[00:00:55] dlrkdesktop, Near Future Launch Vehicles maybe? [00:02:51] hmm [00:04:42] It's tough....I'm looking for an efficient radial engine lol [00:07:57] dlrkdesktop: Mk1 liquid fuel tank + LV-N (use the tank to give radial attachment) [00:08:44] or a good old octagonal strut [00:09:24] yeah [00:09:41] This is a little tough... [00:10:12] I've got this frustum shaped reusable vehicle and I'm using the KRE superdracos but they're so inefficient [00:10:13] .. [00:10:21] if you want RCS engines that uses conventional fuels, that's another story [00:11:15] no, don't need that [00:11:41] More of looking for a way to reenter an upper stage engine [00:11:59] Could put an inflatable heat shield on top, though my vehicle would look like a mushroom..... [00:14:13] dlrkdesktop: be sure to play Hall of the Mountain King during reentry ;) [00:15:16] lol [00:16:25] what've you guys used for vehicles that need to reenter with engines? [00:16:51] luck [00:17:15] I made a srb rocket that could land on its nose with a well timed burn [00:17:22] had another smaller srb on the nose [00:18:11] could do something like the BFR....reenter with a belly heatshield [00:18:45] does KSP have something similar to those Rutherford engines that NZ company has? [00:19:04] spark maybe? [00:27:12] Has anyone seen this thing? http://www.thehumanitystar.com/ [00:27:23] yeah [00:28:19] I think it's pretty cool [00:31:32] the bahamuto engines could be good, but eight giant retractable engines lol [00:36:38] wow I feel dumb. The mk4 shoulder [00:43:24] dumb question: Is it unrealistic to use a nuclear engine as a landing/launch engine? Like do they irradiate everything? [00:43:39] well ksp doesn't simulate radioations [00:43:55] but nukes have fairly low thrust so it will be good only for low gravity bodies [00:44:03] and no atmosphere [00:49:00] there is this guy that made a mini arduino synth called the sardine box [00:49:05] I could make one easily [00:49:42] I could maybe make a two channels one [00:50:19] uh the arduino can only make one tone [00:50:21] "Go on an orbital spacewalk near The Sun." Is that lethal? [00:50:41] but I guess I could add some stuff to chaneg the town and then an analog filter [00:50:45] depends how close [03:23:55] Hmm... [03:24:41] Need a way to convert Ore to Argon and Xenon... [04:01:45] I'm doing an "orbital spacewalk near The Sun." and my ablator is evaporating at 1 Gm :(. [04:02:23] Einarr: Nuclear fusion. [04:04:24] Haven't found an attitude that would shield the heat shield from The Sun. [04:16:39] But I have enough xenon so I don't need the ablator. [04:19:57] Darsie, you have Near Future Propulsion? [04:21:16] no [04:21:33] Or do I? [04:21:38] I have everything in stock. [04:22:00] But ion thrusters are present, not future. [04:24:11] jk, fusion would be required irl. [04:25:09] uhhh....NFP is a mod [04:58:43] "Go on an orbital spacewalk near The Sun." was an interesting mission. [05:03:51] Mathuin, you have started something [05:04:27] Twinerererer: what did he start?

[12:26:07] no [12:26:15] also I just tested the rocket engine again [12:26:20] had a hard start [12:26:27] so I call that semi sucessful [12:27:27] ok, you need to search for Red Means Recording. Great stuff you can run while you're working [12:34:37] can you see what went wrong? https://youtu.be/GxG7dTNWOAw [12:34:38] YouTube - DSC 8388 [12:36:20] https://youtu.be/RC_akd9QOTA [12:36:20] YouTube - 2014 0114 000947 080 [12:41:12] Fluburtur: Looks like a failed O-Ring to me [12:41:32] yeah it did a space shuttle [12:41:36] kinda expected that [12:41:49] but I didn't think it would be so hard [12:41:57] guess it did ghenerate enough presure then [12:42:48] On a more serious note, seems like the fuel burned way too fast [12:43:06] nah it was pretty normal [12:43:11] I think it didn't burn all of it [12:43:24] but usually those kind of rockets burn for like half a second [12:43:41] How was the fuel arranged? [12:43:53] end burn with the igniter burried inside [12:44:01] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/405528003997859842/413352138241081346/DSC_8385.JPG [12:44:11] so it probably behaved like a hollow core [12:44:17] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/405528003997859842/413391580217737216/DSC_8387.JPG [12:46:01] I guess if it didn't open on the side it would have worked fairly well [12:46:17] but the igniter didn't eject so that's a thing to consider too [12:52:33] Uh, when you pour the fuel, put a rod inside so there's hole. [12:52:45] yeah I will do that next time [12:52:52] I wanted to do that for it but I forgot [12:52:56] It will then burn from the inside to the outside and shoud create a pretty even pressure [12:53:13] but I don't want a hollow core, I want an end burner for longer burn [12:53:15] also use a pressure container :D [12:53:21] but I need a partial hollow core for the igniter [13:01:03] https://youtu.be/rcV1WA6yG-0 [13:01:03] YouTube - Entropy 2 semi-successful test [13:24:10] Fluburtur: What's the outside material? [13:24:20] cardboard tube [13:24:26] Uhh... [13:24:34] I'd at least consider PVC or similar [13:24:44] pvc shatters easily [13:24:53] cardboard is actually better for that kind of rocket [13:25:00] Cardboard is not very well suited to contain burning and expanding gases, though [13:25:15] At least thicker cardboard then [13:25:16] because it is a bit more heat resistant, the inside doesn't actually burn and it doesn't explode under presure [13:25:24] PVC i more potentially hazardous [13:25:28] is* [13:25:40] I would rather a burnign tube than one that explodes [13:25:54] inb4 "It was not an explosion! It was a fast fire" [13:26:12] But PVC is used in rather large model rocket engines without exploding [13:28:36] I wonder if there is a combat robot category for mostly/fully 3d printed robots [13:36:47] this is in front of a middle school https://www.google.fr/maps/@48.4485241,2.7652275,76m/data=!3m1!1e3 [13:36:57] looks like a good spot to learn to fly my heli [13:37:22] actually im friend with the boss of that school so I could ask him to fly inside the school yard on the weekends [13:52:04] Fluburtur: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kd3R_RlXgc [13:52:05] YouTube - Divide by Zero on the Friden STW10 Mechanical Calculator [13:59:37] man this thing is impressive [14:01:49] and shows what happens, when you divide by zero :D [14:02:41] yeah [14:02:48] machine goes AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [14:03:58] i've heard that song [14:40:16] Fluburtur: looks more like Kindergarden then a middle school [14:46:47] kindergarden is actually the other school to the left [14:46:51] with a playground [14:50:15] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:52:19] i guess all my KSP planes fall to the top-right variant https://i.imgur.com/bnqIdpE.jpg [15:03:42] Gasher[home]: It's a good use for extra cardboard, I guess.

[22:55:52] I'd guess the ET was the heaviest part [22:55:55] But no idea [23:06:08] Based on the Wikipedia pages, the SRBs each massed 590 tons, while the ET massed 760 tons. [23:06:27] So it looks like UmbralRaptor was correct. [23:09:36] That's some fat SRB and tank [23:10:40] Many rockets in total mass less than either of those parts [23:11:09] That's the nature of solid fuels, I guess. The density is necessarily high.
