- Inside the BLOODHOUND hybrid rocket system, the largest in Europe.
At 4 meters (12 feet) long, 45.7 cm (18 inches) in diameter and weighing 450 kg, BLOODHOUND's rocket is the largest hybrid ever designed in Europe and biggest to be fired in the UK for 20 years. In its ultimate form it will generate c. 27,500lbs of thrust, equivalent to c. 80,000 horsepower (hp) or the power of 95 Formula 1 cars. - Наука та технологія
2:27 "six hundred"
The car just did that without the rocket. Damn.
must be hell of a boost when the rocket fires! in almost instantly, the car produce double the thrust (of the jet)!!
Of all the animations I have seen, this is the best.
Looking at how they animated this before the real thing and then comparing it to the real tests on the hakskeenpan, is absolutely impeccable! Go team Bloodhound
I just love how over-the-top this thing is, the fact that it's using an 18,000-RPM V12 engine JUST TO RUN THE OXIDIZER PUMP is simply mind-bending. I swear, that high-test peroxide is probably equivalent to Liquid Schwartz! Ludicrous speed, GO!
Take a look at how big liquid fueled rocket engines work and what kind of power the turbo machinery has to achieve...almost 1/2 of the total cost of a big liquid fuel rocket engine is the turbo machinery, that's why Bloodhound is using a piston engine, it's much cheaper ;-)
p.s. the turbine for each of the Rocketdyne F-1 engines (Saturn V-5 rocket) produced 44MW (55k hp) and it's not that much bigger then the Cossoworth engine, all that to run just 2 pumps :D
Yeh, I know. This is just a more down-to-earth thing, so it's easier to relate to.
AKAtheA Even that is small fry compared to something like the turbopumps on that were built for the M-1 Rocket engine. They cranked out 75,000 horsepower to just move the hydrogen into the combustion chamber.
R Re The SSME's (Space Shuttle Main Engine) turbomachinery combined power is 283,200 hp (much greater chamber pressure, so the pump has to do more work) :P
By reflex I went to one-up you, but this is kind of cheating. The Francis hydroelectric turbine is rated to over a million horsepower. Also you are combining the turbos for all three of the SSME components, which really isn't fair.
Holy sh*t the animation is amazing!
Yes it is, its so smooth and clear, so detailed. It shows exctly what happens as it is starting up and running. I have to admit this is the most amazing 3D Animation / CGI I have ever seen on UA-cam and probabally in my life. Must have taken DAYS to render that, even on a really good computer. :)
Exactly! Simply amazing, must have taken some extremely skilled animators
Fantastic Video! Very happy that it is finally going to see the light of day. Since the sneak preview at a 1K Club event a year ago I've been waiting for it. Looking forward to seeing the real thing in action next week! This will also be a great ending for my Bloodhound presentations. Keep up the great work and fantastic videos!
Brilliant animation, loved it, thanks
awesome stuff! Looking forward to the next video!
"Too soon junior"
kyle huckerby HAHAHAHAHA
Great animation.
I'm so high & this shit's crazyy xD
haha same here, some top notch shit!
saaaaame holy shit bro
Great animation,all the very best of luck Bloodhound
We fired it pressure fed in the USA Cantil and pump fed in UK Newquay. Perfect reliability and THROTTLEABLE and SELF IGNITING. Dead simple and safe.
even though they didn't explain the steering system I'm okay with this but I just can't help but imagine the Turning Wheels accidentally slipping and breaking his hands if it's not drive by wire
Built and driven by the best! Total control 👍
Even former members of the British Empire, such as we colonists will be pulling for you Andy Green. I'm sure most of the English speaking world will be looking forwards to cheering your success. Being an American I wish it were one of us; but were proud our closest allies is taking such a great step. Go With God Andy! Rule Britannia!
Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Extremely exciting!
Thanks for the feedback, we'll take it on board for the next one. The HTP tank will be baffled to stop it sloshing it about ^JT
Wow love this video
Now i want to see the real thing.
Legendary video
True, true...highest level, very clear but with many details, ..."best technical animation I've ever seen."...
This is what happen when you give engineers an unlimited supply of crack... they get a V8 engine to run a turbopump, that pump **drumroll** freaking T-Stoff. I am facepalming so hard right now...
T-stoff?? Dude, take a break from the documentary channel.
Barnekkid Yeah... they are not using unstabilized HTP... go away. If you are pumping HTP and not using it to power the pump itself you are clearly doing it wrong.
This team holds the land speed record of 763mph. I'm sure they know what they are doing.
That is the new standard of thrust
Absolutely amazing illustration I have a twin rocket engine sat in my garage stentor mk1 from a cold steel missile 1960s the small rocket is 6,200lbs thrust big rocket is 25,500lbs thrust Both On together 31,700lbs maybe one day I will make a drag car htp kerosene bloodhound is a work of art amazing mind blowing work
Amazing..
Have you considered ditching the piston engine and using a supercitical steam pressure source for the oxidier instead? That'd be much lighter and simpler, and you've got all the risks associated with that system in the rocket anyway ;)
I believe the engine is required to be running for it to be a land speed vehicle record
Drew but then Jaguar wouldn’t be on board with the program would they?
@@kylemilford5968 No piston engine required. In fact, the team has looked at ditching the current motor in favour of and electric motor. The piston engine provides no motive power whatsoever. Its job seems to be to get all the attention. The current land speed record holder, Thrust SSC, has two Rolls Royce Spey after burning turbofans and they are the only engines it has.
@@ricvis44 Bloodhound would be better off without Jaguar but they need the money.
History in the making!
So it turns out there's a cartoon inside, just like 2000s music videos!
We have several of these in stock in case you have a project to run or fly.
Congrats to Commander Andy Green, who in my opinion is the best man for this incredible mission, and to Mr. Richard Noble, for creating such a engineering masterpieces like the Thrust and the Bloodhound SSC cars.
If it's 1G the angle should be around 45 degrees. It looks like 30-35 ish in the animation so it isn't too bad imho. The fuel also gets sucked out pretty fast which will also have an effect on the fluid level, but I'm not going to calculate that effect :p
It's supposed to be more like 2.5g! I would expect something more like a 60 degree surface angle. From the Bloodhound site: "As the Car accelerates, a force of around 2.5G will push him hard back into his seat." or wikipedia: "As the car accelerates from 0-1,000 mph (1,600 km/h) in 42 seconds, he will experience a force of approximately 2.5g"
Yes, indeed.
That was brilliant! Shame it happened too fast, ironically
It's Buckaroo Banzai!
Too many beeps at the beginning of the video.
Thanks for flagging that, I've opened it up to the whole of UA-cam
When your late for work
How is the liquid catalyst, being shown in the video, being pushed FORWARD of the tank to be pumped into the rocket? Wouldn't acceleration push it to the rear?
Can I use some of this in a video I'm making? I'l promise to credit you in the video.
Best Cosworth V8 I've see so far. Do u really need the rocket ?
for breaking sound barrier and hit their 1000mph target, yes. rocket is needed
Why wasent stage 1 already activated?
This is THE fastest car in the world.
Fantastic video, but I can't help feeling that HTP fluid level (2:36 2:39 2:43) is showing way less than 1G of Acceleration under full rocket burn..
I have a tingly jingly feeling between my legs
This animation cost more than my entire life.
There is a engine in there as a fuel pump?
Could they use the Koenigsegg style free valve engine to directly pump the air?
Well if it's 2.5g it is obviously wrong. I assumed the 1g you mentioned earlier was correct.
Is the catalyst pack filled with potassium permanganate? If not what other catalyst material are they using with the hydrogen peroxide?
More likely calcium permanganate.
Cosworth.. Really? :D
A Cossy? Holy shite...
EnragedSephiroth cosworth don't muck around
How will the rocket be refilled🧐in a hour🤷♂️
This is.... wooooow! Insane!!!
No words.
(Im high)
All those effects.
Mindstruck
(The mind is struck down. No more using the mind.)
Im really interested in hybrid rockets, at the moment planning to build one, does anyone know what they are using for fuel? I know they use H2O2 for oxidizer, but it would be nice to know what fuel they use. I have heard of people mostly using HTPB, is that the case here?
+Tian Cilliers Amateur hybrid rocket builders commonly use Nitrous Oxide (N2O) for the oxidizer and Paraffin wax or HTPB for the fuel. The nice thing about N2O/Paraffin is that wax is easy to buy and safe and N2O is a self pressurizing gas therefore you don't need another tank with a compressed gas simply to pressurize your oxidizer and feed it into your combustion chamber.
Tian Cilliers if you understand chemistry, you can make an atomized aluminum fuel
They are burning acrylic from the looks of it.
Tian Cilliers most things burn in an environment with high oxygen concentration. Just be careful you’re not making a ton of toxic products in an enclosed area. Also, thought most things will burn, you should be careful to do lots of careful testing and calculations if possible because there can be really high pressures and possible engine explosion.
Impressive, but I would hate to be the mechanic on that car rebuilding the engine after every drive.
The HTP doesn’t go through the piston engine. In fact, the piston engine is likely to be scrapped in favour of a better and more efficient electric motor.
the only thing that annoys me is why there's all that illegible text under all the parts' labels at the beginning
omg.. why... just, why?
pretty awesome , though...
Warning!. no politicians were involved in this.
Why phenolic fuel?
Who are these guys?
The Hong Kong Cavaliers?
Great movie!
Thrust game too strong
I just wanna point out, real british engineers dont actually use units like lbs/sec/lbs.
Imperial vehicle - imperial units, fFor Queen and Country
V8 Turbocharged Jaguar engine just for run the fuel pump?
Will probably be replaced by an electric motor. Putting a petrol engine in there was a viable solution eight years ago but things have moved on since then and there are extremely powerful electric motors that can do the job better.
But Britain's engineering sector is metric...?
A class apart
everyone says it's a great animation then why i'm not impress now in 2017
Why all imperial units!!!????
MattyTeare - Because it’s British! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
crossworth? no jag engine
They changed to the jag engine later down the line. it was originally a 2.4l F1 V8, it's now the Jag v8, Partially it has more torque, but my own idea here but I suspect it's more reliable and easier as the engine is far easier to run as you don't need to warm it up before running etc. therefore one less thing to worry about in the system when the turn round at the end of the run for the return run.
JakeyBaby6 This is all old. A piston engine was a viable solution eight years ago when the first plans were drawn up but we have come a long way since then and they are more likely to scrap the piston engine and use a more efficient electric motor.
why?
Well that doesn't answer much...
Cosworth Engine? I thought it was a Jaguar?
+Seaweed 99 this is an old video, they have changed it since then
+Gipsy-Danger Oh ok, Thanks. That is what I figured.
i made these in 5th grade science projects...
+1041ferret lol
FFS... my dad gave me a pencil when i was 3 years old and i writed a formula...
he abandoned me
I can't really see the point of spending millions of dollars to create a car that goes 1,000 mph unless it's just a vanity project for a guy with tens of millions of 'what the heck, hold my beer and watch this" money.
Can something of lasting value be learned from this project? I'd be interested in knowing.
Leutchik the whole thing is a thesis in aerodynamics, material design, and rocket science. Literally. The rocket on the back was designed in part for space agency's. To be fair, there also is an element of hold my beer, but there is also a MASSIVE marketing opportunity too. Everyone who watches this will be seeing all these sponsors. It's kinda like that supersonic jump from the record altitude. Hold my beer, but literally EVERYONE knows that it was sponsored by Red Bull.
just go one inch off the ground why don't ya
i want to make better than this . okk is that clear
Driver gonna die. Once that solid fuel rocket engine is lit there is no control over it. And at 1000mph you want to be able to shut off the engine.
its a hybrid engine the oxizer is the HTP so u can trottle it and stop it
spend less time on animations and more time driving the thing!
Bloodhound project, yawn yawn yawn, this so old now its just stupid and that's why the sponsors have all vanished, 1000 mph no way, the world record R/C car goes faster at 204 mph and was built by 3 school kids cost £300 and took 1 month and goes faster than bloodhound,
Kevin Jones - Bloodhound just clocked 562mph.
Great cartoon, but I’m gonna go watch actual cars that have set records, like SSC Thrust and the Budweiser rocket car. Wake me up when they finally make this thing instead of make cartoons about it.
I can't believe how much time and money must have been spent on this irritating and uninformative animation. Way to make your project seem like a video game.
