You've done top notch work before, but this is beyond incredible. I'm finally able to understand how the methane header tank gets filled and stays filled. I know about the butterfly valves, and had it mostly figured out, but this seals the deal. And that's just for me - what a resource for everyone interested in Starship, from novice to veteran!
That's exactly what I was going to say! I was going to say this the best video ever of showing plumbing like that It makes total sense and is completely intuitive I think for anyone with this video
I'd love to know why the original design intent of autogenous back pressurisation failed in the fuel header. Did the LOX header work? Or are both headers being temporarily contained with Helium in SN9? Does anyone know?
This is one of the most visually satisfying, space-related videos I've ever seen! It truly captures the beauty and awe of space launch vehicles and of man's inventiveness. Well done!
After engine cutoff, it is "free fall" but air breaking causes a little negative g, so liquids in the tanks will be floating, or slowly rising to the top side. After apogee, the direction of air breaking force and acceleration will turn the opposite, so fluids will go back down. Anyways, amazing video!!! Many thanks!!
Now subscribed! The music and visuals give hope to all as we embark on a new journey towards Space Exploration to the Moon and beyond. This video just gave me the chills! Amazing rendering too. Keep up the good work.
@@grandelDR I defenetly agree with you, that there are so many missinformations, especialy on social media channels who do not usualy talk about rockets. But I think there are a few few people like Scott Manley or Marcus house who do thier research and care about giving correct informations. (I know that on youtube it is over simplified) I am german, sorry if my english is not the best.
It's pretty but not accurate at all. One big mistake is when it's falling in the horizontal position the liquid in the main tanks will not be setting at the bottom/sides of the tanks. The liquid will be floating around inside the tanks because it's in free fall. If you don't believe me read about NASAs Vomit Comet. That's the plane they use to simulate short periods of weightlessness.
@@jcf20010 At the beginning it would float im the tank (not like ik the animation). But after some time Starship would encounter air drag. That is the whole point behind the bellyflop. Starship is decelerating, while the liqiud inside is not, untill it hits the bottom. It would experiens olny a very small portion of earths gravity (not like shown in the video). But I would defenetly not say the animation is "not accurate at all". I dont say it is super accurate. it is just more acurate that any other animation i have seen so far. Also in the NASAs Vomit Comet, the pilot carfully cancels out the air drag, so every thing inside is in true weighlessness.
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! Thank you, @C-bass Productions, for such a great work! Congratulations!!! Amazing the clarity of the piping, liquid motions and overall FX effects!!! It's the most visually clear explanation on fluid dynamics I've seen in Starship animations! Best regards from Portugal.
Oh, my! you did a *FANTASTIC* rendering !!!! WHOA! Thanks alot, since this sequence explained to me the purpose of the "header thank" and the other one for the Methane, and ALSO the need of them while descending !!! Thanks to you all
This video is A W E S O M E How to explain some difficult concepts in an easy way. Very very good! I subscribed to your channel for other insane videos!
Wow,awesome! This also shows how fast progress is on Starship as the Thrust puck already had an upgrade and looks slightly different. I'm sure that there will be some temporary plumbing for Header Tank pressurization which will once again change in the near future.
Absolutely glorious production. The reactions of fuel to gravity in free fall was awesome. The transition to transparent was stunning indeed. So very well done C-Bass. Subed.
Wowza! This is sooooo cool! Thank you for creating this! I had no idea about the configuration of the inside structure or how it all worked. Very insightful!
There are several large pipe inlets into the header tank right at the bottom of the main CH4 tank. I think pipes and valves inside the tank send the main fuel supply into the downtube. Valves can send the header tank contents instead.
Beautifully done. It doesn't seem there are too many SpaceX secrets these days. You would think all anyone would need to duplicate the SpaceX success is the metallurgy, guidance and the Merlin and Raptor engines. Yet, as of this writing no one has ever come close to putting the whole thing together. SpaceX makes it look easy and as observers, some wonder why that SN9 didn't fly last week and why we have to wait another few days:-) Myself, I'm thankful to be apart of it.
You forgot two key systems, the autogenous pressurization system where heated methane is used to pressurize the methane header tank and the interim helium pressurization system (kept in COPV's) to keep the methane under sufficient pressure while they figure out the APS. The oxygen boils off quickly and therefore needs to be vented to prevent over pressure.
The two main pipes running up the side of the rocket are the return lines for the autogenous pressurization system. I don't know enough about SN9's header tank patch to model it accurately.
So the header tank is there to ensure LOX pressure into the engines, even when the starship is sideways and the main LOX tank's fluid is not "on the bottom"?
They're also used to maintain fuel pressure. The first tank (from the bottom) is the LOX main, directly above it is the CH4 header followed by the CH4 main with the LOX header at the very top. The system will likely also be used when they get around to orbital refilling, a good way to defeat 0g sloshing.
@@lachyt5247 Orbital "refilling" is done with acceleration. Hot-gas thrusters will maintain an _ullage_ gradient on the tanks, creating temporary "up" and "down". Then the receiving tanks will vent some vapor to maintain a lower pressure (and temperature), and perhaps the hot-gas thrusters will provide higher pressure (and heat energy) to the supply tanks.
This is amazing work, my dude! SpaceX or other rocket companies would do great hiring you(if you wanted to work for them that is) if not, the work you do is legendary and know that the community appreciates it a lot!

Very Well Done! thanks for showing the key - to be able to tell which is the LOX and the CH4 - where they are flowing/stored.
SpaceX, please hire whoever did this animation. They could be a great contribution to your company.
no..send it to school or stay as youtuber lol
I agree! These visualizations can promote creativity to successful realization of SpaceX ideals.
no...
They know that they don't need to make animations Because fans will do it for them
You do realize they have engineers who design these rockets, right? Pretty sure they have design plans.
Thats how they do it! Thanks man!
T français toi?
in the moment of free falling, wrong animation of gas. it does not work in this way.
just drop transparent bottle with 20% of water in slow motion.

one more.
there no reason to make extra tank just on the top, under head fairing. such design made useless impact to stabilisation, center of mass.

I still don't get why header tank is necessary? Because the main tank is depleted?
@@JaspreetSingh-bh5hc it's a positional thing...when the rocket is horizontal there needs to be a feed to the engines to make it vertical again.
@@damo87araimo AFAIK, the LOX header tank worked fine, so only the methane header tank will be pressurised with helium on SN9.

Hats off to you, that's an amazingly clear animation!
Awesome video! Thanks.
While accending, does the CH3 go through the header tank or around it?
Through. There are valves around the header tank that can close it off from the main tank after ascent.
It's CH4, and we don't really know. It would make sense that it goes through it though.
There are several large pipe inlets into the header tank right at the bottom of the main CH4 tank. I think pipes and valves inside the tank send the main fuel supply into the downtube. Valves can send the header tank contents instead.
