Keg-Based Propulsion Design - KegRocket Ep. 2

[@TomStantonEngineering]

Enjoying this project with a beer in hand 🍺

[@KegRocket]

Hoping you enjoyed the 2L bottle features 😉

[@TomStantonEngineering]

I did! Especially the burst test haha

[@SpaceFlamingo07]

Enjoying this project with the US drinking age in hand

[@feelincrispy7053]

I feel like you’re always in every niche engineering project video comment section haha makes sense I guess

[@Nerd1704]

Possibly would be if I was 21 or older, I live in the US

[@BPSspace]

WAKE UP BABE NEW KEGROCKET VIDEO JUST DROPPED

[@ChrisCrozier]

OOOoooo Beer rocket + Meat rocket = SPACE BBQ!

[@richspillman4191]

I hope your telemetry electronics is used on this project. It was great seeing you in the footage.

[@DylanEdmiston]

lolll

[@Banaannaa]

this is crazy, I watched one of your vids then wanted to see some liquid fuel ones and found this video and comment!

[@julianlauterfeld6273]

Mister Bisslington in the house 😂

[@oliverer3]

There's something about engineering around arbitrary requirements just because it's fun that I just love!

[@NicholasRehm]

I am rooting so hard for you Keg stand on launch day mandatory

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Having built a air compressor from two kegs welded together. I absolutely strongly endorse making a rocket out of these magical stainless tanks!

[@KegRocket]

Now that's a marine grade air compressor!

[@petrosiuksline7013]

More more more, we want more!

[@kronos10705]

LETS GO!!! MEN I TRUST IN INTRO!!!

[@benjaminnevins5211]

Whoooooo! Been waiting for an update!

[@robertkesselring]

Video published right before Star Ship's second flight when a lot of people are searching for 'rocket launch' videos... Well played sir.

[@babygorilla4233]

I like how I immediately understood why you want less propellant in the tank because it's exactly how the garden sprayer I use to water plants works. As you pump more out there's more gas to pressurize so it runs out slower and pumps the fluid more smoothly. I water my plants by rocket science cool.

[@srabansinha3430]

Kegs have a big Way to go ! Enjoying your enthusiasm to the brim ;)

[@shawnrinkel8377]

I’m with Tom on holding a beer. This is so cool!

[@vinylexperience77]

I love channels like yours. This is what KZbin was founded on. It is a shame what is going on with KZbin. Keep up the awesome work and recording it, and sharing it with us all.

[@tissuepaper9962]

7:10 "combussin' chamber" got a very loud snort out of me, well done.

[@meihem76]

I spent 7 years following a Classic Mini build with a 3-6 month update schedule that was initially expected to take a few months. I'm patient enough to wait for this in your own time.

[@KegRocket]

Thank you for being a reasonable person :)

[@ABFMick]

Here from Project Binky?

[@rikpoletti]

You can use liquid CO2 to pressurize fuel tank. it's 76 atm at standard temp, wich is compatible with Keg pressure limit. A rubber inner tube can be used to separate CO2 from Fuel and Liquid Oxigen. So you can have constant pressure for all the flight.

[@Rizzler420-uh4yd]

COMPLEXITY! COMPLEXITY BAD!

[@burntorangeak]

I am indeed enthusiastically watching this project.

[@king_br0k]

Love it, useing the limitations of your concept as advantages

[@E30B]

'honey wake up keg rocket posted a new banger

[@StarScapesOG]

I don't drink, but I find the serendipity of the beer keg rocket running on ethanol to be hilarious!

[@merxellus1456]

No matter how small or how slow, i really wish u guys do weekly updates.. this project is quite interesting

[@tbounds4812]

this is the first ive seen of these videos i knew id enjoy it but god damn dude i didn't expect the video to be this high quality

[@BlixenBlorp]

LETS GOOO!!! KEG ROCKET EP 2!! I have been patiently waiting.

[@SnausageKing]

Wisconsin space program looking good

[@IanMott]

Best use of kegs ever!

[@BPBomber]

Just like your 2L bottle demonstration, I experience that same effect in practice using a pump garden sprayer to spray weeds. As the amount of liquid it contains decreases, to a point, the sprayer seems to work better and better.

[@KegRocket]

Exactly!

[@Cyrus_of_the_Hills]

A liquor fueled rocket, sounds like the ticket to me!

[@notmadrocketscientist1902]

I like how simple your propellant feeding system is. You don't need extra tank for nitrogen and pressure regulators both oxygen and fuel. Not necessary less mass but simple.

[@ddopson]

I love that Project Keg-Rocket is doing proper engineering. Gives me hope for humanity.

[@timebert9467]

Really cool project. Have a look at keg CIP systems (how kegs are cleaned). It's pretty much the same as your pressure feed system but on an unmodified keg.

[@SomeSortaPro]

I love the intro, so simple but so good🤣 cracking a beer now fellas

[@SomeSortaPro]

wow, love love love this series! thank you kegrocket!

[@XDFreakLP]

This is well on its way of becoming the best DIY rocket series on youtube

[@AirCommandRockets]

Great update! Really interesting to hear the methodology behind the design.

[@konserv]

Very elegant (simple pretty often is elegant) propulsion system design! ❤️

[@dirtdart81]

Exciting update, looking forward to the next, whenever it comes

[@walkstheman98]

This is a project worth waiting for new videos. I love this amount of effort and engineering done for fun, makes me want to build stuff again

[@DH-sw6vg]

Looking forward to your next installment!

[@Ender240sxS13]

Fantastic, can't wait to see work on the engine. My senior design project for my aerospace engineering degree focused on designing a liquid prop engine for a cis-lunar "space tug", i love this kind of stuff.

[@dfgaJK]

I'm fascinated to see how complex the rocket engine is. I am intrigued to know if it will open up the prospect of model rocket full thrust vectoring!

[@actionjksn]

You cannot legally put thrust vectoring on a hobby rocket. That would be a guidance system, which means you made a missile. You would get a very unfriendly visit from the federal government.

[@lukeyboi2204]

can't wait for future videos!

[@Lilpiip123]

Honestly talk to red bull. They love sponsoring crazy ass projects like this if you just slap a red bull logo on it lmao.

[@mf1ve]

Yes, I look forward to seeing you fly some kegs! Please keep updating us when you have time.

[@plane7453]

Yes, I was really hoping there was going to be another one of these Videos.

[@Jessev741]

I love that you posted this on the eve of the Starship IFT2. I'm in a rocketing mood AND I could use a beer!

[@thescispot4780]

I’ve been waiting for part 2!

[@666crippled666]

Finally the second video in the tutorial is here.

[@noobFab]

Been waitin' fer this!!! Suh-weeet! Can't believe you had to spend that long explaining how the Keggaroo is gonna fly, I mean it's not rocket sci.... oh, wait...

[@mastur_grunt4244]

Lookin' good, I can't wait for the next episode!

[@tonydotnottingham]

Thanks for explaining your thought process and taking us along for the ride!

[@nickjones6065]

Great video, well explained, I even understood the maths!

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

Von Braun would love this, home-built rockets.

[@merijn1086]

Love the project! The experiments are clear for some viewers with low engineering/rocket experience. However, it is fairly intuitive for most viewers I feel like. Would be hyped to see some thrust tests! (Yes I know the engine needs to be built first)

[@uvbe]

got this randomly recommended... I love it! Waiting for part 3!!!!

[@caseybackes]

Bro. Nerd to nerd, this is freaking awesome. Cool engineering project, thanks for documenting the process. Very interesting to watch. Keep up the great work!

[@TrebleSketch]

Thabks for the update, you've done well at explaining the reasoning/why and such! And love the bloopers too :D

[@amandahugankiss4110]

holy shit.. they actually did the part two!

[@CreepyChappy]

Hurry and launch !!!

[@brucerowney8380]

Good stuff! Enjoy the journey and thanks for sharing it with us!

[@-_-hi8964]

Thank for the update. Love this project.

[@the_gary]

Now that I have seen Starship fly, this is my new most anticipated rocket launch to watch. 🤩

[@daniel_tv_ger8773]

I already cant wait for the next episode!!

[@alexduncan9941]

I am enthusiastically watching this project.

[@RocketmanAleks]

I love everything about this project, and your videos make it so easy to digest the info! So excited to continue to follow project KegRocket. I'm gonna have to come out to see the launch when it happens! 🚀

[@SpeedyGwen]

about the empty space for blowdown mode, its actually the exact same principle as for water rockets, around 33% is the most optimal amount of water compared to air, more water and it will lose thrust fast, less water and it will run out of water sooner without as much deltaV gotten, I am extremly happy of doing water rockets as a kid and knowing that from it

[@finnrutha4577]

Love the video and the project idea! 😄 all the the best from New Zealand from an employee at Rocket Lab 🤘

[@simonabunker]

Great explanation! It would be interesting to hear how you are going to deal with cryogenics - I have heard liquid oxygen can be nasty stuff. Loved the extra scrubbing out of hypergolic fuel!

[@vicroc4]

He's definitely going to want some insulation on the LOX tank.

[@cherylm2C6671]

Seems to me that acceleration would help out feeding of fuel, and, at a constant feed rate, acceleration would increase as fuel is burned and overall weight drops off. Secondly, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the tank would increase as the rocket climb, both considerations leading to there not being as much loss of feed rate. Also, to the degree that the feed rate falls off, the pressure in the engine would also drop off, so the back pressure in the fuel lines resisting flow would be less. By the way, the V2 used alcohol (I read 75%) and liquid oxygen.

[@julius6429]

Love the series! Can you send a can of beer on the rocket? That would be the cherry on top❤

[@pyro1596]

I can't wait for this to fly. I have wanted to make a liquid rocket engine ever since I was little and now that I'm a CNC machinist, I might eventually make one

[@gavinrfuller]

Excellent project man. I would love to see the airframe design and build as the next episode.

[@ziggyinta]

im gonna keep an eye on this! thanks for the fun content!!!!

[@ReefmanAI]

Great video! Looking forward to seeing the engine design and some hot fire tests!

[@richspillman4191]

I hope you partner with BPS Space for the telemetry electronics.

[@jakobmax3299]

Loved the double scribling of hydrazine...

[@Sc1Z]

Cannot wait till the next video!

[@TheCheech0203]

Absolutely phenomenal can’t wait to see it fly

[@vmened]

We need more content! I hope you able to do weekly updates

[@KegRocket]

Constantly posting random updates on Twitter/X and Instagram: @kegrocket. Follow us there if you can!

[@napierpaxman]

Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder! ;)

[@sempertard]

Nice! I love the built-in handles. that's a must for the ground crew and a rocket this size.

[@stopmessingwithyt]

combussin' chamber 😳

[@MURD3R3D]

So happy to see some happy coincidences workingnin your favor. Cant wait to see the rest of the project

[@zebop917]

I love it that guys like you are able to these completely nuts and off the wall projects so I don’t have to. I am absolutely subscribing to the channel and looking forward to updates whenever real life gets out of the way.

[@chrischristoff4283]

Respect mate. Great presentation! Love to see how it progresses

[@donlindell1994]

Where are the awesome tee shirts with amazing logos?!?!? How can I possibly enjoy a frosty adult beverage while watching the much anticipated launch episode without wearing some sort of officially licensed "KEG ROCKET" merch? This is exactly why I went back for my MBA after working 5 years as an EE. THE MONEY!!!!

[@KegRocket]

We're working on it, stay tuned!

[@Trogladitian]

So next vid is about a thruster or the on board computer or parachutes!

[@TmanT321]

Heck yeah man keep it up! Love the music taste too. Men I Trust is one my favorite bands

[@Waffle_6]

so excited for this, such a cool project

[@AuthenticAfricanAdventures]

Super stoked for this project. I also like your visualizations, clear and well-paced explanations.

[@szszg]

I was just wondering about this project while looking at some Guinness kegs at the front of the pub. And bang, update!

[@vicroc4]

As an added bonus, by using LOX/ethanol you're using the same combination that the X-1 did. (Also the V-2)

[@wadewilson524]

Looking forward to seeing the keg party!

[@WimsMill]

The first rockets (German V1 and V2) also used ethanol. They reportedly had problems with storing this liquid. It would often disappear.

[@hoagy_ytfc]

Sometimes the algorithm comes good, and recommends something like this to me. Great project, new subscriber. Good luck.

[@user-el4np5xt8c]

Awesome concept, nice work man. Thumbs up and hope you get big^^

[@thromboid]

3:13 "...and boom!" is the rocket engineer's catchphrase. 😁

[@bakedbillybacon]

You guys are absolutely amazing. Let's f* beer launch!

[@Alpaiko]

The man whips out a calculator to solve 200x1.45 while doing literal rocket science, thanks for the chuckle!

[@fruitymf6952]

That's ine of the best project I've seen here and I hope it will be succesful it's a really nice idea

[@yolandaortiz5530]

This is amazing! I live for this.

[@MatthewLiguori]

Keg Rocket Hype!
