    Another superb video. No need to apologise for your accent, a lot of studies show that this will actually improve the listeners comprehension, as they need to concentrate more to understand every word. Although familiar with some of the technical details that you described, you produce a very coherent explanation, with superb video selection and editing. Thank you!

It's impossible to listen to most of americans youtubers (britts and news are fine, they use some kind of classic english). On other hand - anyone with accent are trying to sound good. And they want other to understand.

Absolutely fascinating and in depth explanations.

  • @khaliffoster3777
    @khaliffoster3777 4 года назад

    To confirm everything: The pressure increase as space diamond is created, so there is a lot of space diamond, that is mig disk. So, there is a series of mig disk which the bottom part is higher pressure as forward V narrows, then go to next mig disk, so all those mig disk is design to hold itself in atmosphere, so the mig disk can expand as forward V expand, and at same time it narrows or further to base line that is nozzle.
    So, it is about balance, so the lower balance which in higher atmosphere as pressure decrease so the pressure of mig disk increase and at same time the inward fire go upward which can cause damage to rocket, so there is a barrier, or no barrier but a separate. So, separate is necessary than a barrier which the rocket can keep going.
    The separate part is 4 engine that is beyond the main engine which separates the main rocket, so it has retro braking which engine itself can increase or not as to goes down which the thrust upward to go down, so it can be controlled to the land down. Upper level, there is a curve line of fire upward, but can alter to go downward.
    What look like explode is a barrier that is separate of rocket which bottom part will go down to prevent inward fire to go upward and damaged it.
    So, the color as it goes up to change from opaque to clear. So, opaque can be high heat, and clear can be higher heat. So, which it is connected to mig disk that is higher opaque at a lower level to higher level that is transparent. So, the fuel is a cause of the fire which causes higher thrust, so burn gases so the fuel can be in a different color. The inner is dark as fuel and outer is regular fire to interact so it burns the inner to cause thrust?? There is a link for two thrusts.
    So, there is no explanation of why cold oxygen is need as fuel? I get it for water as a damp to sound for preventing to rocket. How fast does rocket go base on thrust weight which it is more than 100,000 lbs, to equal how much the weight of a rocket? What is the thrust weight / rocket ratio? The injector fuel, then first thrust to the second thrust, but saw no color. So, the color depends on what kind of fuel right? So, booster thrust is a fire to interact with injector which causes the center thrust to go up with fuel. Well, can you explain it clear? So, there is three processes that are gases as first, to two thrusts which is fire and fuel, so the second is fuel and third is fire?

    My favorite phenomenon, which was not covered here, is a few seconds after takeoff. It's not always visible, but when the turbulent section of the rocket plume is passing by the tops of the clouds of vapor from the launch pad deluge, the rapid pressure changes can make bits of the cloud flicker rapidly in and out of existence, as it vibrates around the dew point.

    You may have the recirculation diagrammed in the wrong direction. I think the inside face of the recirculating torus of gas is travelling toward the front of the rocket, and the exterior face is travelling toward the rear.
    I loved the video. You've done some wonderful research. I would have liked to see something about the flames from the Falcon 9 first stage descending. In particular, Lars Blackmore mentioned that SpaceX employees call the 3-engine retroburn pattern "the Eye of Sauron", and they still aren't sure why it looks like that.
