Kerbal Space Program - Your Physics Have No Power Over Me!

This video has been outdated since the release of 1.0 - it's still fun....
Old Text
To improve the perfomance of KSP some spacecraft parts do not have full physics applied to them and in particular the latest version of KSP includes an engine which adds thrust but is effectively massless.

[@Yonkage]

Agreed. Kerbal Engineer gave all those parts mass...

[@andresreinot3593]

Might I suggest a "patch" for the planetary bounce? Above a certain velocity of impact, speed and mass are converted entirely into energy and you get a kilotons-of-TNT reading for how spectacular your crash was. New challenge: build an inter-planetary mass extinction device!

[@anter176]

now that'd be something, but maybe it shouldn't have restrictions?

[@BlackEpyon]

The thing the game forgot was to make the capsule explode from those kilotons of TNT, and the result was a bounce!

[@brianjaber3171]

Hi Scott, as a young man I had an opportunity to watch Apollo 11 launch from just 3miles from the pad and while picking up my fillings from the ground I realized I was hooked. However to work in the industry meant very serious studies and even more serious employers...Now in my mid 60’s and retired I find myself having crazy fun watching your show. Thank you for that and keep up the great job you do I really do enjoy it.

[@ifly6]

'Your physics have no power over me'. Yea, no obviously. When you give something infinite massless fuel, that's kind of ... implied.

[@kosiak10851]

+ifly6 massless fuel would give zero impulse to the spaceship. It's pointless for use with rocket engines.

[@Goreuncle]

+kosiak10851 If that infinite massless fuel could react to create a blast of energy, then it would definitely give impulse to the spaceship. You would still be adding energy to the system, thus providing impulse.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

+Goreuncle Impulse depends on the mass of the fuel anyway so no matter how much energy is generated, none of it will be used as thrust.

[@bigmoose7]

+Filipe Amaral we aren't talking about conventional physics here.....with cheats 0 mass is being converted into lots of energy

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

Big Moose Well, the original context is that by cheating, physics have no power over you. They'd still have, as massless fuel can't produce impulse. The "cheat" is only possible in the game engine which merely sees mass and thrust as inputs on a game file rather than calculate them.

[@HALLish-bl3bm]

I tried to do the opposite, see how big an object I could make out of physics less parts and propel it with an ion engine and wings. The answer crashed my computer and corrupted the save file.

[@Grumpydrawer]

Well I'm sorry out your save file. But atleast it was sacrificed in the name of SCIENCE!

HALL9000ish Could you post the .craft file?

[@HALLish-bl3bm]

CreeperOnYourHouse That entire KSP install was utterly buggered. It wouldn't even get past the loading screen, so I removed it. My craft wasn't hard to make, just make an ion engine plane and put a big long beam of cubic struts and wheels on the front. Due to it having no impact on anything (apart from my ram) it got very long and the kraken arrived more than once, though at 1 fps its hard to tell.

[@DanielLCarrier]

"How fast can you fly around Kerbin?" Kerbin has a radius r = 600km. If you're moving in a circle, acceleration is radius divided by angular velocity squared (a = ω^2/r), Solving for angular velocity gives ω = √(a/r). That gives radians per second. The period is 2π/ω = 2π√(600km/a). One g is about 10m/s^2. You were going at around 500 gs I think. Let's round it up to six hundred. 2π√(600km/6000m/s^2) = 2π√(100s^2) = 20π s, which is about 63 seconds. Note that if you're doing this properly, you should be pointed towards Kerbin.

Nice. Interestingly you only need 1g of acceleration. It's not the acceleration that gets you to the destination quicker, it's the constant acceleration that does. A short burst is no good on it's own. :)

[@mortisCZ]

Well you need acceleration if you have some kind of cruiser or battleship or anything like that and you need some maneuverability.:-D

[@Prophes0r]

It is actually very easy to figure out how fast you can go around Kerbin in any given craft. You showed us that as our speed increases, we will need to point more and more toward the planet. This is because you have exceeded the Orbital speed at this radius. Now, as we point more toward the center of our rotation (Center of the planet), more and more of our thrust is being used to keep us close to the planet, instead of making us go faster around it. Eventually, ALL our thrust will be pointed straight down (towards the planet center) and we will stop gaining speed. Normally, we use the orbital speed formula to figure out how fast we need to make an object to put it at the height we want from our planet. (we will assume the mass of the satellite is negligible compared to the mass of the planet) v = Square root of [ (G * Mass of Kerbin) / radius ] But our case is special, and also just as simple. Since we know that in the end we will be using ALL of our thrust to keep our orbit small, we can just add the acceleration of our engines to the acceleration of gravity. We end up with... v = Square root of ( [ (G + acceleration due to rocket) * Mass of Kerbin ] / radius ) NOTE 1: I used G the gravitational constant, not g the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. I'm pretty sure the game engine cheats and just uses g when calculating things, but it should not matter much in the end. NOTE 2: I am ignoring drag in these formula. If drag were not modeled, we would want to be as close to the surface as possible, because it would give us a smaller r, and that would give us a bigger v. But we DO have to deal with drag. Because of this, we will never actually be able to point our craft STRAIGHT down, because we will also need forward acceleration to counteract the acceleration due to drag (it is still acceleration, not deceleration which is not a word, it is just in the opposite direction.)

[@LuvodicusMycaelis]

***** it's not "deceleration " it's called "negative acceleration "

[@LuvodicusMycaelis]

***** Deceleration is just a word. In the example you provided, you explained negative acceleration. The reason being is, you know, maths.. it's not 7 - 2... it's 7 +(-2) , thus adding a negative number. not subtracting. You're adding velocity to the craft, whether it be rockets, drag, people, or trees. It's a negative acceleration you're adding to the craft.

[@Tetemovies4]

why not simply say acceleration instead of delta v?

[@scottmanley]

Tetemovies4 DeltaV is acceleration multiplied by time. It's quite common that engines with low thrust can operate for much longer and generate higher DeltaV

[@Tetemovies4]

Scott Manley how yeah okay i don't know why but in my head delta accidentaly became derivation instead of difference/variation :D

[@scottmanley]

Tetemovies4 Yes, acceleration is a function of time, deltaV is not a function of time. A spacecraft may have enough deltaV to get into orbit, but may lack the acceleration to do so.

[@EpicHypercar]

Because Delta V is 'change in velocity' and not 'acceleration'. For example, a car starts from rest and drives for 3 seconds until it reaches 9m/s. The change in velocity is 9m/s, whereas the acceleration is 3m/s. By 'change in velocity', I mean the difference between object's starting velocity and its end velocity (v-u). You could think of acceleration as 'velocity/speed per unit of time'.

[@Tetemovies4]
