The Rocket: Solid and Liquid Propellant Motors

[@roybot8002]

This is the best explanation ever. It is an old video but explained it better than anyone could today.

[@cowboybob7093]

2:18 is wrong 3:03 is where the thrust is generated. They call it a thrust chamber for a reason. Those hot gasses keep expanding and accelerating, providing thrust, until there is no acceleration left and the hot thrust gasses become exhaust gasses.

best basic explanation of a solid rocket i could find on youtube. love it!

[@zapfanzapfan]

1947, that is really old school. For anyone interested I recommend the book "Ignition" by John D Clark, a kind of memoir of liquid propellant development written around 1970.

[@animationspace8550]

I read it! Great book!

It's frikking hilarious; the whole defence sector rocketry research was the wild west from 1940 to 1970

I absolutely agree with Thomas S., that this is by far, THE best explanation of how SRM's operate. This is an excellent primer...wish there was something that had updated graphics that explained this.

"Rarefied atmosphere of outerspace !" Wow what an intuition. Just now hearing this word

[@godfreecharlie]

More videos like this one would be nice. The presentation, narration, graphics are all straight forward unpretentious and knowledgeable. Love it. I'm surprised that no mention of hydrazine was made considering it's widespread use. Great video in all respects, thanks so much.

[@williamchamberlain2263]

Would hydrazine still have been classified/restricted at that point in time

[@activelow9297]

Don't feel bad if you don't understand it... this is literally rocket science!

I like these old military flicks

Excellent upload! :)

Excellent!

Super super information..I love it thanks great work.. fantástica información me encanta mil gracias por compartir muy buen trabajo

Solid punch!

Very informative

13:25 How is the fuel and oxidizer mix ignited in the combustion chamber for liquid prop motors?

[@user-po6hn9id1t]

changenoways dieseling, and started by various means

[@SarlCaganGuy]

Hypergolic propellants don't require ignition

[@zapfanzapfan]

Soyuz uses more or less a giant match sticking into the thrust chambers from below. Some use a kind of spark plug ignition inside the chamber.

[@godfreecharlie]

Scott Manley's KZbin channel has a great video answering that question. Yes, a big matchstick is one crazy method. I'm to lazy and sleepy at 05:30 to post the link here but you can find it quite easily.

[@user-nh3xg4hn3z]

What is the size of the nozzle diameter relative to the size of the engine diameter?

[@user-nh3xg4hn3z]

i can send in low orbit rocket with..steam!!! very easy und under dollar pro kilo! cost of the rocket?? nothing! no moving parts!!!

[@surya1350150]

guys why can't we use nuclear fuel in rocket

[@user-po6hn9id1t]

Hota Sandilya nerva

[@aons5481]

Hota Sandilya low thrust

[@zapfanzapfan]

Look up project Orion. And of course NERVA and project Rover. There were also some ideas of using a nuclear powered ram-jet to make a mach 3 cruise missile with more or less infinite range. Scary shit.

Honestly! The biggest lie in this set of lies is at 15:15!

[@cranemann25]

frame missing?

[@TerryBadger]

Lamar White I calculate there are several frames missing. And entirely 'now proven wrong' concept.

[@TerryBadger]

Lamar White Liquid Oxy must be stored in Thermos containers, which he had JUST SAID seconds before. The Fuel Tank 213 on the Ascent Module was not such a container.

[@TerryBadger]

I paid for it, you bought it ... get over it!
