Enjoying this project with a beer in hand 🍺
Hoping you enjoyed the 2L bottle features 😉
I did! Especially the burst test haha
Enjoying this project with the US drinking age in hand
I feel like you’re always in every niche engineering project video comment section haha makes sense I guess
Possibly would be if I was 21 or older, I live in the US
WAKE UP BABE NEW KEGROCKET VIDEO JUST DROPPED
OOOoooo Beer rocket + Meat rocket = SPACE BBQ!
I hope your telemetry electronics is used on this project. It was great seeing you in the footage.
lolll
this is crazy, I watched one of your vids then wanted to see some liquid fuel ones and found this video and comment!
Mister Bisslington in the house 😂
There's something about engineering around arbitrary requirements just because it's fun that I just love!
Having built a air compressor from two kegs welded together. I absolutely strongly endorse making a rocket out of these magical stainless tanks!
Now that's a marine grade air compressor!
A liquor fueled rocket, sounds like the ticket to me!
I don't drink, but I find the serendipity of the beer keg rocket running on ethanol to be hilarious!
I like how I immediately understood why you want less propellant in the tank because it's exactly how the garden sprayer I use to water plants works. As you pump more out there's more gas to pressurize so it runs out slower and pumps the fluid more smoothly. I water my plants by rocket science cool.
Video published right before Star Ship's second flight when a lot of people are searching for 'rocket launch' videos... Well played sir.
“Zoom zoom” is the best engineering requirement
More more more, we want more!
I am rooting so hard for you
Keg stand on launch day mandatory
You can use liquid CO2 to pressurize fuel tank. it's 76 atm at standard temp, wich is compatible with Keg pressure limit. A rubber inner tube can be used to separate CO2 from Fuel and Liquid Oxigen. So you can have constant pressure for all the flight.
COMPLEXITY! COMPLEXITY BAD!
I’m with Tom on holding a beer. This is so cool!
'honey wake up keg rocket posted a new banger
I love channels like yours. This is what CZcams was founded on. It is a shame what is going on with CZcams. Keep up the awesome work and recording it, and sharing it with us all.
LETS GO!!! MEN I TRUST IN INTRO!!!
Whoooooo! Been waiting for an update!
Love it, useing the limitations of your concept as advantages
Von Braun would love this, home-built rockets.
Where are the awesome tee shirts with amazing logos?!?!? How can I possibly enjoy a frosty adult beverage while watching the much anticipated launch episode without wearing some sort of officially licensed "KEG ROCKET" merch? This is exactly why I went back for my MBA after working 5 years as an EE. THE MONEY!!!!
We're working on it, stay tuned!
Just like your 2L bottle demonstration, I experience that same effect in practice using a pump garden sprayer to spray weeds. As the amount of liquid it contains decreases, to a point, the sprayer seems to work better and better.
Exactly!
LETS GOOO!!! KEG ROCKET EP 2!! I have been patiently waiting.
I am indeed enthusiastically watching this project.
7:10 "combussin' chamber" got a very loud snort out of me, well done.
Seems to me that acceleration would help out feeding of fuel, and, at a constant feed rate, acceleration would increase as fuel is burned and overall weight drops off. Secondly, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the tank would increase as the rocket climb, both considerations leading to there not being as much loss of feed rate. Also, to the degree that the feed rate falls off, the pressure in the engine would also drop off, so the back pressure in the fuel lines resisting flow would be less. By the way, the V2 used alcohol (I read 75%) and liquid oxygen.
Really cool project. Have a look at keg CIP systems (how kegs are cleaned). It's pretty much the same as your pressure feed system but on an unmodified keg.
I'm honestly more interested in seeing this thing launch than I am anything SpaceX related these days. Keg on, brothers!
I spent 7 years following a Classic Mini build with a 3-6 month update schedule that was initially expected to take a few months. I'm patient enough to wait for this in your own time.
Thank you for being a reasonable person :)
Here from Project Binky?
I was just wondering about this project while looking at some Guinness kegs at the front of the pub. And bang, update!
No matter how small or how slow, i really wish u guys do weekly updates.. this project is quite interesting
Hahah "Legal Limit" and "Cumbussin' Chamber" are great Easter eggs.
I love that Project Keg-Rocket is doing proper engineering. Gives me hope for humanity.
Been waitin' fer this!!! Suh-weeet!
Can't believe you had to spend that long explaining how the Keggaroo is gonna fly, I mean it's not rocket sci.... oh, wait...
This dude is mark normands doppelganger
Always fun to see Joe in other folks videos
Great update! Really interesting to hear the methodology behind the design.
Best use of kegs ever!
Here's hoping you livestream the launch so we can all shotgun a beer during the countdown.
Ethanol in keg rocket was just a no-brainer, the equal volume fuel/oxydizer is just a cool bonus :D
Love to hear Men I trust in the intro lol
Got the license for cheap 😂
@KegRocket Epic video btw. The airframe looks very finely fabricated 👍
I like how simple your propellant feeding system is. You don't need extra tank for nitrogen and pressure regulators both oxygen and fuel. Not necessary less mass but simple.
Now that I have seen Starship fly, this is my new most anticipated rocket launch to watch. 🤩
This is well on its way of becoming the best DIY rocket series on youtube
I'm fascinated to see how complex the rocket engine is. I am intrigued to know if it will open up the prospect of model rocket full thrust vectoring!
You cannot legally put thrust vectoring on a hobby rocket. That would be a guidance system, which means you made a missile. You would get a very unfriendly visit from the federal government.
I hope you partner with BPS Space for the telemetry electronics.
Exciting update, looking forward to the next, whenever it comes
Kegs have a big Way to go ! Enjoying your enthusiasm to the brim ;)
You guys are absolutely amazing. Let's f* beer launch!
Love the series! Can you send a can of beer on the rocket? That would be the cherry on top❤
Fantastic, can't wait to see work on the engine. My senior design project for my aerospace engineering degree focused on designing a liquid prop engine for a cis-lunar "space tug", i love this kind of stuff.
3:13 "...and boom!" is the rocket engineer's catchphrase. 😁
I love the intro, so simple but so good🤣 cracking a beer now fellas
wow, love love love this series! thank you kegrocket!
Very elegant (simple pretty often is elegant) propulsion system design! ❤️
Great explanation! It would be interesting to hear how you are going to deal with cryogenics - I have heard liquid oxygen can be nasty stuff. Loved the extra scrubbing out of hypergolic fuel!
He's definitely going to want some insulation on the LOX tank.
Love the video and the project idea! 😄 all the the best from New Zealand from an employee at Rocket Lab 🤘
Long live keg rocket,when old dudes say they got rocket fuel in there cup thay mean it ⛽😵🤙
Looking forward to your next installment!
Finally the second video in the tutorial is here.
This is a project worth waiting for new videos. I love this amount of effort and engineering done for fun, makes me want to build stuff again
I really hope the button to initiate the launch sequence is a beer tap lever
The first rockets (German V1 and V2) also used ethanol. They reportedly had problems with storing this liquid. It would often disappear.
I love that you posted this on the eve of the Starship IFT2. I'm in a rocketing mood AND I could use a beer!
Lookin' good, I can't wait for the next episode!
Watching this while me and my mates are half a keg down
can't wait for future videos!
Bro. Nerd to nerd, this is freaking awesome. Cool engineering project, thanks for documenting the process. Very interesting to watch. Keep up the great work!
I am enthusiastically watching this project.
got this randomly recommended... I love it! Waiting for part 3!!!!
This is the most perfect meme build.
Yes, I was really hoping there was going to be another one of these Videos.
this is the first ive seen of these videos i knew id enjoy it but god damn dude i didn't expect the video to be this high quality
Love the project! The experiments are clear for some viewers with low engineering/rocket experience. However, it is fairly intuitive for most viewers I feel like. Would be hyped to see some thrust tests! (Yes I know the engine needs to be built first)
Thanks for explaining your thought process and taking us along for the ride!
Yes, I look forward to seeing you fly some kegs! Please keep updating us when you have time.
Good stuff! Enjoy the journey and thanks for sharing it with us!
As an added bonus, by using LOX/ethanol you're using the same combination that the X-1 did. (Also the V-2)
So happy to see some happy coincidences workingnin your favor. Cant wait to see the rest of the project
Men I Trust - Lauren as intro music took me by happy surprise
so excited for this, such a cool project
Thabks for the update, you've done well at explaining the reasoning/why and such!
And love the bloopers too :D
Very hyped for this project! Looking forward to future developments!
I love everything about this project, and your videos make it so easy to digest the info! So excited to continue to follow project KegRocket. I'm gonna have to come out to see the launch when it happens! 🚀
Excellent project man. I would love to see the airframe design and build as the next episode.
Thank for the update. Love this project.
I already cant wait for the next episode!!
Sounds like this is coming together really well so far :D Nice!
Absolutely phenomenal can’t wait to see it fly
Awesome concept, nice work man.
Thumbs up and hope you get big^^
Respect mate. Great presentation! Love to see how it progresses
Cooling and keeping the LOX cold is going to be....challenging. You're going to need some insulation, not to mention the complete cluster f*k that is dealing with LOX. Cleaning is going to be king, as any dust particle or stray hair provides fuel for the LOX that can be ignited, and it will ignite, LOX always finds a way.
Wisconsin space program looking good
Great video! Looking forward to seeing the engine design and some hot fire tests!
This looks great, can’t wait to see the next video!
I am super-excited to follow this series. Great job going slowly and explaining what you are doing.
I love it that guys like you are able to these completely nuts and off the wall projects so I don’t have to. I am absolutely subscribing to the channel and looking forward to updates whenever real life gets out of the way.
I'm so excited to see more!
Cannot wait till the next video!
Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder! ;)
just found out about it and I’m loving it already!
Loving the videos mate you do a great job of simply explaining concepts and litteral rocket science. I look forward to your next video.
