The earth is flat and actually Satan has taken credit for the ball earth thing actually.
The fact that you explain the mathematics/science behind(formulas) made me a fan. I’ve been looking for depth, basically, more than regurgitation of articles I’ve already read. Thank you, work is very much appreciated!
As a note, a little bit more in depth explanations of the math/formula and orgo/chem would be the ultimate!
if he goes further deep in explanation he might lose general audience which will butcher the view number, like, share, viewing time etc. then even geeks like you couldnt meet with his future videos due to algorithmic favoritism of simple videos over complex ones.
Good idea for patreon content or something though
I don't think there is a better way to explain this with non-engineers... I kept up mostly, and learned a number of things! Thanks!
The first parts of this didn't sound too crazy compared to some of the other videos you've done, but the longer the video went on, it was like we were descending further into the depths of engineering madness. Astronomy is indeed insane.
I think this wonderful madness started with the Mars rovers being lowered onto the surface - we learned that the outside-the-box solutions are turning out to somehow actually work. What a mind-opening time for space nerds! It may be engineering madness, but if it works, I guess it wasn't madness after all, right?
1. Crazy rover drops on Mars.
2. Insane JWT engineering with hundreds of single points of failure .... that didn't fail.
3. Parker Probe going in at less than 5% of the distance from Earth to Sun.
I'm starting to think fusion is gonna happen.
The small details that took literal centuries for humanity to discover and perfect to this point is what was mind blowing to me. Niobium wire insulated by sapphire sounds so simple.. yet also sounds like science fiction.
I feel like Carbon foam and Niobium C-103 alloy could be the subject of entire Real Engineering videos. How do we even get to that point?

Carbon foam i dont know, but Niobium c-103 is likely something someone put together because they were curious or an engineer needed something for a high temperature project, and the material scientists took materials that were known to be able to perform well under high temps. Material science is a well developed study field, go look into it if you're curious, as even some simple looking steel materials have insane backgrounds.
@@FierceFire14 Exactly, the new knife super steel Magnacut developed by Dr. Larrin Thomas, a metallurgist has 2.00% of Niobium along with 4.00% of Vanadium are aggressive carbide formers with Vanadium being the hardest carbide metal known, and Niobium is right behind it being as hard as tungsten carbide. It is in several PM or particle metal knives. In Magnacut it keeps the Chromium from forming its brittle carbides.
Scientific progress works kind of like baloon. We build up pressure with a ton of research over the years that shows clearly what we know, what we don't and what is in demand. Then when the pressure is enough usually one science team makes a breakthrough and gets a lot of credit. But in reality when such breakthrough becomes possible, who exactly does it becomes more a matter of chance rather than particular scientist's genius. All science is important. Except the fake one.
@@gigakoresh The biases of many scientists I've noticed over the years of working in the aerospace field also holds back science as well. Especially in biology.

The amount of math needed to get that many gravity assists out of Venus is insane
As a guy with an 8th grade math education, and barely passed that, the equation showed on screen is so impressive to me, because I know absolute zero about what is being discussed, I really do look up to people who’s brains are able to decipher and understand it…. At times I’ve actually looked up videos on here of people solving hard math because it’s just so outlandish to me….. having zero idea what is being done to solve it is just so impressive to me
@@bobbertee5945I think when people get to that level it’s just like learning a language. They’re comfortable with all the components that make up the equations like words in a language and have probably solved stuff that “complex” to us so many times that they’ve already done all the hard thinking about it when learning. I’m sure there are many things you’re capable of doing which would look impressive to the uninitiated just in the same way you described looking at those people solving complex math

Could you take a look at the engineering and applications of sodium ion batteries? I’ve been hearing about them for grid storage, but I would love to hear your analysis.
Been hearing about sodium batteries for many years, haven't seen much progress in the news so I'm really interested in seeing what I've been missing. I hope he makes a video on the topic too
For grid storage you have plenty of options for a battery. For example you can simply suspend a weight in the air and move it up and down based on demand and supply. That’s pretty much a gravity battery and would work well for grid storage. We already use pumped hydro as a sort of battery in many places in the world so grid storage isn’t as big of a problem as it seems. The bigger problem is batteries for trucks, or other heavy equipment since you have way more constraints in such an application.
@@harsimranbansal5355 easier said than done, though. You should definitely watch his video on pumped hydro

@@capturedflame efficiency of lead acid batteries is absolutely shit
17:09 They have recently generated more energy than the energy used to start the fusion reaction. It's funny, 10 months ago they probably thought that it would take 50-100 years to achieve that
They didn’t really. The fusion reaction created 1/50th of the “total” power it used to do the experiment. What your referring to is that it produced more energy than it required for the lasers to start the reaction, but that doesn’t account for all of the other power losses in the system. Do a little more research on it and you’ll find we were a little mislead on that break through. We still are very very far away.
@@ChristopherGuilday This is true. The net energy of the lasers was 2.05mW. However due to the inefficiency of lasers they probably consumed a 100mW+ to produce those lasers. However, what happened was a big milestone and it's only a matter of time until fusion experiments get increased funding and are able to accelerate their progress.
What really matter is the amount of money going on vs amount of money out. Nuclear fussion doesn't even need to generate more energy out than in to be profitable, if you can produce and sell something else.
@Christopher Jannette not when 1500% is required
No, they didn't. You're just very susceptible to US New Cold War propaganda.

Small nitpick. While Falcon Heavy is the highest payload to orbit currently available, Delta IV Heavy has higher interplanetary payload because of its significantly more efficient upper stage
do correct me but i thought the upper stage is interchangeable?
@@aronseptianto8142 Upper stages are exclusive to the launch vehicle except for a few special cases. Falcon Heavy has a kerosone and liquid oxygen upper stage which is efficient and cost effective for lower earth orbits. Delta IV Heavy's upper stage is a liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen upper stage. This is expensive and not very efficient for lower orbits but it's much better for high orbits and interplanetary missions.
Parker solar probe needed as much velocity as it could possibly get from launch in order to make the mission work. Falcon Heavy may be "more powerful" but Delta IV Heavy was able to provide more velocity to the probe, which is why it was used.
@@aronseptianto8142 You are correct but they are rarely booster agnostic. The efficiency of the Delta upper stage is mostly lent by its hydrogen engine which has far higher exhaust velocity than kerolox. To do the same, SX has to design their own hydrogen upper stage which I don't see in the near future. Oncee Superheavy is operational however, you can pretty much bolt in any upper stage into it, lol. No need for specialized adapters. Just chuck it into the payload bay, hehe. (With some nuance of course)
@@fcgHenden how would staging even be done in a super heavy kind of rocket?
would it do the explosive charge but sideway?
@@aronseptianto8142 The second stage is starship itself, superheavy being the first stage. If you wanted to add a third stage for some reason into the payload bay of starship you could, I'd imagine. It would probably either use compressed springs to launch the payload out of the bay or I could even see a world where a similar sort of roll/yaw maneuver is used to have the payload eject itself, similar to how starlink satellites are deployed. In all likelihood however, one would probably just use starships second stage for these trips instead of a dedicated 3rd stage.
Some clarification of what "temperature" means in different contexts is probably needed. When you say the temperature is "only" 3000ºC at the surface of the sun but over 500000ºC in the corona, a clarification is in order because temperature has a completely different meaning than what most people would expect when talking about mostly empty space. That is, the corona has a "high temperature" but a "low heat content" due to it being mostly empty space - a thermometer placed there would *not* show hundreds of thousands of degrees. Otherwise the later part of the video, where you mention they use materials like tungsten that have a melting point of 3400ºC would make no sense.
In particular, you mention they can get about 3500ºC with the concave mirrors at the Odellio Solar Furnace for testing, and that such temperature is *twice* what the heat shield is expected to encounter...
Yeah that would have been worth explaining cuz as is it's confusing, thanks
So empty space is hotter? But also confusing was the cooling by water of solar panels 13:14 , wouldn't that be vapor, since water vaporizes at 100ºC?
@@edwardsl8016 What they mean is that the temperature of any particle is far higher, but your odds of encountering them are far lower. That means the thermal density is, on net, lower than at lower altitudes where the temperature is nominally lower.
As for cooling, a carefully designed system could keep water from boiling by virtue of not giving it anywhere _to_ boil(though I doubt it's actually pure water).
@@edwardsl8016 No, the equipment being hotter than water boiling temperature is not necessarily a problem.
If you circulate the water quickly and if you choose materials in the heat exchanger carefully so it provides enough heat transfer to cool the equipment but not heat the water too quickly, the water can circulate back in the shielded area before it boils.
As long as the water keeps moving, it won't reach high enough temperature to boil over.
Or they could just use steam as heat transfer medium rather than liquid water, that should work just fine as well.
so I can feel heat here on earth but space isn't warm.. makes sense
It's crazy how much knowledge you can gain by making such a channel. Brian , you 're a legend
India's Aditya L1 mission was launched to lagrange L1 point with similar objectives. This is a great opportunity for ISRO and NASA to share and compile data.
Hi, great video! A few points to clarify on the fusion side. The ‘able to produce 70% of the input energy’ is a little inaccurate. The plasma produces, in the form of heat, 70% of the power heating it. However, that isn’t 70% of the input electrical power. There are efficiency losses between the electrical power fed to the heating systems and the amount of heating power that actually heats the plasma. Likewise, the power produced is in the form of heat, not electricity, and you need to produce a fair bit more heat to compensate for efficiency losses when producing electricity. ITER will not be hooked up to a system to generate electricity from heat. The next reactor that is planned after ITER is DEMO, which is supposed to produce electricity. The UKs STEP reactor is an electricity producing demonstration device scheduled for completion in 2040. Also, ITER will not really be finished in 2025. That’s the first stage, where they can test when they have assembled so far with realtively low performance plasmas. If all looks good they will continue with assembly. The next (thermal) energy producing ITER operations will use a deuterium-tritium fuel mix and aren’t scheduled until around 2035. Even then, no electricity will be produced. DEMO is being designed currently and won’t be online (assuming it ever gets approved) until at least 2050. Many private fusion companies have popped up over the last decade that aim to have electricity producing demonstrator devices in the early 2030s. The faster pace of private companies is a result of incorporating new technologies that either allow the reactors to be built smaller and hence much more quickly, or have some novel approach. Some such technologies weren't around when ITER was being designed, another drawback to the long time it has taken to construct it. The reason ITER is taking so long is, among many other factors, due to its immense size. When it comes to tokamak fusion reactors, building bigger does move you toward more fusion relevant conditions in your plasma, but at the cost of the devices taking longer to be built. New technologies have emerged since ITER started construction, which enable the magnetic field strength of the fusion reactor to be much larger. This also moves the reactor toward more fusion relevant conditions, without having to make it enormously large. Hence you can build such devices much quicker. Hope this was informative! Great video as always.
Do you think ITER will be irrelevant by the time they are ready for deuterium fueled experiments?
Thank you, I didn't have to write up basically the same thing.
Though I have very strong doubts about every single novel fusion startup as non of them are willing to show accurate simulations of how their system is supposed to work.
I hope their investors at least are getting a more behind the scenes look instead of buying into snake oil.
I found this video very informative on the topic: czcams.com/video/LJ4W1g-6JiY/video.html
My key takeaway: It's about Q, the ratio between power out / power in. We want Q > 1 to harvest energy.
We hear numbers like Q = 0.7 like here, but that's misleading. Because there is more than one Q! What ultimately matters is Qtotal, which divides the total amount of electricity gained by all the power needed to run the facility (including cooling, machinery, and whatnot). What's often reportet is a different Q, for example Qplasma. Yes, we might get the plasma to return 70% of the energy we put in, and that's great, but that number ignores cooling and other processes which might consume vastly more energy than the plasma itself. And conversion losses, as you say. The relevant Qtotal is still at or below 0.1 afaik.
Great summary!
Basically you have given "The current State of Fusion research" all in one CZcams comment. I would only like to add one important point on why it takes so long to build ITER:
The project, actually dating back to the Reagan presidency (!), was set up to be scientifically profitable to all participating nations. That's why all construction work that could be distributed to different nations was split up that way. In the end, every ITER partner was supposed to have learned everything necessary to build the thing all over again by themselves should they want to.
Now take this horribly inefficient distribution that was intentional and add the seemingly unavoidable mismanagement every great project seems to suffer from and you've got one of the main reasons why ITER is delayed by decades and costs billions more than was originally projected.
Wasn't the record 10% a decade and a half ago, though?
This is the thing I love about exploration, especially when people say, why are we doing this. Not only is it giving us interesting information, but it makes us invent new technology which may just come in useful in every day life in ways we can’t even imagine yet.
And to invent said tech, we need to train people to think and design, who later can teach others how to think about such things and design better.
They act like money and time that goes into space exploration just goes into the void. We can use tech we put into space exploration for uses here in Earth, plus the money goes to people here on Earth
@@SgtPotShot nah shut the hell up you don’t how money is even run in real life 💀💀💀 u needa burst of your bubble

@@SgtPotShot I mean, we all still profit from GPS and so on on satellite images on earth. Some day we might need to get rid of an approaching asteroid and we’ll be happy we have the technology to do so

If anyone was wondering why Parker was flown on a Delta IV Heavy instead of a Falcon Heavy, the Delta Cryogenic Second Stage is a hydrolox stage with a RL-10 engine. The Falcon Heavy uses a kerolox Merlin stage. Rockets have different metrics, so calling one 'most powerful' is a big dishonest. Essentially, the hydrolox stage has a greater throw weight over long distance. FH can lift more to LEO than DIVH, but when you are talking interplanetary missions FH starts to lose out

This is true for a (partially) reusable Falcon Heavy launch, but a fully expendable Falcon Heavy can still send more mass than the Delta IV Heavy in high dV missions even though it is less efficient.
Plus there is the fact that Delta is more reliable. Falcon heavy is very new rocket, so if you want to put a 10 billion dollar telescope that launch cost doesn't even make a dent.
@@Tim_88524 Expendable FH may _technically_ be capable of a mission like this, but SpaceX will likely never fly FH in that format. They only have 6 or so boosters around these days, they rely on reuse to maintain launch cadence. And that also doesn't take into account the Solid third stage which has never been done on a Falcon family rocket but has been done multiple times on the Delta IV family.
There are other factors but they are complex and multi-faceted

We just need to send more probes to Uranus.
Humans, as a species, are really good at throwing things with accuracy.
We have come up with lots of throwing alternatives to give us more speed, power, distance...such as a long sticks which are used to launch another object (spear. Lacrosse ball. Hockey puck. Etc.)
Tension based launchers that can be used to hurl an object (bows and slingshots)
I like to think of rockets and just one version of explosion-powered throwing. And with some of these we can adjust the throw "midair" now.
We just have to crunch some math to make sure our "throw" is right, because we have reached such ridiculous proportions in our range.
gets even better when mathematical equations are added ...precision
When you consider the insanely complicated maths involved in throwing something accurately given distance, height, wind, movement of the thrower, movement of the recipient etc, it makes just being able to throw a ball to your friend as you're walking down the street a really impressive thing. Throwing that ball to accurately be captured by the gravity of two object 1000s of km away is great but still, throw a ball to your friend and you've pretty much nailed it when considering you haven't fired up a computer to do it for you.

thank you KSP for teaching me the basics of orbital mechanics that nowadays provide me with background knowledge to understand parts of this video quite easily. Thank you HarvesteR, and the rest of the team. S2
i wholly agree. ksp also did a lot for my understanding of the concept of raising orbit, differing planes etc
KSP has done wonders for demystifying a lot of rocket science even slightly and as a fellow space enthusiast whose father works in the industry and whose late grandfather worked for NASA for many years, it makes me very excited that space is returning to the purview of the masses.
I’m a new KSP player and rendezvouses are the worst thing ever
@@RedNumber19 i finally learned them, specially from Scott Manley, he has lots of tuts, also many other ksp youtubers, once you understand what you are trying to do physically, it'll be a breeze, i felt quite awkward myself after realizing that it was not that hard, but instead i was representing it wrongly in my head.
@@RedNumber19 they're not that hard, you just didn't get it. That's fine, everyone has to go through it.
Very informative and exciting to watch well done NASA quite an achievement.
Awesome video! Thanks for this!!
Aphelion is pronounced app-hee-lee-on as opposed to ay-fee-lee-on.
The helion part remains the same just the ap and peri change.
That's good to know.

Came here to say the same thing. Aphelion is the apoapsis for the sun (Helios), apogee for the Earth (Gaia), and apocynthion/apolune/apselene for the Moon (ouch).
It could have just been the Irish accent breaking through... :^)
Heard of accents?
How gorgeous your video format is boggles my mind! The video is so well-written, shot and edited. Keep it up, your work matters!
The sun is kind of a mood to be honest, impossibly hot in the surrounding area, but on the surface it's nice and warm; only those few willing to wether and break through the exterior layer will get to experience how pleasant the interior really is

The earth is flat and Satan has taken credit for the ball earth thing actually.
I am a layman but I would guess that the reason the surface is colder than atmosphere is because some force or pressure is higher inside and/or at the surface forcing energetic particles out faster which then slow down after exiting the sun, and as such have more time to radiate heat into the area around the sun as they are moving slower. I'm thinking similar to airflow over a curved surface
No.
by far the most interesting video i seen this year.
I very much appreciate the education you provide in your videos!

I was very proud to hear that you chose Ultramet as your source of carbon foam refractory materials for the heat shield. I started my career in chemistry in 1996 at Ultramet (however it was a sister company initially operating in the facility in Sun Valley CA).

what an excellent video
Years spent playing Kerbal was really worth it
This is so amazingly difficult that it should be impossible. Congratulations to the team that made this possible!
It is impossible! Just like the idea the earth is a spinning ball hurling through infinite outer space chasing the sun! The earth does not move, it is fixed in place. The sun is not a ball of fire. It’s time to wake up and see the truth. Earth is flat with contour. There is absolutely zero measurable curvature.
Yep. Still reckon they should've done it in winter when the sun is cool lol.

9:18 Loving the heat shield though. With a few of those we can pick up glider landing for cargo ships into orbit again.
No need to break speed, just let the heat shield handle it.
This sort of content is really important IMHO - to keep people hopeful and optimistic at a time when so many things point at potential disaster (anti-fact conspiracy theories and politicians, spreading violence, climate change, etc)
This mission was badass since the start when Delta IV lit itself on fire as a tribute and got even crazier from there. Can't wait for the next passes and what data the probe delivers.

Temperature is a very abstract concept. Especially at such low densities.
Yep, given the densities of the corona i'd bet a block of ice at its melting point has more internal energy, since the density of the corona iirc was in the order of 10^-9 gcm^3
The earth is flat and actually Satan has taken credit for the ball earth thing actually.
@@kevinkarlwurzelgaruti458 Temperature is the measurement of energy transferred from one mass to another.
And the total amount of energy transferred depends on how much mass there is, with higher energy, to transfer to the lower energy mass.
For example:
If you drop a grain of sand from 100 mts. high on your head, you won't even feel it.
If you drop a block of 100kg of concrete from 100 mts. high on your head, it will kill you.
Both the grain of sand and the block start with the SAME energy LEVEL (like saying they start with the same temperature level). But the block has WAY more energy MASS that will transfer to you.
So, more density means more total amount of energy available to affect the lower energy mass.
Now, in the corona of the sun, the energy mostly comes from radiation. The radiation density is VERY high.
And the particle density is very low.
That's why simply hiding behind a heat shield (which is a bad name, it's actually a radiation shield) is enough to protect the ship. Because there is no mass around it that carries any energy. And rays only go straight, and don't bend around the shield.
If there were a substantial amount of mass, it would go around the shield and transfer a lot of energy in a very short time, enough to raise the energy level of the ship's mass, to a point were it would break or melt.
There is mass in the corona, but it is very little (low density) so the total amount of energy transferred to the ship is small, and it doesn't raise the ship's energy too much.
@@gdxd7956 Very well said, thanks for the explanation.
It’s so cool how hot the sun can be even when it’s winter!
I had no idea the probe operates that close to the sun. I thought it was much further away. That is one hell of accomplishment.
I usually don't have the attention span required for a 20 min YT video. Not this time. What an excellent job!
I agree, this was so fascinating, I was mesmerized by the bright scientific minds behind it.
Great video with great information. And the narration is perfect for speeding up to 2X to save time. I'm really excited about this kind of heat deflection technology and sun approaching probes. It's one step closer to star lifting, something that could, if we crack it, could pave the way for space bases and solar collection mega structures.
(I just realized that the plans of most orbital solar collectors rely on setting up mercury and mining it out to get material, but if we can start star lifting before that, it would save a lot of time and resources.)
Starting to understand the "aw' in awesome.
This is a huge, interesting mission for me. Especially it's closest approach. Speeds near 1/2 a million miles/hr are predicted. That is
amazing. Makes all other spacecraft launches and their speeds a laughable thing in comparison. Note: Looking forward to the "Sundiver: Telescope" the fastest telescope in history (1 million miles per hour + ) heading to the Sun's gravitation lense. And 1000's of au's beyond!!!
At maximum speed it could cross the entire island of Britain in about 3 seconds

The atmosphere of the Sun being the hottest part could be due to the fact solar flares and radiation are launched up so the atmosphere gets more heating than the "surface" as the heat giving out by the core of the Sun dissipates as it moves up so the "surface" is not actually that hot.
Absolutely stunning stuff, as per usual. Easily one of the most interesting, best curated channel on the scientific side of CZcams.

Amazing video, thank you.
Amazing technology! Amazing achievement!
The engineering behind this probe is trully amazing. Great achievement!
Nothing was achieved, except deception
Please do a video on small nuclear reactors, especially thorium reactors. Excellent content, as always!
the real weird thing about orbital mechanics is the parker solar probe is both the fastest travelling satellite we have sent out and it is the slowest to orbit the sun, so from a solar perspective it is the slowest, while being the fastest thing to move, like the more energy you put into something the slower it moves relative to the star as you get further and further away, voyager 1 and 2 are technically the fastest we have made something move yet they move the slowest around the sun
I love having a theory on the universe that explains the process.
This is beyond fascinating. I remember when they offered "The hot ticket" back in 2018. Time flies.
I always heard this joke that if someone wants to land at the Sun, they must do it at night. NASA took it personally and launched the probe at night 5:17.
They must have heard your joke, the NSA probably read it off someone's Gmail.

Great informative video
That solar furnace looks amazing! I want to see a video on that! Great video.
Me too, I didn't even know it existed until now.
Great video as always. I have just one issue with it: you said the process of changing the altitude of apoapsis or periapsis was named a Hohmann transfer. This is not true. A Hohmann transfer is the combination of two of the maneuvers you described, performed with the goal of elevating or lowering the orbital altitude as a whole. i.e. going from a 450km(Apoapsis) x 400km(Periapsis) orbit to a 1200km x 1100km orbit could be achieved via Hohmann transfer, going from a 450km x 400km orbit to a 450km x 800km orbit could not, as that can be done in one maneuver. The defining characteristic of a Hohmann transfer is that it consists of two maneuvers, done sequentially at opposite points in the orbit, both of which are either prograde or retrograde.
The face I made when I heard the word “Niobium” for the first time 😂 This is an amazing video dude
This is so unbelievably cool. What a time to be alive and witness such things. Icarus would be jealous.
