Naaah. It was just that the industry was risk averse because of monopoly government contracts and stockholders that insist on immediate return on investment. Now that SpaceX has unleashed the venture capitalists, look how many little companies are developing their own rocket engines. Many are every bit as innovative as SpaceX. Stoke Space is one. They are developing full flow staged combustion engines with deep throttle capability and marrying them into a ring aerospike design around a heat shield for a fully reusable design for first AND SECOND stages of their vehicle. It's all about unleashing the money.

Yeah, I don’t know about that. My father was head of NASA’s Spacesuit Reliability Division back in the Apollo and STS days. Spacesuits are no joke. Very high end technology. They use materials that us ordinary humans have no access to. He once brought an Apollo era spacesuit home with some of the proprietary materials. It was interesting to see. The point is though, a spacesuit has to be proven to be successful. It has to be perfect. The tests they run on spacesuits are incredibly harsh. From extended exposure to +- 250° F to +- -250° in a matter of seconds. There are several companies who are attempting to win that sweet NASA contract money. NASA isn’t going to give out the contract to SpaceX unless they deserve it, (unlike the near treasonous underhand deal that the traitor Kathy Lueders made with HLS. A rocket that uses 33 engines and has yet NOT to blow up, kinda like the Soviet N1, huh? Blue Origin should have received that contract.) Human lives are at stake and no fancy spacesuit is going to win because Elon thinks it will look cool. We’ll see.

In general the over-hyped misstatements are a product of the narrator's ignorance of rocket engine history. These designers still stand on the shoulders of decades of work over a wide variety of approaches with all of the lessons learned (mostly) available as guidance. The incremental improvements and rebalancing have produced an excellent engine. From this we can conclude that Elon Musk is a super genius who should run the whole world.

6:53 Correction, SpaceX were certainly not the first to use methalox as a propelant (they are the first at the scale of Starship). At the very least, NASA's Project Morpheus is a precursor for both propulsive landing and for use of methalox. RS-16 and RD-0169 are also methalox engines that predate SpaceX's Raptor. The Full Flow engine however is indeed a world first by SpaceX AFAIK.
This is a most excellent video! It is simple and visual and has enough detail that an engineer such as myself who appreciates science but does not know that much about rocket technology can appreciate what is going on at SpaceX!

The Merlin 1D represents what could be done with the available time and money at the time, but that doesn't mean it didn't have a demanding and specific mission requirement. SpaceX rocket design starts with the goal of lowest possible cost of payload to low Earth orbit. This requirement trumps everything else. The consequence is that you find yourself with a set of artificial "musts", because otherwise there's no point in doing it at all. So the question is not so much if it's "possible", but *_how_* it can be possible. What enters into this process is that you must reuse as much of the rocket as possible. What eventually comes out of it, is a two-stage rocket, without solid-fuel boosters, a single rocket fuel that must be not hydrogen, and not hypergolic. A rather small rocket engine that need a very high thrust to weight ratio, must be throttleable, and must be a mass-production item. The Raptor is a product of the exact same process, only this time there are no compromises involving time and money. And it has to be the extremest thing possible, because otherwise it would not reach the required thrust to weight ratio with the methane fuel, nor would it reach the required thrust per nozzle area. Its thrust-performance for a first stage is a must, and reaching that with methane as fuel is not easy. Which is why ULA Vulcan is effectively a three-stage rocket with its solid-fuel boosters.

The throat is actually where the gas hits supersonic speed. Normally a narrowing the opening like in jet engines would accelerate the gas because of Bernoulli's principal. However at supersonic speed that works backwards.
Actually Raptor originally was designed as a hidrolox engine, they switched to methane for economic reasons. As well as the rest of the industry.
One quick correction. Raptor doesn’t require stage 0 spin start support. We see all stage 2 raptors start in flight and we see a number of stage 1 raptors restart in flight
@BagelmanSupreme
10 күн бұрын
This is true, but it requires fuel and some special engineering to spin them up, and you can only do that a limited number of times depending on mission parameters. So yes, the starship booster COULD do its own spinprime at launch (and does when landing), but stage zero still does this as an integral part of the launch process, reducing the number of restarts the booster needs to be able to accomplish solo by 1
@sauceboss1846

@@BagelmanSupremeyou both are right and wrong. The outer 20 engines have no ability to relight so they rely on stage zero start them up while the inner 13 gimbal engines have the ability to spin up multiple times during flight so they aren’t hooked into stage zero like the 20 Outer
Nice video, but the Raptor is not the first engine to use two turbines. The space shuttle's RS-25 engines have two fuel rich preburners and turbines. The Raptor is, however, the first full flow staged combustion cycle engine to actually fly, although others have been tested.

The key to super-high pressure is the CLOSED system in which a portion of the high pressure combustion product goes back to drive the booster pumps. Not an open system. This technology came from the abandoned USSR rocket engines that Ellon used.
16:40 - The starship cannot "connect the solar system", when it needs dozens of (yet to be demonstrated) refuelings to even reach the Moon. Raptor is a great engine. However: - It is still woefully unreliable; improving its reliability will be a monumental challenge. - The design goal was, of course, not to design "the most complex engine", but the one with the greatest specific impulse, as small and light as possible. It was only possible through this complex cycle. -This is not the first time that full flow staged combustion cycle was tried (but it is the first such engine that actually flew.) - Other people use methane; there are at least two other methalox engines that already successfully launched actual payload into orbit - Making a video on SpaceX engine development and not even mentioning Tom Mueller is absurd.

Raptor reliability seems great. As far as we know, it's been perfect for IFT-2 and IFT-3. There have been some failed engine relights, but it seems unrelated to the engines themselves, rather being the result of sloshing, ullage collapse, blockages in the propellant supply or the like. And maximizing specific impulse clearly wasn't the primary goal. They've been increaseing the throat diameter for new versions, increasing thrust but reducing specific impulse. I think their objective was something along the lines of: - Make an engine that is as cheap as possible per ton of thrust, while being reusable without a need for refurbishment, and only requiring propellants/consumables that are readily available on Mars. The goal can be tweaked a bit more, but it pretty much results in the Raptor engine. You want methalox, autogeneous pressurization and torch igniters for Mars. You want full flow staged combustion for ease of reuse and a high amount of thrust relative to dry mass/cost.

“Simple and cheap”. Sure sounds fitting!
I don't think your explanation is correct. The pre-burners drives the turbo-pumps by cumbusting some fuel, yes, and the exhaust of the pre-burners is gas that enters the main chamber somewhere... But most of the fuel is still being pumped around the nozzle bell and into the main combustion chamber as liquids, not as a gas. The pre-burners will not be sending their exhausts through the same system as the main burner, the fuel rich likely going closer to the combustion chamber walls, and the oxygen rich more centered.

Raptor has under delivered so far. Even at plus 300 psi it performed significantly less than what it was supposed to. Also it's definitely not a re-invention. It's a combination of predominantly Russian rockettechnology and advances in metallurgy. Imho the simplest engine on the market these days is the one from rocketlab and proven to run after dipping in saltwater
Because it is a modular based cluster cell design . So even engine failed you can keep it operational by isolating damaged cells. in this case power out put will be reduced but by the percentage you can figure out list how many motors can provide you enough thrust to keep you safe during a malfunction. Star-link in future will orbit the moon as well.
