Propane and compressed air?! Dude that is awesome. I should have known you could get those kind of results with air only oxidation and enough input pressure but I just never considered it.
Wow, I was just saying he should test that Starlite from your channel, and I didn't even notice you were right under my comment haha!
@@3000gtwelder It would punch through starlite I'm sure, not because of the heat but because of the pressure blowing the carbon away
I’d like to see u take a crack at making a rocket engine
@@tannerwatson1216 i expect that would wind up much less hazardous too
Well he was starting with 49 horse power worth of compressed air and then dumped a ton of chemical energy on it as fuel.
Edit did the math, and he could be putting out 62.88 horsepower in total with the kerosene if the compressor was at full throttle.
Some questions for Part 2:
- The result of the different nozzles.
- A measurement comparing force output with and without ignition.
Very little force comes from the air compressor relative to combustion. Because he can control the amount of chamber pressure he can just dial it in to suit whichever nozzle he's using whereas in a flyable rocket motor everything is calculated and defined beforehand to match.
Plus maybe using a liquid oxidizer, or would that be too dangerous?
@@randomname4726 I'm not so sure. You are probably right, but I feel like there's a possibility it's like 30% compressor - 70% combustion. That air compressor is a serious piece of equipment, and you can cut through all sorts of stuff with just the air compressor. I have no frame of reference for the combustion.
@@doubledoot yeah liquid oxygen could make grease in your seals explode. Also you can't buy that stuff but have to freshly distill it from the atmosphere with buyable liquid nitrogen. And by using 100% oxygen instead of atmosphere 80%nitrogen 20%oxygen it will get much hotter, melting your engine withing seconds if you don't have a good cooling concept
@@Dee-nonamnamrson8718 Looks like I'm wrong, he says in other comments that it's about 50% with just air. I'm shocked, I've used these compressors and while they do put out a lot of air the speed is nothing compared to the rocket motor.
The backyard scientist is becoming more aggressively unhinged every year and it's fantastic
Before you know it he will have made a ballistic rocket aimed at the capital.
@@winterinvicta He did make solid rocket fuel recently, soo. . . 2 months?

I love how intelligent these guys are, and yet they hammer in some screws. I love it.
@@theyeetus1428 I… didn’t? I literally poked fun at them for hammering in a screw XD
Also I’d like to see this other TH-camrs vids if they’re similar- do you have their channel name so I can check it out?

They are smart. But they also are florida men.. 🤣
Those are super impressive results for how crude the design is

Something the DOOM guy has on his bed stand
Two only fans bots in the same section
I love how everyone in the comments is looking down on his rocket design,
like any of you guys could build something better.
@Instagram User cringe
That was IMPRESSIVELY stable combustion for a DIY project. Well done! It'd be interesting to see one with acetylene, if you are brave enough.
*one bomb later*
Not possible acetylen is instable at high pressure.
He even made shock diamonds. Impressive
Why would it be risky it's literally just a torch.
@@patman0250 a torch would never be able to do that:
Shock diamonds, while cool, mean that the nozzle is over expanding the exhaust. Try using a nozzle with a smaller bell and you will get even more thrust.
@@dionh70 just did. He says the exact same thing
I was gonna mention this. Thanks for doing so.
Another thing is that if the nozzle is too overexpanded, it could have actually exploded/
This is so frickin cool ! I really wanna try this !
please ! would be cool to see your designs for rocket nozzles put to use here.
The metal enclosure and nozzle is holding up really well
Can't wait to see your 3D printed version
NEXT VEDIO IDEA PLEASSEE
@@theautoanswerman8063 Yea 3D printing in this pressure not an option, Or is it🤔🤭
Ok amazing build but SLIGHTLY TRIGGERED BY THE HAMMERING OF SCREWS. 😫 EDIT: Ok the result was insane though :#
My exact thought
Ha ha, yeah, I feel like they did that just to mess with us.
@Instagram User ????
@Instagram User yep, that took a dark and homophobic turn.
Someone once told me screws only have a slot in the top so you can get them back out again 😂
My dude, if you have to feed compressed air into the system, you haven't made a rocket. You've made something even harder. You've made a glorious ramjet.
nope
...no, it's just a jet engine. The defining characteristic of a ramjet is lack of compressor
If you want to consider the engine compressor as part of the jet engine, you could call it a motorjet.
Otherwise, it's a rocket, that uses a compressed air rather than say liquid oxygen.
A ramjet uses forward momentum of the craft to compress air by sheer force of speed.
I'm genuinely concerned for his safety
Dude has big Florida man energy and I cannot believe he has not been seriously injured. Especially from the videos of blowing up aquariums with boiling salt!
That emoji
@@Vitafiend that emoji
where'd you got that emoji
WHERE DID YOU GET THE EMOJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!
The engine is cool, but can we take a moment to appreciate that we just witnessed a grown man hammer a screw into a piece of wood like a nail. Just take that in.
thats why I'm in the comments lol
It's also known as a Manchester screw driver

@@vhsone8392 "Scientist" is a very loose descriptor. Very, very loose.

Hi
Don't forget plastic gloves that could easily melt to his skin
Imagine hiding in a metal bunker and then just hearing an ear piercing sound and the wall just slowly gets shot away
" i discovered a bolt on the launch pad hope its not important" 2 days later they test the rocket at the launch pad just falls over
No But it did blow up eventually!😂 (not before doing 4 backflips)
What is missing is a static force test comparing the thrust of just the air, vs running. That would show just how well, or not it is actually working
I was just about to comment this
Totally agree. How much thrust is the fuel adding. Also, O2 instead of compressed air.
@@douganderson7002 You have never seen a high CFM compressor before I guess. A sandblaster would blow the trees around just like that. We know it’s adding something we want to see how much the fuel is adding.
aren’t the shock diamonds proof enough
@@aawagga6841 Yes it's adding something. The question is how much.

The dog sitting at the computer with the tin foil hat had me laughing so hard. I don't usually watch the mini commercials but I'm glad I did here. So funny.

"This experiment cost a LOT... sooo"....
BEST slide into an ad that I have ever seen 🤣
Just a word of caution from an aerospace major; if you copy this video, come to terms with losing your hands before you drill a single hole. Liquid rocket engines have killed a plethora of incredibly smart people, they should not be taken lightly
Great video as always
6:04 Rock eyebrow raise
"I just Eyeballed it" is what you wanna hear from someone building a rocket
It's not that much worse than the NASA way. "We kept fiddling around until they stopped blowing up."
he wasn't building a rocket just the engine, fuel source was far away from it which makes it much less dangerous
Those things you see in the jet flame are called "dancing diamond" by the air force and are a sign of a healthy jet engine.
0:35
Time traveler: Where am I?
TheBackyardScientist: The 1960's ofcourse!!
I don’t know what I’m more impressed at. The fact you have all your fingers, or the fact you made your own rocket engine 😂
I mean
All you need is rocket fuel so
Kinda over complicated tbh
But I'll let yall think this is cool
It's so cool to see that basically the hardest part of science is coming up with something.
It took centuries to get us to planes, then years to get us to jet engines, and now, less than a 100 years after first real jet engine plane, you can make one in your backyard.
I am so excited to see more episodes from your channel. I love the Science Boys. TH-cam would be terrible without you guys!
@@giselle8924 these bots are annoying
@@trippsimon8916 Yeah, they seem to be on every channel almost.
I’d be willing to donate a significant amount of money towards getting you and Explosions&Fire to do a collaboration
Been watching your stuff since I was a kid. I feel a little disappointed coming back as a grad student in aero engineering and realizing that I have surpassed your science knowledge
4:21 Get yourself a partner that talks about you in the same way thebackyardscientist talks about the diesel air compressor
I remember when The Backyard Scientist was mostly about Oobleck and molten aluminum. Now it's "hey, we built a rocket and an induction heater to melt steel" and I gotta say, I'm all for it!
Also he looks like he gets more sleep nowadays compared to like 2 years ago and i'm all for hafing fun while haffi g good work life balance
I love watching Kevin’s progression from Kid from science class doing experiments at home to brilliant controlled chaos.
Noice rocket engine. U should use pure oxygen as the oxidiser instead as it is waaay more efficient
"I am covered.. in meat.." * Skeleton inside me: "Don't tell him.." *
LOL
Love all the sparks randomly flying out the engine every now and then showing its slowly canibalizing itself
0:06 Science Boys what the heck
I feel like it would've been much cheaper to just get some oxygen bottles from airgas.
Also...graphite nozzle or something.
I do love that you made a rocket engine and used it to cut stuff.
It's never cheaper or easier when airgas is involved.
It would be interesting to know what the thrust differential is by running compressed air only and the fuel added thrust. How much more performance come from the combustion. I loved the video. Thank you
Integza: FOCUSES TENS OF HUNDREDS OF VIDEOS ON IMPROVING HIS ROCKET ENGINE TECH

Congratulations Kevin. You have made TH-cam a better place yet again.

@@theyeetus1428 he was open about it tho

@@theyeetus1428 He gave credit where credit was due. I respect that. Plus, it's not like that other guy invented that kind of engine design...this technology has been around longer than TH-cam. So if anything, they BOTH stole the design. Also, you should probably have your facts straight: the other channel is by no means small (over 1 million subs, and over 1 million views on that video).
@@How2Bboss truth
@@How2Bboss coz he dono to weld and don't have a lath in hand

This video was awesome. And a fun fact for you guys, so my job is Thermal Spraying. We pretty much use the same technology to superheat, melt, and then accelerate tungsten carbide. We then coat metal parts to apply tungsten carbide and create a hard wear resistant surface.
The gases we use are compressed air of course. Propylene and pure oxygen. It makes a super hot rocket flame with tons of shock diamonds.
That's insanely cool, dude! Love these high-risk high-heat experiments! The fact that you were able to make an amateur rocket engine that easily is pretty cool, especially with those beautiful Mach diamonds!
If I remember correctly though the diamonds are from an inefficient nozel, meaning the exhaust could be a lot more powerful with a little adjusting.
@@youjustlostthegame2028 oh? well i would have no idea whether that's the case or not
@@youjustlostthegame2028 you are correct it is inefficiency from the nozel
5:20 *builds rocket engine, proceeds to hammer screws*

the good old "Trust me im an engineer" move of buiding a working rocket engine and in the next clip hammering some screws into a wooden plank. XD
That exhaust is so beautiful!!!!
Incredible. This is the best project I have ever seen, a brilliantly simple Russian solution. I have not seen a similar compressed air rocket engine capable of such performance. This is the best video ever on this channel Thank you.
@@giselle8924 Get a life
I love how at 6:40 he goes to stick the hot dog right into the exhaust and then realizes that's a very bad idea.
I think he rememvered that steak and he needs his fingers to do more crazy stuff. I was nervous a little when he put the hotdog there so close.
LOL yep thats exactly what happened
I love this channel. I just stumbled upon it. Anyways, hammering screws in made me laugh. Keep it up and by the look of it, as time is going on your videos are getting wilder. LOVE IT

You don't mention it, but if you have issues with your nozzles eroding over time, try using Tantalum alloy, specifically T-222 it is a super high temp metal (higher service temp than Inconel alloys) and is actually frequently used in rocket nozzles. And it is only slightly harder than normal steel to machine. 👍

@Instagram User Bruh you don't even have content!
@@netts2315 it’s a bot
I can't believe you made a rocket engine, and didn't include tomato destruction as an ode to Integza
It's not actually a rocket engine - it's just a kerosene boosted sandblaster from a russian guy.
finding that bolt is so funny given current circumstances at spacex
I’ll be honest I’m pretty sure all of these antics were really really bad ideas. But I’m so freaking happy you did this and shared it with the world. This was awesome
I don't think people come here for "good ideas". I don't think that a DIY rocket engine would ever be considered a "good idea" by most people.. The danger seems real and not acted like electroboom... at least that's why i watch TBS :D
@@chrisakaschulbus4903 There are levels of "unsafe". Riding your bike without a helmet is unsafe. This is suicidal. Rocket engines are just pipe bombs with a hole in the side. Poorly designed ones can and do explode, especially during startup. I've built rocket engines on this scale before, and I always stand at least 100 feet away behind a barrier. The chances that his engine would explode were probably less than 5%, but would you feel comfortable standing next to a bomb that had a 1% of killing you?
@@dawica "but would you feel comfortable standing next to a bomb that had a 1% of killing you?" Uhm, no? That's why i don't do stuff like that... i watch other people do it.
@@gear2902 Yes.
Yes it is, Champ
@@chrisakaschulbus4903 I think it's fine if people want to do things like build DIY rocket engines. The problem is the lack of respect for safety, which is the sort of thing that gets laws made that ruin the fun for everyone. There wasn't even basic safety precautions taken. That rocket engine being laid down and run without strapping it down had me really nervous. Sure, it was a heavy design, but even the compressed air is providing thrust and he was entirely reliant on friction to keep it in place. Even if the friction was enough to keep it from place from the exhaust, what if someone tripped over a hose? It could have been pulled towards them with hot rocket exhaust pointing at an unpredictable angle, potentially causing serious burns. If it were to start running engine rich (melting the engine) it would have spewed molten metal toward their mostly unprotected faces. This sort of stuff can be done for fun safely with some basic precautions but these guys were way too cavalier.
Kevin, you have convinced me to no longer stand behind jet engines anymore, Thank you.
Hol' up.
There goes my plan for Saturday
As long as you hang onto something, you'll be fine behind a jet. Rocket? Not so much
anymore???
Jackass crew: *sweats*
Fun fact: Mach diamonds actually mean that the engine is less efficient than it could be. Ideally, your exit pressure exactly matches the ambient pressure, because this means all of the excess pressure was used to accelerate the exhaust. When the ambient pressure is higher than the exit pressure, the flow turns inward and creates shock diamonds. In rocket engineering nomenclature, this means that the flow is "over-expanded."
The reason you will see Mach diamonds on space-rated launch vehicles is because the pressure varies continuously from the ground into space, so they pick an engine target pressure that is somewhere in the middle to maximize the efficiency. This means that when the engine is firing near the ground, the exhaust will be over-expanded.

Hey give it a go mate!! I do similar.. just never let your excitement get ahead of common sense and you will be fine for the most part you do still need to know stuff otherwise your running into trouble BLIND!!!!. in saying that learn as much as you can and be prepared for as many outcomes as you can, nothing's impossible only improbable.. I say this because I've had a pretty bad run when it comes to loosing people and this stuff for me is like therapy... Time just vanishes like gaming as a kid.. I think you may be someone who likes to use they're brain.. but your day to day is robbing you of the energy hence watching someone do it.. I say get in on this man you got it 😊

So glad you are still alive. The steel rocket motor is really a recipe for months in the hospital or permanent time in the cemetery since it will turn to shrapnel if it explodes, think Clamore mine! If it had exploded, well, just glad it didn't since you didn't seem to test from a safe distance or include any safety processes. I so hope none of your viewer try this. This is the most unsafe thing I've ever seen on TH-cam.

4:44 noted
did this man just make the "im not a rocket scientist excuse''... while building a rocket?
To be fair though he used zero math so yeah...
that rocket wouldn't be able to carry the diesel compressor in to space--it made me appreciate the efficiency that goes in to building lightweight and powerful, engines, compressors and turbo pumps and still have enough thrust to include a payload. Rocket engineers are something else.
Holy that was the smoothest transition into an ad I've ever seen
