XCOR XR-5M15 LOX / Methane Rocket Engine

This video features the XCOR XR-5M15 7,500 lb-thrust LOX / Methane rocket engine in a series of short tests strung together in a compilation. This is the 'heat sink' nozzle version of the engine, which is used to characterize engine performance. The results were be used to determine the appropriate length of the rocket engine chamber for the flight-weight / regeneratively cooled version.

Wow where can I get one of these? you can create an enormous magnetical field with an engine like that, the powere is in the diamonds which is your exhaust. Think turbo+neodinium, but most of all , think logic.
