These people are so insane and low iq. Crazy to think they walk among us

Make a larger vacuum chamber so the exhaust doesn’t hit the wall and it’ll still produce thrust even without hitting the wall. It blows my mind that you guys seriously think a jet engine or rocket engine works the same as a propeller on a Cessna 😂

Incredible to think that someone worked this out by himself over 340 years ago; yet someone in 2026 with access to thousands of physics textbooks and the internet remains baffled by a relatively simple concept.

This experiment proves that you are not actually watching closely enough. the initial tiny exhaust hits the far wall, and the syringe doesn't move, BUT when the fuel actually ignites properly, then the syringe moves drmatically. LOOK CLOSER and remove your bias.

Newtons 3rd rule is exactly why a rocket works in a vacuum. The combustion creates the force and the rocket is propelled by the reaction. come on.

So throwing mass backwards won’t propel you forward? Yeah. Sure. Ok, genius. What else you got?

No it doesn't. Newton's Third Law of Motion doesn't play favourites. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Every action. You push mass out in one direction, that mass pushes you back in the opposite direction. Always.

“Scientifically” do you think rockets push off air on earth? Do you think 20 million pounds lift due to air? That’s not how rocket thrust works, a jet turbine yes, a rocket no. Rockets propulsion is pressure based, that’s why it works in space. A fire hose doesn’t push off air

Yep: all the jillions of physicists and rocket scientists somehow continue to miss something so fundamentally important to their jobs that they need a dude who fugs around TikTok in a pink t-shirt. Not a one of them know what they’re doing. Yep, that’s gotta be the answer. 🙄

Mass to energy Burn mass That converts to energy Energy goes out the butt Rocket has equal yet opposite reaction to that Rocket go forward

That syringe moved forward in the vacuum chamber Gas shoots backward -> syringe shoots forward. That’s exactly how rockets work in space. The video proves the opposite of what you think.Newton’s 3rd law doesn’t need air.

The air propulsion used on rockets is from C02 compressed gas. When C02 is compressed at a certain pressure it crystallizes. When those crystals are pushed at a high rate of speed it creates an opposite force against the rocket which there for moves it.

The experiment is faulty as it lacks the bell nozzles that make rocket designs work. Even jets work on a similar principles and the same physics as rockets.

Yep he's an idiot. By his logic the laws of physics do not exist in a vacuum. Propellant leaving causes thrust even in a vacuum in fact the energy loss due to resistance virtually ceases to be a major factor vacuum.

Rockets are controlled explosions the people in the rocket are being pushed away from the blast.

When you realize the rocket itself is what it’s pushing off of it makes sense.

Going by that logic airplanes need a wall behind them to go forwards. What about jets they have essentially a smaller version of what a space rocket has and it can move forwards without a wall behind it

bro comes with a video of a syringe attached to a string, without even proving that it’s actually in a vacuum chamber, and then claims that something humanity has demonstrated and verified countless times over many decades is fake and that rockets are CGI lol

Gasses have mass. Here are 2 videos showing rockets in a vacuum. A fragment of the second video was used in the above post. But it's selectively edited. The rocket clearly doesn't move in response to gasses hitting the wall.

So you’re saying you don’t believe in the law of physics, cause I remember every action has an equal and opposite reaction

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The rocket doesn't "push against air" or the ground or a wall. It pushes against the exhaust gas it expels. The gas goes backward the rocket goes forward.
