750lbf liquid rocket test fire 2

Masten Space Systems XVT-750LIT-1 test firing number 2, at approximately half throttle level.

Fuel is isopropyl alcohol, oxidizer is liquid oxygen. The engine chamber is copper and the jacket is stainless steel. You can see thermocouples installed in ports, as well as the very dirty blast protection frame.

This is in the same trailer as the previous videos of this engine, but much closer.

I was not being completely serious, merely trying to get basic feedback that any person with a project like mine would ask. Also, you did not list the ratios or anything else, I would not either..., But basically I was only trying to figure out how many of them (If I even needed more than one,) it would take to reach the altitude I am looking for. Thank you for taking the post completely serious. But no. I actually know what I am doing, and to the extent I am doing it.

@tytyboo291 I posted the video but not the response you're responding to, it sounded like you were taking his reply as authoritative. In short, no, blueprints aren't available. The thrust is 750lbf as the text says. Later versions run around twice as much.

How do you obtain LOX for use in a rocket? Do you produce it yourself or buy it in large quantities and store it?

[bbrockert]

@thewebmaster93 It's a commercially available industrial product, also used for metal cutting, in hospitals for medical oxygen, and at airports to recharge emergency breathing systems.

Praxair and Airgas are major US companies that sell it, it's available in bulk (like a tanker truck) or in 180 or 230 liter dewars that are delivered and rented out by the companies. A dewar is vacuum insulated and will hold the -300F liquid for quite a few days.

isnt isopropyl alcohol rubbing alcohol? becuase i went crazy with the dollar on fire trick and kinda... never mind......... OK i used a whole bottle. ok you got it out of me.

[bbrockert]

@adadadad95 Yep. Here we're using 99.9% anhydrous isopropanol, rather than the 70% you get in bottles, but it's the same chemical.

@Freeflyer91 Yes I do Freeflyer but they also leave a contrail. Why developping a machine for physical transportation? You can travel from the platform called pineal gland trough time and space with much less afford and no costs at all.To me all combustion engines need way to much fuel to operate.I prefer silent flight.We cannot reach with matter what we can reach with the mind.We where always learned to ignore our true feelings because of fear it could enlighten us.I love machinery anyway.

@jeremiah1st You know shock diamonds are different than contrails right?

[jeremiah1st]

I saw shockdiamonds trails in the upper atmosphere so your rocketengine must be developped by the competition already.

@tytyboo291 if its for a meteorological project i hate to say it but just use a baloon

[crapbag1997]

well thats intresting lol

[donperry1]

Love the sound at the ending
