WARNING - LOUD!
Gav plops down the high speed camera next to a rocket engine with 45,000lbs of thrust and the results are epic. Big thanks to Firefly for allowing us to film at their facility and BBC Click for letting us use their behind the scenes footage from the day.

The pulsing at start-up is a good example of why starting a rocket engine is so hard, it is very easy to end up in feedback loops that result in the engine either exploding or the flame dying out.

@Ergzay 10 ай бұрын

Yeah the pulsing at start-up is actually evidence that they haven't really finished tuning the engine at this point yet (at the time it was filmed). It means there's still combustion instability.

@fighteer1 10 ай бұрын

@@ErgzayI’m not completely sure that’s true. Reaver uses the tap-off cycle, meaning a portion of the exhaust from the main combustion chamber is diverted to power the turbine that drives the pumps. Starting up the engine would involve a series of transients, not a linear increase in power. Reavers have flown several times now so they no longer count as developmental, but I’m sure there’s still room for improvement.

@@dougaltolan3017 I have no intimate knowledge of how this engine works; I’m speaking from general knowledge. But that’s not a totally inaccurate way to think about it. Imagine the engine pushing the pump, which pushes the engine, which pushes the pump, ad infinitum. Since the forces aren’t delivered instantly, there must be a disequilibrium until the engine stabilizes.

Very cool! That resonance during the startup transient was awesome to see (if not a little scary)! Love seeing the TEA-TEB shot leading into the full propellent mixture in slow motion. Also, the tap-off cycle is "simple" and elegant, but it's a challenging cycle to start since the propellent flow is directly coupled to the pressure in the thrust chamber. In other words, the flow downstream is what creates the flow upstream in the first place. So the resonance leading to those waves at the beginning is most likely due to the time it takes the valves on the tap-off to move in order to modulate pressure into the pumps along with the fact the pressure is constantly changing. I would be very curious to see the same footage shot in five years when Firefly have optimized the Reever even more.
