      All the black smoke means there is unburned carbon in the exhaust so lost performance and efficiency.
      If you want peak efficiency you have to have some kind of controlled valve.

    I love those shock diamonds. Spent years as a test engineer in aerospace - most of the time, we'd do simple production testing on commercial jet engines. But every once in a while, we'd get to test a fighter jet engine. When one of those goes to max AB, you'd get six or eight shock diamonds, and the sound would be so loud it would be hard to breathe.

    • @VoidHalo
      @VoidHalo 2 роки тому +2

      You can. Absolutely! I felt the same way watching hobbyists build electrical circuits and stuff like that. So I took to the internet, learned what I needed to find out what parts I need to get started, bought the parts from aliexpress, and then after a bit more learning I found some more resources and it just took off from there. But make no mistake, if you want to take up a hobby you can't just watch a video and expect to be doing the same sorta stuff right off the bat. It's going to take a lot of time and dedication. But a lot of tinkering, too. Which is where you get to have fun. Though I find the learning fun, too. And you seem to as well. So just learn what you can, when you can, as much as you can. Take every chance you get to practice.
      As far as the practice goes, I can think of 2 things you could do. Though I've never done anything hands on with rockets before, so my knowledge in this is limited. If you're afraid of breaking something and starting out fairly new, I'd suggest playing Kerbal Space Program. It might sound silly, but the game uses a lot of real life physics and you can take actual math from rocket science and apply it to the rockets/planes/space planes you design and fly in the game. The more you learn about playing the game, the more you end up learning about rocket science. The more you learn about rocket science, the better you can play the game. It's an amazing balance of fun and educational. Whether you just blow stuff up or recreate a missile, or build an actual rocket to another planet, you're always using (and learning) real science either way. And there are TONS of UA-cam channels about how to play, ranging from extremely technical to "I'm just here to blow stuff up" levels of complexity. But I'm sure you already know about KSP if you're interested in rockets.
      Another thing you could consider is taking up building model rockets. It's pretty common as far as hobbies not involving electronics go. You could buy everything you need to build your own rockets right off the internet. Again, I've never done this so I don't know where, but it shouldn't be hard to find a place. I even recall finding a place to buy rocket motors online years and years ago so there's probably a place you could find on Google. Or AliExpress or Amazon might even have something. But your best bet is to get it from a proper store that actually sells model rockets. It might cost more, but believe me you don't get the best quality stuff from Amazon or Ali Express.
      And yeah, you could just learn what you can about them from UA-cam. I'm sure there are tons of videos on the subject. Or from other resources. Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone and (at least try to) read a textbook or watch a lecture. It might all be Greek at first. But you give it enough time and enough persistence and you'll be amazed at what you can learn given the right resources. And I need to stress DO NOT be afraid of the math. It's actually a lot more fun to learn math when you actually have an application for it. I know it puts a lot of people off because you need a solid understanding of math for any science. But it's really not that bad. And I failed the CRAP out of math in school. So don't let school make you think it's hard or painful. It's just hard or painful the way THEY teach it.
      Best of luck to you. And just keep it up. Even if it's a slow pace, if you keep it up long enough you'll be doing stuff you never thought you could. Believe me, I know.

      @@AndySpicer This doesn't seem entirely true. You can get rid of them at certain altitudes. The shock diamonds are a result of the pressure mismatch at a given altitude. Ideally the nozzle would be optimized for maximum efficiency in a range of altitude. For long burn motors this is critical, but on smaller motors that only see a few seconds of burn, it seems it would be better to have them be slightly over expanded at ground level and gradually equalize before burn out. There is a calculator that will help design nozzle geometry. Nozzle by AeroRocket is one such program.

      The neighbors were overwhelmingly sweet. In the US exurbs, there are lots of people doing alright for themselves. They have some property , and some wealth,, but they don’t know their nextdoor neighbors at all.
      Maybe one of them has a dog that won’t shut up all night - maybe one of them plays music a little loud - or works on their motorcycle early in the morning. Everyone has enough space , so no one makes a stink about it, but its the human condition to want to know more about your surroundings - what are you neighbors up to?
      They certainly weren’t making trouble. It just stinks that public spaces - like the actual “pub” / public house - don’t exist in america, so you need to be intrusive just to be friendly. I helped a stranger (a pregnant mom, pushing her son in a stroller) carry the stroller up to her front door. She kept saying “Im so sorry to ask for your help, It’s rude” and I wanted to start crying. You should be able to ask questions of your neighbor,.

      @@TheM750 Mach diamonds show that your flow is hypersonic, they are unavoidable in high performance engines. All SpaceX motors do it as well. the mach diamonds are a side effect of the pressure wave converging and diverging. When they appear lopsided or "twitch" back and forth it shows minor inefficiencies but that is to be expected from a hobbyist setup. The fact that he even achieved mach diamonds is staggering and incredible.

      ​@@TheM750 it is overexpanded so it is not at maximum power BUT rockets have a tendency to go high very quickly. So if you want the max performance (and stability) you will over expand at start, which will turn into slight under expansion at the end (due to lower pressure).
      Over expansion is also good to produce visual shock diamond on purpose so you can measure the speed of the flow just by looking at the exhaust. Practically all rockets at sea level are over expanded (there may be even more reasons).
      If you over expand too much, (use a massive nozzle), the flow will separate before leaving the nozzle and will most likely try to crush it it usually oscillates too. SpaceX tested vacuum engines with maximal expansion at sea level, and you can see some surprisingly small but dangerous flow separation there.

    Notice: For an accurate load cell reading you need that trailer to be unmovable.

    • @garyha2650
      @garyha2650 2 роки тому

      In fact, on second thought, no tires either because they will always absorb some movement and spring back since the restraint is at an angle, tires allow for some of the force to be displaced to the vertical vector and some movement horizontally also. Consider a steel square tube filled with concrete on each side of the driveway to also hold gates some day when they grow up, just use one of those. The whole design of a load cell internally also is to measure force in such a way that movement is kept as close to zero as possible.
      As it is, with the trailer lurching and slamming to a halt, the chart/graph over the course of the firing does not always show just force but is influenced by some of the force transformed into kinetic energy, movement of the trailer and also the rebound after the chains go taut for example. More specifically, the reading is too low while the trailer is moving and suddenly too high the moment it stops, only accurate when the restraints have stabilized which is a significant time after the initial firing of the rocket engine.
      Trust those who have experience with physics and mechanical engineering and sensors for decades like me.
