Hot Water Rocket / Steam Rocket - World Record Attempt

Some technical details of the rocket and its engine:
- 1000 g water
- titanium pressure tank (wall thickness 0,7 mm)
- tie beam construction
- nozzle diamater 4,0 mm
- structure: epoxy-class resin
- to be continued...
Caution! This is not a guide to rebuilding. The construction requires special technical and physical understanding! Handling hot water and pressure vessels can cause serious injuries! Don't do it at home!

That's very cool! Looks like a very well engineered project. What was the dry weight of the rocket?

@hydrogen4046 2 жыл бұрын

Hey guys from AIR COMMAND ROCKETS. I am honored to have the first comment from you! You also have very exciting projects. It's a shame it's a bit far away to watch. The dry weight of the rocket is about 1,5 - 2,0 kg. That depends on the parachute and payload configuration. However, the absolute minimum is about 1,5 kg.

400 N*s from 1 kg of water...so your specific impulse is approximately 41s, right? Or did i do my math wrong? Also, are you blasting out superheated liquid, or do you have some sort of inverted-siphon tube that only allows gas phase out? Anyway, awesome build.

Great work...the best engineered and simple design I have seen on KZfaq. I cannot wait to see HydroGen 3.

That's a really well put together system, I like it! Is the max pressure 50 bar? I'm thinking that charging the tank with nitrogen to get the pressure higher would increase performance, so long as the pressure can be safely contained. Unless the goal is to use steam pressure only of course...

It had a dome jet stream or something upper atmosphere by looking at the trajectory. It is not the earth motion that fast but the Jetstream block all rocket from normal flight even airplane

I would have been much more dismissive of the video in the feed except for Mytg Busters. Their episode on hot water heaters was crazy. I have built model rockets that didn't go as high as the water heater did. Really cool steam rocket. Scary power stored in that thing.

@RWBHere 2 жыл бұрын

Brilliant! A few points: Cold water rockets have reached higher than 900 metres. Can you use H2O2 with KMnO4 as a catalyst? Technically, it would still be a hot water rocket, because steam and pressurised Oxygen are generated. Is there any power/weight advantage to using that method? The text at the end of the video is illegible on a tablet or phone, and would be much more effective if it was higher contrast, such as white on black, or black on white. Thank-you for the excellent video. Best wishes with your future launches. 🚀🙂👍

I've been testing hot water rockets, main advantages are : low pressures as the gas volume is maintained by temperature very easy to manufacture, the fuel is inert so safe for taking on public transport, scale-able don't cost much regardless of size, Disadvantages: seriously limited by high temperature material properties. (aluminium strength is about half by 400' centigrade) (plastic and composites fail even valve seals start to melt) small water rocket win due to super light low temperature composites, but they don't scale well.

50Bar that is a lot. why only 400N thrust? can be temperature right? Onraptor is 300Bar at 1600ºC and give 2000kN(2tonne of thrust).

@potatosalad68 2 жыл бұрын

The size difference...

@RWBHere 2 жыл бұрын

The Raptor engine runs at 1500°C hotter, burns very energy dense fuel in liquid Oxygen and has a very much bigger combustion chamber, nozzle and bell than this rocket. Other than those tiny differences, it's essentially the same idea: Throw as much mass out of the back end of the rocket as fast as possible.

What if you had spring loaded fins and fired the rocket out of a 20’ or 30’ gun barrel (Steel pipe) vacuum on the barrel then add 400 psi air cannon under the rocket...put a cable in the barrel to release the rocket motor 4’ from the end of the barrel...should give you a great height... I would try just the barrel first, then the vacuum barrel then add the air pressure underneath...
