Aerospikes are truly the 21st century chemical rocket engine technology. Of course, the development of it began last century, but only now we are beginning to stand a chance of actually making them work. And we must not give up.

This is absolutely amazing. It makes me SO happy to see this technology come into fruition finally. So very cool.

[@Vatsyayana87]

Its been around for almost as long as rocketry in general, making a test stand one is no outstanding feat. Though it was absolutely awesome! They have the much harder task of making it so much lighter and less complex then any rocket engineer in history that its actually worth putting on a rocket. I wish them the very best, as i really want to see these things finally fly.

Beautiful, I hope somehow you guys are able to make it worth putting on a proper rocket. Every major rocket engineer in the world agrees its not worth it quite yet, but that barrier has to be broken by someone. Break it and make the efficiency curve to space much much better, please. Good luck!

[@afoxwithahat7846]

The problem has always been material

[@Vatsyayana87]

@@afoxwithahat7846 Material is the answer to many things, but these are simply much more complex then traditional rockets as well, which also adds weight. Those two things are the nightmare of rocketry, the materials can be dealt with easier in my opinion. But getting better material will help allow the other issues to be found.

[@afoxwithahat7846]

@@Vatsyayana87 The aerospike engines got built in the past, but the surface area was much greater on the outside, making cooling inefficient plus it was heavier. Dunno if making single use engines would've been viable

[@Vatsyayana87]

@@afoxwithahat7846 Yes but we have some pretty impressive materials now and coming out soon, but the weight you mentioned is more of an issue in my opinion. Along with the complexity. If we can cool the throat of a traditional nozzel then we can cool the faceplate of say a linear aerospike. That tiny point of a toroidal spike would be much harder but we usually cut the tip off of those anyway to gain more thrust and efficiency. Commonly having the exhaust come out there helping keep the tip cooler. Complexity and weight is the main killer in my opinion. It just tips the scale towards not worth the time to make when there are much easier and more reliable means of doing the job.

[@t_c5266]

Looks to be pressure fed. Did you address the area of recirculation on the truncated spike? The part where the turbine exhaust usually makes up for the truncation of the spike. It looks like there's a void there which would reduce your efficiency.

[@mntbighker]

Single stage to orbit finally on the table, and at a bargain price in R&D. Congrats, I hope it scales up and transforms the rocket game. Presumably if it works pretty well you can develop the copper alloy even further.

[@vladimirljubopytnov5193]

nice! I can see its burning the copper a little bit.. What is the estimated life of the engine?

[@parsonsenergy]

I've always believed in the Aerospike engine since it's the SSTO solution.. SSTO vehicles inherently implies reuseability . What I like about Pangeas' approach for me is that it's like going out and getting an LS engine for my El Camino... in their case , if you have fuel tanks and a delivery system and you want to lift 100 tons ... it'll take 25 engines... that'll be 25 mill... they'll be producing 100's a month... At some point there will be so many engines people like us can start building vertical dragsters.. In thermodynamics, the goal is to achieve the highest temperature possible, by doing so you approach the limits of the fuel through complete ( stoichiometric ) combustion. The current problem of the Aerospike development (heat) is that of the paradigm that's being utilized to solve the heat problem. To a great extent this is a materials science issue, however, I believe that the wrong energy release technique is being utilized because i also believe non-nuclear thermodynamics is a time management and materials science problem. What causes heating upon a surface has to do with the residence time the heating medium is in contact with that surface, intermittency solves that problem..I am an advocate of pulsed detonation. I believe that in the realm of mega newton output engines , that detonation technology along with the Aerospike as the means to deliver an extremely high frequency output to the ambient medium, will become the new transformative technology , the Aerospike is only half of the breakthrough.. The two technologies that we are discussing is deflagration vs detonation. Deflagration technology exposes to the confining medium a continuous source of energy input , the source of the heating problem! Due to the intermittency of detonarion technology, a detonation engine will inherently operate cooler than a deflagration engine for a given output . A frequency dominated thermodynamic process possess two ideal characteristics variability and a doubling cubing relationship. As you double the frequency of operation you cube the power output. A detonation rocket/Aerispike engine would be the only rocket that could sit and idle at a few pulses per second to the high kilohertz range... Conceivably an engine like this could operate in an inaudible range.

What are the advantages of aerospikes?

[@evanbloom672]

Aerospikes have the advantage of being perfectly expanded at any altitude which basically means its performance is maximized. However this comes at the cost of difficult cooling and manufacturing.

[@yaoblack3579]

@@evanbloom672 okay. THANK YOU. Lay person here. Does that expansion offer more control? Power? Efficiency?

[@dphuntsman]

@@yaoblack3579 Definitely efficiency. Also has a ‘packaging’ advantage, especially for upper atmosphere/space use, in that it’s easier to have several side by side closer together when there aren’t big vacuum nozzles on the end of each one.

[@evanbloom672]

@@yaoblack3579 other guy is right but size is not the main reason. Because the pressure coming out of a conventional rocket nozzle is set by the expansion/size of the nozzle, it outputs a set pressure. And because the pressure at sea level is much higher than in the vacuum of space it can affect the thrust produced by the rocket engine as it is flying upwards towards space. The best performance is achieved when the rocket nozzle exit pressure is equal to the outside pressure because that is where there is zero energy loss (at any other pressure the nozzle expansion is not being fully utilized). In the case of an aerospike, the nozzle is effectively the ambient air which causes the flow to always be perfectly expanded and convert the stored thermal energy of the propellants into the maximum amount of kinetic energy which produces the greatest thrust. So a perfectly expanded flow gives the greatest efficiency, and because an aerospike is always perfectly expanded, that mean you would have to carry less propellant onboard which reduces the overall weight of the launch vehicle and thus lowers your thrust requirements. Although yes size can be a concern if you really need to expand your flow(drop the pressure) that much to have the best performance in vacuum. It can get hard to fit such large nozzles close together but in space, thrust requirements are very low so you would not need many large nozzled-engines in the first place.
