20 kN cryogenic methane / liquid oxygen rocket engine... ready to fire. Generated autonomously in a matter of hours by the Noyron Large Computational Engineering Model. Metal 3D-printed in copper (CuCrZr). From pure spec to test in less than 3 weeks.show more

Our 20 kN MethaLOX bell-nozzle engine post hot-fire. This... engine was generated by the same Noyron Computational Engineering Model as our aerospike. The engines look entirely different but are simply two expressions of the same thruster DNA.show more

This video shows a static fire test of the... Archimedes rocket engine, developed by Rocket Lab. Archimedes uses liquid methane (LCH.) as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer, a combination known as methalox. During combustion, these cryogenic propellants produce extremely high temperatures (over 3,000°C), hotter than lava. To survive this, the engine circulates cold fuel through its walls before burning it, a technique called regenerative cooling. Multiple Archimedes engines will power Rocket Lab's upcoming Neutron rocket, which is being built to launch satellites and cargo to orbit with lower cost and higher reliability. Rocket Lab is best known for its Electron rocket and is now expanding into larger, reusable launch vehicles with Neutron.show more

RS-25 engines powering the NASA_SLS (Space Launch System) rocket... use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as propellants – the same elements that combine to create water (H2O). For an RS-25 engine test, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are mixed in the engine combustion chamber and ignited, which results in extremely high-temperature exhaust (up to 6,000 degrees F) exiting the nozzle into the flame deflector at a very high rate and pressure. Hundreds of thousands of gallons of water also are flowing into the flame deflector to cool the exhaust and protect the deflector. When the hot exhaust mixes with the water, it creates steam that rises into the atmosphere, forming a cloud that subsequently cools. Depending on the temperature and humidity at the time of the test, this cloud of steam may condense into water and fall in a very limited and localized area. The steam released during a test is water and does not pollute the atmosphere.show more
