😱 the pressure waves through the steam!!

the soound is just so satisfying!

a great sign of progress!!!!

Those clouds of steam from the deluged fire look so much more wholesome than the volcanic smoke from the unmitigated fire.

Nice. Thanks

Just awesome!!!

The comparison we always needed without knowing that we needed it. It really puts perspective on the amount of dirt/dust/debris that was being thrown around by the old setup.

The condensation gasses being sucked down during the fire is amazing.

I "watched" this hooked up to my surround sound, volume cranked up, without actually looking at the screen.....and yes there is a definite difference between the two....without the water system, there is an insane amount of crackle and sharpness from the engines and the honk on shut down....the SF WITH water, .as short as it was, the water system muffled all that sharpness .... an the slo-mo shot of the steam absorbing the shock waves....PHENOMENAL !!!! Thanks for the comparison!!!

the slowmo was incredible with the deluge. Thanks EA

I'm rooting for Starship if for no other reason than it's supposed to be providing lunar landers for Artemis. Also, I really want to see Tim go around the moon.

Beautiful

Very nice.

Thank you waiting for the new vid

I suspect they will continue to have debris until they actually do a flame diverter. Probably have to lose a few more rockets before Musk gives in though.

The deluge system is amazing! I can’t wait to see what Happens when the raptors ignite at full power again.

The shockwaves ripping through the steam was awesome

I would like to see a plot of pressure over time in the engine, the shockwaves give the appearance of high spikes rather than the smooth combustion I would expect. Very interesting footage.

Really love that final "whooping" sound the Raptors make just before shut down. Ace

That was quick but cool

WOW! In the slow mo with the water you can actually see the shockwave of the engines firing up as it goes through the vapor cloud! Very cool….or HOT!

I think the deluge system needs more pressure. In the slo-mo, the thrust cuts off, then it takes a second or so and only then you start seeing water fountains again. That looks to me like the overpressure from the engines basically blew the water back into the deluge system, causing the pad to fall dry.

@@johnbowman476 possibly. Otherwise, they'll have to increase the pressure to 350 bar or so... I think they need a pressure sensor in the center of the pad and check what they actually need. I suspect it's much more than the pressure from a single raptor, since the outer engines already create a high pressure zone and the exhaust from the inner ones can't escape...

Deluge hardly ruffled the grass, barely an inconvenience. I am definitely Team Full Pressure Deluge. So Tim, get those T-shirts into the merchandise shop!

Gives a whole new meaning to “flash boiler”. 😏

So very much tamed with the steam production - this works very well! Spacex should be v happy!

Una delicia... tus videos estan en otro nivel.

The thing that really hit me hard when the dry pad launch was clearly a no-go, was the prospect of the rocket using the same stage to lift off from the moon without something keeping regolith from being kicked back up at the engines. single-stage landing and liftoff is going to require moon-side equipment or something like the Apollo lander lower section to be that regolith protection for liftoff. more work in the end for a moon mission or other planet mission. Even getting into the infinite-fuel realms of SciFi, makes the landing gear and underside of the USCSS Nostromo being so robust, a requirement, unlike some flimsy struts and gear in other SciFi shows. Also if you look at the Nostromo, the engines point outward to push the stuff away from the ship when firing, which also makes them just a bit more inefficient, and that gets back to the "infinite-fuel realms" issues.

You need the suppression system to cut down the sound, shock wave and control the blast. And it's great for clearing out your sinuses!

Loving the new Fountain of Thrust 🚀

Love the side by side. Quite the difference. Maybe next launch Tim's gear will get a steam bath instead of dirt shower

1:57 i repit this moment Of the video 100 Time just to hear an see how powerfull the booster 😍

Neat how long it takes for the deluge system to stop oscillating. I'm sure that could be improved but 5 - 10 seconds seems fine enough.

I was 8 years old when Apollo landed on the moon. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen and will never forget the experience. At the time I was sure that a human Mars mission would be right around the corner......but....no one seemed interested for years until all the amazing aerospace programs in the last few years...Starship is so cool....So I'm 62, what are my chances of living to see someone land on Mars?

The difference in sound is very interesting

Did you boost the bass on the slow motion test? My subwoofers had everything on the walls rattling like crazy 😅

There are still bits and pieces flying around even with the deluge system. Really curious what an actual launch will look like in comparison.

i think the shockwaves show the staggered start of the engines. two waves are clearly to see.

Hi Tim, do you have comparison of sound strength in DB in both cases?

@thomasgoodwin2648

9 ай бұрын

Have to be careful with those kinds of comparisons. Only makes sense is the data is recorded from the same location and with the same setup both times, since I believe acoustic energy dissipates at a rate of roughly 1/(distance ^ 4). Any deviations would render the subsequent sbs comparison null and void. Awesome thought though, and given how neurotic these types of journalistic endeavors usually are, it wouldn't surprise me if the setups WERE in fact identical, so who knows? Only the TIM knows.

Why is something so dangerous so beautfiul? Almost hypnotic to watch the Steam bloom

I really can’t see what difference this water deluge will make to the pad! The pressured water shooting up will get hit and forced back down by the more intense pressure of the raptor exhaust. Basically forcing the water back down the pipelines.

@_PatrickO

9 ай бұрын

The water shoots out at a steep side angle, not up. The point of the water is to push out exhaust gasses away from the center, cool the steel plate, and reduce noise. The comment elon made about the water needing to be a higher pressure than the thrust is what you were talking about. If the water isn't a higher pressure than the exhaust, it can't exit and instead, exhaust would be forced back into the water system. That isn't going to happen unless something goes wrong with the water pressurization system.

@michaeldeierhoi4096

In addition to that last comment the outward trajectory of the deluge is meant to deflect the raptor plume outward so that it doesn't impact the plate directly. CSI Starbase did a recent deep dive into how the deluge works which is well worth a look.

Seems like they started the water a second or so too soon and some was wasted having already fallen to the ground before the flame front blasted forth. Since they need basically 10 seconds of water flow for a launch either they need more water (tanks) or adjust the timing

You could steam a lot of crab, shrimp, etc. with a setup like that.

Could you please find flaws in an idea I have for Starship. Why doesn’t Spacex line the two rocket chambers with rubber bladders. As the propellant flows out, the bags would collapse keeping the fluids relatively compacted, eliminating the issue of trying to spin the rocket to get the fuel to flow to the jets. If we don’t have a material that can withstand the extreme cold, then wouldn’t it be a great area to start doing research on? With the Spacex engineers, it seems that the only thing impossible is the things not though of yet. If you need a basis, I saw an episode of Dirty jobs, where they were pulling a bladder out of a wing of a C38 that had sprung a leak. If jets can use bladders, why can’t rockets? If the fluids were contained in a bladder, then as the bladder compresses, clean usable space increases. This could be turned into livable space if Starship or the boosters were to be used as a space station. If you can’t contain the liquids in the bladder, how about filling a bladder with compressed air to push the fluids into a smaller area? As the bladder expands, that space could potentially be used as a livable space. possibly even installing a Bigelow inflatable module inside the starship fuel cavity greatly expanding the livable space Astronauts would have directly as after launch.
