[15:56:00] Fluburtur: I fear that Martin is going crazy... [15:56:56] or as he asks us sometimes: have i lost my marbles? [15:57:19] idk [15:57:32] I just got a piece of candy rocket fuel in my mouth, it doesnt taste bad [15:57:40] lol [16:23:02] hehe the evil dragon minions [16:32:47] Mmm, potassium nitrate :). [16:39:59] hehe, a periodic table (wait for it) https://techreport.com/r.x/2019_02_07_National_Periodic_Table_Day_Shortbread/periodictable2.gif [16:44:51] https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/02/nasa-still-working-toward-2020-launch-of-massive-sls-rocket/ [16:50:09] Althego, wwww [16:52:48] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:02:52] I think I had my first good rocket test [17:03:04] using a smaller nozzle seems to work [17:07:12] nice [17:07:36] it was a bit unstable but probs because the tip of my plastic pencil was stuck in it [17:12:23] you can see the plastic being melted out of the engine even [17:12:58] why did they decide to renew the o-10 engine looks, it was just updated not so long ago [17:13:13] so they dont have to do actual work [17:13:19] hehe [17:13:30] it looks like to me, they are witholding actual development [17:13:48] I guess they just want to do DLC only stuff [17:13:56] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boondoggle [17:14:01] maybe they are already doing it [17:14:12] and this is just a front they put up [17:14:41] if it is the case they can go to hell [17:15:33] the only way to do this little, to have maybe one programmer fix bugs, and maybe 2 graphical guts doing these models [17:16:30] hah another video from wolfie, crush those flatties [17:16:49] https://youtu.be/O2aH0D1AKHk [17:16:49] YouTube - entropy 12 HD [17:17:44] burn looks good, but probably because of the nozzle it burned sideways [17:18:18] I could make the nozzle angle smaller [17:18:42] maybe the exhaust velocity is high enough that the presure is low and causes flow separation [17:20:04] actually you can see some smoke being sucked into the exhaust, that means low presure [17:48:50] Fluburtur: woah. You should go publich with these and have a patreon page. I bet there are people who will pay to see this [17:49:24] eh my channel doesnt have much of an audience [17:50:11] Not yet [17:50:14] hehe [17:50:35] I can make a good video every few year [17:50:48] my guitar making video has about 100k views now [17:51:09] first you should build a rocket big enough to go up to say 40 km, it should film the ascent and show the curvature of the earth. post it. flat earthers arrive. profit [17:51:36] well I want to make a balloon launched rocket plane [17:51:47] just because I want to beat the altitude record on a forum [17:51:59] i always wonder how do they make sure it avoids the balloon above it? [17:52:21] the ldsd tests were done like thi [17:52:22] s [17:52:23] well, either they wait for it to pop or release, wait a bit and ignite [17:52:55] my plan was to hange the plane at an angle and ignite it so it flies sideways [17:54:29] im pretty sure I would beat the speed record of the forum too [17:54:55] now, how do I ignite a rocket engine at 10km high while the ambiant temperature is around -50 [17:55:15] electric arc? [17:55:42] I could do like the real ones and have a black powder cartridge at the top of the rocket [17:55:56] also I would need a proper nozzle optimized for that kind of presure [17:58:14] https://youtu.be/pqCatb2oApU [17:58:14] YouTube - The Story Behind This Green Rocket Exhaust [18:01:57] ah scott [18:03:00] Anyone know about a bug with excessive acceleration on launch? [18:03:14] Like 1.7 TWR and it accelerates like crazy [18:03:41] so no dragon flight in february [18:03:59] ^ It's ridiculous [18:05:24] 1.7 twr is already quite big [18:06:42] It hit 1300 m/s by like 13k, is that right? [18:06:51] heh [18:06:54] you just built a powerful rocket [18:07:02] hehe [18:07:14] think of it, the 1.7 twr goes over 2 very fast [18:07:25] you can get thermal damage with that kind of thrust [18:07:27] oh yeah, go past SLT....yep [18:07:30] I see what I did [18:07:34] my superheavy launcher can take off at a twr of 2 wiht a small payload [18:07:52] pix [18:10:19] old one https://i.imgur.com/Zupkz2G.jpg [18:11:14] Though, I restarted KSP tried again, and this time it accelerted muh slower [18:11:19] Exact same craft [18:44:38] I am tempted to buy that https://www.aviation-design.fr/?reacteur-p80-se-complet [18:45:32] quite expensive [18:45:42] although i think it is actually affordable [18:45:53] I have enough money [18:46:03] but I would need the plane to go around it [18:46:17] also I have no runway for such plane [18:46:25] what are the chanes of that surviving a crash? [18:46:47] depends on the crash [18:48:54] but, I must invest my money wisely [18:49:42] and I would rather buy this https://aerobertics.be/en_be/moki-s250-5-cilinder-radial-engine-with-ignition-mok2505 [18:55:52] why is that more expensive tha na jet? [18:56:03] you could by a used car with that much [18:56:08] buy [18:56:21] because more complex [18:56:40] bunch of pistons and cranks and cra like that, less mocing parts in a jet [19:34:04] I think I know why the thrust of my rocket was going sideways [19:34:29] because the nozzle is plaster it got eroded in a pretty hardcore way and not symetrical [19:34:50] you need a better material [19:36:28] I would use some cement usually, it doesnt erode much but takes a day to dry [19:40:02] im gonna print two molds since htey seem to work [19:43:08] I could start develloping a rocket powered plane [22:34:25] hi folks [22:35:00] NeilKerman, hi [22:35:19] I have 10 tourists who want to orbit the mun [22:35:32] any ideas about how to do it all in one go? [22:38:49] NeilKerman, any mods? [22:38:57] just KER [22:39:01] nbg rocket [22:39:04] big* [22:39:43] NeilKerman, so, A mk1-3 + 2 hitchhikers gives you 1 pilot + 10 tourists [22:39:46] https://imgur.com/a/N3SGzQ7 [22:39:46] https://i.imgur.com/1z32wRp.jpg [22:40:27] That works too [22:40:52] dV seems like it should get me there [22:40:56] in theory... [22:40:57] You will want stronger reaction wheels, though [22:41:15] Especially as it won't be very stable on re-entry [22:41:34] I had trouble on reentry with a similar design [22:41:44] it wanted to flip around and go head-first [22:41:57] I've never actually used reaction wheels [22:43:15] Action: darsie made a triangle satellite constellation for global coverage. Each sat has 23:56:04.100 orbital period down to the ms: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot76.png [22:43:30] hope it works out this time. [23:04:39] https://youtu.be/OBmM79YadYM [23:04:39] YouTube - Metallica-Enter Sandman (Smooth Jazz Version) [23:12:51] What unit is 23:56:04.100? h? s? hms? [23:16:52] darsie, I would guess hh:mm:ss:ms [23:17:36] Each sat has 23:56:04.100 hh:mm:ss orbital period.
