3D printed swirl rocket engine injector. It’s powered by 91% isopropyl alcohol and pressurized air. I’m still working out the exact mixture and flow rates I want in order to optimize the burn.
Printer settings:
.4 mm nozzle
.1 mm layer height
60 mm/s print speed
100% infill
105% flow (to help get a good seal)
NO STL FILES, this thing is too simple and too dangerous. I don’t feel comfortable releasing files because it could easily hurt someone who isn’t careful.
If you want to hear more about the design process, here is an instructable I wrote: www.instructables.com/id/Rock...

You could cast a pretty good bronze nozzle from your PETG model. A finishing pass and good to go. Thinking ahead when trying to goto infinity.

Great design! It obviously works really well. I have something I would love to try with it that isn't rocket related. I want to try silvering glass with a two part spray system and thought the thorough mixing would create a really even end result. If you wouldn't mind sharing for that use only I'd really appreciate it and you can find my e-mail on my channel (not a real channel, just share some project videos, but my email is there). Thanks for sharing your results either way!

@davidswalec3598 2 года назад

I am just wondering as a licensed light oil technician, did you know the whole idea behind oil burners is complete combustion and they use a flame tube and low pressure air from a fan with high pressure fuel atomized from a pump. Readily available parts and swirl cone at the end of the flame tube. Mach diamonds are a result of speed and that is the result F=ma so pretty much high speed fan or lots of pressurized fuel.

@yngsjo 3 года назад

@gelerson1642 3 года назад

This seems like it would be an incredible application for water misting in indoor farms. Using the bernouli principle to to distribute a fluid via low pressure rather than using high-pressure fluid feels like a much more energy efficient strategy. But I have no numbers to back that up. I would just imagine it would take less energy to maintain the system with a tank of high pressure air than continually pumping the fluid itself to maintain pressure in the lines.

@vietbriannguyen7582 3 года назад

Do you have the SolidWorks file? I'm working on a AM project for school and would love to see how this was designed. I understand the safety concerns, but I assure you I will not be printing it. I only need to design the part.

@samuelhedin7892 4 года назад

How do you pressurize the fuel?

@Sciencish 4 года назад

Just compressed air right now, but that won't due in the future since it means I'm mixing fuel and oxidizer (even if its greatly diluted by nitrogen) under pressure. An inert gas would be better but obviously more expensive than using my compressor which is free.

@MOsito-qc1if 4 года назад

Is it intentded to work in an hybrid rocket spreading oxidizer? Could it work with gas such as N2O?

@Sciencish 4 года назад

The goal is to get it to work with a liquid fuel and just compressed air, but with some adjustments it could probably work for any bipropellant rocket

@tristanhameleers7506 3 года назад

Make them with ceramic resin or metal 3d printers or so. So you can make a actual rocket

@bartekj4783 3 года назад

How did you pump the fuel?

@diablorseDe 4 года назад

Felt in love with your video HAHA I was wondering one ore two things. The first one is the pression you used for the air flow. And the second one is the flow of isopropyl alcohol involved in this result. I have in mind making tiny rocket engine, but before really getting into it, I'd like to have some scales in mind. Thanks for sharing your work !

@molodec2824 4 года назад

Can make a small water circuit for cooling? Plastic will not heat up too much and will melt. Or cooling with fuel, but it is not so safe.

@Sciencish 4 года назад

I’ve thought about it, since it would be really easy to print a cooling jacket and nozzle in one piece. The problem is the thermal conductivity of PETG is less than 1 W/m•K, which is a lot lower than conventional materials like steel (50-ish W/m•K) and copper (380ish W/m•K). This just means that the inside surface of the plastic would almost definitely already be melting before it could be effectively cooled by the cooling fluid.

Aircraft Engine mechanic here. I would like to tell you so much about nozzels, ignition and burning chambers. But this would be too much for a comment. Try research for simplex and duplex nozzels. They have an near optimal vaporasition and spreading the flame long and conzentratet

@joaovitorlorscheiter602 3 года назад

why does the engine fire not go into the fuel tank?

@11macedonian 2 года назад

Because the fuel line has no oxygen. The worst that could happen is the injector could explode, but it looks like the flowrate is faster than the combustion and it can't make it's way back in to the injector.

@SuperEmmet 4 года назад

How much pressure do you have?

@Sciencish 4 года назад

I can’t remember exactly offhand, I think it was something like 15-30 psi in the fuel tanks, maybe 80 in the air compressor just because it made cooler louder flames haha. When it’s in an actual engine it’ll be quite a bit higher, and I’ll have to pressurize the fuel tank with an inert gas too not just air.

@thecrazylooser7 3 года назад

I thought shock diamonds was a signal of combustion deficiency 🤔 Maybe I misunderstood the other guy that met Elon and the rocket lab CEO.

@Sciencish 3 года назад

They are at the very least a sign that a nozzle isn’t well matched to the atmosphere, which is not as efficient as a matched nozzle. But they are a good indication that the flow is supersonic for my needs, and most rockets generate them since they go through different atmospheric conditions as they fly. Mine will generate them bc it’ll be poorly designed and cheaply made, that’s if it doesn’t immediately explode or melt haha

@thecrazylooser7 3 года назад

Sciencish I see, thank you for the clarification, those diamond shocks look so beautiful, I hope you can succeed. Copenhagen Suborbital is trying with 3d print but in metal. They saw some slightly improvements in performance vs a machined one.

@evannibbe9375 3 года назад

You will definitely need high temperature metals and liquid oxygen, and a pump (for this size, you would be best off with an electric pump, since getting a turbo pump to work is very complicated (such as in needing cryogenic methane)) to prevent the exhaust from going back into the fuel tanks as it compresses before leaving.
