Who has ever seen a LOX/Kerosene liquid 🚀 engine with a blue plume 💎💎💎💎? Not only does it look spectacular, but it also serves as undeniable proof of the 99%+ combustion efficiency achieved in this test. Enjoy this 3-minute, 20-second test of E-2, a mostly 3D-printed 22k lbf (10 tf) ORSC LOX/Kerosene liquid rocket engine. Nominal pressure: 100 bar; mixture ratio: 2.7. Recorded today at @nasastennis, this test also secured the duration record for the test stand. E-2 is now available for sale to launch companies.
@launcher @NASAStennis You're using a near-stoichiometric propellant ratio?
@launcher @NASAStennis Wow, that’s a good lookin’ plume
@launcher @NASAStennis Blue flames are the new orange. 😎🚀🔥🔥🔥
@launcher @NASAStennis I am a sucker for diamonds, exhaust diamonds that is 🔥💎🔥💎🔥
@launcher @NASAStennis Such an awesome vid. I don't think I've seen a test stand run were it went that long. So, 2.7:1 is pretty close to stoichiometric just a tad O rich if I did my google-fu correct. Sweet. Thanks! Cheers and much success to y'all!
@launcher @NASAStennis What kind of injector is E-2 using?
@launcher @JaxLR07 @NASAStennis Woow 😍😍 blue flame for the win.
@launcher @NASAStennis Nice example of stoichiometric combustion , maybe efficient but thrust and ISP depends on the combustion products as well
