Unexpected! Elon Musk Just Revealed New-Gen Raptor Inside Starfactory...
Elon Musk just revealed the New Gen Raptor for colonizing Mars.
In its development history, SpaceX has introduced many crazy ideas, which have surprised and amazed the world. Among them, the Raptor engine is one of their greatest masterpieces. The current versions of the Raptor engines are marvels of engineering, known for their high and robust performance.
However, SpaceX and Elon Musk's commitment to innovation has driven continuous improvements to these engines, resulting in new variants of the Raptor. Recently, Elon Musk once again revealed new upgrades for the next-gen Raptor engine.
Let’s find out on today’s episode of Alpha Tech:
Unexpected! Elon Musk Just Revealed New-Gen Raptor Inside Starfactory...
In a recent interview video with the famous RU-vidr Tim Dodd - the Everyday Astronaut, Elon Musk revealed the latest changes and upgrades for the next version of the Raptor engine that SpaceX is producing, giving us a more direct view of their rapid development. In the video, we can see that the Raptors look much cleaner compared to previous iterations. This neater appearance is mainly due to the reduction of external components, giving the engine a more streamlined and efficient look.
However, it must be noted that this is not yet the Raptor 3 version that the team is aiming for. “But these, these are still not like them, we're not to V3 here yet, right? No.”
Unexpected! Elon Musk Just Revealed New-Gen Raptor Inside Starfactory...
This means that the current version, while more refined than its predecessors, is an intermediate step in the Raptor's evolution. The V3, which is still in development, is expected to incorporate even more advanced features and optimizations.
So, what interesting details did Elon Musk reveal about this engine?

I have gained great pleasure at the immense forward developments in almost all engine types, rocket, jet and ICE. I remember old codgers telling me that engines have reached their peak performance (now over 50 years ago this was said to me) and they mocked me for telling them they were very wrong. Imagine the developments yet to come.

I wonder if any testing has been planned for seeing how these engines hold up when placed in standby for a 2-6 month period required for the transit to Mars. Something that will become more relevant as time goes by moving toward a Mars mission.

@Metalle 13 часов назад

That’s a good point, when a engine is stopped after running and cools down it condenses and components oxidize. Any moving components typically get stuck thereafter. So I guess they will need maintenance astronauts too.

In other words, watch Tim Dodds, the Everyday Astronaut, in order to get the news first-hand.

@user-dl7kp2fn4b 3 дня назад

Elon doesn't have to throw away any of the Starship during testing. Instead of landing on the ocean, land the duo on a barge that is essentially a floating pool of about 15-20ft of water. The barge needs to be a radius of at least the vertical length of the spacecraft or super heavy (duo). When the duo falls over, they land in the pool of water breaking their fall. This water will be heavy and costly to transport, so keep the pool empty, and use pumps to fill it when in position. It can then be drained immediately after landing. He only needs two barges.

@wendellbest2053 3 дня назад

If you have a rocket engine that can go through multiple launches without any major service, Raptor 3 makes sense. If SpaceX has more engines than ships to fly them on, then the longer the engines on the ship run the more time to do engine servicing. High levels of maintenance is basically what killed the shuttle program.

@Metalle 13 часов назад

It’s just unproven, typically the missions are too costly for reusing engines, there is no endurance data on fatigue… you just roll your dice till you find out

@lvlndco 3 дня назад

It sounds like they are going for engine swaps instead of getting into an engine to perform repairs while installed on the booster or ship.

@Knights_of_Zurg 3 дня назад

Agreed. It's easier to swap one out, and then repair it in a shop after the fact, then to try and do it on the launch platform.

@thomasmount3530 3 дня назад

I think you're right. I bet he'll stash a bunch of Raptors in Mars orbit and Mars surface for swapouts.

Maybe that kind of chamber pressure is deemed unsafe by NASA or the FAA for human to ride on, SpaceX is not very open about the percentage of the thrust applied during their flight test, I would bet that it was never at a 100% thrust, max 90 is my guest. I bet.

@wbwarren57 3 дня назад

Free the Boeing two! The good news about the current situation is that there is already a feature film pretty much about this exact situation! Go take a look at the plot for the movie “marooned“ starring Gene Hackman that was released in November 1969. In that movie, Three Apollo astronauts are marooned in orbit over the earth when they try and return from new space station. I’m not sure if they actually get saved. However, would it be possible for NASA to send the movie up to them in the ISS so that they could watch it in order to kill time?

@eugenecbell 3 дня назад

Yes, I remember it. I think they saved them in the end, Hollywood not real life. The NASA upper management should watch it annually.

Hey guys, the British developt a cooling the fuel system for super heated fuel that is very small. They want it to cool the SSTO planes fuel for combustions to take place. example: 100 degrees to negitive 100 degrees in less than a second. So cooling engines, fins, hot points., might work in/ for this idea of intergrating this cooling system to those hot point/ The British SPACE PLANE is calloed the SKILON. God bless the British , your Prodical son the USA, love and esteem you, your King, and the people.

@garylester3976 4 дня назад

I'm so proud of Elon and his guys... They've come a long way since an old dog Navy Radioman explained parts count logic used in electronics engineering. Got down voted on everything... even saying the Mars engine should be the simplest and most reliable rocket engine ever built by humans. Also got down voted for pointing out that in enlightened fabrication, you tried to get three uses out of every piece of metal.. Never expected that logic to be transferred to engines. Also critisized the turbine in the combustion chamber, said it shouldnt even be in there, and that waste heat from the engine should be used to run the pumps if possible. Get a feedback loop going.. Which isnt what they did exactly, but that logic is getting used too. It was pretty stressful taking on the experts already building the best engine on the planet, but knew it could be much better. And the proof is in the pudding... Love seeing every generation get better, instead of it being assumed the latest model was the acme of rocket engines. Planted alot of other concepts too, about potential problem areas like tiles, flappers, hull construction methods, and flight profiles. Also wasnt fond of grid fins on the booster. Some day soon, they are gonna have near perfect chemical rocket tech developed. They ain't stoppin' And I just might live to see Mars with my own eyes...

@AdvantestInc 3 дня назад

How does the elimination of an external heat shield impact the overall efficiency and maintenance of the engine?

@undertow2142 3 дня назад

Part of the reason I think is the integration of external piping of coolant loops around the engine. Making this integral to the rocket results in shorter more direct paths (lower weight, less likely to leak, leaks confined internally to the engine, more effective cooling, less propellant diverted to cooling and greater pump efficiency). Without an external heat shield they don’t have to worry about propellant trapping in the space between the heat shield and engine further making RUD less likely. Maintenance may not be easier but the point of the design is to not need much maintenance to begin with. Clean burning propellant and keeping internal temps well controlled should mean a deep tear down and inspection or replacement of components like bearing is not necessary during the life of the engine. Not an expert, just thoughts I was having while watching Everyday astronauts interview with Elon.

could you use eletric motors gear for turbo pumps

@rocroc 3 дня назад

Brian, I presume you could but that would require batteries. They have used Tesla batteries in the past but I don't know what they still use batteries for today. They are very heavy and take away from the payload of the craft.

@kazedcat 3 дня назад

Rocketlab's Electron rocket uses electric pumps. Sadly electric pumps scale poorly on larger rockets

@wally7856 3 дня назад

Absolutely not. You see, the turbo pump IS the "rocket engine". The combustion chamber and nozzle are just some last minute accessories they throw on, the turbopump is what makes the engine the engine. Each turbopump produces 100,000 horse power! That is 10 top fuel dragsters worth of power crammed into that 300 lb pump per engine. 3,300,000 horse power in total for the boosters 33 raptor engines. Ever seen a 3.3 million hp electric motor? Me neither. The batteries to power that thing would weight more then the whole craft. These rocket turbopumps are not like the fuel pump on your car engine, they ARE the engine!

@madelineremy5128 3 дня назад

@jamesmelandry3595 3 дня назад

The history across all manufacturing up to the present is that if one integrates many different components into one assembly, the repair is to replace the entire assembly instead of opening a flange and replacing the failed gasket, so to speak, or as an example, in all such endeavors the individual components are no longer serviceable,, This does not sound like it adheres to Elons goals or reusability, but if it greatly reduces the need for repair by an exponential figure, the question of reusability will be solved by a near .0001 percent failure rate, it would just be incorporated into the overall cost of the individual flight and mass production would follow, the cost of the flights would be like one failure in every twenty-one thousand uses is expectable.

The raptor engine "IS NOT RELIABLE" It has big problems reigniteing raptor engines is only about 67%. I also think SpaceX is just asking to blow up its only launch site. So the second OLM is ready to be built, on swampland. The concrete alone is a project that will be in holes down to bedrock, and will take years to dry, immersed in swamp water. I would rather he try to land it on a drone ship. If the booster should blow up. Almost did on FLT 4, it just hit water beforehand. Still the water is the best place to stick the lqnding, and will not put anyone in danger. The innovation is almost, not science. Still too much to learn, and fail at.
