You can make the nozzle bigger for more expansion of the hot exhaust gases up to the point where the exhaust gases are at ambient pressure in the atmosphere or vacuum in space. You can't expand more than the ambient pressure and produce any thrust.
Good Morning. Great update on the science of the engine. Definitely pushing the laws of physics. The faster the burn rate. The greater the thrust. I'm sure SpaceX is developing more exotic materials. They will also figure out a way to make it cost effective. That's the mentality the have adopted to get as far as they have. They know no boundaries. That's driving NASA crazy. NASA used to think they had a corner on technological space market. You can bet if SpaceX continues to 3-D printing to make parts. They will develop a faster and more cost effective method in this market as well. Elon Musk is fun to watch. In one of my last lives. I programmed and made turbine wheels for turbo chargers. So I totally understand what you are talking about. It's fun to watch how what I used to do is somewhat outdated. Great Episode. Have a Great Day my Friend.
Hey there! Good morning! 🌞 Thanks for the awesome comment! It's super exciting to see how SpaceX is really pushing the boundaries of rocket science. The Raptor engine is a game changer, especially with that full-flow staged combustion cycle you mentioned. It's wild how they’re using cryogenic methane and liquid oxygen to boost efficiency and thrust! I totally agree-SpaceX's approach to 3D printing and exotic materials is going to shake things up in the aerospace industry. They’re definitely on a mission to make space travel more affordable and accessible. And yeah, it’s pretty amusing how NASA must be feeling the heat with SpaceX's relentless innovation! Also, it's cool to hear about your background in turbine wheels for turbochargers! Technology evolves so fast, doesn’t it? What used to be cutting-edge can seem outdated in no time. Anyway, thanks for sharing your insights, and I hope you have an amazing day too, my friend! 🚀
The pace of development in rocket engines is just hard to believe and to see ! Now leading to my next question the space x team players do they sleep or eat like the rest of the planet ? Saying rocket engines are near limit of physics what about the team players ! Eating fruit loops goes only so far ! Happy new year to all .
Only problem lv got is they will have to stop because the rocket will rip itself apart. Last one they have to reduce throttle because the rocket was shaking too much
Look, what happens, if you have competent Leadership and the right people in development! Isn‘t it amazing? We are wasting a LOT of potential cuz of Inkompetent leadership…
This channel has no idea what they're talking about. you have two 3D print the combustion chamber and a lot of the parts because it has integrated cooling channels in them that you cannot get unless you 3D print
Why cant this country stop showing how our equipment..work ...you know CHINA RUSSIA are reading these posting stop showing how we do things ever hear of National Security ...or as WW2. Loose Lips Sink SHips shut up
Relax dude… do you really think that no superpower have some insiders…. ? They have certainly much more information than those presented in this small video
They'll be guessing in many aspects, the coolant flow to cool the engines SpaceX uses will have em guessing and trying all to no avail, lol. SpaceX is years ahead of everyone. The whole rocket industry is on notice.
I know what you mean but I've never ever been part of the build or the thought process right down to launch pad even all the up grades that move along that I scarcely keep up to I can say thank you elon I do feel part of the program the space above my shoulders has real information fuel so much so that I bet my next kid born is thinking way past daddy in that what is that worth ? Transparency like never before is what the food nutrition in fact going To keep us all moving forward TOGETHER !
Somebody said it has already been flown on Flight 7, but I understand the flight is for the 13th or 16th at most. Not only that, splash down in Indian Ocean was perfect and cargo, Links, dispensed. So me I don't know, Ogga[African for boss]
Elon has a trick or two up his sleeves. China may be marching forward with Long March, but mechazilla tower or not, re-use is SpaceX's game, so too,price point. They know how protect info, Nasa has bagged a couple of spies so let's NOT FEAR. Copying IS NOT Prowess. America also STEALS, ykwim, yep!@.

Interesting point! That’s a very important factor to consider.
23+ million pounds of thrust with 35 current motors... Goodbye Earth, Mars here I come! Ray
🚀🚀🚀
Unfortunately, what you really need is an Isp in the thousands. A roundtrip Mars mission is impossible with these Isps
Has anyone tried a reduction ball joint for more fuel with increased pressure

If Brits could deliver their famous Skylon engine, which I understand ran out of money, that would be a great accomplishment.
Pretty sure, "Plow Rate" at ~6:20 should be "Flow Rate"
AI voice. FIrst says Raptor 4 is about to be released. Then says could SpaceX be designing something above raptor 3

LOL ! I hear ya. Yeah, it's called youthful enthusiasm. They get to play with rockets! I'm 70, and I wish I could work there.
I just checked, Physics is not broken....click bait
Where did you check? Oh! You didn't! Your comment is also click bait.
plz give metric numbers, no one says 20 million walnuts. Tons ? How about tons, its still 10% off but better than nuts and acorns
I will do this, thanks your feedback
Use squirrels instead😊
You can't break the physics limit.

I will find more about this, thanks

Let them tinker with their copies and watch them fail. Like the orange peeler and the flashlights from the penny stores.
LMFAO, you got it, Mr New Robot

Space X will not get humans to Mars.
Raptor 3 hasn't been used, now raptor 4 is online? Anyone else smell garbage 🗑️ from this channel?
