@@stefanosks6127 oh the launch tower, the surrounding buildings, and I believe the rocket itself too (I believe the rocket and it’s crew/payload is the biggest concern)
@@MarsFKA OK, but I think there are pumps as well. The water starts out at a much lower volume/pressure and then gets more powerful, taking several seconds to reach full power. Gravity fed water doesn't do that, it starts at full power - in fact it's initial velocity is higher and it then settles back to a lower pressure, as the initial pent up force is released.
@@paulhaynes8045 You just explained how the water flow works under gravity. Why go to the extra expense of installing huge pumps when gravity works just as well? How big do you think the pumps might have to be to provide such a volume of water, and where are they?
I think that large cylindrical concrete tower at the edge of the frame is their water storage. It would not surprise me if they're using gravity of the water column to assist.
@@19cowboysfan94 My point was that there isn't much need for recycling when there is so much water available anyway. There might be a need from the point of view of cleaning the water, desalinating it, etc - that might make it less expensive to recycle it than just to pipe in more. But otherwise the logic of recycling water only really applies in a place where there isn't enough of it. For instance, it would make sense in California, where extracting the water from rivers has caused huge environmental damage, but not in French Guyana, where more than enough water simply falls from the sky!

@@Verbal_Sin The purpose of this is not to cool down the launch pad It's to dampen the noise and vibrations the rocket produces at liftoff so that all the noise and vibrations won't damage the rocket
Fun fact: the water is for reducing damage from engine noise.
what do you mean reducing damage from engine noise? what the engine noise is damaging
@@stefanosks6127 the vibrations
@@romerobryan83 yes i know but what is getting damaged by these vibrations

i need this one for cooling my computer when i play games 😂😂
“the hose doesn’t hurt!”
the hose:
That system would save me 10min/day.
Its the last shower you will ever need
"Last shower" 😃😃
"Last shower" 💀💀
Great video !
That was very, very, exciting. Glad I came here. Ahem.
Anybody know the throughput of each of those "nozzles", or of the entire setup?
New propulsion system!
Or a new Rocket Wash
Blimey - the pumps that do that must be massive!
Gravity. The water is stored in the tall tower to one side of the pad.

@@TWX1138 It is and they do. Same as the Sound Suppression systems at the KSC and Cape Canaveral launch pads.
The pad looks a little old, AND ITS BRAND NEW WHATS GOIN ON FAM
Latest gen NVIDIA or AMD graphics cards could use this much cooling.
SpaceX it better!

is the water coming from a water tower reservoir ?
Yes.
I want that for my shower 🚿

Its for bathing
Bath time!
I’m afraid if it’ll extinguish the rocket engines.
PLEASE tell me that all that water drains back into a storage tank for reuse!!
If not, that is a HUGE waste!
Yes, it does.
The launch complex is in French Guyana, which certainly isn't short of water - plus it's right next to a big load of water caled the Atlantic.

The geographical location is not the point, it's the lack of water recycling

Even if it is wasted, I'm sure there are lots of bigger resources waste issues in any space programme.

No wastage. It again goes back to the reservoir

Why? Why does the area need to be cooled down so fast? Plus, most Starships just blow-up anyway...
