By far the best diamonds Ive seen by any enthusiat out there. Sweet!
-
blue flames from RP-1? that's hot! No really, that's hot af
-
The parts were 3-d printed in a copper alloy, and held together after that test firing. I am impressed.

WOW. I didn't know you could get pure blue mach diamonds on a kerolox engine. You can see them faintly on the very end of an RD 180 plume, but you always have that yellow blackbody stuff nearest the nozzle. I've only ever seen this on kerosene/peroxide engines. FUUUCCK YEAH
-
That looks absolutely gorgeous!!
-
Great job!
-
That's absolutely beautiful! Brilliant work and precision!
-
At some point, the diamonds look like a F22 Raptor. Absolute beauty!!
-
Omg it look like a mini raptor engine lol
-
oh yeah baby! I have seen some of your other vids on other places but those were older.. now your cooking! Love it..carry on!!!
-
Pretty!
-
Amazing shock dimonds, can you suggest me which equation you used for design a nozzle?
-
Beutiful!!!!!
-
awesome, congrats
-
Those mach diamonds are really nice
-
At first, I thought that the engine actually runs on methane. and you misunderstood that it uses rp-1 and then I found out that it's launcher's official channel so it can't be wrong
-
What improvements did you have to make to get to these high c* efficiency values?
-
That one kid in the lobby:
-
very good cooling system

Used to watch A3 J's from Sanford NAS fly over the pasture and kick in everything. Multiple rings like B-58. Yeah, it was a German rocket that hit space fueled on lox and alcohol. This is an interesting site, comprehensive and informative. Ceramic superstructure and nozzles might allow neat specific impulse? Bucky balls plastics?
