My favorite thing besides the sound is watching the frost on the engine quickly disappear after ignition. You can even see the two lines going from the pumps warm up just before ignition too 👌 very nice

[Carstuff]

I swear, rocket engines make some of the most wicked noises.

[DETH_ADDR]

People dont understand how much engineering goes into these engines. It is truly so impressive and amazing

[kurtkoch]

You can see the subsonic envelope flow laminarly dragging ambient air into a transition layer! Excellent camera work and wet tunnel control of the exhaust! My hats off to all three sciences involved.

[bossng]

Even rocket engines have RGB lights now.

The turbo pumps on the space shuttle made 150, 000hp on their own! - this is engineering beyond all imagination. Fantastic.

[mtlassen]

I miss standing ¼ mile from the shuttle engine tests at Aerojet in Folsom CA. Just one going off made your eyes go fuzzy, and feel it in every cell in your body. Amazing.

[anthonytidey]

Just amazing.
Controlling the components that make up the thrust and extreem temperature, just one thing goes wrong and gane over.

[rhsking]

Crazy we can engineer something to go from cryogenic temperatures to temperatures near that of the sun in just seconds.

[MKJ]

Sound of the 2 pipes during startup shutdown sounds just amazing

[MrShaundarch]

Dad says there's only one thing he likes more than the serenity and that's a 2 stroke motor at full throttle.

[hell_knorren]

Props to spacex for getting so far in just a few years. Its very impresive what they've done so far.

[cpunut]

I like watching the turbo pump exhausts at ignition and shutdown. They spin up so quickly! 🚀

[thinkingthing]

Beautiful methane flame. Future vehicles are going to look amazing

[fixanypc]

gotta love the characteristic green plume of triethylborane to hypergolicly ignite the fuel and oxidizer mix

[ToufikToufik-qegw]

And thank you Master, thank you very much. There you go, I explained to you even I need I am doing a project, I am a business. I did a project for a car that worked with a sun panel, they didn't accept why.

[eins.wanderer]

you can hear the turbo pumps sucking in air at the end. Also at the beginning where it spins up

Без вопросов! Высшая ступень инженерии! К сожалению подобные двигатели совместного сгорания где присутствуют минимум 2 вещества например кислород и водород, являются контрапродуктивными для наших целей, где коэффициент полезного действия очень и очень ограничен. Тоже много думал как бы всё это улучшить? На данный момент именно процесс сгорания 2ух и более веществ даёт соответствующий эффект отталкиваня. Вот бы ещё добавить ко всему этому больше массы, то есть если бы именно на выходе из сопла при взаимодействии и вступлении в реакцию одного и другого вещества, масса их увеличивалась хотя-бы чуть чуть. Эффект был бы потрясающий! Вопрос как это сделать?! Ответ есть просто пока мы его не знаем, пока. Или кто знает как искривить пространство? Увеличить Массу и укоротить Время, может быть? Для лучшего эффекта. Вращать Призму по определённой траектории при определённом электромагнитном излучении? Кто знает пожалуйста подскажите.

[rogerroth]

The pumps are small rocket engines that drive the fuel and oxydizer turbines. It is a tricky dance I understand.

[chrisculhane]

Rocket engines are amazing. The level of power is mind blowing. The turbo pumps feeding the fuel have like 30 to 40k horsepower never mind the actual engine
