next if it were me. 1. Get a lexan shield in case that thing decides to become a grenade. The more you play with that engine, the higher pressure you're going to be tempted to run. At some point, it WILL fail. Safety first. 2. Design a cooling jacket around the engine to help keep the case cool. Don't burn your ears. :) 3. Huge bonus points if you can find a way to liquid cool the Gyroid as well. The biggest problem with your design is going to be keeping that thing cool so it doesn't melt. The heat has nowhere else to go, and without a slight gas buffer between the fuel/air and the metal, it's going to absorb heat instead of using the fuel/air as a pass-through coolant. 4. Switch from compressed air to pure oxygen so you don't have to waste energy on the pre-heat.

Not a rocket scientists but thermodynamics engineer. First of all: I am impressed, keep it up! There are two issues you will encounter. The first is overheating. As soon as you substitute air with only oxygen temperatures inside the combustion chamber will quickly exceed the melting point of your materials, unless you can guarantee that the flow of un-combusted fuel and oxidizer can keep them cool from within. The next issue is that having a complex matrix inside the combustion chamber might create shockwave issues. I can envision a similar lattice developing as a cone from the bottom of the combustion chamber, leaving an open exit towards the exit nozzle.

You could make a rocket engine by fusing some concepts of engines you made, like for example, a watercooled plastic pulsjet/shockwave reactor, burning hydrogen and oxygen made with an electrolysis. The HHO could be compressed by a compressor powered by a V2 rocket steam turbine rotating thanks to a hydrogen peroxyde and potassium permanganate reaction, and the dioxygen be reinjected in the reactor.

The flame detachment probably plays a role in keeping the combustion chamber walls from overheating. If the flame only starts a certain distance away from the combustion chamber wall, then that wall can only get heated by radiation, not by conduction. The problem with your nozzle design at 2:32 is more that your combustion chamber is so small that the "flame detachment distance" is half of the length of your combustion chamber.

Hello, maybe you could use the heat from your engine to get higher butane pressure, so it act like a coolant and getting butane to pressure. Or you could even heat the butane/air mixture before getting in the combustion chamber going around it. I don't know if it would have a huge impact, but for me more T° means more pressure + it would be used as coolant for 'realiability'/structure integrity. Anyway, just throwing an idea, I love your videos, keep it like that (real science and a lot of fun) !

Hi Integza, I’m a huge fan of your videos and really admire how you break down complex technologies for two years now. I thought you might be interested in a few project ideas for your next video, especially related to jet engines and lesser-known inventions from the past. Some suggestions for your new movies: Pulsejet engine based on the V-1 Wouldn’t it be awesome to build a miniature version of the pulsejet engine from the V-1? It would be fascinating to see how the pulse combustion cycle works and how such an engine could be used to power simple UAVs or model planes. René Lorin's Ramjet Engine I think reconstructing one of the earliest ramjet engines, designed by René Lorin in the 1920s, could make for an amazing video. A simple ramjet with no moving parts that only requires high inlet speed would be a thrilling DIY challenge. Jet Engine Using the Coandă Effect The Coandă Effect is such a cool concept. Building a jet engine based on this effect, which generates thrust by directing airflow along curved surfaces, could yield some awesome results. This could be a perfect new experiment with drones! Steam and Water Propulsion à la Alexander Graham Bell Creating a miniature boat or land vehicle powered by steam or water, inspired by Alexander Graham Bell’s experiments with water jet propulsion, sounds like a perfect fit for your channel. Water and steam are simple mediums but could be used to build an impressive DIY propulsion system. Turbojet Engine Made from Cans One of the more ambitious projects - how about creating a simplified turbojet engine using aluminum cans? It would be fascinating to see how you could replicate the workings of a turbojet using available materials in everyday shop. I think these ideas would resonate well with your spirit and would definitely grab attention! Looking forward to seeing your future projects, and best of luck with your next experiments.

Very cool, I really hope that you keep developing this concept! Some analysis, suggestions and warnings: - I don't think choked flow means what you think it does. The flow probably isn't choked in your porous injector. It just has so much surface area and so many twists and turns inside that it significantly impedes flow. Choked flow is a condition that happens at a constriction in the flow when the flow conditions are such that the local Mach number reaches 1 (the flow speed becomes equal to the local speed of sound in the gas in question). If a constriction with choked flow is constricted further (the cross-sectional area decreased) the mass flow rate will simply decrease as the flow speed stays the same. To increase speed one needs to counter-intuitively increase cross-sectional area on the other side of the constriction. This is what happens in a rocket nozzle! - The mass flow required to get choked flow (local Mach 1 in the throat) is related to your stagnation (chamber¹) pressure and throat area linearly and related to your stagnation (chamber¹) temperature by the square root of the reciprocal (sqrt(1/T)) (higher chamber temperature at the same pressure means lower density). Assuming that your exhaust gas is the result of a prefect combustion of oxygen and butane it will be 8 parts CO2 and 10 parts H20. Taking the weighted averages of their respective heat capacity ratios (denoted γ) we get 1.3. Throw some nitrogen from the air in there with γ=1.4 and let's say we have an effective heat capacity ratio of 1.35. This gives us a stagnation to critical pressure ratio of ~1.86. Since your nozzle basically doesn't have an expanding section let us assume that the pressure at the nozzle throat and exit is the same, at atmospheric pressure (say, 1 bar). This means that your chamber pressure has to be 1.86 times atmospheric (=1.86 bar) to get choked flow in the throat. This does seem possible with your setup, but your flow rate is probably not what you entered into the rocket design software. Various flow restrictions (primarily your porous injector I would think) all affect the flow rate, and so I very much doubt that your setup is able to deliver enough mass to keep up the required chamber pressure for choked flow with you current throat diameter. While having never designed a rocket engine myself (I have done a lot of research and analysis though), I suspect finding a correct throat area and mass flow combination is somewhat of an iterative process (though most large rocket engines probably deliver way more mass flow than the minimum required to keep up stagnation so they can choose the throat area a bit more freely). By characterizing your fuilds system you should be able to come up with a pretty decent first guess though. To do this you need to establish the relationship between pressure drop and mass flow rate for each of the major components in your fluids system. As far as I see, this is your injector and the pressure regulators. I would suggest getting a special engine printed without the constricting part of the nozzle, such that it can be assumed that the pressure on the chamber side of the injector is atmospheric. Then add some T-junctions before the injector inlets and add pressure transducers/gauges there. Then, at different pressure regulator settings, measure what the pressure is before the injector. The pressure drop over the injector is then just the difference between what the gauge says and atmospheric pressure. You can measure the butane used by weighing the tank before and after. With the air you can measure the compressor tank pressure before and after and then use the tank volume and ideal gas law to calculate the mass difference (just remember to take the pressure measurements at the same temperature before and after - gas heats up when compressed and cools down when it expands during the test, so wait a bit after having run the compressor and having run the tests to let temperatures equalize! Alternatively you can also somehow measure the air temperature in the tank). You can characterize the pressure regulators in the same way, removing the injector from the T-junctions, though keeping these attached to the hoses. You should be able to estimate the pressure in the butane tank as the vapor pressure of butane at whatever temperature you're keeping the tank at - at least at low enough flow-rates so that the boiling butane can keep up, and I'm guessing you have a gauge on your air compressor. Once you have a relationship between pressure drop and mass flow for each pressure regulator and the injector (i believe the relationship should be some sort of root) you can introduce a mass flow ratio variable and then you should be able to derive an expression for the total mass flow from the target chamber pressure and either butane or air tank pressure. Once you have a mass flow you can then calculate the pressure required in the other tank. Finally, plug the mass flow rate into RPA along with your specified chamber pressure and see what throat and exit diameter it spits out. If possible, get a few nozzles printed with different target mass flow rate values a little above and below this, so you can see which one actually works best, you can perhaps make the converging-diverging section interchangeable? Might I also suggest going back to the first design with just a simple injector? If you get the injector printed as well you could pretty easily make try different types like an impinging injector, swirl injector or pintle injector. It kind of does defeat the point of this engine, but I still think that you will get more performance per mass with a more traditional injector. - Please add more instrumentation in general! Keep the T-junctions with the perssure sensors before the injector and add a chamber pressure sensor! A pipe with a tiny inner diameter and thick walls poking out from the side of the chamber with a fitting in the end should do the trick. There is not hot gas flowing through the pipe, and the pipe walls should conduct enough heat away such that your gauge/transducer doesn't get damaged. While you're at it you might as well add one in the throat as well! - You could look into regeneratively cooling your chamber walls with the air or butane before they are mixed (heating the mixture of the two seems like a really bad idea, and be careful that the coolant fluid doesn't get so hot that the mixture ignites on the upstream side of the gyroid). Both of your designs are already effectively regeneratively cooled up until the converging section. As the exhaust gas speeds up through the nozzle, the temperature also decreases (kinetic energy from the chaotic microscopic movements of the gas molecules - heat - is becoming macroscopic directed kinetic energy - bulk gas movement) so cooling requirements decrease in step. Your likely non-optimal mixture ratio (and the fact that there's a lot of inert nitrogen present) means that your combustion probably isn't hot enough to melt the walls in the first place, and axial heat conduction through the walls helps a bit too. Nevertheless it could be cool to try - it might allow you to raise your combustion temperature for more efficiency! - Please please please, I implore you to take more safety precautions. This applies to many of your videos 😅. Rocket engines can and do explode! Even in a low-pressure engine like this, liquid butane might for example get into the engine, touch the hot walls and flash to gas, potentially causing an explosion (I am not saying it _will_ happen, but you don't want to be next to the engine when you find out - liquid butane _did_ flow into the chamber at 7:50 after all). Please conduct your tests outside with shielding around the engine and proper safety distance and hearing protection! Being outside is also way better if you have a gas leak. Also, please please please make sure that you are not exceeding the rated working pressure and temperature of that butane bottle! I really hope you already did, but read the warning labels on the bottle! - Lastly, that "laminar" in the title seems to be more clickbait than anything. I fail to see what is especially "laminar" about this engine. 1: Stagnation properties are the properties that the gas would take on if it were to stand completely still. Of course the gas is moving at every point in the engine, but the difference in cross-sectional area between the throat and combustion chamber means that the gas is moving relatively slow in the combustion chamber and thus the pressure, temperature and density here can pretty much be taken to be the stagnation values.

Two things: 1) Your best bet at improving performance now is working on the nozzle. By improving the geometry you could get much faster velocities out of the exaust. Consider the ratio between inside and outside pressure of the combustion chamber. There is a critical ratio at which the flow goes sonic (M=1) at the throat, after that it doesn't accelerate much even by increasing the chamber's pressure. To accelerate the flow even further the bell nozzle is required. It is a bit of a pain to compute the exact geometries but I'm sure there's some software out there able to do it precisely. 2) the idea of "just air" vs "combustion" comparison doesn't make much sense if you also add fuel: the total mass flow rate is larger than "just air"! A more accurate comparison would be "air + fuel without combustion" and "air + fuel w/ combustion"

Your second point is accurate. The first point not so much, mainly because there’s already a nozzle in the engine! A tiny one for sure, but the geometry is already there. The video hasn’t shown it well unfortunately. My evidence for the tiny nozzle is that you can clearly see the exhaust flame shape clearly directed and linear. The main objective of a nozzle is to reduce radial expansion of the flame, especially in low pressures/ space vacuum. I don’t think a large nozzle skit would actually work because it would have to be very very low aperture and then you are introducing lesser understood fluid-surface interactions and losses without the major gain of tradicional large nozzle (operation on space). Maybe it could get your system efficiency a few % higher, but I wouldn’t bet any money that this is the main cause of loss.

You know, the pieces they call "flame holders" that look like beer cans. Very cool mobius mixer though. Similar purpose of improving the air/fuel fixing to provide a continuous burn. My eighth grade math project was a burn jet engine that used successive venturis that leveraged the velocity of the acetylene gas to mix in air in the combustion chamber. I welded it together out of steel tubing and used only the acetylene from my fathers welding rig. I didn't have any way of measuring thrust at the time but and it worked well enough to get a solid project grade and impressed the instructor with my Bernoulli calculations.

The reason real rocket engines basically never use a system like that for fuel injection or cooling, despite the really impressive theoretical efficiency, is the enormous pressure drop across the porous metal layer. You also don't get choked flow at the injector face, which makes getting consistent performance across the throttle range much harder. There's a good reason basically all modern rockets use either pintel or coaxial swirl injectors. They're by far the easiest-to-manufacture solutions with really good mixing. Pintel injectors have a huge effective throttle range for fine control. Coaxial swirl injectors are actually 3D printable in a single piece with no finish machining and are pretty forgiving design-wise for small engines.

And also conventional design avoids you having to worry about melting the lining of the porous metal that's used for gas injection. Using a porous material for the injector (and a gyroid to increase injection surface) makes film-cooling way more complex as well. This design, although very interesting for the efficiency it allows to reach, does not scale up to industrial-grade applications where pressures are way more important, and where demands for reliability and robustness are increased.

Suggestion for a next video: You could try to modify the hairdryer jet engine with a bigger fan (or compressed air) before the impeller you are using to propel the air-fuel mixture. In this way you are going to accelerate the air in the tube along its walls (a slightly bigger one this time). You should be able to achive higher speeds along the walls of the tube so combusion will not happen there and you will not melt the plexiglass cilinder. The speed in the central part should be somewhat the same and you might even try to use more fuel, as in more pressure for the fuel (i dont think using hydrogen as a sobstitute fuel will be safe, interesting? maybe, but defenitely not safe XD) Great video as always

so a ram jet with a compressor in front? that sounds an awful lot like a regular jet engine to me haha

You're off to a very, very good start, the only problem and real rocket engineers will notice straight away is the sparks fly off during and after combustion that obviously means something is melting. The moment you can solve that issue you may have invented a very nice rock injection system. I believe the melted bits are from the very edges of the gyroid shape that may or may not cause any problems later on. If only the laser process would work on a higher heat tolerance metal or place a bypass valve near the very end of the gyroid to cool it down along the edges Edit: best of luck to your future discovery's

He mentioned it was some starter melting. It also could be some left over metal power from making the part.

Yeah, the two main problems he's having right now is not having a more powerful fuel delivery system and the engine is turning itself into reaction mass.

I'm only an aerospace engineer, not a rocket specialist, so I haven't touched rockets since my undergrad, but I'd be confident saying you're going to struggle to cool that kind of injector, especially as you try to increase the size of the engine (think squared-cubed law). Also, if you're using a pre-mixing chamber before "injecting" the mix into the main combustion chamber, you risk the flame front travelling back through the metal and igniting the mixture where you don't want it, unintentionally increasing the pressure in your mixing chamber which could have explosive consequences. Lastly, the geometry in the combustion chamber is likely just adding resistance to the exhaust exiting, causing a loss of efficiency.

You should try this idea but with the Potassium Permanganate and the Hydrogen Peroxide Propellants again.

That combination is hypergolic(ignites without flame) though, which means that you couldn't mix it before injecting it to the chamber through the porous walls.

Hi Integza, I think the theme for your future video should be a boiler that boils water in seconds to power a steam turbine. I've had the idea for a few months and worked out everything, but not skilled enough to try it out myself.

I know im probably not getting the 3D printer lol. But you videos are awesome. I work in a cast iron foundry. Im currently in the process of making a mold to pour a chrome iron rocket engine. I like your approach with the propellants. Im probably going to do something similar to this video. Thanks man.
