    Imagine having hockey pucks of the stuff you load into a hopper on board a spacecraft. An ignition source like and engine with plumbing around the craft. The material is super stable and posses no threat and could be stored in bulk onboard. Individually wrapped like glow sticks. Reloaded as needed. Or you could have individual propellant igniters around the craft that you load with pre made sticks of the propellant. As you burn through a stick of propellant, you would essentially get a reloadable system for vector thrusting. All very cool stuff. I can imagine systems in place to use such a propellant. I agree this could change space travel.

      I like the idea of this as a propellant, but there might be an even better one, so we have started to understand frequency and how we can use it to lift objects, right now we're only lifting very small objects, but if we were to figure out how to boost that power, we could potentially create crafts of any shape or size that could fly by using frequency generator technology.
      It sounds science fiction, but we already have something like this that exists now, currently they're using it to piece together building items without touching them using frequency, but I believe that if these frequency generators we're all within a craft pointed in all directions, and focused on each other that we could create liftoff without the need of any other propellant, it's completely without sound to the human ear, the frequencies just too high for us to hear, but we could use it to propel any of our vehicles if the generators are put in the right spots and properly programmed and focused on each other.
      Anyway, I believe using frequency focused could actually take us much further in space than any other propellant that we've ever used and far faster using far less power in order to achieve on that return.

      @@user-tp5yb4hr4w I think what you're referring to is a type of sound wave engine. The term frequency is a measure of oscillation (back and forth movements) which could refer to sound/air, electrical current, or what most people think of when the term is mentioned electromagnetic frequencies (which includes low earth EM, radio, infrared, visible light, ultra violet A B and C, X-Rays, and Gamma Rays). The general idea of a sound wave engine has been around for quite a while and there is some merit to them but there's also a lot of factors that make them less practical. Sound waves don't travel in a vacuum, they are made up of a fluid (typically air) that's being moved in a particular way. Sound waves could potentially be used to move in heavy atmospheres like some planets have and/or be used to control a fuel but they can't just push a ship along without some sort of fluid to push against.

      well a wave is pushing the frequency wave correct?
      so if it's only pushing the wave that it's emmiting, wouldn't that propell objects, and if there were several of them for all directions for a craft, it could push that object right?
      i have already seen a few videos on this subject, now my terminology is probably off, the applications i have seen are very small scale, but i believe so long as it has a powerfull enough energy source to push out constant vibration or sound waves that is tuned to a frequency that will create lift off, i also believe there would have to be many of these sound emitters in various directions likely needing to be controled through an computer algorithm with machine learning capabilitys to gain the proper method of what will lift the object the best way possible.
      there is a quote that Nikola Tesla once stated about sound vibration and frequency in this way, but he was also referring to his coil tech extract electricity from the air when this other device was fully connected, at the time he didn't have the tech to use vibration so he couldn't build this craft with the tech of his time, but he had this theory that this is how it would have worked having all the parts and tech at his disposal.
      but his rival pretty much shut down any hope he ever got of getting anything off the ground because he would have needed the funding to make his ideas to become a reality, it's too bad he wasn't that good of a business man, i know he wanted to help people and provide free electricity to the world and pretty much made his tech at cost only and never wanted more.

      @grn1 Před 7 měsíci

      @@user-tp5yb4hr4w The sound wave itself is kinetic energy moving or more accurately transferring through air or some other fluid as it moves away from the actuator/source. The actuator pushes against the atoms of the fluid which sends them flying into other atoms and when they collide they transfer some energy into those atoms and so on and so forth. The sound wave needs a medium to move through unlike electromagnetic waves which are made up of photons and can fly freely through a vacuum. Technically photons have some kinetic energy as well but because of their low (practically non-existent) mass they can't exert much force. In space there is almost no fluid, there's technically some (mostly hydrogen/single protons) but nowhere near enough for sound waves to travel, basically there's nothing for the actuator to push against in space.
      Sound waves could propel a craft in atmosphere or possibly underwater (might actually work better underwater) but not in space. Normally when you hit air it doesn't have much back force, the force that pushes the vessel away from the atoms it's hitting like someone pushing off against a wall. If you hit the air hard and fast enough though it can act more like a solid wall creating much stronger back forces. Sounds waves may also be able to create cavitation bubbles in water or a similar effect in air to reduce drag though that issue doesn't exist in space.
      The most promising propulsion technologies for space are nuclear engines and rotating detonation engines (RDEs) which can throw fuel out (creating a back force/propulsion) at faster than sound speeds (much faster than an actuator, which is needed for a sound wave engine, can work). The most likely candidate right now is an RDE, there's been a lot of progress on them but they actually suffer from their success, they are so powerful that they can't be contained for long. If we can overcome the issues of containment they could potentially become more powerful and possibly easier to build rocket engines. Nuclear engines require nuclear reactors (ideally a fusion reactor but fission could also work) which are very problematic due in large part to red tape but also because of the safety concerns with trying to build a reactor in space or send one up from Earth but that may be even harder due to size and weight. To be clear the type of nuclear system needed for a nuclear engine is a completely different beast than the tiny nuclear batteries we've used in the past (which also suffer heavily from red tape and supply issues).

Flow the two together over a large surface area so you could pull the heat out of the reaction and then you just thermally regulate the other side of the plates.
      I would probably use a secondary fluid on the other side of the plates and then regulate the temperature of that fluid That way you just have to pump something through the plates and if something goes wrong you still have fluid there to help control thermals.

    While on the topic of rocketry: My suggestion is to try to make an aluminium fuel cell.
    I always wondered why Rocket Lab don't use it since it's more energy dense at the same weight, should be much cheaper and they already have oxygen on board, the only downside is that it's single use but they throw away their batteries anyway.
    So I want to see how challenging it is to make something with aluminium and NOT let it oxidize before you can take the energy out of that reaction.

    Hey Integza, awesome video. I don't know if you are now under contract and whatnot to not make HAN, HIPEP, or GEM...but as a chemist, these are super easy to make. Getting the ratios right in the final composition might be more tricky, but make these is totally doable if you are careful. HAN can be made by mixing hydroxylamine sulfate and barium nitrate (barium sulfate will form and crash out of solution, so just filter the liquid containing the HAN out, just don't dry it fully since its apparently a friction sensitive explosive and decomposes over time as a solid) or hydroxylamine hydrochloride (this is the form I see most commonly in lab settings) and silver nitrate (again, you'll get a precipitate of silver chloride which you can filter out). Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is super common, and GEM is (from a cursory google search) just a mix of HAN, Ammonium nitrate, water, and methanol. The biggest thing to be careful about is that HAN itself is not the most friendly thing, hydroxylamines tend to be fairly toxic, so you just have to make sure you are using good PPE.

    • @WreckedRevival
      @WreckedRevival Před rokem +2

      From my understanding they're fairly similar to how pulse jet engines operate, kind of and that's a big KIND OF lol. There's a channel called 2 stroke stuffing that touches on the subject a bit in some of his older videos. I know the distance of the expansion portion of the chamber and stinger from the exhaust port has a big effect on how much power the engine delivers relative to RPM, throttle, fuel input etc.. I.e. An expansion portion of the chamber closer to the exhaust outlet typically producing more low RPM torque and HP and further being better for higher RPM power.
      There's obviously a ton of other variables that effect performance as well, whether it has a reed-less piston-port design, crankcase reeds, or intake port reeds. If it has an exhaust valve which can have different designs being mechanically and/or electrically actuated effectively changing the duration and flow of expelled and resonant exhaust gases . The Intake, exhaust, transfer port timing, and squish band (portion of the upstroke where the air/fuel mixture is compressed partially dictating the static and dynamic compression ratios) ignition timing, fuel type & mixture all have a pretty significant effects on everything also. There's really a lot to unpack on the subject of 2 stroke engine operation and it's all somewhat subjective to the type of two stroke engine and relative variables in play.
      I'm just a lowly-laymen motorcycle mechanic though so I can't speak as to how exactly the primary/secondary forces, harmonics, and resonant exhaust pulses work as thoroughly as Integza might be able to but hope this helps a little. 😂🤙

    Oh... oh my god, you are right the potential for this kind of system is huge, I mean the power of a solid rocket motor but to be able to have it on/off at the flip of a switch, that could even be applied to aircraft since it takes a current to burn and not actual fire, Imagine emergency stops or a thruster that could immediately stop a spin. The amount of people you could save in general aviation is actually pretty high. You could even do a video on that, build an RC with a scaled down thruster and see if you could get it into an unrecoverable spin, and then use the thruster to avert it. Show how quickly it could be turned on and off without damaging the airframe. Depending on the thruster design it could be placed either on a wing tip or on the tail. whichever would be best to avoid unnecessary structural strain because you don't want to break the plane while trying to save it. I think they've done stuff like that before, but it usually means having dangerous material on the plane, while this stuff looks like it stores a lot safer compared to a Solid Rocket Motor. I don't know but it might be a connection that hasn't been made yet with that material.

    Ya, these guys seem really helpful, I’m hoping your videos and stuff start opening up opportunities up for them and get them more business.

    can you do a video on the squib itself? how the electrodes are arranged? How does the end of the squib end and after multiple shots, how does it terminate? ie do you have to cut it back? It almost looks like the black tube in your hand is shrink wrap tubing.... with a red and black wire coming out of the bottom! GREAT video. Thanks

    It's about time the algorithm started offering me something extremely cool like this video. This was the most interesting and thought-provoking video I've watched in some time. As I started watching the video, my first thought was, "why isn't Elon Musk using this propellent?" Then just as quickly that question was answered to some disappointment, but my enthusiasm was then revived with the discussion of GEM.
    Now I must watch so many more of your videos. Is it possible for you to get aerogel or graphene and do videos on them? I know videos are out there about each, but I am interested in what you would do with them.

      The reason SpaceX wouldn't use such a fuel is because the rockets going to Mars need to be refueled on Mars and it is a lot easier to make methane and O2 than this stuff.

      This channel is one of those that when a new video arrives , I must watch . Joel is a mad scientist teacher .

      As Filonin2 said, SpaceX needed a fuel that could be manufactured on-site (methane), with Mars in mind (but has the added benefit of theoretically becoming greenhouse neutral here - or as close as possible to. Super important considering the number they hope to be launching. Rockets are "dirty", but there's not a significant number launched right now - jet's output dwarfs that of rockets right now)
      They currently use RP1 ("rocket fuel", specially refined kerosene basically, aka "jet fuel") for their Falcon 9 rockets, but that burns a bit too sooty so isn't viable for "rapid reuse" that they're hoping for with Starship. Hydrogen is also out of the question for reusability (I can't remember the specific reason atm, probably volume - which is it's normal fault)
      I'm not sure you can actually "do" anything fun with graphene. It's an incredibly weak material to work with (like a spiderweb), it's best use is as a coating for other substances (which is hard enough in a lab) to strengthen and improve their performance afaik

    Hey not a super innovative video idea. But would you not try to do your own rockets with the different propellants that you show in this video. I think it would be really fun to watch.

    I like how you have test subjects just hanging around to participate in your experiments. lol. Was that your little sister? lol. Seriously though, this material looks amazing. Solid propellant electrically activated. Game changer, for sure. Another great video. Top shelf. Cheers.

    I would have liked to see an energy comparison between all of these fuels. Something about energy density and things like that. If you have the time to do so, please c:

      Gem has an extremely high ISP (specific impulse), but it needs to be noted that it also burns pretty hot... just something to keep in mind.

    All your videos are great! One thing I’ve always wanted to do is to travel in outer space. Sadly it’s extremely unlikely to happen but I can dream

  • @robynesarahcorcoran4716

    Thank you so much for your video! I am learning so much. Please can you make a video on FUSION. Explaining it, where you see the downfalls are, what you think is the most possible today

    Would be interesting to see if you could figure out a way to 3D print propellant or oxidizer. That way you could tweak the reaction surface area or reaction speed. No idea how useful it would be, but I'm sure you'll find a way to make it entertaining!

      I'd imagine you could 3dp the hipep they mention in the vid, considering it's made with pva and that's a commonly used plastic for 3dp supports, it's also mixed from two liquids and then cast so if you couldn't use an fdm printer you might be able to use one of those syringe types. Not sure what the advantage to doing this might be however.

      You could 3d print rocket candy or apcp propellant.

    Love it, would like to see something including Hydrogen since it is easily made and not a huge resource, basically renewable. Great video!

    Make a video containing a competition for the best rocket design. Not the engine, just the outer rocket. Then make one and launch it. Love the channel, keep up the great work.❤

  • @texasslingleadsomtingwong8751

    Dude, your collaboration with this company was perfection . GEM sounds incredible, I need more info .
