I've been in fire protection my entire professional life - and I have never seen that huge a volume of water, dispensed that QUICKLY - and over that expanse of an area! The pumps involved must be massive - and typically with "massive", you don't get "instant", so this is fascinating to me.
You right, they would have to be massive but they wouldn't flow that instantly hence that's how you know it's not pumped. It's the entire contents of the nearby water which contains 400,000 gallons/1.5 million liters of water, all of which is discharged in about 30 second which equals a flow rate of 13,300 gallons of water a second!
Just like NASA’s facility at Cape Canaveral California has an ocean right next to it too. Maybe they could look there for a launch platform deluge system supply.
I will give it a about a 4/5 stars. I definitely recommend visiting. The landing was a bit rough, but the ride was a blast. A real adrenaline rush. The trick is to stay in the center for the whole ride.
what you're looking at are actually the connections that will be hooked up to the mobile launcher, the mobile launcher then distributes the water around the rocket to suppress the noise and cool the deck (just like it was for the Space Shuttle) the system is fed by the 290' tall water tower in the background it was installed for Space Shuttle, it was not there for Apollo/Saturn V

Clouds make rain, rain falls, tanks fill with rain, a man opens tanks, tanks release rain as water, water sprays in the air, water falls down, the ground gets very wet, water stops falling, ground drys up, the end.
Water droplets in the air absorb pressure waves from the engines during lift off. The rocket engines are so powerful that they produce sound that can literally rip things apart. When the rocket takes off, all the sound (pressure waves) are directed downwards into the flame trench which is full of water spray. Its stops the sound bouncing off the ground and reflecting back up and damaging the rocket. It also helps keep everything wet and reduce the chance of fires. The launch of the Saturn was so intense, even with the water spraying, that they had to paint all the launch clamps and supports with a white ablative paint that was designed to burn away slowly and thus stop the immense heat from building up and melting everything. Similar to the way an ablative heatshield peels away during re-entry to stop heat building up within the return vehicle.
Laminar flow!! How much pressure is that? And how many gallons? What does the pumping station look like? The piping has gotta be huuge! I see different colors in the water. What chemicals do you use? And what are their purposes? I have so many more questions!! Lol
That's not actually too far from the truth; One of the largest reasons you see a giant white cloud around all of the launches is because there is a layer of water to absorb the shock of the rocket taking off.
Эта система используется для уменьшения чрезмерного нагрева и энергии, генерируемой при запуске ракеты. 15 октября 2018 года была испытана система затопления системы защиты от воспламенения от избыточного давления и шумоподавления на стартовой площадке 39B Космического центра Кеннеди, в результате чего вода попала на глубину около 100 футов. воздух. Испытание является частью подготовки к запуску нашей ракеты Space Launch System в рамках исследовательской миссии-1 и последующих миссий. После предыдущего испытания на текучесть во влажном состоянии в подушку были внесены изменения, что повысило производительность системы. Во время запуска эта система затопления выпустит около 450 000 галлонов воды через мобильную пусковую установку и дефлектор пламени.
Just saw it on facebook. There they showed how in Russia's case they just had elevated the launching pads high above and need no water to be poured. So my question is why doesn't NASA do the same in order to save fresh water from being polluted or wasted?
This is truly unbelievable in how much water is applied and then how quickly it is dispersed and all head pressure. Is this a closed system in that the water is recycled or in the event that an incident occurred would it be contained and reused in a pumping system to help fight a larger fire.
@@yogibear4682 That "little tower" is 290 feet tall. Nearly twice the height of an average municipal water tower. At that elevation the head pressure alone would be 125 psi.
Where is that water stored at? You don't get a million gallons from a 100,000 gal water tower in the background of the video. And it isn't being "pumped" from below... it is being released from a tank.
It flows back into the Atlantic Ocean, which is a couple hundred yards away. Given that it was pumped *out* of the Atlantic in the first place, it's not a big problem. And since this normally only triggers about one or two seconds before engine ignition, and you get weeks or more between launches, they have plenty of time to refill.
This was 450,000 gallons in 1 minute. Niagara Falls pours over 700,000 gallons of water per second. MIND BLOWN!!!!!!
Now we know where Canada should put a launch pad.
@G E T R E K T 905 How are gallons ebonics lol
@G E T R E K T 905 1.7 million liters, since your education also lacks math.
@@Dave-lr2wo we just use a coherent metric system ^^' (also it's better to say 1700m3 of water)

Yes, @dionh70, how is your reservoir set now after your winter snows and rain? Should be briming :-) new report requested.

After watching the SpaceX launch video without using this system, I see why it's necessary.
Yup water deluge play important role on rocket launch..and flame diverter too

Buck Fitches now that’s a great comment! Thanks very much for the explanation!
Waters gravity fed from the water tower-no pumps needed; other then to refill the water tower.
;)
The unsung hero of every launch flight
Its not for the rockets, it is for the launch pad.
We were just there over Thanksgiving Vacation. Very cool bus tour around the facility, not to mention everything at the Visitor Center there!
Would really like to get some specs of those pumps as this is serious hardcore.
No pumps, straight from the water tower!
Imagine you're deaf and you were on the walkway thing when it activated
A lot of dirt came out at first. I guess has not been flushed lately. Just head pressure from the tower tank, impressive.
Good to see progress coming along with the new rockets

The colors in the water are probably from rust and algae.
@@LoanwordEggcorn oh... well thats not as interesting.
There's a water tower in the background I'm guessing it feeds via Gravity from the water tower.

450k gallons

Deathclock fan eh?
Wow! Tanki! Reference? Gold box?
See kids, this is how you fire off a big 'ole rocket without destroying your launch pad in the process.
It still damaged the base of the Mobile Launch Tower and probably the trench as well, it's not really a valid comparison.
"Was that a good test guys? Was it?" Squirrel outside: "What... what.... WHAT IS LIFE!!!!!"
How long does it take to fill the water tower from scratch?
Probably as long as it took someone to reply to u so 5 dayd
@@beefcakes0623 Is it filled yet?
SpaceX: “What is that?”
All we need now is a rocket on that pad

Have fun with that, wouldn't surprise me if that was all NASA's budget.
And.. This video has to be one of the most satisfying video on earth..
😊 Close up of that water rise looks just like rocket 🚀 Takeoff.

Makes a great slip n slide for summer !
Thats some serious pumps! Ive nvr seen this outside of launches, so cool. More info plz!
Afrika happy to see this:D
I've always wanted to learn more about this system even back to the Apollo days it's been ignored
That's absolutely insane!
@NASA
I would love to a video of those massive pumps behind this :D
Pumps aren't that big. All they do is pump water up to a large tower and hold it there. Then they just dump it all at once. The system is gravity fed
Cool water feature. You have no ducks though?
that's an iconic fluid simulation for benchmark
This made me thirsty.
Goddammit your comment made me thirsty.
Starship could have used all of that today!

Holy crap! That’s a significant deluge
When you see your buddy walking along the flight deck…
That's really cool looking.
It makes quire the racket considering it's a sound suppression system. That should tell us something about the sounds it needs to suppress.
It's been a experience. Great.
If the SLS doesn't work out, you have the start of a pretty decent waterpark.
This induces anxiety of the highest degree
This is truly unbelievable in how much water is applied and then how quickly it is dispersed and all head pressure. Is this a closed system in that the water is recycled or in the event that an incident occurred would it be contained and reused in a pumping system to help fight a larger fire.
This will definetely fit the SLS's water systems for its SRB'S
Wish we had this for my Pentium 4 back in the day.
I wonder what kind of pump they use, they sure are massive!
Wow that an impressive amount of water.
Blastoise used Hydro Pump. It's super effective.
i want to stand under that.. I WANT IT. How do i arrange this?
Where does the water come from? Does the water tower in the background have anything to do with it? Tower seems too small.
Rebel N Trains also. Pipes are already pre filled.
Big pumps, anyone who knows about water would know gravity from that little tower could not produce that volume and pressure head.

Amazing view. Super minds.

Those pumps... good god think of how much those cost!!
That bird thought this was her end.
How would this be used?
I assume that it falls back into a reservoir? Recollecting that much water would take some time.
It flows back into the Atlantic Ocean, which is a couple hundred yards away. Given that it was pumped *out* of the Atlantic in the first place, it's not a big problem. And since this normally only triggers about one or two seconds before engine ignition, and you get weeks or more between launches, they have plenty of time to refill.
Thats for absorption to mitigate?
This should be titled nasa trying to get water to flint
What is reclamation percentage; if any...
Thank you.
How bae be early in the morning.
Just a short question. Did it work as expected?🚀
I'm curious about how much a test like this would cost to perform
Not a lot because it’s just gravity fed pressure from towers
I found the first video that said nasa on it. Could you please please look into gravity. I had a thought. Can gravity bounce? Is it possible?
