Student-Built 9,000lbs (40kN) Rocket Engine - Space Concordia

Показать описание

SC Rocketry is proud to announce the successful double firing of Starsailor's flight engine Stewart! The Stewart engine still holds the world record for the most powerful liquid rocket engine ever built and tested by a university team with a whopping 40kN of thrust.

For those of you who are interested, we have an 8x slowmotion of TWO hotfires available here:

As part of the Launch Canada competition in Timmins, Ontario, SCRD test fired their engine TWICE for 10 seconds each! This is the longest run time the team has ever performed. This is a major step towards obtaining launch authorization from Transport Canada, as tests like these provide us with the data required to properly model Starsailor's flight path.

We would like to extend a massive thank you to the organizations who made this possible. Thank you to Launch Canada for hosting us at the competition, thank you to the incredible firefighters from Mattagami First Nation who took time out of their day to ensure our tests went well, and thank you especially to each and every member of the SC Rocketry team, without which none of this would have happened!

Looks great team and extra thanks to Mr. Skeleton whose atomization has really put a smile on my face today.

Hearing "Fire!" before combustion began cracked me up! I'm too used to SpaceX's launch sequence 😂
Congratulations on the test, I hope you gathered the data you were looking for

A perfect way to build enthusiasm for understanding rocket science. Imagine their pride when they first create Mach Diamonds. Great show. Wonderful sound. Space soon!

Well it happened. A forty second video where I actually wish there was a 5 minute intro explaining the project, the history of the people involved, and how skillshare can change my life.
At least you showed the best part of this project: A giant flaming jet.

what i find really interesting is looking at the vapor/smoke in the lower left of the engine. when the engine fires, the exhaust flow seems to suck the smoke, even though it is not in the way of the flow

It sounded like the turbopump made some noise and then the flow was greatly reduced? Brilliant work, amateur rocketry is going to put a postdoc in orbit one of these days.

Any data on the thrust produced? Quite impressive!

What is your nozzle made out of? What tipe of cooling system are you using, ablative layer of materials? I assume your engine is running at very high temperatures. I'm the propulsion leader of a undergraduate team that build rockets for events like Latin American Space Challenge and Spaceport America Cup. I'm interested to know more about your engine project if it's not a problem for you.

By the way, congrats for the static test!

Welp, that skeleton didn't stand a chance!
Y'all have any tips on getting into this student/hobbyist part of the industry? I've been looking to be a part of it for awhile.
