[@5226-p1e]

I like the idea of this as a propellant, but there might be an even better one, so we have started to understand frequency and how we can use it to lift objects, right now we're only lifting very small objects, but if we were to figure out how to boost that power, we could potentially create crafts of any shape or size that could fly by using frequency generator technology. It sounds science fiction, but we already have something like this that exists now, currently they're using it to piece together building items without touching them using frequency, but I believe that if these frequency generators we're all within a craft pointed in all directions, and focused on each other that we could create liftoff without the need of any other propellant, it's completely without sound to the human ear, the frequencies just too high for us to hear, but we could use it to propel any of our vehicles if the generators are put in the right spots and properly programmed and focused on each other. Anyway, I believe using frequency focused could actually take us much further in space than any other propellant that we've ever used and far faster using far less power in order to achieve on that return.

[@frankierzucekjr]

I agree

[@grn1]

@@5226-p1e I think what you're referring to is a type of sound wave engine. The term frequency is a measure of oscillation (back and forth movements) which could refer to sound/air, electrical current, or what most people think of when the term is mentioned electromagnetic frequencies (which includes low earth EM, radio, infrared, visible light, ultra violet A B and C, X-Rays, and Gamma Rays). The general idea of a sound wave engine has been around for quite a while and there is some merit to them but there's also a lot of factors that make them less practical. Sound waves don't travel in a vacuum, they are made up of a fluid (typically air) that's being moved in a particular way. Sound waves could potentially be used to move in heavy atmospheres like some planets have and/or be used to control a fuel but they can't just push a ship along without some sort of fluid to push against.

[@5226-p1e]

@@grn1 well a wave is pushing the frequency wave correct? so if it's only pushing the wave that it's emmiting, wouldn't that propell objects, and if there were several of them for all directions for a craft, it could push that object right? i have already seen a few videos on this subject, now my terminology is probably off, the applications i have seen are very small scale, but i believe so long as it has a powerfull enough energy source to push out constant vibration or sound waves that is tuned to a frequency that will create lift off, i also believe there would have to be many of these sound emitters in various directions likely needing to be controled through an computer algorithm with machine learning capabilitys to gain the proper method of what will lift the object the best way possible. there is a quote that Nikola Tesla once stated about sound vibration and frequency in this way, but he was also referring to his coil tech extract electricity from the air when this other device was fully connected, at the time he didn't have the tech to use vibration so he couldn't build this craft with the tech of his time, but he had this theory that this is how it would have worked having all the parts and tech at his disposal. but his rival pretty much shut down any hope he ever got of getting anything off the ground because he would have needed the funding to make his ideas to become a reality, it's too bad he wasn't that good of a business man, i know he wanted to help people and provide free electricity to the world and pretty much made his tech at cost only and never wanted more.

[@grn1]

@@5226-p1e The sound wave itself is kinetic energy moving or more accurately transferring through air or some other fluid as it moves away from the actuator/source. The actuator pushes against the atoms of the fluid which sends them flying into other atoms and when they collide they transfer some energy into those atoms and so on and so forth. The sound wave needs a medium to move through unlike electromagnetic waves which are made up of photons and can fly freely through a vacuum. Technically photons have some kinetic energy as well but because of their low (practically non-existent) mass they can't exert much force. In space there is almost no fluid, there's technically some (mostly hydrogen/single protons) but nowhere near enough for sound waves to travel, basically there's nothing for the actuator to push against in space. Sound waves could propel a craft in atmosphere or possibly underwater (might actually work better underwater) but not in space. Normally when you hit air it doesn't have much back force, the force that pushes the vessel away from the atoms it's hitting like someone pushing off against a wall. If you hit the air hard and fast enough though it can act more like a solid wall creating much stronger back forces. Sounds waves may also be able to create cavitation bubbles in water or a similar effect in air to reduce drag though that issue doesn't exist in space. The most promising propulsion technologies for space are nuclear engines and rotating detonation engines (RDEs) which can throw fuel out (creating a back force/propulsion) at faster than sound speeds (much faster than an actuator, which is needed for a sound wave engine, can work). The most likely candidate right now is an RDE, there's been a lot of progress on them but they actually suffer from their success, they are so powerful that they can't be contained for long. If we can overcome the issues of containment they could potentially become more powerful and possibly easier to build rocket engines. Nuclear engines require nuclear reactors (ideally a fusion reactor but fission could also work) which are very problematic due in large part to red tape but also because of the safety concerns with trying to build a reactor in space or send one up from Earth but that may be even harder due to size and weight. To be clear the type of nuclear system needed for a nuclear engine is a completely different beast than the tiny nuclear batteries we've used in the past (which also suffer heavily from red tape and supply issues).

While on the topic of rocketry: My suggestion is to try to make an aluminium fuel cell. I always wondered why Rocket Lab don't use it since it's more energy dense at the same weight, should be much cheaper and they already have oxygen on board, the only downside is that it's single use but they throw away their batteries anyway. So I want to see how challenging it is to make something with aluminium and NOT let it oxidize before you can take the energy out of that reaction.

[@youkofoxy]

Probably easy of supply and "no unknown factors". As they can get a well know LiPo while a aluminium fuel cell... I do now know were you would get one, or even how safe or viable for space travel is. So they would have to make one and make it viable.

[@TravisFabel]

I took one look at the flow reactor they flashed on screen and immediately saw how I can make it out of two plates and a CNC router... Flow the two together over a large surface area so you could pull the heat out of the reaction and then you just thermally regulate the other side of the plates. I would probably use a secondary fluid on the other side of the plates and then regulate the temperature of that fluid That way you just have to pump something through the plates and if something goes wrong you still have fluid there to help control thermals.

Hey Integza, awesome video. I don't know if you are now under contract and whatnot to not make HAN, HIPEP, or GEM...but as a chemist, these are super easy to make. Getting the ratios right in the final composition might be more tricky, but make these is totally doable if you are careful. HAN can be made by mixing hydroxylamine sulfate and barium nitrate (barium sulfate will form and crash out of solution, so just filter the liquid containing the HAN out, just don't dry it fully since its apparently a friction sensitive explosive and decomposes over time as a solid) or hydroxylamine hydrochloride (this is the form I see most commonly in lab settings) and silver nitrate (again, you'll get a precipitate of silver chloride which you can filter out). Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is super common, and GEM is (from a cursory google search) just a mix of HAN, Ammonium nitrate, water, and methanol. The biggest thing to be careful about is that HAN itself is not the most friendly thing, hydroxylamines tend to be fairly toxic, so you just have to make sure you are using good PPE.

[@shipofthesun]

Man, I've been watching this journey from the start, and if you haven't made your perfect rocket quite yet, you have at least gone down some very interesting and entertaining alleys. Good work.

[@therustedmonkie4787]

I love your videos. You bring to light stuff people don't even know about. A freaking solid rocket fuel like that is NUTS!

[@SpacePanda42]

Dude, actually a propellant type I didn't know. So excited 😃

[@jameslmorehead]

I finally got my first working 3D printer. It's an Ender 3 V2 NEO. Nothing special, but it gets me started. I also got a drier box wo go with it to keep 2 rolls of filament in. One that's printing that goes to the printer with a bowden tube. The other is just there for storage. It's very exciting. My first prints are tools for work (I'm a general technician for an R&D firm) and upgrades for the printer. I've added gantry reinforcement brackets that are adjustable, so you can square up the gantry's uprights. Added a belt driven second Z lead screw. I have some ideas for the Y axis, but those are yet to be built. Right now I''m working on upgrading the part cooling by relocating the hotend fan, shrouding it from the part, upgrading the stock fan nozzle, and adding a second part cooling fan without removing or moving the factory metal CLTouch ABL. No one has this mod available, so I'm modeling it myself.

[@AppliedCryogenics]

This is fascinating! Thanks for introducing it to me. It seems that the main complexity of this style of propellant is maintaining the distance between the electrical ignition and the continuously shrinking solid fuel. Wow, I hope the company doesn't get angry about having enough info in a youtube video to recreate their invention.

[@andrewyoung4473]

They don’t care much if someone duplicates it, it is under a patent.

[@sporeut]

Could you do a video about how a 2-stroke engine uses a resonant pulse, standing waves, and harmonics to run? And how changing those properties tunes the engine.

[@WreckedRevival]

From my understanding they're fairly similar to how pulse jet engines operate, kind of and that's a big KIND OF lol. There's a channel called 2 stroke stuffing that touches on the subject a bit in some of his older videos. I know the distance of the expansion portion of the chamber and stinger from the exhaust port has a big effect on how much power the engine delivers relative to RPM, throttle, fuel input etc.. I.e. An expansion portion of the chamber closer to the exhaust outlet typically producing more low RPM torque and HP and further being better for higher RPM power. There's obviously a ton of other variables that effect performance as well, whether it has a reed-less piston-port design, crankcase reeds, or intake port reeds. If it has an exhaust valve which can have different designs being mechanically and/or electrically actuated effectively changing the duration and flow of expelled and resonant exhaust gases . The Intake, exhaust, transfer port timing, and squish band (portion of the upstroke where the air/fuel mixture is compressed partially dictating the static and dynamic compression ratios) ignition timing, fuel type & mixture all have a pretty significant effects on everything also. There's really a lot to unpack on the subject of 2 stroke engine operation and it's all somewhat subjective to the type of two stroke engine and relative variables in play. I'm just a lowly-laymen motorcycle mechanic though so I can't speak as to how exactly the primary/secondary forces, harmonics, and resonant exhaust pulses work as thoroughly as Integza might be able to but hope this helps a little. 😂🤙

[@sporeut]

@@WreckedRevival Thanks, I have a very loose understanding of the science behind it. A friend of mine can actually design intakes and exhausts, I don't understand that. I just thought it would be a beneficial video so people have a better understanding of how ICE's operate.

[@WreckedRevival]

@@sporeut that’s awesome, would be cool to be able to fabricate stuff like that. I definitely agree though, more people having a basic understanding of the fundamentals of engine operation would definitely be beneficial!

How far this channel has come is incredible. I can't wait to see where it is in 6 months. Video idea: paper rocket engine.

Well this is a really fascinating marvel of chemistry. Also lul at this guy encountering the problem of the ATF. Also bonus points to this man for finessing the recipe out of the chemist.

[@King_Duck]

--- video idea----- ---- laser-guided rocket---- Once you have a rocket with movable fins you could put a night vision camera that would see IR light on the front. An infrared laser would be the brightest spot to the camera. With some Vision code you could program the fins to guide the rocket to the brightest spot. This could be used for long range use against tomatoes.

[@UselessZero]

If you develop any sort of terminally guided rocket - you will have an uncomfortable meeting with your local CIA or analog.

[@Misterfloflomovievideo]

"once you have a rocket with movable fins" Huuuuuuuuuuuuge project there to have something that works. In addition to the hardware, you'll need some pretty powerful and hard de develop controllers to guide it well. "Some vision code" probably very hard hard to do correctly. That's not a video idea, that's a multi year project

[@ArsenioDev]

Absolutely NOT, that is how you get terrorism charges or arms manufacturing. That will DEFINITELY have your door kicked in by the feds of some sort ASAP.

[@HunterSentinel]

Ya, these guys seem really helpful, I’m hoping your videos and stuff start opening up opportunities up for them and get them more business.

[@kenneththomas5554]

It's about time the algorithm started offering me something extremely cool like this video. This was the most interesting and thought-provoking video I've watched in some time. As I started watching the video, my first thought was, "why isn't Elon Musk using this propellent?" Then just as quickly that question was answered to some disappointment, but my enthusiasm was then revived with the discussion of GEM. Now I must watch so many more of your videos. Is it possible for you to get aerogel or graphene and do videos on them? I know videos are out there about each, but I am interested in what you would do with them.

[@filonin2]

The reason SpaceX wouldn't use such a fuel is because the rockets going to Mars need to be refueled on Mars and it is a lot easier to make methane and O2 than this stuff.

[@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751]

This channel is one of those that when a new video arrives , I must watch . Joel is a mad scientist teacher .

[@MrVelociraptor75]

As Filonin2 said, SpaceX needed a fuel that could be manufactured on-site (methane), with Mars in mind (but has the added benefit of theoretically becoming greenhouse neutral here - or as close as possible to. Super important considering the number they hope to be launching. Rockets are "dirty", but there's not a significant number launched right now - jet's output dwarfs that of rockets right now) They currently use RP1 ("rocket fuel", specially refined kerosene basically, aka "jet fuel") for their Falcon 9 rockets, but that burns a bit too sooty so isn't viable for "rapid reuse" that they're hoping for with Starship. Hydrogen is also out of the question for reusability (I can't remember the specific reason atm, probably volume - which is it's normal fault) I'm not sure you can actually "do" anything fun with graphene. It's an incredibly weak material to work with (like a spiderweb), it's best use is as a coating for other substances (which is hard enough in a lab) to strengthen and improve their performance afaik

[@JoseFigueroa-h2x]

I always hated science in school because it was not fun and complicated. If I had a teacher with the charisma of this guy and the ease of explaining the prosses I would have love science a lot more...

[@LJGraey]

Would be interesting to see if you could figure out a way to 3D print propellant or oxidizer. That way you could tweak the reaction surface area or reaction speed. No idea how useful it would be, but I'm sure you'll find a way to make it entertaining!

[@TACTICALwaffle2]

I could be wrong but I feel like I remember seeing him try that a few years ago

[@ethanrussell9722]

he did a video on it - its just ASA filamentent used for a hybrid engine

[@xxportalxx.]

I'd imagine you could 3dp the hipep they mention in the vid, considering it's made with pva and that's a commonly used plastic for 3dp supports, it's also mixed from two liquids and then cast so if you couldn't use an fdm printer you might be able to use one of those syringe types. Not sure what the advantage to doing this might be however.

[@chemistryofquestionablequa6252]

You could 3d print rocket candy or apcp propellant.

[@prakharjoshi1861]

Hey! Make a solid propellant rocket with thin ESP layers in between to check if it stops burning the rest of grain. And how does it effects the overall thrust output if we want to burn the whole thing in one go... Hoping this comment reaches you

[@TheDutchSoupPissingCompany]

Integza, this video was even better than your normal ones. THANKS

[@levigillis3475]

Nice work on properly taking your time on explaining the subject, you videos always are very educative! That aside i would love to see your little 3d printed steam engine blow up if you would overdrive it with a slower burning propellant like the sugar mixture! >:)

[@ericp.5533]

I would have liked to see an energy comparison between all of these fuels. Something about energy density and things like that. If you have the time to do so, please c:

[@vincentcamilleri7244]

Gem has an extremely high ISP (specific impulse), but it needs to be noted that it also burns pretty hot... just something to keep in mind.

[@ericgeer9431]

Video idea: Pulse Width Modulate the rocket fuel and see how much control you can apply to thrust. Maybe this could power an RC plane by throttling forward for lift and turn left/right via two separate motors placed strategically on each side of the plane?

[@weatheranddarkness]

Might be interesting for unusual maneuvers, but it's probably better to have control surfaces running on servos for safe flight overall. Perhaps as a control scheme for some sort of missile that makes more sense. Something like the Sprint.

[@TheDustyShredder]

Nile Red-Integza collab is in order I think. Nile red can produce the propellants, integza can produce the rockets. It's the perfect mating.

[@bigdmdiddy]

I'm a huge fan of "aerogels" and their theoretical and practical applications. Using this video, could you explore it's insulative properties as a shroud/protective shell for rockets?

We use aerogel all the time as firewall for race cars, I guess the conditions in rockets are even worse but the industry can justify the price more than us :D

Another amazing video. You make these projects all feel so approachable. Looking forward to next source of propulsion you try to command.

[@ScottyMcCraigles]

Video idea: using the dssp developed solid fuel for rocket boosters, but instead of having them at the scale of a normal booster, use thin long rods of the stuff with baffels and/or gates to prevent a runaway reaction. If you strap enough of these thin rods together in the same diameter as a normal boost, it just might work for liftoff!

[@jaym5602]

I love how informational this is. Sad you didn't make anything but the info was nice. Hopefully you can make a liquid rocket with GEM soon

Topic idea: "How I made a 3D Printed Wind Turbine" I arrived at this suggestion by using Bing-GPT to list all the topics that you have covered to date in order to creatively generate a topic that has not been covered yet, that best matches your overarching theme and would connect best with your audience. I wanted to leave little to chance because I blew my budget on a resin printer only to discover that a good Cartesian printer was what I really needed for my projects.

[@foucaudduportal4415]

I really enjoyed this video on electric solid propellant. It was really interesting to learn about this technology and the potential benefits it offers for rocket engines. Before watching this video, I had no idea that electric solid propellant even existed! I have a suggestion for a future video: have you ever considered covering the use of electromagnetic fields in the combustion chamber as a way to improve efficiency? I think it could be a really interesting topic to explore, particularly in terms of how it might work alongside electric solid propellant. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@Damicske]

Video Idea: You should investigate into the Rutherford engine (electric pump liquid propellant) and the curie engine, which i believe is another monopropellant engine but is still in trade secret. The company is called rocket-lab, I'm pretty sure your familiar with it. Could definitely help us understand the incredible specs of the rocket-labs rockets. Big Fan, keep up the fabulous work!

[@pseudotasuki]

Curie was originally a pressure-fed monopropellant engine, but has since been upgraded to use "green" hypergolic bipropellants. HyperCurie is another variant which is pump-fed (similar to Rutherford) for even better performance.

A very well-shot and edited video. The demonstrations, other footage, interviews etc. I should have subbed a while ago. tbh, I thought I already was. lol Wondering if there was any kind of construction with the solid propellant that could be used in a booster? I know a lot of boosters have a hollow core, so the gasses etc. can escape. Maybe there's a way the HAN gel stuff can be sandwiched between thin metal conductive sheets around a hollow core, and then each "slab" of gel ignited (electrically) in turn? (ElectronAsh patent pending.)

[@ruaine83]

My suggestion would be the emergent Pi competitors. Since you do a lot with uCs and SoCs, a comparison of some of them would be great. There is actually a new competitor coming out soon called Lichee Pi 4A (it's a beautiful PCB too...) but a price hasnt been posted because its still in pre-order status. The thing that draws me to it is that it can come with upwards of 16GB of RAM with a quad core RISC-V proc at 1.8GHz and a dedicated quad core NPU and GPU for AI purposes.

[@No-mq5lw]

Yeah, I actually have a Lichee Pi 4A 16GB, and even now the experience isn't all too great even now but I haven't updated it in a moment. The GPU, AI NPU, encode/decode are off the shelf components from Imagination and their IP subcontractor(s), which aren't exactly known for stellar driver support or documentation. Even now, there's an open source Imagination driver that only supports Vulkan, one GPU, and is allegedly really buggy. I'm sure if I had a Pi4 or 5 I'd have a different opinion on how fast the LPi4a actually is, but the drivers are objectively awful. Also, the LPi4a doesn't have full RPi style GPIO support unless you make a PCB with most of the PC/desktop style features ripped out (e.g. sound, wifi) and whip up a custom device tree to handle that.

Hey not a super innovative video idea. But would you not try to do your own rockets with the different propellants that you show in this video. I think it would be really fun to watch.

[@dominiccaruso7507]

It would be cool to see a small scale version of those quad rocket powered vehicles with its layout configured sort of like an osprey but with two sets of wings one at the front and one at the back. You see this design a lot in futuristic movies so it would be nice to test if it is even possible and feasible. Also I'm new to this channel but this was by far one of my favorite rocket based videos I have seen yet on KZbin.

[@grn1]

The way they are typically depicted (as vehicles capable of leaving and entering Earths atmosphere) would be extremely impractical in atmospheric conditions due to aerodynamic forces. If the ship was only ever going to be in space or was designed with the intent of hovering in place then the shape wouldn't matter to much but the reason rockets are designed the way they are is to minimize drag when trying to escape gravity (which is hard enough to do).

[@thekaxmax]

balancing thrust, esp with home-made rockets, means this is going to flip over. You need very fine and very fast control of thrust and angle to make this work.

[@Ajaguarb]

You should read Ignition by John D Clark. It’s a book on the history of rocket propellants (specifically abt 1930s-1960s). The book is very technical, but it’s really interesting.
