I suggest we ditch the saying "it's not rocket science" and replace it with "it's not quantum mechanics"
I prefer."It's not like trying to figure out what a girl actually means from what she said."
That's a good idea considering rocket science isn't that hard to understand these days.
It ain't rocket surgery
Quantum physics???

They explain this in lore. Its really difficult to be in a dogfight without sound. You have no awareness of the location of the enemy, so ships have sensors installed that track the location of ships, then speakers mimic the sounds of lasers and engines. Its one of those "read the books" kind of facts.
You learn something everyday!
+Max Moody i learned how to pull someone pants without being notice
woah, cool fact
the less i knew
We may have TIE's, but we don't have TIE FIGHTERS!!
+asgart16 Pfft I bet NASA could put a laser on one of those spacecraft no problem.
Kyle Hill I wonder how much a laser (that could actually do something in terms of destruction) would negate the acceleration of an Ion engine...
+asgart16 that's why you angle the laser to fire in the same direction as the ion beam!
+Kyle Hill hmm that could work, but what use would the laser have then? ;)
+asgart16 once enough momentum is gained, that laser would make the TIE more like a dart piercing anything in its path
Hey so yeah, I was really sick this episode and yeah, I said the wrong number (again). Sorry about that. The correct value is 320,000 kph though.
Kyle, sorry to hear you're not feeling well man.
Do ion engines have the highest specific impulse when you include some kind of matter / anti-matter engine? I thought that would be virtually 100% efficient since all the fuel (matter and anti-matter) is converted directly to energy. Just curious...
The use of anti matter changes the drive since with anti matter you are colliding opposites at each other destroying both for the byproduct being energy.

Well, it has the highest specific engine of any engine that has been actually constructed and tested.

I was just watching futurama
I saw a Thai fighter once, does that count?
Holmesy87 ffs
Andrew Pestana =D
Sagat or Adon?
put the engines on him then hes official lucas film property
Island Tropics well, now he's Disney property. Sadly.
I keep thinking he's Thor
He is thor just on a surfing vacation
Lol, i was thinking the same until I saw this comment
Eh, we have TIE ships. They aren't Fighters yet.
Slap some guns on them and we're good to go.
I don't know... the fact that they exist means someone is fighting for something...
@@HolyknightVader999 After firing the guns, the engine's thrust would be easily counteracted...
We can have a goddamn TIE frickin Star Destroyer so eh.
0:44 I like to think the Ion emissions causes an interference in neighboring radio receivers, and thats what the rebel pilots hear when they cross a TIE.
+Kanchide Works for me.
+Kanchide Though that is a really cool explanation, we also hear it when nobody else is there but the audience. (For example a scene in Ep. VI where the camera zooms in on Palpatines throne room and two TIE come swooping by.) As with all Sci-Fi's, they didn't care about the silence in space. But I can hardly blame them, silent space battles wouldn't be nearly as cool. :D
my explanation is always just that sensors read what's going on and simulate sounds to increase situation awareness.
***** that is true, but its fun to make up things.
This video. I like it. ANOTHER!
That's not funny. I don't get why anyone thinks it's funny to write or anything else like it.
It is try hard and stupid.
+AdventureThroughLife its not supposed to be try harding or anything, its too express ones actions during RP which is sometimes used in a joke.
+AdventureThroughLife Because the host looks like Thor.
+Beagán :D This isn't an RP forum.
But if it tickles your fancy, be my guest.
AdventureThroughLife Its because the host looks like thor, I'm not starting a fucking RP you twot
it's weird when you stop talking while you write, but then overlay a voice of what you're writing
We’ve since had Tie Fighters, they were called Stukas.
Haha, just a few minutes ago I was listening to their engines and instantly thinking of Stuka sirens
@Kyle: If I remember right, the TIE fighters are so fast and nimble because they have nothing. No life support, no shields, nothing but steel, engines and blasters. The pilots need dedicated suits so they can breath in their TIE fighters. So, they have much less weight to them compared to other ships. And, I guess they just have stronger, more futuristic Ion engines to boot?
Who would want a fighter who cant even win, at most, it can TIE.
crewcutter2030 these comments have came to a tie
"it produces a lot of thrust" giggity
+skildren We see what you did there. 😏😏😏
+Nerdist how does bb8 work next video
Lmao bruh
Kyle Hills C'mon man you knew that had to happen. Heck I was half expecting you to say it.
well we have TIE craft, but if they aren't meant to fight, are they really TIE fighters?
same reason jets are sometimes called jet fighters they are meant for combat I mean yes they are air crafts but they are specifically made for combat I dont think you would see some one just driving this to their way to work would you?
oh shit sorry thought you were talking about star wars tie fighters I'm dumb
They fight the limitations of conventional terrestrial rocket engines.
32,000 or 320,000? Your video disagrees with your voice.
BlinkZX6R 320,000
Not so much related, but… Kyle Hill ***** about ships, the new Independence Day trailer and Atmospheric entry. We see all the shock layers, temperature rising, hypersonic velocity… in the new trailer those ships look very, very, very big what the effects in Earth? I mean… oxygen will be consumed, CO2/CO produced, shock waves and the "fun stuff".
I was just wondering… :)
Oooooh, we'll definitely put this on the list of things for a future episode!
+PratoFundo I would be more concerned about gravity field of that ship itself.
br?
Frank Serial No. 040897 Oh, that too. But enter the "fun stuff" realm hahahahah
+Nerdist do the science of how strong One Punch Man is XD lol
So could ion blasters exist or not?
+Jacob Smith Not sure. I'm not aware of any tech that shoots concentrated globs of ions or plasma.
+Kyle Hill pretty much any particle accelerator is an ion gun. They accelerate protons at relativistic velocities. Also plasma cutters use a beam of plasma to cut through materials and could be considered an ion blaster.
+BrianLocke But those are streams or beams, not bolts of a finite length.
That is a matter of semantics at that point. They are finite in that at some point you stop firing. At what length does it become a bolt? The point is that they accelerate ions at a target. They are a in essence a gun.
-Tries to falsify Kyle via semantics
-Attempts to verify his argument with semantics.
Don't ever change, youtube commentors
That moment when you realize that Kyle is chewvacca with all his hair cutted except from his head
HA HA HA
Entertaining video as always, Kyle! You should do a video on the new EM drives which are able to seemingly create thrust with no actual fuel. I originally wrote the idea off as a pipe-dream, but I've heard that the design is actually showing success. Thoughts?
+Chris V Thanks for watching, Chris!
+Nerdist You didn't answer his question. Try again.
This is how my science teacher taught me newtons 3rd law :3
3:38 you said 32,000 but wrote 320,000
Except for the "fighter" part. Also of course, the highly maneuverable part and the manned part. Never mind the horrible configuration for those solar panels.
who would win a Thai fighter or a tie fighters
Dylan porter Thai fighters are beasts, but a tie fighter would definitely win
You wrote three HUNDRED thousand kpm, not thirty two thousand. :/ wtf...?
Yes! Love this video, Kyle! Well thought out, no contradictions, focuses on real tech and how it relates to a cultural thing (Star Wars). I'm very impressed. You are still good looking though, fyi...
+Mark Rudy Thank you Mark
Kyle Hill For sure. Thumbs up, as always :)
+Mark Rudy You won't like the next video, but hey, there you go
Kyle Hill Cest la vie! I'll still Thumbs Up it in support of the idea unless it makes me totally rage!
The only reason TIE Fighters could or are real,are due to their design. Seethe inner mechanisms are quite simple,as gravity pulls you down,the ION engine could be forcing it up. With another ION engine propelling it forward. However,the mass,would be to great for the outer ship. Meaning that the first ION Engine,is pointing at a 29 Degree angle. As it propels it forward and up at the same time,however,when it reaches a certain speed,the engine,in a way,will supress itself for a brief second or two. As it shifts from the angle to a completely straight engine,meaning that the Fighter,is now going straight. But by that time,it is going so fast,that gravity is barely affecting it. But the rudders,or turning system,is quite complex.
The rudders have to be on top,and bottom of the sides,so it can actually pull up,and turn. The way by turning it,is by having separate levers,and a button to make it one lever. As each lever controls a different side. Then when it becomes one lever,there are buttons on it to control the both,right separately,left separately,and to go up and down. It needs to feature oxygen tanks so the pilot can breathe,as the speed,would almost make you loose all your air.
My head hurts now.
lol, the dubs when he's writing
Chris Hemsworth long lost twin
and Brad Pitt
+Arc Gen That was my first thought exactly. :D
Do you have cold during filming that vid? The video is great though as always. (y)
Hey Kyle can you find out how much force there is in one of Saitama's punch from One Punch Man?
+Phoenix Wrath hmmmmmm maybe!
+Kyle Hill do it!
+Kyle Hill do it
+Phoenix Wrath For now, we know that his punches are fast enough to produce a lot of heat.
Samuraiedge2, yes, but that still don't explain how much force there is in one of his punches
Omg there is such a easier way to make a Tie Fighter
Step 1: Grab a tie.
Step 2: tape a laser pointer on the tie.
Step 3: Turn on the laser pointer.
Step 4: Find someone who hates Star Wars.
Step 5: ATTACK THEM WITH THE TIE FIGHTER!
how do u write backwards like its easy
Clorox Bleach Can I have a cup of you?
I'm not sure it's how he does it but I would just write normally, then flip the video. Work smarter, not harder.
Why use KPH instead of km/h? Wouldn't that be something like Kelvin.Pascal.Hydrogen? Americans are weird... great video though!
Oh we have TIE ships but NOT FIGHTERS! The ones we made are not armed unless you count the engines.
Christ Almighty, why do people keep going on about there being no sound in space? Obviously you're watching the fight from the perspective of an autonomous recon drone deployed at the beginning of the battle, and sound effects are added in realtime to help the intelligence analysts intuitively comprehend the video feeds from the recon drones. It's not that complicated guys!
Well honestly it's not hard to imagine how an ion engine could have grater acceleration, you simply have to increase the number of ions it spits out and or the speed they're spit out at. That said you may have trouble getting it to the point it could match a TIE fighter's acceleration and maneuverability.
Nerd Alert: If you wanna go there, the Twin Ion in TIE refers to the power generator. The sublight motor that propels them is similar to every other engine. They just use a different power generation method.
This is assuming that advanced, alien tech doesn't allow their ion engines to accelerate fast enough to pull those kinds of maneuvers; our version of ion engine tech is arguably relatively basic.
THOR IS SICK! OH NOES!
hope you feel better than you sound duude!
think about gasoline engines for cars from the begining till now... now imagine ion engine getting to that point of increased power. so yeah its very posible ... but not now captain obvious. but later yes it will be.
what if it also used the magnetic feild to push the ship it forward using electric archs through a iron funnel shape there for using newtons 3rd law
what if the engine is always on so when you need the trust its just tere. boom noble pirze!
Not a tie fighter because they aren't militarized...
You could call it a TIE Transport though
The ships in Star Wars makes sounds in space because they are not really sounds, they are only perceived that way. It is in fact (and by fact I meant fantasy) the emitted transmissions that are a byproduct of the power source(s). In effect they are a radio esque emission. OK, OK, this is total BS that I just made up but lets us enjoy the fantasy while enjoying our favorite Sci-fi.
the sound of tie fighters are just like the dive bombing of stukas
in order to counteract the acceleration problem... couldn't it be a hybrid chemical/ion engine? Chemical fuel for acceleration and swift movements, and Ion engines for speed maintenance and fuel conservation? going to admit that I don't know a tonne about rockets and shit, but that makes sense to me.
"32, 000 km/h"
>Writes 320, 000 km/h
Starts using fuel, and turns with it, but uses tie engines to sustain the flight?
what if you used something else to kick it off then let the ion engines do the rest ?
+Kyle Hill feels like im back in my ARO propulsion class lol (kind of)
He said 32,000 but wrote 320,000. I noticed that, you guys. That was me who noticed. I did.
+mickey gray I caught that too. It was at 3:30 in the playback. Which one is it? I'm guessing 32,000kph.
I love how even while he is geeking out, Kyle still manages to out geek himself with something else, ie his mini tangent on the sound of the TIE fighters :)
I didn't know Thor had a TH-cam channel
Well, since we *technically* have TIE fighters, our next step in space exploration is to work on the military, but on a galactic scale quite yet.
but first we have to make them MUCH more powerful.
So he writes backwords this whole time or is this editing??
We don't have TIE Fighters, we actually have TIETV (Twin Ion Engine Transport Vehicle) because it doesn't fight.
+FyreReaper TIETV sounds like a horrible STD.
Sounds like Kyle is sick. It would've been funny if Dan Casey dubbed over Kyle's voice.
i've had because science videos running in the background for about an hour now and thought the same when this episode came on.
Hey Kyle, Awesome episode. Being that we're seeing more Dong of Justin these days I was wondering if you could do an episode on how Kryptonian powers work. I know that there are many schools of thought on this one, but would love to get your take on everything from solar absorbent skin cells to just how they fly. And I can't just accept the whole, "it's jumping" explanation because they hover, they change direction ... There must be more to it! Sorry a bit of nerd rage there, I apologize and hope to see an episode like that in the future. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Tris-Cuit of the House of Nerd
32,000 kph but you wrote 320,000😂
Your profile picture is illuminati confirmed.
TIE fighters are actually pretty quality made. For their lack of shields, they're at least twice as maneuverable as an X-Wing, even being able to fly backwards and straight up SIDEWAYS
We have tie fighters...except they're not actually fighters or have any similar weaponry or weaponry of any description. 0_o
At the very least we know they have anti-gravity and gravity generators. If they can nullify the effects of gravity on a ship then not only are those flying feats possible, but trivial if you can generate and nullify gravity itself. Those gravity generators would have to effect the behavior of mass in their area of effect, perhaps they are increasing the mass of the exhaust while in the thruster assembly (Even smaller maneuvering jets) which could drastically juice up the available trust provided. Once outside of the thruster assembly the mass my be reduced back to normal which would explain why when these future ships are taking off and landing they aren't creating massive wakes behind them. Then the Falcon takes off the amount of wind we see is vastly less then we'd expect. This makes sense since the shields system ships have appear to have a kinetic nullifer\dampener which may work by quickly trying to reduce the mass of objects impacting the shield. This would still make stopping\impeding plasma weapons since the consequence of being able to reduce or increase the mass of an object effects e=mc^2, if they are reducing mass they are in turn reducing energy. The question is (assuming conservation is obseved) what does the shield and thrust systems do with the converted mass? Does it in turn help power the shield and ship itself, is it converted and stored then laster vented, etc.
We actually DON'T have TIE Fighters. We have Ion Engines, that's it.
We have TIE's but not TIE fighters
Darkfang 27 If you put two Ion Engines connected and parallel to each other, then yeah you have a TIE.
Well Tie fighters don't even have to have ion engines. They can use petrol for all we care, cause a tie fighter is (as the name suggest) a fighter interceptor flying vehicle. These are specifically by their design not meant to do long distance flights but be as manoeuvrable and fast as they can. WW2 fighters and even modern jets have about 1/2 hours of fuel. That's why they need aircraft carriers, to reduce the distance from battlefield and allow longer combat capability. What about fusion power? It generate a lot of heat and energy for centuries, how about using that to propel.
XD everything is drawn very amazing then he writes 1959
Love this series just subscribed.
Also... 320,000
From the mouth of Ralph McQuarrie, the concept designer:
“These ships are all powered, at least in my mind, by a system for harnessing gravity. It’s based on the idea that outerspace is not a vacuum, but filled with superfine particles we cannot detect, which carry microwaves, radio waves, and light. Basically it’s the same as the 19th century concept of ether. The particles are drawn to high-density masses, such as planets and stars, and it is their pushing down upon the surface of these objects which creates gravity.
“If it were possible to acquire a small piece of super dense matter-like that found in a black hole-and shield it from the ether by enclosing it in a totally insulating box, you could harness perpetual motion. Lifting one side of the container would allow the ether to enter along a single, controlled axis, generating an inverse jet propulsion while adding to the gravity core’s mass and power. At least that’s how mine works. Speed would be a matter of regulating the ether flow.”
-The Making of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
Waitwaitwaitwait.... ION uses plasma.... uses magnetic fields... so basically couldnt we make lightsabers using minature ion engines?
Yea we could build a TIE Fighter...with an ION Engine, solar panels and everthing...but...would crash pretty fast.
We don't have TIE fighters... They were TIE ships, but we didn't mount laser cannons to make them actual fighters... Or did we....?
I thought "TIE" stood for "The Imperial Empire".
??? Haha
Makes sense
I thought tie was because it looks like a bow tie
Steven Diaz Now that also makes sense lol
imperial empire, kingly kingdom
Technically we don't have TIE fighters because TIE fighters shoot so we have something like TIE flyers

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Okay.....you have become my new favorite youtuber....... I wish my science teachers could be this animated!
we don't actually have TIE fighters. we have TIE spaceships, but they aren't fighters. because logic
This sounds like EARLY jets. They could go fast, much faster then prop planes of the time, but, for example, I will be using the Messersmitt Me262. It took a while to get up to the speeds that props could not match in level flight, whereas the props, coming off of a runway, will take off MUCH faster then the Me262. And now, jet engines are so advanced, we are having them takeoff straight up! This is just the exact same thing! After a while, we will have refined the design to where it CAN do these things! HAVE HOPE! A NEW HOPE FOR TIE FIGHTERS!!!
Ummmmm, so are the ions leaving the engine at 32,000 kph or 320,000 kph? Aloud, you said 32,000 but you wrote 320,000 on the glass. Both are fast... I'm just curious which speed is correct. Thanx.
.... Wouldn't what we have technically be a TIE transport? Or TIE Cargo? Because no lasers or defensive measures?
The reason TIE Fighters are able to engage in Atmospheric Flight is because they have Magnetic Based Armor. With Magnetic Based Armor, which functions as another type of Shield, where it could Grab Air Particles to Move & Maneuver. As a Shield, it is Capable of Blocking & Deflecting Micro Particles, but nothing as big as the Rocks around Hoth (Star Wars: the Empire Strikes Back).
So in short, we don't actually have tie fighters in real life......but have technology similar, or something.......
Well, we don't have TIE "fighters," we have TIE craft. Current TIE craft can't even fight gravity.
This is like rocket science for dummies "It looks like they are going INTO the ground, but they are really goin upwards" OMG DIDNT SEE IT COMING
At 3:40 he says 32,000 KPH but he wrote 320,000 KPH. Which is right Kyle?
P.s. love these "Because Science" videos
Actually, Gene Roddenberry beat George Lucas to the punch in referencing ion engines. During the original Star Trek (1966-1968), Kirk and his crew came across an unknown species that primarily used ion propulsion instead of impulse engines (basically advanced fusion rockets).
Hmm the sound huh?? Well what we know of the TIE?? They are improved fighter than the reveldes ships, probably the technology of their generators are similar but more powerful, like comparing am i7 with a Pentium IV. We also know that TIE produce a similar sound in space and on earth, in fact considering the distances in a space battle, we could be said that they are "listen to more distance" in the space than being on a planet similar to Earth. My explanation (I´m not a physicist or something like that) is that the panels of the TIE release a type of radiation that propagates without limitation in vacuum, but in contact with the atmosphere of the cockpit of a starfighter reduce their frequency, ie, acquires a longer wavelength and releases energy in the form of vibration. This vibration in turn causes mechanical wave that "transports" this surplus of energy through an elastic medium, it´s air, and are picked up by our eardrum that interprets wave like "sound”...
I couldn't understand any of the stuff about ions. I'm not a rocket scientist 🙁 but hey, it's just a SCIENCEEEEE THEORRRYYYYY
TIE-Fighters are using Repulsorlift technology, that's what makes them being able to maneuver and even fly at all in atmosphere without any aerodynamic stuff.
Yes we have TIE ships, but not TIE fighters. The ships that NASA made are not fighters, but just normal ships that have Twin Ion Engines.
They DO exist, however they're... slow to accelerate? understandable. What if they (TIEs) were using some type of miniaturized particle accelerator? Would that make the charged atoms get all excited and leave even faster? Also regarding those crazy maneuvers its easy: 3D Vector Thrusters. And maybe tiny thrusters about the ship.
Maybe they are shooting out a crap ton of ions. Like, 6469696946996945835725727524717158465004862643625838624653583584864473957383020485757919384748239482829203944839201038474728385748283848437289293473829294847373838482829939393030393938372717191910304938828382819103948438190101910+e10 ions
Wouldn't the sound from the the TIE fighters be heard when flying low, while within a planet's atmosphere?
Also: we have TIE spacecraft, but I'm not sure about the "fighter" part :1
well, what if first launching a rocket with traditional fuels to get it to outer space and then utilizing the ion engine?
for example a saturn V rocket has a end velocity (all fuel is burned) of 8.600km/h (src:wikipedia), can the ion engine start at that speed increasing the velocity further from that point? would save a couple of weeks/months of speeding up
Don't give Lucas the credit for that... Twin Ion Engine is a backronym. They were originally called tie fighters because they looked like bowties.
So what about Ion BLASTERS? Ion weapons in video games and movies, especially Star Wars, are weapons you use against robots/droids. In video games, Ion weapon attachments for droids is like fire attachments for flesh based races or plants.
3:43 32 thousand or 320 thousand? RIPerino, yes I'm nitpicky like that , nice video thought :)
We have TIE's though. Not fighters... because, our spacecrafts are not designed to fight...
TIE Transport would be more acurate since NASA's spacecraft are not designed for combat which the TIE Fighter is.
Dude! You did it again! you wrote 320,000 KPH, but you said 32,000! Just read the script...
