- I Ignite a SRB Rocket Motor in a vacuum chamber in slow motion to Challenge Newtons Third Law of motion.
Do newtons laws of motion apply in a Vacuum?.
If we get a reaction and the rocket motor produces thrust while in a vacuum then we know Newtons 3rd Law applies regardless of the presence of an atmosphere and many of the theories can be put to rest.

Here's a quandary for anyone who believes rockets don't work in space. Say you're in space and you're just floating. You're wearing a spacesuit and holding a basketball. You then decide to throw the basketball. Does the basketball move? If not, what's stopping it? If it does move, do you move the other way? If you do, then that's how rockets work in space. If you don't move, then why are you so different from the basketball in this physical interaction?
The "rocket propulsion deniers" will agree that physics works when applied to a solid object like in your example. What you CANNOT convince them of is that GAS will behave the same way. They REFUSE to believe that each gas molecule behaves EXACTLY as the basketball and induces recoil to anything that accelerates it.
They believe this because they think the "vacuum of space" will PULL Gas molecules from the rocket, but they dont realize the "vacuum of space" DOES NOT PULL ON ANYTHING.
@@stuartgray5877 them we just have to whack them on the nose with a newspaper and say "no" sternly until they learn to behave.
If people are going to be selective with their use of the laws of motion then they can fuck off.
@@stevencurtis7157 they usually deny gravity is real as well. So there is that.🔨
@@cory5797 Not sure that really affects rocket exhaust, but if they can deny one demonstrable physical phenomenon, they can deny any.
So after the first basketball was pushed away from you....and pushing it away from you would feel weird because there would be no additional resistance from space, unlike being on the basketball court, where the atmosphere offers resistance to the basketballs movement as you push it away......
So pushing the basketball away from you in space is easily done. You push it away it offered very little weight resistance and flew away fast and kept going. You on the other hand may have felt a slight backlash from doing that, and lets say that amount of kickback made you move 1mph in the opposite direction, as the basketball is moving 30mph away from you not slowing down at all....so neither are you.....so now you are moving 1mph in the opposite direction away from the basketball while it moves away from you. Well what happens when you go to use another basketball now to make yourself speed up from 1mph to 2mph?
Since you are now moving at a constant velocity of 1mph away from the direction you plan on pushing the next basketball away from you, it's the same as being on the basketball court, and walking backwards while you simultaneously try to pass the basketball someone in front of you as you are walking backwards away from them.
Now pushing that basketball away from you doesn't have as much kick as the first time you did it....now pushing it away from you with the exact same amount of force doesn't make it move 30 miles per hour away from you...it's slower now because you are constantly moving the other direction. Pretty soon it doesn't do any good to push basketballs away from you, because you can't push them away fast enough to do anything now....You are moving at a constant velocity so you have to push the basketball away at least that velocity or it won't offer any resistance, and will no longer provide any thrust for you. this is exactly rockets do NOT work in space.
One problem with this test! The second the rocket gases began to fill the chamber, you lost your vaccume and created an atmosphere.
@Spot
So??? That does not replicate a non-atmosphearic environment!
The vacuum would be progressively lost not instantly
And we don't question how do they navigate their rockets in a vacuum. BS

@dar'man beskar Ordo I'm suggesting only (and I don't believe the earth is flat also I'm not an astronaut pilot physicist or mathematician) that if you take a step back and clear your mind of any previously held notions, there is ALOT wrong with why it is 2019 with the technologies and we have almost no actual untainted PHOTOGRAPHS of the planet Earth...the shot showing half the earth illuminated from the moon is from 71 I think...the rest of the images, the blue marble images the images of earth that was in my grade school text book are ALL COMPOSITE IMAGES...all the planets are the same. Ally life I was under the impression that when I saw the picture if Saturn in front of me that it was a photograph of Saturn from a telescope..that's not the case. I'm rambling. My point is all of this flat Earth stuff is because of NASA's Shannigans...why did we have the tech to go to the moon during the Nixon administration...yet we never went back? We don't have THOUSANDS OF ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF OUR IWN PLANET? there's no satellites in upper earth orbit that can relay a live stream with an actual real live picture of the planet turning no astronaut up on the cool wonky good time Iss while they let their hair loose for photoshoots ever took there phone out and filmed or shot the whole planet and Instagramed the pic? I'm not talking about low orbit where you just see the curve. I'm saying the planet itself spinning....think about it there is NEVER a smooth video of launch orbit shot of earth then reentry etc. Yet Nixon was on the phone in live time with Niel and Buzz in 1969. This is just the beginning of the problems and I'm not good at debating. I'm open to anything. I think we are on a globe. Research a good flat Earth channel with an open mind not trying to debunk. Dismiss the stuff you think they are wrong about. Concentrate on why they fake the majority of Space stuff . NASA is fraudulent liars so caught in one lie..why would you believe other stuff....oh and they just happened to tape over the original footage right? And then accidentally lost the telemetry Data? Come on man. None of it. NONE of IT makes sense when you take it all in. Use reason and common sense. Leave what you don't like. They are hiding something...if you want a decent moon landing debunk research. Basically irrefutable once you open your eyes, let me Kno. So they pull that stunt off. Ask yourself why they'd tell you the truth after that. And don't be a NASA apologist and say oh the cold war etc. No. Why didn't Russia go to the moon after we "made it"? What Russia just "ah fuck we were beat...screw it" what and China just finally made it 50 years later? It makes no sense. Why didn't china publish a full earth photo or better yet a video wouldn't it be nice to have a live video of the earths rotation and etc etc. Then kids could really learn...the list goes on man...

um dude! You only have a vacuum until you light your engine, then a split second later, you just have a box full of hot rocket gases, so umm no vacuum...
The problem is once the rocket lights off it fills the chamber with matter thus nullifying the vacuum. This experiment starts off in a vacuum but ends up a pressurized chamber.
It doesn't matter either way. A rockets thrust is not pushing off of anything.
@Jason Jennings ... dude these guys are shills! They always rely on Newton's third lie! They don't even understand it! They're deceivers and charlatans the science of today is like bad religion of yesterday. Anyway dude you rock God bless
@@ToxicTeemoOCE it is. In this case the chamber is too small and it's own particulates act as a backstop using it's own exhaust as atmosphere creating thrust. That is the experiments downfall. Chamber too small, igniter sealed in a air pocket nor in vacuum (epoxy) allowing ignition,. Failed test, but leaves some interesting questions and experiment ideas. Cheers
Yes,all man made. Rockets start in the atmosphere.then enters the vacuum of space
Not enough atmosphere generated by that rocket motor before it was effected by Newtons third law. It applied pressure to that scale within milliseconds. Your supposition failed.
You "think" it's enough proof for you??
Sounds very convincing to me.

no but Judy Woods proved that the Towers and other building were atomized by directed energy weapons, check it out!
Ok so does a flat basket ball wiegh less then a full one
@B.A.T. Guts and Glory your looking though nothing right now there is space between air molecules
You lost the vacuum by pressuring the chamber with the rocket exhaust.
Show constant vacuum on video next test.
thank goodness someone with a brain.....good one dan..theses guys are ether trolls or feds...no ones this dumb...lolol..u are right dan...
Plus, I believe they only used solid fuel boosters for liftoff. Once they were in space they used the liquid fuel rockets. Basically another reason this example/test doesn't prove anything. Well, it DOES prove something but to say it would seem 'trollish'. LOL
Take Care All
that and there is a wall 3 ft away from the rocket... you would have to build a much bigger chamber imo and show that you had a sollid vacuum the whole time
Nice to see a few Lions among all the Sheep.
Not enough atmosphere generated by that rocket motor before it was effected by Newtons third law. It applied pressure to that scale within milliseconds. Your supposition failed.
but dident the roccket produce atmosphere while burning off the oxidizer??
Exactly. And you can see the rocket produced more thrust as more atmosphere was produced.
You could do the same experiment with water blasting out and it would give the same result.
@Bobby b Same thing happens when you open a soda can in vacuum. You have immediate trust, without building up the atmosphere. So yes, the rocket would have moved even if it wouldn't produce "atmosphere".
@@amunra4015 No, it's producing more atmosphere as the thrust builds up.
No Not at all. Atmo means air, sphere means a spherical shape, atmosphere is therefore air that takes a spherical shape. No he did Not produce that at all.
You need to show what is happening with the pressure gauge inside your vacuum while the fuel is burning because inside a sealed case it would probably create it's own atmosphere.

@@lomasck LMAO. Half? You honestly think a little fire cracker like that created 0.5 Atmos of gas in a chamber that size? You'd be lucky if the pressure increased by even a full percent.
Your comparing the vacuum of space to a tiny chamber...? As soon as that rocket starts expelling gasses, it’s no longer a vacuum. So what’s the point here?
yes its true that the chamber fills up 100 % in a hundreds of a nanosecond. this is true also if the vacuum chamber is big as earth as the fill up is directly. Gases fill out with speed of the tens of the speed of light.

Outer space is an infinite vacuum, that box is a finite small vacuum.
Waterworld 360 there is not such thing as an infinite vacuum, though I think I know what you’re saying. Space is a *complete* vacuum. The box is as good as we can do on earth, especially with consumer products. The engine did produce thrust when the effective pressure in its immediate vicinity is zero.
Bingo!
Prove space is a vacuum! Prove anything that holds weight for all eternity!
don't kid yourself, it's not even a real vacuum. Can remove air, but not all.
@@NoAgendaVideo And on top of that the gases expelled from the oxider built up pressure removing the vacuum element out of the equation.
Did you prove that you were maintaining a perfect vacuum the whole time?
I never saw any gauges to prove you had a vacuum?
Just curious.
Its not close to a vacuum. There isn't enough suction power on the planet or material strong enough to even come close. This is a terrible experiment
@@trexx32 i agree
@@trexx32 It is extremely easy to create a perfect vacuum without any sort of vacuum pump!!
1. Get a thick walled glass tube say, six feet high 4 inches diameter.
2. Seal it perfectly at one end.
3. Place it so the tube is vertical along the 6 feet axis.
4. Fill it completely with mercury, with the mercury forming a convex bolster at the top of the tube.
5. Press and fix a blanking plate over the upright end.
6. Turn the tube upside down into a large diameter tank with enough mercury in it to be able to submerge the open end of the tube into it. The tank should be able to take the whole of the mercury in the tube in case of a accident.
7. With the tube vertical and the blanking plate under the mercury,take off the blanking plate.
8. The mercury will drop such that about 26 to 31 inches in the tube will be above the level of the mercury in the tank.
9. Above the mercury in the tube is a complete vacuum.
10. The height of mercury in the tube is being held up by the pressure of the atmosphere. You now have a barometer and can measure the atmospheric pressure by the height of the mercury above the tank level.
No need for a vacuum pump at all to get a vacuum.
TheStraightPath Asshole!!
trexx32 there is no vacuum in space.
I have a question. Did you measure the amount of vacuum within your chamber during the entire burn process? This seems important as the demonstration of a continuous vacuum throughout the process is necessary to establish whether or not the thrust results were actually obtained in a steady state of vacuum. Is the lack of atmosphere steady or dynamic? In true space, a rocket motor will have no vacuum altering affects on its surroundings.
Yes this makes this test invalid. At 3:10 with partial vacuum you can see the lid pop off when rocket fires. Heat will rapidly increase the pressure inside this chamber giving mass to the surrounding air and provide thrust. Would be nice to see a PSIA gauge shown in the high speed video to know what pressure the test starts with. Then observe the pressure increase after rocket fires. How strong is his vacuum pump? How close to 0 psi can it get? Takes a very strong pump to do this and no pump can get to 0.00 psi like you would experience in outer space. Besides thrust by definition is a force created through interaction with a fluid. Could be water or air etc. The heavier (more mass) the fluid, the greater potential for thrust. In this test, if 0 psi was reached there would be no mass to the air inside and no way to shift weight, hence produce thrust. This test is a misconception from the start because it attempts to prove Newtons Thirld Law in a vacuum and not thrust in a vacuum. The rocket would need to be mounted by something with near zero friction to measure the very small amount of force created from transferring mass out of the rocket and exiting into the chamber. It would need to be very sensitive to pick up the small amount of force.
@@RNDInnovators - So are you one of those that does not believe that thrust works in a vacuum? Your explanation seems like you are still unsure.
For example: A space Shuttle Main engine (SSME) at sea level, combusts 500 kilograms of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen PER SECOND.
It combusts this mixture creating 500 kilograms of PURE WATER.
It then ACCELERATES these 500 kilograms of water to MACH EIGHT in about 10 feet (the length of the engine).
Now tell me: does the engine experience RECOIL force from accelerating those 500 kilograms of MASS to MACH EIGHT?
Why YES IT DOES experience a HUGE force from accelerating that mass!
So is the recoil from accelerating that same 500 kg of mass INTO THE VACUUM a "small amount of force" or is it a REALLY BIG FORCE?
@@stuartgray5877 You are confusing recoil with thrust. They are two different things. Recoil is the transfer of a mass within the object. Thrust is the interaction with a fluid that has mass. The more mass a fluid has, the greater ability to produce thrust. You need to understand that in a vacuum or zero pressure, air has no mass. You can move as much of it as you want but there is no resulting force. As atmospheric pressure increases from 0.00 psi, surrounding air increases mass and the potential to produce thrust is made possible. THRUST in a vacuum is impossible. Recoil as you state is but don't confuse recoil with thrust.
@@RNDInnovators - "You are confusing recoil with thrust. They are two different things"
They are NOT different things.
they are BOTH results of the Law of Conservation of Momentum.
"You need to understand that in a vacuum or zero pressure, air has no mass"
This is 100% FALSE.
Air has mass regardless.
I will BET that you have never even taken a physics class, but you feel confident trying to explain rocket propulsion to an actual rocket scientist?
Answer these three questions:
When a rocket engine is running:
1 - Is the exhaust gas ACCELERATED as it leaves the nozzle? (does it undergo a change in velocity)?
2 - Does the exhaust gas have MASS? Yes or No?
3 - Can MASS be ACCELERATED without a FORCE? (or is a FORCE required to ACCELERATE MASS?)
Answer these three questions to get a baseline and Ill ask the REAL questions.
@@stuartgray5877 Sorry but you are failing physics class right now. Look up whether air has mass in a vacuum. Look up what happens as you increase air pressure within a tank. It gets heavier. Reduce pressure and it weighs less. Water becomes a gas as you go below 0.5psi. Again understand the difference between thrust and recoil. Recoil in a vacuum is not thrust. A jet boat produces thrust due to the interaction with the fluid it passes through the pump. Jet aircraft engine interacts with air to produce thrust. The amount of fuel burned and exiting at high velocity is producing miniscule amounts of thrust. A rocket at launch has both a recoil force from high velocity exhaust gas but majority of the thrust is produced by pushing against the surrounding high pressure air that has mass. The rocket fuel tries to expand but it meets resistance by the pressurized air that does not want to move out of the way so easy. At high altitude the air has almost no mass and easily displaces when acted upon by a rocket. The X-15 was losing "thrust" as altitude increased. I've been a pilot for 25 years and have a shop with a vacuum press. Have you taken any flying lessons? You should. Also learn how a vacuum press works.
The rocket doesn't push on the air; the propellant pushes on the rocket as it ejects.
Force=Mass X Acceleration. The gasses accelerating out the back provide a force.
@Papa Legba How do you explain GPS satellites or the ISS. I have made telescopic and naked eye observations of the ISS. Without functional rocket propulsion, no space vehicle could maintain a stable orbit.

@@twistedyogertthe iss isn't in the vacuum of outer space, it's in low earth orbit.
There was no more vacuum when the smoke and gases filled the chamber. Even more, it is seen that the thrust increases with the increasing concentration of gas and particles inside the chamber. An even bigger chamber with constant dynamic vacuum would be required.
In increase in thrust over time is due to the motor design, these motors rarely have a constant thrust it changes over time depending on the thrust curve of that particular motor.
Correct. This video actually does more to prove that propulsion DOES NOT work in a vacuum.

I doubt that thing could hold the vacuum. It would have been nice if you showed the pressure gauge too.
booger king doubt all you want, it did, I did all of the math when I built it, why do you think we're standing behind a blast Shield for show? We show the Gage at 10:12, we did it that way so it was uncut, so people couldn't claim that it was a separate shot. You can clearly see the pressure change when the rocket is burned
you can also see that vacuum is lost during ignition because of the gases produced, you can see that on the gauge...so..it wasn't a vacuum then
MyVumvuvum Hurts Actually his failed burn where the ignition pops out proves that thrust can be achieved in a vacuum, granted on accident.
That pressure gauge isn't capable of showing anything near a "complete" vacuum or conditions in space anyways.
The pressure gauge is at the wrong place it should be above the weighing scale...
Can we see the pressure gauge as this thing is replacing vacuum with gas?
Yes but the exhaust gases are not nitrogen and oxygen, so there still is no air in the vacuum chamber.

A good experiment would be: instead of testing a rocket thrust in a huge ass vacuum chamber (it's hard to make one), you should make a huge pressurized chamber and see if there is a thrust increase due to increase of pressure. If there is an increase in thrust then you can say it would lack trust in a vacuum because of a direct relation ship of thrust increases directly as pressure increases.
Very Good! But there is no reason to build a chamber to test this (huge-ass or otherwise). Water is 784X more dense than air. So rockets should work 784X better underwater if they needed something to push on. And there is lots of video of underwater rockets. th-cam.com/video/74FIY3SGd4k/w-d-xo.html
Severely underrated comment.
oof you are thinking outside the box
Wouldn't that be why the nozzle size of a rocket engine only works nominally at one specific altitude? So obviously pressure is a factor for thrust....
@@kk3623 That relates to something called specific impulse the pressure can reduce the impulse dependant on engine design.
It has more to do with the atmospheric pressure preventing fuel from leaving the engine than anything else.
But now that I think about it this would further prove the idea that you need a atmosphere to push off wrong since the atmosphere hinders the engine efficiency instead of helping it.
Rockets dont produce thrust by pushing against atmosphere they produce thrust by expelling highly pressurized gas out of a nozzle, similar to the recoil of a gun, atmosphere has nothing to do with it
Nick Jean thank you for that., why don't people remember physics 101?
People who understand basic physics don't go spouting flat earth nonsense to begin with. Heck it doesn't even take basic physics, understanding some simple geometry is sufficient. As demonstrated by ancient Greeks who measured the circumference of Earth at a time when aristotelian physics was pinnacle of understanding of nature. In other words, they didn't know physics from an donkeys arse, but even they weren't stupid enough to spout flat earth nonsense.
SRIKANTH BAYAGANI This may surprise you, but everything in the universe is composed of atoms. When those atoms react in various ways, they create compounds. These rockets use compounds that, when ignited, supply their OWN combustion fuel. Imagine this; Imagine a magic water that if you boiled, would create butane that lights itself at water's boiling point. This is a solid rocket engine. As it burns, it supplies fuel to itself through the very combustion reaction. It doesn't suck oxygen out of the atmosphere to burn, genius.
It does have something to do with the atmosphere, but more in the sense of chamber pressure, hence the different size of nozzle. This means that the majority of thrust in the atmosphere is created by pushing against it.
In vacuum high chamber presure is key since the ammount of thrust generated is determined by the speed of the exhaust gasses
SRIKANTH BAYAGANI "How the fuel burnt in vaccum chamber that is there is no oxygen?" i literally can't believe that we have to explain the concept of fuel and oxidizer in this day and age. heck, ask a 12 year old, even they have heard of the fire triangle.

Well done. As other have said the smoke from the exhaust created its own atmosphere inside a closed chamber. Space has no walls.

@@Skeleton-bs7zy The pump if it does exist could not keep up. The speed of the exhaust is too great...The wall/rocket also reacts with Newton 3rd law of motion. Use a large chamber...
@@johnguy1350 what of the amount of thrust, it was highest at the start and still high at reasonable low pressure compared to its normal ability if the rocket relied on pressure to work shouldn't produce less inside a vacuum chamber.
is the rocket producing enough atmosphere to act as normal pressure.
Why would the third law work on the wall but not the gas
@@johnguy1350 Also their just a diy channel, how large do you expect them to build it
@@Skeleton-bs7zy I would suggest you conduct your own test and make a video of it. See what happens. The thrust coming out the tail will most likely move the rocket forward. The question then becomes control. Newton third law will work.
The scale's needle deflects as soon as the engine starts, when the vacuum is at it's greatest, and then decreases as time goes on and the vacuum is filled. If pressure is needed for the engine's force you'd see the opposite pattern.
rtensor That’s why the efficiency of a rocket engine gets higher when going higher haha
But the gasses instantly collect before ignition showing it wasn't in a vacuum to being with. An object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an outside force. Why did the gasses initially collect in the middle? Answer, there was an opposing force remaining within this supposed vacuum. THIS is what you call bunk science.
@@bdm1000 This guy is a paid for government shill promoting lies ❗
1) you cannot pull a complete absolute vacuum in any vacuum chamber.
2) In that vacuum chamber the gases produced by that rocket engine could not be absorbed as fast as they got produced.
3) the gases coming from the rocket engine pressed against the side of the vacuum chamber which gave it its boost pushing it across the alleged vacuum chamber.
4) Just like in a vacuum flies can't fly. Everyone should know that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, that is, as long as you have something to be pushing off of or against.
So, what you just inadvertently proved to the world, if the sheeple can see it; is that, like a fly that can't without an atmosphere for its wings to be beating against, a rocket engine cannot Propel anything in a complete vacuum either; because there's no atmosphere for the hot escaping gases to push against.

@@jrngln I see u lack a basic understanding of how a rocket engine actually works. The burning propellant of a rocket has mass. The rocket engine pushes against burned propellant. The rocket engine creates its own "atmosphere".
@@lifepolicy The rocket doesnt poop propellent, it burns it and only ejects hot exhaust gasses, gas can not push against nothing. Gas can push against other gasses only. Also the weight difference of exhaust gasses to the weight of the whole rocket is so insanely different, if it really did work on recoil mode that you so desperately wish it did then rocket would still not have ehough recoil/mass ejecting to even just move the rocket.

Don't forget the level of vacuum of deep space has not been reproduced on Earth even when encasement of meters of concrete - your puny vacuum here encased in plexiglass is so far off the vacuum of space it is laughable....and that would make a huge difference to the rocket thrust and its ignition.
.....plus don't forget nature hates a vacuum....the only way it is created is in an 'enclosed' environment.....is space an 'enclosed' environment ??.......
Your statements prove you have no idea what you are talking about. The difference between the FORCE ON on a Vacuum enclosure is NEGLIGIBLE whether the vacuum is "ROUGH VACUUM" or "Ultra-HIGH Vacuum". The enclosure CANNOT TELL the difference.
Lets call "ROUGH Vacuum" equal to 1.0X10-3 Torr or 0.001 Torr
While "Utlra HIGH Vacuum" equal to 1.0X10-17 Torr or 0.00000000000000001 Torr

Doesn't really matter because we can't go to space anyway it is impossible
@@jamescoli3209 are you blind? There are tons of clips from space.
To simulate the vacuum of space, you need to create a vacuum that is removing the exhaust from the rocket as fast as it's being dispelled or you are creating a pressure that would not occur in the vacuum and void of an ever-expanding space.
Nope, because the rocket produces force before the exhaust builds up any pressure.
There's one little problem. Once the rocket motor is ignited, the vacuum is not a vacuum anymore because the chamber gets filled with gasses and building up pressure. This experiment has to be conducted in a much larger vacuum chamber that is constantly being kept in a state of vacuum despite the rocket engine gasses produced.
Watch at 12:10. He addresses that we saw measured thrust at the very moment of ignition, before there was an appreciable amount of gas inside the chamber.
How could you post this......so very flawed. Very insufficient vacuum.

@@FalconPunch1978 Termite + directed energy weapons. You can thank me later.
I think you have to try it with longer chamber, so we can see how many "smokes" needed to reach the dead end of the room before it push the non-vacuum material.
Doesn't the rocket push against the wall's of the small chamber, seems like its the wrong parameters for any real conclusion. Much respect for effort and engineering though.
The thrust meter measures thrust before the plume of smoke gets a few inches from the nozzle. SO thrust is there before the chamber fills up.
In the interests of seeing how well this experiment replicated a state of perpetual vacuum, I would have liked to have seen the pressure measurement gauge at all times also throughout the entire duration of the experiment. This data is more than somewhat crucial to the entire experiment if to challenge Newton's 3rd Law of Motion. Thrust was measured. Tick that box. But was this within a state of perpetual vacuum? It's a shame the experiment did not demonstrate this at all times. If you look at the pressure gauge at around 10 minutes of the video, you can actually see the pressure gauge moving rapidly in direct response to the rocket burn. So on that basis, this in itself demonstrates the experiment is a fail. I believe that this shows that the chamber was immediately subject to positively increasing pressure in direct ratio to the energy release of the rocket burn. I think that there is a distinct prospect here that chamber was immensely too small for this experiment to be accurate. Would love to see a re-run with this aspect compensated for properly. The vacuum chamber would have to be quite huge I think, and the actual size would have to be mathematically derived at.
As an aeronautical engineer, I have to say I'm glad you are questioning these bases of our science. They should be constantly reevaluated. That being said, Newton's 3rd Law is actually a part of a group of conservative ideas: conservation of momentum, conservation of mass, conservation of energy. Newton's 2nd is conservation of momentum, if you want to test that out next. A cool way to test conservation of energy (well, at least to a nerd like me) is actually just dissolving salt in water. Saltwater is a lower energy state than salt and water, which means that dissolving salt in water causes energy to be released, aka it heats up. Grab an IR camera or thermometer, dissolve enough salt, and you can see the temperature of the water heat up.
Out of curiosity, Sir, what field of aero do you currently occupy?
233kosta orbital mechanics, satellite dynamics, that sort of thing. I just graduated from my school's program, though, and I took classes in propulsion systems (turbine engines, ramjets, rockets, propellers), aerodynamics, boundary layers, and thermodynamics. I also took classes in mechanical engineering.
Gabe McDonald nice! I am a spacecraft test engineer and I have worked numerous deep space programs. Care to take a challenge? I dare you to have a conversation with 'rockets push off air'?

I really liked your video. Thank you for going through all the trouble. I wish you showed us the vacuum pump setup and what the readings were throughout the experiment. Also I'd like to see what the amount of force generated was with an atmosphere and in a vacuum to compare.
This would have been the whole reason I performed the experiment. A test with no data is little more than playing around with no purpose at all
I think the problem is the vacuum chamber. your vacuum chamber is very small/limited while on space it is unlimited/endless vacuum.

It's more scary to believe that people just take NASA's BS at face value without questioning it. Who is the real idiot? How many times has NASA been busted so far? You people just say "not true" and it's over.
The Real Elvis but why do you guys deny everything that has happened in space?
There's enough proof to show they've lied about everything in space
Did you not prove Newton’s 3rd law with the hangfire? Though it did not propel your sled, it did propel the smoke. Smoke is a physical object as well. In your second attempt, you see the fuse and ignitor swing free, so as the thrust pushed, the ignitor moved. 3rd law.
Exactly..... Agreed
how about for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction .... no 3rd law except on earth
Dennis Allen It moves down because everything that is not affixed to something will go down and since it was curved it moved down towards its curvature and that happens in oxygen as well with out having to ignite it.
nickacelvn what the f*** are you talking about? The Earth doesn't have something behind it pushing it? The Earth is basically falling in a straight line and being bent by gravity around the Sun. What exactly are you even asking here?
c5elmo76 but why didn't move anywhere? In order for it to move down or swing it had to be pushed off of what it was connected to. How did it do this with no Force? Was it gravity that pushed it away from what it was connected to and then made it swing down?
It is hilarious that people are even questioning Newtons 3rd law - Is the dispute just over rockets in a vacuum? For the doubters, how does recoil work when you fire a gun? Is the force you feel the bullet pushing back off the air? The principle is the same, you throw something away from you and it will impart a force in the opposite direction. In the case of a rocket, it's lots of fast-moving gas, or many tiny bullets, if you will.... Try sitting in a wheelchair and firing an automatic weapon forward, you will start to move backwards. What's the difference between that and a rocket firing?
I was not questioning, just for fun. but I do like the firing a weapon in a wheelchair idea, that would be hilarious to see.
@@WarpedYT ive actually seen someone do that on youtube

@@snuffly569 really. They are more similar than you think. A contained explosion ejecting, mass to cause which recoil creates acceleration. The gun is a rocket, the neck of the barrel is the burn chamber, the end of the barrel is the nozzle, and the gas and bullet is the exhaust of the rocket. Breaking it down to the simplest form, they are very similar. Except one has a short impulse while the other is a constant impulse.
How is this a vacuum when you’ve got smoke coming out of the corners of the box?
Because it isn't 😂

ProCactus lol damn
Tom Clancy Actually black holes are the opposite of empty, they're made of matter so condensed that its sheer density warps light because of its gravity
remember that space has infinite volume of vacuum. this tank becomes pressurized when the volume of gas created from the burn overcomes the volume of your pump and thus gives you some thrust. If your pump could suck as much as your rocket blows then nothing could happen .Once again space has an infinite volume and your pump is extremely under rated !!!!
Cruze Missile In the slow motion footage you can see a force being exerted on the scale during ignition before the chamber gets filled with gas. That proves it riight there, FE's no longer have a good reason to deny Newton' s third law in a vacuum.
bcd7977 That's not why it moves.
@Cruze Missile True i agree with you
True its faken
Its correct he fooled ...he created the Atmosphere to burn the oxygen but not really used Vacuum
Because he'll fail and no one will see this video
100% correct.
The thrust isn’t generated by pushing against something (or nothing). Mass is projected backward regardless of atmosphere (assuming ignition occurs), and the total momentum of that mass that’s projected backwards will be equal to the forward momentum of whatever object is being accelerated.
Mike Taffet you need to study a little more action does not equal reaction in a vacum it does in Hollywood but that's a hole different subject in fact you simply can't produce any kind of thrust if you could NASA would show us seeing as they have the world's largest vac chamber very little vid exists on propulsion or space suits or really any decent thing in that huge vac chamber they drop a feather and a bowling ball and kind of disprove gravity but don't give any of the data such as beginning weights rate of descent psi on contact ect. It's something they don't want us paying to much attention to vacum is cool but the suez canal is better it has no locks at 120miles plus a lot of water on both sides even if you call it 300 miles shore to shore 4.5 miles of curve does not equate but hay I could this all day how bout electro magnetic rail guns the USA has a new weapon projectiles travel up to mach 7 in a absolute strait line so in about 98 seconds that projectile travels 100 miles but what about the 1.5 miles of curve it does not ground out it does not arrive 1.5 miles above target it arrives level with it's launch level everywhere so it's flat or the magic of gravity some how can specifically grab an object traveling at mach 7 while gently bending large water surfaces and not pulling to hard on any birds or clouds
Robert Newer WTF? What's your point?
Rocket and burning rocket fuel are certainly pushing against each other.
Flatters are not thinking science or reasons or evidence or logic. They are thinking if they can say something to get attention. And the best thing to do is not give it to them. "Rockets don't work in space" is no different than claiming a forest is full of fairies, or the god's demand a virgin sacrifice. The argument is made to gain attention. The best thing we can do is ignore them. Then we can use the time to learn actual science. Like how a rocket engine works. Then maybe the the maker of this video would have known the ignitor he was using does not contain oxygen, and will not work in a vacuum.
That's what THEY want you to think!!!
9:41 cork in a bottle effect . Mechanical momentum innitiated before smoke filled atmosphere . A bottle of champagne would have exactly the same effect .
So you started with the box (small closed system) under vacuum,... once the solid state fuel finally achieved stable ignition, the gasses created a toxic but physical atmosphere thus filling the (small closed system) vacuum with pressure. Once the volume of vacuumed space was pressured by the gases (I assume the vacuum was nolonger running) the rocket gained increased footing for which to push off of.
Build a new vacuum chamber the size of a room and try this experiment again while continuously running the vacuum on high to simulate the open expanse of space.
I'll feel better with those results. This test will take into account the variables in question as mentioned above thus reducing the likelihood of the propellent creating its own atmospheric conditions.
Thanks
It would probably work, however to maintain a vacuum in a chamber that size would require rather large vacuum pumps and would still not accomplish anything since we saw thrust in the first few seconds of ignition, long before the chamber had a chance to become compromised. Add to this the fact that rockets do not produce thrust by pushing off of atmosphere, but instead by using Newton's third law to push the motor in the opposite direction of the nozzle opening due to uneven pressure on the internal walls of the combustion chamber, and you will see why it didn't really matter that the chamber was eventually compromised by the exhaust gasses.
Oh god, it would not work. Constant vacuum will constantly negate any atmosphere created by the fuel hence no atmosphere, no barrier=no going to space and no thrusts. Do not be silly my man lol
+Rizal Jose Your nonsensical gibberish was silly, not Newton's third law.
For an example of constant vacuum, see Peter Leane's videos. Very tiny motor. Chamber was large enough that the expelled gas didn't make the pressure gauge on the chamber twitch. Produced thrust.
I was thinking the same thing , this vacuum is no where near scale
That's my point. He made a very small chamber and produced atmosphere in it and that's how thrust produced. But space is infinite and it does not behave like this small chamber.
And the most important point is there should be a strong boundary just like your chamber to separate vaccum and atmosphere. Where is that strong boundary or earth?
- "there should be a strong boundary just like your chamber to separate vaccum and atmosphere. "
A device called a "Gas Centrifuge" can create a region of high-pressure gas right next to a region of low-pressure gas (a "vacuum") with no barrier between the two regions.
This creates a Pressure "Gradient" all the way from high pressure to low pressure just like we observe in earth's atmosphere.
What is the theory of operation of the Gas Centrifuge?

Yes, a Force (or acceleration) CAN compress gases such that they exhibit a Pressure GRADIENT. Exactly how GRAVITY applies a FORCE to compress gas against the surface of the earth creating a Pressure GRADIENT. Next you will tell us Atmospheric pressure gradient in earth's atmosphere is a hoax.
Come on do it genius.
Tells us you DONT believe that atmospheric pressure decreases as a function of altitude.

What is a "complete vacuum"? There is no such thing. Vacuum levels are have specific terms tied to them as follows: (RV) Rough vacuum= 1x10-3 torr, (HV) High Vacuum= 1x10-7 Torr, (UHV) Ultra High Vacuum 1x10-11. The terms "complete vacuum" and "full vacuum" are meaningless.
@@OliverMiles98 This guy doesn''t have a high vacuum pump[ (turbo pump or cryo pump). So he is operating in the rough vacuum regime. So that means lots and lots of molecules left in that box. In fact I would be surprised if he is even less than 1 torr.
@@bigfoot7883 but space is not a "pure" vacuum either. The idea for the video comes from flat earthers who say a rocket wouldn't work in space cuz its a vacuum hence rockets and space are lies, hence the world is flat.
Note that they used hypergolics for lander decent and ascent, not solids. Same physics though.
solid fuels are used only as boosters and to produce enough impulse to lift the rocket to space, in space everyone uses liquid motors or other types of fuels...
IamIUareU originally I even said that in the video, but my rocket science is friend told me that there were a few instances where they used solid rocket boosters in space with rupture discs, so that part got pulled out of the episode as to not create confusion there.
Gregory Hughes those are coming up soon.
merlin 1 for Falcon 9 used Kerosene and LOX .Try that.
Same principles for solid rocket boosters or liquid rockets. The only reason they tend to not use solid boosters in space is because once ignited, it burns until done, while with liquid rockets, you can turn them off when you want, so you can control the burn.

Great Work! I would like to see the pressure guage reading along with the scale reading side by side. I suspect that initial ignition might re-pressurize the vacuum chamber? The vastness of space would be hard to re-pressurize. Kudos to the ingenuity and effort!
You "suspect"?
Please calculate the volume of gas produced in the burning of the rocket fuel. Don't forget to show your working.
In the meantime, you can watch countless armature rocket videos of vehicles continuing to accelerate under power as they climb through the rapidly thinning atmosphere.
you can see in the video there no suspecting, you see the exhaust pushing off the walls and the back end of the chamber filling up which then pushes it back towards the rocket. even a long bit of soot can be seen(in slo mo part of clip) travelling towards the backend and hit the higher pressure coming back up towards the scale end and joining it, it even passes through/against the new exhaust when its burning it hardest and catches fire but that new exhaust isn't enough to push agaist the pressure built up from the other end and goes to land at the scale end. as for him working out the volume there a pressure guage on the chamber all you need to do is see what it at before starting and what it is at after should tell you the new mass in the chamber. rockets lose speed travelling straight up as the air gets thin the exhaust flame spreads right out in all directions meaning less going straight down giving less thrust upward to the point they can't keep going staight up and so you see them arc over and fly out of sight crash in the ocean or whatever lol they not going up into a vacuum and getting any thrust at all

Do a few control test inside the chamber in normal atmospheric conditions , for example 3, then take notes of the thrust and calculate an average and/or a total from each test, (as they will most likely vary a small amount) then,
do the test 3 more times, while in a vacuum environment and calculate the average and/or total thrust.

Your vacuum chamber walls create the medium needed to create thrust. It’d require a much larger vacuum chamber for useful results. Thanks for the attempted study.
Exactly right. The opposite reaction is created by the rocket thrust pushing off the wall of the enclosure.
that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Shame on you. Once the exhaust leaves the rocket it is no longer in contact with the rocket. So how the fuck can it impart thrust to the rocket when it hits the wall. Use your fucking brain, if you have any!!
Except he "thrust" gauge increases before the gas plume hits the back of the chamber.
Also, how do you propose the particles of gas transmit the "resistance" back though the gas to the thrust sensor, champ?
It seems like no one in the comments actually KNOWS anything about anything they haven't experience. It's all relying on their own belief in someone else's 'experiences'. These little vacuum experiments are problematic to me because they light the rocket fuel in a tiny confined space, after a few short moments the space is actually filled with gases allowing for some, although, slight movement.

Keep going..
Ullage motors used to settle the propellants into the base of the propellant tanks to cover the inlets prior to turbopump start after a long duration without thrust in space (coast phase). They are often solid propellant motors because they are far more reliable and they do not require an ullage motor of their own. CGT RCS engines lack the thrust level to settle propellants and hypergolic RCS motors wouldn't waste their valuable propellants for anything other than orientation tasks.

You dont need a rocket engine to test that. Shoot out something with a mechanical spring. That gives thrust

The rocket thrust isn’t pushing against the atmosphere…the engine is accelerating gas at velocity out the back. The reaction is between the exhaust and the base of the rocket.
Also…the vacuum you built doesn’t work

I noticed your vacuum gauge gained pressure as the propellant burned. Creating an atmosphere. Mmmm, Fail!
Yeah that doesn't matter, all I was worried about was the first 10 or 20 milliseconds of ignition. The rest of the burn was just for entertainment.
Earth is round, but I don't trust space people. Heliocentrism has been debunked (search this video on YT: "The path of solar eclipses proves a geocentric universe : FULL"). So how can we trust NASA? In my view, Newton's law is not in question, but rather its honest application to the whole dynamic...
I believe that the thrust from combustion is 90% is from the reaction between that high velocity exhaust and the atmosphere. This experiment only seems to isolate the thrust from ignition/combustion, but does not prove that it is what accounts for the majority of thrust capacity.
Of course there will be a kickback (thrust) from the ignition. The question is: does that create the majority of a rocket's thrust capacity? I think not. Also, any vacuum chamber cannot be a similar comparison with space, because space is not a contained volume. Any gas in space would be compelled to expand and disperse rapidly without being contained.
In any case, thanks for the experiment.

"Creating an atmosphere."
nope...it just raised the pressure. no "atmosphere' was created...that actually doesn't make any sense as written. vacuum isn't a complete lack of matter, there are differing degrees of vacuum the same way there are different degrees of pressure.
such a simplistic viewpoint....
So the moment you ignited the rocket in the vacuum chamber which was not a perfect vacuum, you introduced more gasses for the rocket to push off of. Your experiment failed.
Yeah, clearly, the experiment is a total fail. Still won't stop a bunch of NASA chatbots attacking you for pointing it out though... Enjoy!😂
Excellent execution of a hypothesis this definitely changed my mind
Please understand the second the ignition happens gas is released and the chamber no longer is a vacuum....it creates pressure to thrust against..notice the delay at ignition...good video tho.
Josiah Clayton the very act of the plug being ejected out of the nozzle provided measurable force against the pressure plate, and this happened long before the gases from the combustion filled up the chamber.
Why are you being so dense?
His Honer, Special Council Covfefe Chocker the pressure happened as soon as reaction happened thats why the thrust increased...a rocket starts off at full thrust normally and then slows down ...in a vacuum however thrust increased as the reaction happened due to the gas increase causing more and more pressure in the container.
His Honer, Special Council Covfefe Chocker the more gas released the more pressure and that equals increase in thrust...even the tiniest amount of air makes a difference...but good luck holding on to false science because its going the way of the dino....if they ever existed.
Literally, you prove 3rd law by needing to reinforce your vacuum chamber.
The needle was moving before the chamber filled with exhaust gases! 🍺😎👍
That is because his igniter was epoxyed shut with whatever air that got trapped in the chamber allowing for ignition, which failed without this chamber. Then because it was sealed it created internal pressure upon that chamber jarring the rocket apparatus a bit before going full burn and creating thrust using it's own artificial atmospheric pressure.
Sorry for the run on there. Cheers!
@Thane Mac In a finite vacuum, yes.
In this experiment's initial vacuum, then quasi-vacuum (vacuum until it started to be filled up with an atmosphere). This particular experiment does not prove its hypothesis. Does that make the hypothesis wrong? Not necessarily. Just not proven here.
if enyone thinks that rockets dont work in space, you are wrong, it is true that some solid fuel rockets dont ignite properly in a vacuum, but solid fuel rockets are usually used for launch only so they ignite while still on the ground and in the atmosphere, liquid fuel rockets are used for liftoff too but they are also used in space for menuvering, liqued fuel rockets ignite just fine in a complete vacuum, thats why the space shuttle was able to complete its mission
We use solid rocket motors as upper stages frequently.
Those are lit in vacuum.
There is absolutely nothing man made in space. This video proves it.

Really glad you compared thrust values. Nice inclusion of a vacuum reading throughout the test. Science
Didn't expect a heart. You do understand i was ironically pointing out failures right? The scientific method was not applied here even a little.
Didn't hold a vaccum an atmosphere was created. Bullshit
I find it strange that you could not attach your vacuum gauge at the same end as the rocket… Just how much of a vacuum was there? And just how perfectly sealed was this container...
too many unanswered questions as to the legitimacy of this test…
Exactly!
Then demonstrate he's wrong, go ahead! Oh yeah, that's what I thought
That is a little smaller area than supposed outer space. Not quite a comparative environment.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to agree with the viewers about your Vacuum being 'LOST IN SPACE'! Definitely need to show the vacuum gauge consistently with your next tests. Your attempts at proving Newton's Law of motion was still entertaining to say the least, and for that, we thank you.
In fact, i think the case was proven just by the way the igniter gets jetisoned from the rocket booster. What's left is simply cool to see :)
I had the same question when I was doing my BTech. I asked my professor about how come a rocket gets propelled in a vacuum. He had no good answer at that time... later on I realized that I was thinking the force in a wrong way... rocket is never propelled like you sit on a wheelchair and push the wall to go in opposite direction... it's propelled like you are jumping out of the boat & no matter whether you land on water or ground, the boat is going to get propelled in opposite direction...
In the same way, no matter whether the gases from the rocket goes in the atmosphere or in a vacuum, the rocket is going to go in opposite direction. in fact, it will go much efficiently in a vacuum as there is no resistance to it.
Anther nice one to think of is an explosion. Just in a rockets case it is a controlled and continuous expansion of gas particles.
Ya I like that analogy if that’s the word. Makes sense thanks for that
And that's why they use liquid propellants in space kids.
What's to slow down the liquid propellant For the rocket to push off? Newton 3rd law doesn't work in space like on earth
No ar, no fire, simple.
@@simonemattos5041 Liquid rockets do produce fire, they use their own oxidizer.
I like your video... what I wish you would have done, what I would have done... would have been to install an O-Gauge railroad track into the container, onto that place a 1/2A Estes motor onto a flat car. The thrust should have been enough to move it at least a meter or so. If not, continue with an A8, and if needed (doubtful) a B motor. You could have even had the track at a slight incline such that the railroad car rolled back to the left. Then you would clearly see movement to the right, then rolling back to the left. If you do decide to do this experiment, I would not recommend using anything higher than a B motor... it could get dangerous.
NASA doesn't use solid fuel rockets in space. Only in Atmosphere to assist with launch vehicles. In Vacuum NASA uses liquid fuel rocket engines.
pepcon disaster look it up
NASA doesn't use solid fuel rockets in space, but that does not change the results here. Accuracy of thrust measurement is not required here.
NASA used a solid fuel rocket in space very recently on the Parker Solar probe.
They did have several corrections burns TCM-1 44.0 seconds and TCM-2 for 35.2 seconds. Solid rockets cannot be used for these maneuvers as once you ignite a solid motor, it can not be stopped.
TCM-1 Quotes-----
Spacecraft controllers at the mission operation center initiated the two-part TCM-1 beginning at 6:00 a.m. EDT on Aug. 19 with a 44-second burn of the engines. The majority of the engine firing, which lasted just over seven minutes, began at 6:00 a.m. EDT on Aug. 20.
“TCM-1 is one of the critical events of the mission and a major mission milestone,” said Parker Solar Probe mission design and navigation manager Yanping Guo, from APL. “In the future, we only need to fine-tune the trajectory periodically, and no major adjustments or large maneuvers will be required unless something unusual happens. In short: We are on our way to touch the Sun!”
“The team completely nailed this maneuver,” said APL’s Andy Driesman, Parker Solar Probe project manager. “Execution of the burn was exceptional, measuring at less than 0.2 percent magnitude error-which translates to a 0.3 standard deviation, or sigma, from optimal. We had defined success for TCM-1 as up to 3 sigma, which really illustrates how phenomenally this was executed.”
TCM-2 Quotes-----
On Friday, Aug. 31, flight controllers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland performed a second planned Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM-2), a thruster burn which lasted for 35.2 seconds. This maneuver, which was executed with a high degree of precision, adjusted the direction of the spacecraft to position it for its Venus flyby on Oct. 3, when it will use Venus’ gravity to shed speed and draw its orbit closer to the Sun in preparation for its first solar approach.
@@N2Otorious I had thought I had seen a video where a NASA engineer was talking about the propulsion in space. Guess I was wrong. I knew already that you cannot stop a solid rocket from burning all its fuel after ignition; now that I think about it, it seems much less sensible to use one in space.
The lack of scientific understanding here is depressing!
That's the back bone of flat earth thinking
Did you know that you can PROVE that GRAVITY exists????? All you need to do is have two chambers connected by a valve. Have one chamber with air at atmospheric pressure, and the other with a vacuum. Now because gravity holds our atmosphere to the earth, and the gravity at ground level, is MUCH HIGHER than at the edge of our atmosphere the air at ground level will stay attracted to earth. SO, to prove this, position the air chamber on the ground with the valve pointing up. Than connect the VACUUM chamber to the valve ABOVE the other chamber. With a gauge on each chamber, and slowly opening the valve, the air in the bottom chamber will stay there (by Gravity), and the top chamber will hold a vacuum. You will now have the ultimate PROOF that GRAVITY and SPACE are REAL !!!!!!!!!!
@@stevethomas9142 fact is, that down pull is diamagnetic, not theoretical gravity. And by the way, this experiment is within a container, space doesn't have a container. That's why fire started burning out from the edges of the container and then slowly came closer to the rockets ignition butt. EARTH IS FLAT, Peace out!
@@erickedmondromanharris1549 You are absolutely right. This chamber experiment proves that gravity is bullshit, (i was being sarcastic to ball believers) and I 100% agree the earth is flat. I'm glad that there are some sane people left in this world. Thanks
@@stevethomas9142 so why is the sun the exact same size directly above as it is at sun rise and set the same goes for the moon
that is a little teeny tiny vacuum box. he did not show the gauges when it ignited, there was a lot of that should dissapated . i think the test is BS
not bs. You can see that the Class b engine had a wider exhaust plume at 14:08 which is what happens at lower air pressure/vacuums, then compressing back together once it's gasses pressurize the box. Though in a complete vacuum, the plume would be exiting the nozzle in a complete 180 degrees, so he wasn't all the way there.
I think it would have helped to have a rocket engine that contained an oxidizer. You can't have a flame without oxygen. Or better yet- Don't use a flame at all. Use compressed water and air or a remote controlled can of hairspray to prove that every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction.
who claims a rocket can only get thrust from air and not from a solid side wall as seen in this video?
3rd law clearly shows that motor expells force one way, rocket will go the other way. There's no need for a mass to push against.
Pmsl how can it be a vacuum with the lid lifting off you clown !
Because that was the control experiment? Try watching the rest of the video where the lid doesn't pop off.
@@GilesBathgate LMFAO the control. he openly admits to there being an "issue"
@@GilesBathgate 200 proofs . thanks for the sideshow my judas goat
Btw, in "space" 🤣 the rocket would have no underground or something to push against to create thrust. But your motor has, it is attached to iron bars and to the box, so it has resistance from something.
Excuse me 4 my english, i'm dutch...
@@ronnieberck6505 the same force rockets rely on is the same force that holds lakes as a liquid state. Atmospheric pressure. These people think you could just have a drop of water in space
That tiny vacuum box is why you got the result you did, put the same rocket in a complete vacuum area the size of a gymnasium and I bet you'll see a different result since the space will be to big for the rocket to create an atmosphere in.
That’s not what causes the force though, the combustion reaction inside the rocket engine from the oxidizer and fuel mixing creates an explosion that forces things away, if you contain that force to a specific direction you then get the equal of that force pushing in the other direction, the exhaust is the backboard as you push off with the explosion
nice trick for a non vacuum chamber with this breathable sealing XD
In the middle it pushes down and on the sides it pushes up you can easy see this :D
next time make a full epoxy chamber (only the output had to sealed perfectly)
newtons 3rd, theres nothing in a vacuum to REACT to a rockets thrust. rockets dont go to "space"
@@darklight2.1 thrust is an applied force, so must come from a body external to the rocket. a vacuum cannot apply an external force so no thrust can be created. see newton's 1st law for proof.
@@darklight2.1 so newton's 1st law doesn't explicitly refer to EXTERNAL force only? are you sure about that?
"Sir Isaac Newton first presented his three laws of motion in the "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis" in 1686. His first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force."
@@darklight2.1 the combustion is internal to the system, clearly, as a rocket engine is classed as an internal combustion engine. and a free body diagram proves a rocket cannot work in a vacuum, nice bluff there. so you're just another nasa shill liar, lying openly about simple physics to uphold nasa lies. never ends with you freaks...
@@darklight2.1 if you can't refute a thing i say just admit it. no need for all the demented shill abuse.

beastman93 I’ve been looking for this comment
There is a problem with this experiment. When fuel combusts, it creates pressure. If it combusts in the vacuum chamber, it creates pressure inside the chamber and there is no longer a vacuum.
That's why the lit blew off the chamber!
A flat earther does not do experiments. They just call experiments done by others as “fake”.
And when they do the experiments, they don’t understand the results and always assume it proves earth is flat.
Not completely true. A small fraction do some poorly thought out experiments. For example, why make a vacuum chamber when you you have a perfectly good vacuum cleaner, and a couch: th-cam.com/video/D-v_K1k8Se0/w-d-xo.html
Flat earthers dont do experiments because their moms forbid them to have sharp things or matches in the basement.
,,complete vacuum"... lol
Isn't the igniter being pushed out from the engine, while in a vacuum, evidence enough?
It would be interesting to see if the amount of thrust is different in a vacuum.
Pity then scale in your first "partial vacuum" test isn't visible.
+Bo Dan oh good point, I thought it was visible, a couple things got left out because I needed to keep this under 20 minutes for YT. I made sure to keep the gauge in the shot for the last test though , if you watch from 10:12 on the gauge reading is shown
Thrist will be lower in a vacuum for two reasons - firstly the gas escapes partly before it is fully burned so less heat, and second at ground level the shape for an efficient nozzle is way different to in a vacuum.
the igniter pushed against the medium of the holder it was in, not the vacuum.
But with no air, no wall, then no movement
We still have some skeptics here. How about a simple change?
- instead of using a rocket engine build a small bomb (nothing huge). Put it in a little plastic easter eggs.
- Then "boom."
- What will happen?
Before the gas "creates an atmosphere" in the chamber, one half of the plastic egg will go that way and the other half will go the other way.
The same with a rocket in a vacuum. Half the blast goes into the vacuum. The other half pushes your rocket.
Action - Reaction moves your rocket.
not a complete vacuum. NASA cant even make a perfect vacuum
Nor can nature: there's always something there. So what?
Lappan Sommer so its not a conplete vacuum... so that. a complete vacuum is like a unicorn you cant say you've created a complete vacuum without actually creating it. A "near perfect vacuum" would be good but you cant just go around saying you are making a complete vacuum thats a lie
Fair enough; he could certainly turn the hyperbole knob back down to 10
This is bollocks, not very scientific.
MrCHINBAG as someone who used to work with vacuum chambers daily its very annoying to hear people say they created a complete vacuum because if they did that in itself would be a world changing event
you're missing a component NASA uses lox (liquid oxygen ) and yes solid fuel has an oxidizer however the the expansion ratio is vastly different . WARNING; your vacuum chamber is to small /not reinforced enough it will explode .
So far it's inconclusive anyway because the thrust hits the end of the chamber its range is bigger than just the visible flame.
A plane's thrust projects a bus that passes way behind him. Whatever it is made of that's the kind of proportions we are looking at to give us enough push for take off.
The fuel/oxidizers chosen have nothing to do with the ideal nozzle expansion ratio. It is strictly dictated by the exhaust velocity and pressure differential between inside the combustion chamber and space. The difference between atmospheric pressure and the vacuum of space may be small (14.7 psi), but it is significant enough that rocket first stage nozzles for use in the lower atmosphere have a different expansion ratio than those designed for upper atmosphere or space use.
No worries, mate ! Moon is now in Earth's atmosphere.

Nice. I am not fully convinced by these results though. We need a test like this done in a giant vacuum chamber using the same size rocket to settle this argument once and for all.
he should just used a slingshot inside a vacuum chamber and control the triggering of the slingshot remotely.
