Title: People on skateboards.
Post by: Papa Legba on September 30, 2015, 04:20:23 PM
Here is a thread for satanic sci-fi cultists to post photos/videos of people on skateboards that they think somehow prove that rockets will function in a vacuum.

Newton, Joules & Thomson will be spinning in their graves at such nonsense, but I guess these cultists are too satanically brainwashed to comprehend how basic scientific principles work...

Whatever; knock yourselves out, psychos!

Why wouldn't a rocket work in a vacuum?

Because there's nothing for the exhaust to push against.  Duh.

Ha ha ha ha! Free expansion of a gas is applicable only in a closed system such as a piston. This is not a closed system.

LOL!!!

No, numbskull; it's conservation of momentum that's only applicable to a closed system.

Free Expansion will occur whenever any pressurised gas is introduced into any vacuum.

& in a vacuum as large & hard as 'space' allegedly is, that means BIG problems for a GAS-powered rocket...

Really; you need to go howl your madness at Newton, Joules & Thomson, not me.

For its their laws you are arguing against.

Well...
Ever seen FAIL videos where people get slammed in the face by the gun after firing a shot? That's caused by conservation of momentum.

The force that the explosion used on the bullet has an equal and opposite reaction force back towards the gun.

That's why the gum slams back.

The same CoM applies in vacuum where if you fire a bullet, you would physically be pushed back because you are not attached to anything, so the movement will actually be more significant in space.
Imagine the gas rocket as a huge gun firing trillions of gas particles into space, although each pushes the spaceship the opposite direction a tiny amount, together they make it move.

(And yes I know guns don't work in space cuz there's no oxygen and explosion and stuff, but I'm just using it as an example.)

EDIT:
Actually guns can work in space cuz they come with their own oxydiser, as it turns out ;)

The following quote from a previous post on another thread shows the complete lack of understanding shown by PL, and is as follows -

'A rocket & its exhaust are NOT Object A & Object B in a Newton 3 scenario; it is clear to a child that they both move together & are part of the same thing.

The combustED gases may trail off; but the combustING gases stay with the rocket at all times.

As previously stated, the 'man on skateboard' FALSE rocketry analogy is clearly more suited to describing the recoil from a gun.

Thus, the ball (Object A), represents the projectile; the skateboard (Object B) represents the gun; & the man, in THRUSTING or APPLYING PRESSURE/FORCE upon the ball represents the propulsive charge (i.e. gunpowder or such).'


Laughably, he has no idea where the skateboard fits into the experiment. He doesn't even realise that the skateboard is only there to act as a simulated frictionless platform on which to put the experiment on. I would have to assume, that if the experiment was conducted on an ice rink, PL would then state that the ice skates also represented the gun or Object B, as he also labels the skateboard as the gun or Object B?

In the 'man throwing ball' experiment, Object A is the ball, and Object B is the man - this is quite simple.

He actually understands that Object A is the ball, but then loses the plot altogether, and remarkably labels the skateboard Object B, when in actual fact, the skateboard's only purpose is to act as a platform on which to base the experiment.

In another example of pure stupidity, PL can't even see the comparison between a cannon firing a cannonball, and the man throwing a ball, even though it's obvious that exactly the same conservation of momentum laws are being applied.

A cannon 'throws' a cannonball in EXACTLY the same way as a man 'throws' a ball - what's the difference?
Obviously the man is forced in the opposite direction to the ball he has just thrown, just as the cannon is forced in the opposite direction to the cannonball which the cannon has just 'thrown'.


And here's another laughable statement made previously by PL in another thread -

'In fact, it is the man's ARM, in throwing (i.e. imparting THRUST upon) the ball, that represents the exhaust; whilst the BALL represents an external mass such as the atmosphere .'


In this above statement, PL now tells us that the ball actually isn't Object A at all, and it somehow 'represents an external mass such as the atmosphere'?
And deary me, he actually thinks the man's arm, which is providing thrust to the ball, represents the exhaust?  No, no, no, the ball is the exhaust - how anyone can get this wrong is beyond me, but why am I not surprised that a few 'special' people can get it soooooooooooo wrong.

It is patently clear from the above, that PL's level of understanding about conservation of momentum laws, and how to correctly label components in an experiment, is virtually non-existent.

Yet, he thinks that he can base his arguments on these obvious mistakes, and then wonders why he gains no credibility with his posts.

Naively, he thinks we can't see through his ignorance, but sorry to inform you PL, you ignorance is out in the wide open for everybody to see, and this becomes more and more apparent with each subsequent post you make on the subject.

Wtf did all that gibberish mean, chtwrone?

Words aren't Reality, frenzied psycho.

COM only applies to Closed Systems; fine when you're talking about your man on a skateboard, but not so much when you're talking about a gas-filled rocket in a practically-infinite vacuum, which is pretty much the definition of an Open System.

Free Expansion will occur when a rocket releases gas into a vacuum; the internal & external pressures will equalise without any work being done.

The rocket will go Nowhere.

Because you cannot Push against Nothing.

If you disagree, take it up with Newton, Joules & Thomson; for it is THEIR laws you are arguing against.

Bye-bye!

No, numbskull; it's conservation of momentum that's only applicable to a closed system.

Free Expansion will occur whenever any pressurised gas is introduced into any vacuum.
Then it's a good thing that the main action/reaction between the expanding gasses and the rocket happens within the combustion chamber of the rocket engine and not in the vacuum of space.

Also, free expansion assumes an ideal gas with no mass.  Are you suggesting that a rocket's exhaust gasses do not have any mass?

Really; you need to go howl your madness at Newton, Joules & Thomson, not me.

For its their laws you are arguing against.
On the contrary, those are the laws that, when properly applied, make space flight possible.

A gun firing is a very good analogy to use here.  The rocket is the gun, explosion exiting the nozzle at the bottom is the bullet being fired, the recoil is what moves the rocket.

A rocket will not "work just fine" with the nozzle pointing 90 degrees the wrong way unless you think "work just fine" means spinning in a circle until it crashes.

The purpose of an attitude control thruster is to provide a moment about the center of mass of a rocket body.  Oh, and they work just fine.

Again, the physical location of the engine does not negate the physics of said engine.

You guys are confusing me. If the work, meaning what causes it to fly in a vacuum, is being done in the combustion chamber of the rocket engine and the expelling gasses out the nozzle is not doing any of the work, then it shouldn't matter where the exhaust nozzles are pointed. Simple little control surfaces should do the trick of steering it just fine. What I'm suggesting should also work just fine in the atmosphere as well. If not, Please explain.

The whole process is made far more understandable when you look at what is actually happening and causing the net force that drives the rocket forwards.

Fuel and oxidiser are pumped into the combustion chamber and ignited creating exhaust particles that are accelerated to high velocity and creates a very large pressure. The action of the exhaust particles impacting the chamber are what gives momentum to the rocket. This momentum is upwards because there is a hole at the bottom (the nozzle). This means that the forces are not equal. There is a greater force upwards than downwards because the exhaust particles can pass out the bottom without imparting force.

Net force upwards accelerates the rocket. This is why a vacuum is not a problem. It is the simple action of exhaust particles impacting the combustion chamber exerting net force upwards.

I'm sorry I'm a little slow here, please be patient. I understand Newton's third law of motion, but that doesn't mean that the reaction in the opposite direction is doing any work. It is just wasted energy in the opposite direction in the form of exhaust. It can be diverted anywhere out the side of the rocket. If that is not the case then the exhaust is doing work by pushing against the ground and atmosphere and that means it must stay at the rear of the rocket facing the opposite direction.

Would someone please show me the equations that show a rocket needs something to "push against", because here is why you don't need an atmosphere for it to work.

 Let us begin with Newton's second law of motion:

d (M u) / dt = F net

where M is the mass of the rocket, u is the velocity of the rocket, F net is the net external force on the rocket and the symbol d / dt denotes that this is a differential equation in time t. The only external force which we will consider is the thrust from the propulsion system.
The thrust equation is given by:

F = mdot * Veq

where mdot is the mass flow rate, and Veq is the equivalent exit velocity of the nozzle which is defined to be:

Veq = V exit + (p exit - p0) * Aexit / mdot

where V exit is the exit velocity, p exit is the exit pressure, p0 is the free stream pressure, and A exit is the exit area of the nozzle. Veq is also related to the specific impulse Isp:

Veq = Isp * g0

where g0 is the gravitational constant. m dot is mass flow rate and is equal to the change in the mass of the propellants mp on board the rocket:

mdot = d mp / dt

Substituting the expression for the thrust into the motion equation gives:

d (M u) / dt = V eq * d mp / dt

d (M u) = Veq d mp

Expanding the left side of the equation:

M du + u dM = Veq d mp

Assume we are moving with the rocket, then the value of u is zero:

M du = Veq d mp

Now, if we consider the instantaneous mass of the rocket M, the mass is composed of two main parts, the empty mass me and the propellant mass mp. The empty mass does not change with time, but the mass of propellants on board the rocket does change with time:

M(t) = me + mp (t)

Initially, the full mass of the rocket mf contains the empty mass and all of the propellant at lift off. At the end of the burn, the mass of the rocket contains only the empty mass:

M initial = mf = me + mp

M final = me

The change on the mass of the rocket is equal to the change in mass of the propellant, which is negative, since propellant mass is constantly being ejected out of the nozzle:

dM = - d mp

If we substitute this relation into the motion equation:

M du = - Veq dM

du = - Veq dM / M

We can now integrate this equation:

delta u = - Veq ln (M)

where delta represents the change in velocity, and ln is the symbol for the natural logarithmic function. The limits of integration are from the initial mass of the rocket to the final mass of the rocket. Substituting for these values we obtain:

delta u = Veq ln (mf / me)

This equation is called the ideal rocket equation. There are several additional forms of this equation which we list here: Using the definition of the propellant mass ratio MR

MR = mf / me

delta u = Veq * ln (MR)

or in terms of the specific impulse of the engine:

delta u = Isp * g0 * ln (MR)

If we have a desired delta u for a maneuver, we can invert this equation to determine the amount of propellant required:

MR = exp (delta u / (Isp * g0) )

where exp is the exponential function.
If you include the effects of gravity, the rocket equation becomes:

delta u = Veq ln (MR) - g0 * tb

where tb is the time for the burn.

And this is how rockets work.

where g0 is the gravitational constant. m dot is mass flow rate and is equal to the change in the mass of the propellants mp on board the rocket:

mdot = d mp / dt

Substituting the expression for the thrust into the motion equation gives:

d (M u) / dt = V eq * d mp / dt

d (M u) = Veq d mp

Expanding the left side of the equation:

M du + u dM = Veq d mp

Assume we are moving with the rocket, then the value of u is zero:

M du = Veq d mp

Now, if we consider the instantaneous mass of the rocket M, the mass is composed of two main parts, the empty mass me and the propellant mass mp. The empty mass does not change with time, but the mass of propellants on board the rocket does change with time:

M(t) = me + mp (t)

Initially, the full mass of the rocket mf contains the empty mass and all of the propellant at lift off. At the end of the burn, the mass of the rocket contains only the empty mass:

M initial = mf = me + mp

M final = me

The change on the mass of the rocket is equal to the change in mass of the propellant, which is negative, since propellant mass is constantly being ejected out of the nozzle:

dM = - d mp

If we substitute this relation into the motion equation:

M du = - Veq dM

du = - Veq dM / M

We can now integrate this equation:

delta u = - Veq ln (M)

where delta represents the change in velocity, and ln is the symbol for the natural logarithmic function. The limits of integration are from the initial mass of the rocket to the final mass of the rocket. Substituting for these values we obtain:

delta u = Veq ln (mf / me)

This equation is called the ideal rocket equation. There are several additional forms of this equation which we list here: Using the definition of the propellant mass ratio MR

MR = mf / me

delta u = Veq * ln (MR)

or in terms of the specific impulse of the engine:

delta u = Isp * g0 * ln (MR)

If we have a desired delta u for a maneuver, we can invert this equation to determine the amount of propellant required:

MR = exp (delta u / (Isp * g0) )

where exp is the exponential function.
If you include the effects of gravity, the rocket equation becomes:

delta u = Veq ln (MR) - g0 * tb

where tb is the time for the burn.

And this is how rockets work.


don't throw a bunch of equations in the mix that mean nothing. If you don't know how rockets work, then stay out of the discussion.

No. Why would I think that? I actually know what I'm talking about.

A rocket will not "work just fine" with the nozzle pointing 90 degrees the wrong way unless you think "work just fine" means spinning in a circle until it crashes.

Free expansion applies to a closed system, always has.  But even if you still won't accept that, consider this.
Before opened to a vacuum you have gas molecules moving in all directions
gas is not a magical ethereal substance that instantly vanishes in a vacuum, but a collection of individual molecules or atoms, each of  which behaves just like a tiny solid object. It keeps going in the same direction at the same velocity until it hits either another gas molecule or the walls of the rocket engine. Since they're all going in random directions to start, the only way to get most of them to leave the rocket through the nozzle is to let them bounce repeatedly off the inside walls and each other until they finally go in the right direction and leave. It's those bounces -- otherwise known as gas pressure -- that impart(s) thrust. Most of them cancel each other, but that very last bounce is the one that does nearly all the work that molecule will do for us.

for them to not induce a thrust, something would have to change their velocity.  A vacuum can't do that.

If that were true then the greatest thrust would occur while on the ground and decrease as they rise and the air gets thinner.  They have been measured to have increased thrust as the air gets thinner.

Your explaination is garbage. The exhaust exits the rocket and hits the ground. The exhaust pushes against the ground an the ground pushed against the exhaust. The exhaust had already left the rocket at this point so how does that then push the rocket......?

The reality. Reactants ignite in the combustion chamber and impact the reaction chamber walls. the exhaust pushes against the walls pushing the rocket and the walls push against the exhaust forcing it out the nozzle.

I'm not lying.  If you could prove free expansion was described in an open system you would have by now.  Free expansion is also described as an adiabatic process.  An adiabatic process is one that occurs without transfer of heat or matter between a system and its surroundings.  A rocket is most certainly NOT an adiabatic process.

And you haven't answered the question.
What changes the direction and velocity of the gas molecules that were moving away from the opening when you open it?  A vacuum can't do it.  A vacuum is nothing and can do no work.  To change the velocity it takes work.

Of course, a more accurate way of factoring the vacuum into your model would be to reduce the mass of the ball to Zero, thus reproducing the Zero pressure found therein.

Back to the trusty old man on skateboard!

Remove the ball from the experiment & what would happen when the man pushes his arms out?

Nothing!

There: fixed it for you.

It seems you had trouble understanding my last post (too complicated for you?) so here is another post that hopefully you can understand.


Let's look at 3 different systems, and label each component in those systems, to see if they have any similarities.

Firstly, let's look at the cannon and cannonball system.  Let's label the cannon as Object A and the cannonball as Object B. The action of expelling the cannonball out of the cannon, causes the cannon to move in the opposite direction to that of the cannonball. This is a simple 'action' and 'reaction' scenario, and is obviously consistent with Newton's laws concerning conservation of momentum.

Secondly, let's look at the man and the medicine ball system (the system is sitting on a skateboard, the only purpose of which is to simulate a frictionless surface).  Let's label the man as Object A and the medicine ball as Object B. The action of throwing the medicine ball, causes the man to move in the opposite direction to that of the medicine ball. This is a simple 'action' and 'reaction' scenario, and is obviously consistent with Newton's laws concerning conservation of momentum.

Thirdly, let's look at the rocket and the fuel system. Let's label the rocket as Object A and the fuel as Object B. The action of throwing the fuel (burnt exhaust gases) out of the rocket, causes the rocket to move in the opposite direction to that of the fuel (burnt exhaust gases). This is a simple 'action' and 'reaction' scenario, and is obviously consistent with Newton's laws concerning conservation of momentum.


So as we can see from the 3 separate examples above, the act of 'throwing' mass (Object B) in one direction out of the system, causes Object A to be forced in the opposite direction.

At this point I thought it would be beneficial to actually look at the weights of Object B (the thrown objects) in the 3 examples above, ie the cannonball, the medicine ball and the rocket fuel.

A cannonball typically weighs 12 kilograms.
A medicine ball typically weighs 8 kilograms.
For the weight of rocket fuel, let's look at the 1st stage of the Apollo Saturn V rocket. It burnt a staggering 15 tons of fuel EVERY SECOND, and virtually ALL OF THIS MASS was expelled out of its engine nozzles at over 4 kilometres per second (= a HUGE amount of momentum).

Conclusion -

The 3 separate systems that we have looked at above, ALL have the same principles involved concerning the conservation of momentum.

Each of the 3 systems has an Object B (mass) which is being forced in one direction, which is causing Object A to be forced in the opposite direction.


If there is anything that you don't agree with, I would welcome your explanation as to specifically which aspect is troubling you?

I realise that it's your opinion that rockets cannot operate in the vacuum of space, but at this stage of the discussion could you please just deal with rocket propulsion within the atmosphere.

 I am just trying to ascertain your stance on how a rocket actually propels whilst still in the earth's atmosphere, and specifically whether you think a rocket propels due to 'pushing' off the atmosphere, or whether a rocket propels due to Newton's conservation of momentum laws?  Thanks in advance.

Post by: Papa Legba on October 02, 2015, 01:31:36 AM
Thirdly, let's look at the rocket and the fuel system. Let's label the rocket as Object A and the fuel as Object B.

Aaaaand FAIL!

This is not the same system as in your previous examples; in the cannon example you had object A & object B with the propellant (i.e. gunpowder) between them. In your man on skateboard you had object A & object B with the propellant (i.e. the man's arm) between them.

But in your rocket example you ONLY have object A & the propellant (i.e. the fuel).

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil object required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.
Title: Re: People on skateboards.

Object B is the exhaust. It has mass and therefore acts to transfer momentum.

Post by: Papa Legba on October 02, 2015, 02:44:49 AM
Now I know you're just trolling.

Read my last post; the 1st two examples have object A & object B, with the propellant, P, sitting between them.

But in the case of the rocket, we only have object A & the propellant, P.

There is clearly no object B.

Ergo, no motion can be produced.

But, as rockets do produce motion, another mass must replace object B.

The only possibility for that mass is the atmosphere.

Ergo, rockets push on the atmosphere.

This is VERY simple stuff, mainframes; a child could see it; yet you can not.

Conclusion: Sucks to be you.

Thirdly, let's look at the rocket and the fuel system. Let's label the rocket as Object A and the fuel as Object B.

Aaaaand FAIL!

This is not the same system as in your previous examples; in the cannon example you had object A & object B with the propellant (i.e. gunpowder) between them. In your man on skateboard you had object A & object B with the propellant (i.e. the man's arm) between them.

But in your rocket example you ONLY have object A & the propellant (i.e. the fuel).

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil object required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.


Sorry, but the fail is YOU.

It seems your reading skills are VERY poor, as I most certainly DID label Object B in the rocket example, and here is the relevant quote from my post -

'Thirdly, let's look at the rocket and the fuel system. Let's label the rocket as Object A and the fuel as Object B. The action of throwing the fuel (burnt exhaust gases) out of the rocket, causes the rocket to move in the opposite direction to that of the fuel (burnt exhaust gases). This is a simple 'action' and 'reaction' scenario, and is obviously consistent with Newton's laws concerning conservation of momentum.'

The FUEL is 'the necessary recoil object required to produce motion'. 

You do realise that the fuel when expelled out of the rocket at great speed, has considerable mass (15 tons per second in the Apollo Saturn V rocket), and therefore HUGE momentum?  The mass of the fuel does not magically disappear when it's ignited and expelled out of the rocket. Did you not know this?

This is why the 3 examples I gave in my previous post, are using exactly the same conservation of momentum laws to give cause to the motion of the cannon, the man, and the rocket, as they are ALL forcing mass in one direction, ie, the cannonball, the medicine ball, and the burnt fuel.

It seems to me, that you're having trouble realising that the burnt fuel being 'thrown' out of the rocket in one direction, is causing the rocket to be propelled in the opposite direction?  This is EXACTLY the same reason why a cannon moves in one direction because of the weight of the cannonball being expelled in the opposite direction.

EXACTLY the same conservation of momentum laws are applicable in these examples.

If you could prove free expansion was described in an open system you would have by now.  Free expansion is also described as an adiabatic process.  An adiabatic process is one that occurs without transfer of heat or matter between a system and its surroundings.  A rocket is most certainly NOT an adiabatic process.

*Sigh!*

For a demonstration of adiabatic free expansion of a gas, the gas is contained in an insulated container and then allowed to expand into a vacuum. Because there is no external pressure for the gas to expand against, the work done by or on the system is Zero.

What is a rocket in space if not an insulated container full of gas?

What is space if not a vacuum?

Why are you so reluctant to acknowledge the truth of the gas laws of Joules & Thomson?

Last chance...

A rocket exhausting into space is NOT an adiabatic process.  Again, an adiabatic process is one that occurs without transfer of heat or matter between a system and its surroundings.  That is why free expansion is always described as a closed system.  A rocket is most definitely transferring heat and matter with its surroundings.  Joules and Thomson knew that which is why they always described it as a closed system.  If it is an open, non-adiabatic system then free expansion does not apply.  That is the truth of the gas laws of Joules & Thomson.

And you still haven't answered the question.
What changes the direction and velocity of the gas molecules that were moving away from the opening when you open it?  A vacuum can't do it.  A vacuum is nothing and can do no work.  To change the velocity it takes work.

If you think that question was irrelevant and off-topic, you don't even understand your own argument.  Atmospheric pressure at 35,000 feet is 3.46 psi,  compared to 14.7 at sea level.  If it was pushing off the atmosphere for thrust, it would lose a lot of thrust.  Hell, based on your theory, the U2 wouldn't have worked at 70,000 feet.

Frenat: stop twisting words to suit your own delusions.

I just described how adiabatic free expansion is experimentally proven; argue with the proof, not the meaning of individual phrases.

A rocket in space is a very small container of pressurised gas in a very large Zero-pressure environment.

When opened to that Zero-pressure environment, the gas will expand, freely, doing no work, until it encounters resistance.

It is simple stuff, no matter how hard you try to obscure that Fact.

Do you even know what the topic is?  Is the topic not how rockets achieve thrust in space?  Do you think that as the pressure drops, there is a magical cutoff where thrust drops to zero?  Based on your theory how rockets work, the thrust would be directly affected by the number of particles surrounding the rocket, correct?

He pushes off the ball so of course he won't move if you remove the ball.

Exactly! Now you're getting there...

Learning to think at last.

Of course, a more accurate way of factoring the vacuum into your model would be to reduce the mass of the ball to Zero, thus reproducing the Zero pressure found therein.

But that may be a little confusing for you, so let's stick with just removing it altogether for now...

Baby steps, eh?

They carry an oxidiser to ensure thrust into the atmosphere is enough to propel the rocket.

If the rocket just had fuel without pressure than it would be like the water bottle rocket without the added air pumped into it. The water would simply be pushed out by the in rushing atmosphere leaving it useless.

Go and watch an act seeing men or women pouring alcohol into the mouths and then spitting it out. They don't do it by having a combustion chamber inside their mouths, do they?....No they don't.

Yes and I'm well aware the acts don't take off but the principle of what they do to eject the lit fuel over a distance, is down to the air they have stored to push the fuel out, which is only LIT away from the lips...or to marry it up to a rocket...it would be the nozzle.

No combustion chamber inside rockets that carry liquid fuel.

Now a solid fuel rocket is a different matter. The only issue is, they are mainly confined to fire work rockets and small rocket's. No good for large rockets such as the fictional solid rocket boosters of the shuttle. lol.

The only combustion chambers that would work are those on cars and stuff like that. Basically combustion chambers are internal explosions that allow mechanical vehicles ,move along the surface of Earth, HORIZONTALLY due to aiding pistons to turn drive shafts and wheels.

No need for that when you're going ballistic Maverick (reference to Goose in top gun)... because the rocket fuel and oxidiser is enough to thrust against the ATMOSPHERE to SPRINGBOARD the rocket into the air. It's an AIR verses FUEL and oxidizer pressure fight.

I am going to try a slightly different approach to help explain this.

Imagine you have a bomb in the middle of a field with objects sitting around it.  When the bomb is detonated, all of the objects around the bomb move away from the blast.  The explosion is a chemical action that accelerates gas molecules outward that collide with these objects.  When you have enough gas molecules, their mass and velocity (momentum) is transferred to the object.  Now the object won't move as fast as the gas molecules since it has more mass.  This is conservation of momentum.

Now, lets put the bomb in a cylinder that is capped on one end.  When the explosion occurs, the gas molecules again accelerate in all directions, however they push the cylinder only in the direction that has the cap on it as they meet no resistance on the open end.  They push outward on the cap and the sides of the cylinder.  The gas that exits the open end will collide with gas molecules in the atmosphere, but this is external to the system and has no effect on the movement of the capped cylinder.  I hope that makes sense.  The explosion is doing the pushing, not the atmosphere on the outside.

I want everyone to read this. This is a page from a 1941 issue of Popular Science explaining new fangled jet propulsion. We all know jets and rockets work virtually the same way. This article was written explaining the correct way they worked, not the way NASA says. It says very plainly that a "monstrous jet of energy pushing against the atmosphere." It can't get any plainer than that. NASA has simply rewrote history to explain how rockets can work if there is no atmosphere to push against in space.

Read the very next sentence and report back.

Okay, "This backward push-( Meaning pushing against the atmosphere)-produced the equivalent in forward thrust."-( Meaning the rocket went forward)

Just like this shows.

Go and watch an act seeing men or women pouring alcohol into the mouths and then spitting it out. They don't do it by having a combustion chamber inside their mouths, do they?....No they don't.
They don't get pushed backwards when the flame pushes against the atmosphere either, do they?  No, they don't.
No they don't; but imagine if they had a cannister of compressed air inside their guts to aid in shooting that ignited liquid fuel from their mouths. They would be pushed back then.
Their own lungs won't create enough thrust with the fuel mix to create anything other than a fancy flame.

You see folks. This is where the dupe is with rocketry. They pretend that the fuel and oxygen mix inside the rocket is what propels it with no need for any resistant atmospheric barrier to be waiting for the ejected mass of burning fuel to act as a springboard.

It is closed, they can't wiggle out of this. NASA has done a great job of removing this kind of evidence from prying eyes. But if you search hard enough you can usually find tidbits of proof they left behind. Those scientist were real scientist back then, they knew how shit worked. If they knew the BS that is taught in school today they would be turning over in their graves. It's a damn shame we let them get away with it.

Let me try and make you ponder. I doubt it but I'll try. In fact I'm 100% sure you won't ponder it but I'll do it for those who will.

No gases prior to detonation you say. Obvious really in the fictional space vacuum which we have to use so you grasp it all.

Ok so we have a grenade in a vacuum and we pull out the pin. The fuse sets off and the grenade fills with expanded gases that become too strong for the casing. Ok up to now?

So anyway the next scenario is the breach of the casing. This is where you really need to pay attention because we are working in milliseconds here, in this so called vacuum that paves the way for FREE EXPANSION....or as I like to say, "EASY EXPANSION."

Now as soon as something like a grenade breaches, it will breach at the weakest point. So basically the very millisecond that is fractures - all your gases are gone. They are gone because they?....FREELY EXPANDED into that vacuum.
This leaves your grenade intact.

So what happens when the grenade is detonated at sea level atmospheric pressure?
This is why they work, because the expanding gases inside after the pin is pulled, can not....CAN NOT FREELY EXPAND because they are surrounded by a compressed atmosphere that stops those  gases from simply dispersing in milliseconds, because when it breaches, the atmosphere rushes inside as it detonates which causes the grenade to implode and explode, sending shrapnel all over the place.

YES? NO ?

Let's look at two of the preferred analogies for rocket propulsion, then at a rocket itself, & compare them.

1: A cannon firing a cannon-ball. Here you have object A, the cannon, object B, the cannon-ball, with the propellant, P (i.e. gunpowder) between them.

THREE objects.

2: The man on skateboard throwing a ball. Again you have object A, man on skateboard, object B, the ball, with the propellant, P (i.e. the man's arm) between them.

Again; THREE objects.

Now let's look at a rocket: here, you have only object A, the rocket, & the propellant, P (i.e. the fuel).

Only TWO objects.

Object B is missing in the rocket example.

And object B is the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion in an atmosphere, don't we?

So, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the mass of the Atmosphere.

Thus, we get object A, the rocket, object B, the atmosphere, with the propellant, P (i.e. the fuel) sitting between them.

THREE objects.

The requirements for Newton 2 & 3 are fulfilled & motion can be produced.

So, NO atmosphere equals NO motion; therefore rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

I think you are misunderstanding what I was asking.  Detonation occurs at the point you pulled the pin and the fuse sets off.  If gases are forming and pressure is increasing, then detonation has already occurred.  I was asking if that part of the process is possible in a vacuum.

I HAVE explained it before. An adiabatic system is one that does not exchange heat or matter with its surroundings.  A rocket exchanges both.

Free expansion is ALWAYS described in a closed system, a small container of gas expanding into a larger container with a vacuum.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion in an atmosphere, don't we?

So, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the mass of the Atmosphere.

Thus, we get object A, the rocket, object B, the atmosphere, with the propellant, P (i.e. the expanding fuel) sitting between them.

THREE objects.

The requirements for Newton 2 & 3 are fulfilled & motion can be produced.

So, NO atmosphere equals NO motion; therefore rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Wrong, TexasH; this is why I told you we are not 'conversing'; the expanding exhaust of the rocket is clearly the propellant, P; so where is the object B necessary for motion to be produced?

Yet, you just did...

So the cannonball is unnecessary in your analogy?

Then why include it in the first place?

& what about the medicine ball in your man on skateboard analogy?

Then surely that is also unnecessary?

Are they not analogies for the same system?

No-one has addressed this logically, so here it is again:

Let's look at two of the preferred analogies for rocket propulsion, then at a rocket itself, & compare them.

1: A cannon firing a cannon-ball. Here you have object A, the cannon, object B, the cannon-ball, with the propellant, P (i.e. the expanding gunpowder) between them.

THREE objects.

2: The man on skateboard throwing a ball. Again you have object A, man on skateboard, object B, the ball, with the propellant, P (i.e. the expansion of the man's arm) between them.

Again; THREE objects.
A man's arm is a separate object from the man himself?  Umm...  If you say so.

Now let's look at a rocket: here, you have only object A, the rocket, & the propellant, P (i.e. the expanding fuel).

Only TWO objects.
First of all, the propellant isn't just expanding, it's burning.  You know, an energetic chemical reaction that produces a lot of energy.  That alone proves that free expansion doesn't apply.

Secondly, if the man on a skateboard's arm can be considered a separate object, then it stands to reason that the burning propellant of a rocket can be considered a separate object from the exhaust gasses that the reaction produces.  Therefore, we have THREE objects, not two.

Object B is missing in the rocket example.
No, it isn't.  It's the exhaust gasses that are the product of combustion (object B).

And object B is the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.
Which is exactly what the exhaust gasses are, a mass being accelerated out the back of the rocket engine.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion in an atmosphere, don't we?
Yes, for the exact same reason that rockets produce motion outside the atmosphere.

So, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.
Yes.  The exhaust gasses.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the mass of the Atmosphere.
No, it isn't.

Thus, we get object A, the rocket, object B, the atmosphere, with the propellant, P (i.e. the expanding fuel) sitting between them.

THREE objects.

The requirements for Newton 2 & 3 are fulfilled & motion can be produced.
Actually, Newton's 3rd law only requires 2 objects: action and reaction.

So, NO atmosphere equals NO motion; therefore rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.
If you say so.  ::)

Is this a serious question?  It might be hard to attack someone without it.

You could conversely, hang the cannonball from a rope, attached an explosive charge to the side of it, and detonate it.  Guess what, the cannonball will move opposite the direction of the explosive charge.  You could hang a cannonball from a rope in a vacuum, attach an explosive charge to the side of it, and detonate it.  Same thing happens, the cannonball will move opposite the direction of the explosive charge.  It will actually move farther since there wouldn't be air resistance.

No it's not possible but since we are dealing with fantasy vacuums and space, I'm simply using a potential zero psi against a grenade.

Free expansion of gases. You've been told before.
closed system and adiabatic, of which a rocket is neither.
Free expansion can only work in the fantasy of space. The reality is easy expansion because there's always a resistance to expansion, unless - as I say - fictional space vacuum is used.

You don't even know what you're saying by using adiabatic. You found it on google and decided to appears to solve something. What are you talking about?
Explain it instead of saying it. Don't just use the google explanation. Tell me about a closed system while you're at it, just so we know where we stand.
I HAVE explained it before. An adiabatic system is one that does not exchange heat or matter with its surroundings.  A rocket exchanges both.

Free expansion is ALWAYS described in a closed system, a small container of gas expanding into a larger container with a vacuum.

Fire is the result of combustion reactions which are the oxidisation of molecules or atoms releasing large amounts of energy.

Combustion requires a fuel, a source of oxygen and the activation energy required to start the reaction. Usually once started the energy released by one reaction is more than enough to trigger subsequent reactions creating a chain reaction.

In the case of rockets in a vacuum, all the elements are still present within the combustion chamber in the form of keresene(fuel), liquid oxygen, and energy from the ongoing reaction.

Vacuum does not present a problem.

I want everyone to read this. This is a page from a 1941 issue of Popular Science explaining new fangled jet propulsion. We all know jets and rockets work virtually the same way. This article was written explaining the correct way they worked, not the way NASA says. It says very plainly that a "monstrous jet of energy pushing against the atmosphere." It can't get any plainer than that. NASA has simply rewrote history to explain how rockets can work if there is no atmosphere to push against in space.

(http://i.imgur.com/p3JANVi.jpg)

Sorry, Yendor; I didn't see this.

Good find & case closed you'd think...

If you were dealing with intellectually honest people, that is.

Unlike sock-arul, who is desperately trying to twist the meaning of how the article is worded as I write...

You have to remember - we are dealing with addicts here; both to 'space travel' & to... well - let's just say 'other things'.

& an addict will do ANYTHING to get their next fix.

Oh, speaking of which, after its last tl;dr spam-fest:

I hope that makes sense. 

You hope wrong; no 'reward' for you.

It is closed, they can't wiggle out of this. NASA has done a great job of removing this kind of evidence from prying eyes. But if you search hard enough you can usually find tidbits of proof they left behind. Those scientist were real scientist back then, they knew how shit worked. If they knew the BS that is taught in school today they would be turning over in their graves. It's a damn shame we let them get away with it.

That is a fantastic find, Yendor. I also searched for early explanations of how jet engines worked, but sadly failed. As you rightly say, the historical record has been (nearly) wiped clean.

For all you space cultists who believe the crap nasa et el churn out, consider this:

1. You are travelling in a car at 100mph as a passenger.
2. You stick your face out of the window.
3. What happens?
  3a. Nothing.
  3b. My face feels a force, which increases with the speed of the car.
4. You are a particle of gas leaving the exhaust of a rocket at ~6000mph.
5. What happens?
  5a. Nothing.
  5b. The force I feel is massive beyond all belief and creates a wall of force between the atmosphere and the gas trying to exit the nozzle, thereby propelling the rocket in the opposite direction.

I'll start:

3b, 5b.

No, it isn't hard to understand.  YOU are still denying that a rocket is not adiabatic.  YOU are denying that the rocket loses heat and mass.  YOU are denying that free expansion only applies to closed systems.  And now apparently YOU can't understand what the word OR means.
The definition of occurring without loss or gain of heat is more common than the other definition by the way.  AND an exchange CAN be one-way whether you agree or not.

Still fun to watch you squirm and twist words though.  Thanks for the humor!

By the way, you never answered what is supposed to change the direction of the gas molecules in a closed container when opened to a vacuum.  Many of them would be moving in a different direction from the opening.  What part of your vacuum (that you agree is nothing) does the work to change their direction if they are not hitting the other sides of the container?

How many times do I have to tell you that rockets and jets don't push against themselves?  They produce exhaust gasses that push against the engine.  Why is that so hard for you to understand?

Where's 'greatest ever' forum hero 'Engy' when you need him?
My guess is that he thinks that you're not worth the effort.  I'm beginning to agree.

So, a demonstrable force (atmosphere pushing on a face whilst in a fast moving car) is irrelevant, but this unverifiable/invisible/unexperienced anywhere else "force" inside the engine (somehow) is?
Expanding gasses in a combustion chamber are not experienced anywhere else?  ???

Never mind all this spitballing and guesswork. I remember seeing a debate a while ago on whether a plane on a conveyor belt could take off. In fact, it could, but people were at each others' throats for countless pages each convinced they were right. Theorizing ain't gonna get you anywhere.
Someone needs to bite the bullet and test it. Airtight seal, gun, tube, vacuum pump. Is there recoil?
Of course a plane can take off on a conveyor belt, why wouldn't it and what are you trying to prove with this?

Never mind the plane example. It was just an example of how theoretical debates can be futile. Some don't think the plane would accelerate if a conveyor belt went back at the same speed it was meant to go forwards. Theorizing is pretty pointless.
Theorising is only pointless when it goes against lying people who prefer to have their theories thought of as fact.

Yeah you make valid points on the whole. I mean, you're right in that nothing we say will prove or convince the people who have no desire to see anything different from their indoctrinated path of life...BUT, it's more about those who feel the need to at least get to view a potential truth of a lie, regardless of being able to do anything about it.


To put it plainly, it's more like sitting in a room with a known person who has an answer for everything and has top be louder than anyone in making their points.
Of course, we can sit there and simply nod our heads to their answers to life, knowing that it's potentially bullshit. The problem with this is, once people start seeing the nodding heads, they copy it rather than question what they heard.
This provides the ammunition and the confidence for the gob shite to carry on spewing their crap, knowing that peer pressure ensures they get their place on their soap box all the time.

It's just nice to know that a sly nudge to the person near you that clearly looks uncomfortable with the soap box prick's answers, can gain an ally into at least (at first) a whisper in the potential right direction rather than simply follow a set direction  that is a straight path and a mundane walk that shows nothing different with each step, nor any deviations to that path.

We may not be able to physically prove much stuff that kills off the globe model but they cannot physically prove the opposite, except to use sleight of hand and mouth with gimmicks. Never once will someone grab your hand and take you to physically see what they tell you is reality...unless they take you and you don't come back.

It's a bit like looking out for your old neighbour. You can ask her carer how the neighbour is and can be told he/she is fine and comfy. You get shown photo's and video of the neighbour appearing fine.
One day you ask to see the neighbour physically for peace of mind, to be told that you can't because the nurse is there or he/she is in hospital for a check up...you know that sort of thing.

That's the type of crap that we deal with. Everything is shrouded in security or you're kept at ridiculous arms length that your eyes are viewing nothing that you can discern as what you're told you're viewing.
And so on.

I'd rather go to my grave knowing that I didn't swallow the bullshit in large spoonfull's and that a lot of what I swallowed as a youngster was digested and crapped out, never to be eaten again.

You are trying to make a black & white issue out of what is clearly a matter of relative pressures.

A rocket in an atmosphere is not adiabatic, obviously.

But when it is in a vacuum then it will be adiabatic, again obviously.

Because you cannot 'exchange' heat & matter with NOTHING.

Yes?

It's all a matter of pressure gradients, which of course your mechanical contact-based models of rocketry can not take into account.

There's no way to kill off any model when people can keep making excuses, but hopefully we can keep presenting examples until they see how tenuous and patched up the RE notion is, that just one piece of tape pulled will bring it all toppling down.

Hmm, 'cause that is not what you just said:

No. Why would I think that? I actually know what I'm talking about.

Oh, and this:
A rocket will not "work just fine" with the nozzle pointing 90 degrees the wrong way unless you think "work just fine" means spinning in a circle until it crashes.

Are you stupid?

We know that; but adiabatic expansion refers to an EXCHANGE of heat & mass.

So as the rocket loses heat & mass it gains nothing in return & no work is done.

& you cannot EXCHANGE heat & mass with NOTHING.
the word exchange is used because things CAN go in both directions, not that they have to.  Have you EVER taken a physics class?  An exchange CAN be one way whether you like it or not.  The other definition about it happening without a gain or loss of heat is also more common.  Interesting that you ignore that one.

Since you insist on the exchange being two way.  In an atmosphere, what heat and mass is the rocket gaining as it is rapidly losing both?  IF any, is it consequential to the reaction?

In a vacuum, can it not gain heat from the Sun?


Whether in an atmosphere or not, it is NOT adiabatic.

Half right, half wrong, ALL troll...

Let's look at two of the preferred analogies for rocket propulsion, then at a rocket itself, & compare them.

1: A cannon firing a cannon-ball. Here you have object A, the cannon, object B, the cannon-ball, with the propellant, P (i.e. gunpowder) between them.

THREE objects.

2: The man on skateboard throwing a ball. Again you have object A, man on skateboard, object B, the ball, with the propellant, P (i.e. the man's arm) between them.

Again; THREE objects.

Now let's look at a rocket: here, you have only object A, the rocket, & the propellant, P (i.e. the fuel).

Only TWO objects.

Object B is missing in the rocket example.

And object B is the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion in an atmosphere, don't we?

So, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the mass of the Atmosphere.

Thus, we get object A, the rocket, object B, the atmosphere, with the propellant, P (i.e. the fuel) sitting between them.

THREE objects.

The requirements for Newton 2 & 3 are fulfilled & motion can be produced.

So, NO atmosphere equals NO motion; therefore rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.


During a rocket's operation within the atmosphere, it loses a considerable amount of mass.

What is this lost mass, and where does it go?
Title: Re: People on skateboards.
Post by: Papa Legba on October 04, 2015, 02:08:23 PM
A better question would be : what is this lost mass doing?

Answer: it is expanding (i.e. combusting), just like the propellant, P, in my above examples.

We see that P in the above examples expands between 2 masses in order to create recoil, so in the case of a rocket we have mass 1, the rocket; P, the expanding propellant, and... What, exactly?

No, they aren't.  Transfer (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transfer) is a one way action while exchange (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exchange) is a two way, reciprocal action.  A rocket engine is moving heat and mass into the vacuum of space and receiving nothing in return.

Interesting to note, that you side-stepped my questions and replaced them with your own.

The first question I asked was - 'What is the lost mass?'

Answer - The fuel.

The second question I asked was - 'Where does it go?'

Answer - It leaves the rocket via the engine nozzles in the form of high speed super heated exhaust gas particles.

I could have asked another question - 'If for example, 500kg of fuel is burnt every second in the combustion chamber and ejected out of the engine nozzles, how much lighter does the rocket become every second?'

Answer - 500kg

And another VERY interesting question that could have been asked -  'How much does 1 seconds worth of ejected exhaust weigh?'

Answer - 500kg


Do you agree with all of the above answers?


So if we look at the momentum equation, where   P = mv  and apply this to the high speed 500kg/s rocket exhaust, it soon becomes obvious that a huge amount of momentum has been created.

Now when we look at the applicable Newtonian law, we see that momentum MUST be conserved, ie the total amount of momentum must equal zero, which means the mass and the velocity of the rocket itself must balance the equation.

Therefore, we have now established that the rocket moves because of the momentum created by the high speed exhaust gases (formerly unburnt fuel).

And please remember, 500 kg of fuel combusted per second = 500 kg of high speed exhaust per second.

But, as I correctly predicted, quibbling over definitions is your last hope of 'victory', so it is what you are doing.

When rocket fuel is combusted within the combustion chamber, it is then ejected out through the engine nozzles as high speed super heated exhaust gas particles. As in my previous example, if 500kg of fuel is combusted within the engine every second, then obviously 500kg of high speed super heated exhaust is also created every second - there is NO mass lost during this process.

It seems to me, that you're not comprehending that the 500kg of fuel that is combusted every second, retains the same weight when it is ejected out of the engine nozzles, ie. the newly created exhaust weighs exactly the same as the fuel that it formerly existed as - all that's happened, is that this 'parcel of mass' has changed its form from a liquid with 500kg of mass, to exhaust particles with 500kg of mass.

I hope you're not going to say that a mass of 500kg travelling at hypersonic speed does not have a large amount of momentum? And remember that this 500kg parcel of mass is being created and ejected out of the system every second.

How can you not understand that this 500kg of exhaust (formerly 500kg of fuel), which is created every second, is your 'mystery' mass 2?

You seem quite happy that the system comprising a cannon and a cannonball, causes the cannon to recoil due to the momentum of the cannonball travelling in the opposite direction, yet you can't see that the system comprised of a rocket and its fuel, acts in exactly the same way, whereby the momentum of the exhaust (mass 2) causes the rocket to be propelled (recoiled) in the opposite direction?

So the relevant conservation of momentum equation looks like this -   

M(rocket) V(rocket) =  - M(exhaust) V(exhaust)


Just to recap, it's the 500kg of exhaust (formerly 500kg of fuel) being ejected out of the 'rocket system' every second, that is mass 2.
This is EXACTLY the same as the cannonball (mass 2) being ejected out of the 'cannon/cannonball system' and the medicine ball (mass 2) being ejected out of the 'man/medicine ball system'.

Any more petty quibbling you'd like to shit up the thread with?

An adiabatic process is one in which no heat or mass is transferred to the external environment.

Given that a rocket in atmosphere or in a vacuum is ejecting mass and energy in the form of super heated exhaust particles, then a rocket is most definitely not adiabatic.

I suppose that you're right.  We shouldn't quibble over 'transfer' vs 'exchange' when a rocket engine in a vacuum doesn't fit the definition of adiabatic either way.  Unless you care to explain how chucking hot exhaust gasses into a vacuum is adiabatic.

This article was written explaining the correct way they worked, not the way NASA says. It says very plainly that a "monstrous jet of energy pushing against the atmosphere." It can't get any plainer than that. NASA has simply rewrote history to explain how rockets can work if there is no atmosphere to push against in space.

All rockets and jet engines have exhaust that pushes against the atmosphere. It has to push against the atmosphere to leave the nozzle. It does not say that the push is what actually propels the rocket or jet.

When rocket fuel is combusted within the combustion chamber, it is then ejected out through the engine nozzles as high speed super heated exhaust gas particles. As in my previous example, if 500kg of fuel is combusted within the engine every second, then obviously 500kg of high speed super heated exhaust is also created every second - there is NO mass lost during this process.

It seems to me, that you're not comprehending that the 500kg of fuel that is combusted every second, retains the same weight when it is ejected out of the engine nozzles, ie. the newly created exhaust weighs exactly the same as the fuel that it formerly existed as - all that's happened, is that this 'parcel of mass' has changed its form from a liquid with 500kg of mass, to exhaust particles with 500kg of mass.

I hope you're not going to say that a mass of 500kg travelling at hypersonic speed does not have a large amount of momentum? And remember that this 500kg parcel of mass is being created and ejected out of the system every second.

How can you not understand that this 500kg of exhaust (formerly 500kg of fuel), which is created every second, is your 'mystery' mass 2?

You seem quite happy that the system comprising a cannon and a cannonball, causes the cannon to recoil due to the momentum of the cannonball travelling in the opposite direction, yet you can't see that the system comprised of a rocket and its fuel, acts in exactly the same way, whereby the momentum of the exhaust (mass 2) causes the rocket to be propelled (recoiled) in the opposite direction?

So the relevant conservation of momentum equation looks like this -   

M(rocket) V(rocket) =  - M(exhaust) V(exhaust)


Just to recap, it's the 500kg of exhaust (formerly 500kg of fuel) being ejected out of the 'rocket system' every second, that is mass 2.
This is EXACTLY the same as the cannonball (mass 2) being ejected out of the 'cannon/cannonball system' and the medicine ball (mass 2) being ejected out of the 'man/medicine ball system'.


In my above example, when 500kg of fuel is combusted and expelled at high speed out of the engine nozzles every second, does the rocket lose 500kg of weight every second?

Yes, of course it does.

So to satisfy the conservation of momentum laws, what MUST happen to the rocket?

I eagerly await your answer.

Yes, I'm not surprised you haven't answered my simple question.

Just to be clear, I am not presently dealing with the theory behind rocket propulsion in a vacuum, but as to how a rocket is propelled in the atmosphere.

Going back to my example, if the rocket is losing 500kg of mass every second, as a consequence of the combusting and ejection of 500kg of fuel in the form of high speed exhaust particles (which also weigh 500kg), according to the conservation of momentum laws, what MUST happen to the rocket to balance the equation so that the total momentum equals zero?

Can you not answer this question?  Too hard?

I am not ignoring the vacuum side of this discussion at all, due to the fact that I am dealing with the theory behind rocket propulsion within the atmosphere, that is all.

You do realise that in my previous example, 500kg of fuel is being converted every second into high speed exhaust particles. In other words, your mysterious mass 2 is this parcel of exhaust particles weighing 500kg, which is being created every second, and is being ejected out of the engine nozzles.
 Let's be clear on this, just because the fuel has been converted into exhaust particles, does not mean that it has lost any mass - the exhaust which is being created and ejected at high speed out of the engine nozzles every second, still weighs 500kg - do you actually get this?


Why can't you comprehend that this parcel of exhaust particles, which weighs 500kg, is mass 2?

What exhaust exactly? Is it the cloud of smoke that we see trailing a rocket? If so, this is not what we are talking about for propulsion. It's that big thrusting fire that comes out of the back before it turns into exhaust.

You see, exhaust is exactly what it says. It's exhausted fuel. Burning fuel is not exhausted....it is "exhausting."

Exhaust is any mass that is ejected from the rocket nozzle. Whether or not it has completely combusted is besides the point, it is still mass being ejected from the rocket nozzle and therefore providing thrust through conservation of momentum.

Ok let me try and enlighten you.
Now I want you to think about this carefully.

In a car, fuel and air is mixed in a combustion chamber that pushes a piston to do work turning a crank shaft, etc all the way to the wheels to move them. With each piston push, the fuel is spent as a force and it ejected as a gas. It is exhausted and passes through a pipe that throws that exhausted gas away from the car.

So what we have here is...basically your rocket. When I say this, I mean that your rocket is supposedly working on exactly the same principle, as in fuel and air mix into a COMBUSTION CHAMBER and IGNITED to burn and be ejected.

The problem that your rocket has is that it's internal combustion chamber has no work to do. It does not mechanically turn a propeller or some kind of flapping wings or whatever, as a car would use wheels.

So what's really happening?

It's really very simple if you use your common sense.
It means that a rocket does not use an internal combustion chamber. It's a fallacy. It's a con. It's a massive clever dupe.

What it does use is a chamber to MIX the UNBURNED FUEL and then it is ignited as it leaves the nozzle. It is ignited when it leaves the nozzle because this is where the work needs to be done to springboard that rocket vertically into the air against the EXTERNAL ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE that is creating a barrier to that ejected burning fuel.

The ejected burning fuel is super expanded matter against a dense external barrier and it creates a massive push against that dense atmosphere due to the expansion I just mentioned. This forces that atmosphere aside like a big rubber elastic sheet which springs back (squeezes) against that energy expansion of burning fuel. This creates the lift of the rocket. It's merely a fight of fuel against atmosphere.

There's nothing going on inside that rocket to make it fly in terms of burning fuel. Nothing  at all.

Now understand this because the sooner you do, the sooner you will wake up to the bullshit that  has been planted into your head and if you are adult, you should know better.

The rocket burns more fuel more inefficiently, so the gasses that are spewed out of the rocket's "exhaust pipe" (aka nozzle) are more (greater total mass) and they go out with more speed (greater motion). The higher the mass being spewed out and the higher motion it has, the higher the propelling force. A car needs a piston-system to get enough force out of the burnt propellant, since the small amount spewed out from car exhaust pipes are not enough to drive the car alone. The amount spewed out from rockets are enough to lift a rocket though.

With each piston push, the fuel is spent as a force and it ejected as a gas. It is exhausted and passes through a pipe that throws that exhausted gas away from the car.

So what we have here is...basically your rocket. When I say this, I mean that your rocket is supposedly working on exactly the same principle, as in fuel and air mix into a COMBUSTION CHAMBER and IGNITED to burn and be ejected.

The problem that your rocket has is that it's internal combustion chamber has no work to do. It does not mechanically turn a propeller or some kind of flapping wings or whatever, as a car would use wheels.

So what's really happening?

The rocket burns more fuel more inefficiently, so the gasses that are spewed out of the rocket's "exhaust pipe" (aka nozzle) are more (greater total mass) and they go out with more speed (greater motion). The higher the mass being spewed out and the higher motion it has, the higher the propelling force. A car needs a piston-system to get enough force out of the burnt propellant, since the small amount spewed out from car exhaust pipes are not enough to drive the car alone. The amount spewed out from rockets are enough to lift a rocket though.
I'll give you one more chance to make it sound credible.

It works like a carbonic cartridge.

Dunno what you mean by "sound credible". If you don't think it's credible point out the flaws.
Start paying attention and one day you will learn something instead of hanging onto the coat tails of bullshit "space" rocket, so called scientists.

I want everyone to read this. It is from a Powerpoint presentation from the European Union group that is designed to get children interested in flying. The website is www.flyhigher.eu (http://www.flyhigher.eu). Now read it carefully, this is what the europeans are teaching their children how jet engine's exhaust push on the air to make jets fly. This is just common sense. I too learned this in elementary school, before NASA changed physics.

"Hot exhaust gasses from the aircraft's jet engines push on the air which in turn produces opposite reaction on the engines." This is what The FEers have been saying all along. You Globe people have been lied to, so many times and the sad part is you believe it.

How can you not understand that this 500kg of exhaust (formerly 500kg of fuel), which is created every second, is your 'mystery' mass 2?

Because it isn't.

Stop brainwashing.

Cannon=mass 1; then we have P, the expanding propellant; then cannonball=mass 2.

Rocket=mass 1; then we have P, the expanding propellant; then...?

Where is mass 2?

The article Yendor found tells you exactly what the missing mass 2 is, but you'd prefer to ignore that.

Just like you ignore the inconvenient vacuum in your posts.

Stop wasting our time.

Mass B is the exhaust.

Simple. Next.
What exhaust exactly? Is it the cloud of smoke that we see trailing a rocket? If so, this is not what we are talking about for propulsion. It's that big thrusting fire that comes out of the back before it turns into exhaust.

You see, exhaust is exactly what it says. It's exhausted fuel. Burning fuel is not exhausted....it is "exhausting."

Exhaust is any mass that is ejected from the rocket nozzle. Whether or not it has completely combusted is besides the point, it is still mass being ejected from the rocket nozzle and therefore providing thrust through conservation of momentum.
Ok let me try and enlighten you.
Now I want you to think about this carefully.

In a car, fuel and air is mixed in a combustion chamber that pushes a piston to do work turning a crank shaft, etc all the way to the wheels to move them. With each piston push, the fuel is spent as a force and it ejected as a gas. It is exhausted and passes through a pipe that throws that exhausted gas away from the car.

So what we have here is...basically your rocket. When I say this, I mean that your rocket is supposedly working on exactly the same principle, as in fuel and air mix into a COMBUSTION CHAMBER and IGNITED to burn and be ejected.

The problem that your rocket has is that it's internal combustion chamber has no work to do. It does not mechanically turn a propeller or some kind of flapping wings or whatever, as a car would use wheels.

So what's really happening?

It's really very simple if you use your common sense.
It means that a rocket does not use an internal combustion chamber. It's a fallacy. It's a con. It's a massive clever dupe.

What it does use is a chamber to MIX the UNBURNED FUEL and then it is ignited as it leaves the nozzle. It is ignited when it leaves the nozzle because this is where the work needs to be done to springboard that rocket vertically into the air against the EXTERNAL ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE that is creating a barrier to that ejected burning fuel.

The ejected burning fuel is super expanded matter against a dense external barrier and it creates a massive push against that dense atmosphere due to the expansion I just mentioned. This forces that atmosphere aside like a big rubber elastic sheet which springs back (squeezes) against that energy expansion of burning fuel. This creates the lift of the rocket. It's merely a fight of fuel against atmosphere.

There's nothing going on inside that rocket to make it fly in terms of burning fuel. Nothing  at all.

Now understand this because the sooner you do, the sooner you will wake up to the bullshit that  has been planted into your head and if you are adult, you should know better.


'What it does use is a chamber to MIX the UNBURNED FUEL and then it is ignited as it leaves the nozzle.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!    The above statement (and post as a whole) is absolute crap.


A rocket propels itself according to the conservation of momentum laws.

In the example I have used previously in this thread, if 500kg of fuel is 'lost' out of the rocket system at hypersonic speed, then this huge amount of momentum must be accounted for - and guess what?  This is what propels the rocket in the opposite direction.  This is very simple, and is exactly the same reason a man who throws a medicine ball whilst sitting on a skateboard, will be pushed in the opposite direction to which he has thrown the ball.

And just to alleviate you of your profound ignorance about the mechanics of a rocket engine, the fuel IS most certainly burnt within the combustion chamber of the rocket engine, and THEN it's forcibly ejected under huge pressure out of the engine nozzles.

It's just pure fantasy for you to even think that the fuel isn't ignited until it's left the engine nozzles - but then pure fantasy is all that you flat earth nutters ever talk about anyway, lol.

My above post didn’t convince you how wrong you are? Let’s try something else. Perhaps you haven’t heard of the Four Forces of Flight. They are:
THRUST, DRAG, LIFT and WEIGHT. I’m only going to talk about thrust and drag.

THUST
1.Thrust opposes drag. The engine creates thrust and moves the plane forward. (Gravity provides the thrust for a glider.) The engines push air back with the same force that the air moves the plane forward; this thrust force-pair is always equal and opposite according to Newton's 3rd Law. When thrust is greater than drag, the plane accelerates according to Newton's 2nd Law.When the plane flies level at constant velocity, thrust equals drag. When the plane flies level at constant velocity, all opposite forces of flight are equal: drag = thrust and weight = lift. How the 4 forces of flight interact
 
DRAG  (Take your time and read this very carefully)
2.   Drag opposes thrust. Drag can not be part of a closed system. It has to be external. Imagine sticking your hand out the window of a moving car and flying your hand. The force that pushes your hand back is called "drag". As your hand pushes on the wind, the wind also pushes against your hand. Isaac Newton would say that the force of your hand pushing on the air is always equal to the force of the air pushing on your hand; this is his third law. When the plane flies level at constant velocity, weight = lift! When the engines of a plane quit, drag slows the plane down according to Newton's 2nd Law.

FLAMES SHOOTING OUT THE BACK OF A JET PLANE OR A ROCKET IS NOT DRAG!!!!!!!!

It is quite simple really. No plane will fly without drag, it needs some resistance to push against. Surely you've stuck your arm out of a moving car's window before.

Thanks for that long and detailed explanation.

Obviously an aircraft needs air to be passing over its wings to provide the necessary lift, but a rocket does not fly because atmospheric lift is being provided.

Rockets are propelled due to the conservation of momentum laws, which means, due to large amounts of mass being ejected out of the 'rocket system' at hypersonic speeds, this huge amount of momentum must be balanced, which is exactly why a rocket is propelled in the opposite direction to the mass that has been ejected - simple.

The notion that a rocket can propel itself by spewing out hot exhaust gasses and using this exhaust to push against is totally illogical to me.

Ref. https://curricula2.mit.edu/pivot/book/ph1005.html?acode=0x0200

The reason I don’t believe it is because I own a vacuum cleaner. I think Free Expansion experiments simply demonstrates how rapidly gas will enter a vacuum and cause no work to be done. The gas molecules rushing out the rocket nozzle are in contact with each other, bouncing off each other, causing millions of collisions per second, etc… If you release gas into the vacuum of space, the first molecule that pops out will shoot off into the distance at a constant speed, so will the one behind that, never catching up with the first one. The third, fourth, etc… all fly off into the distance trying to fill the vacuum by finding their empty corner. So no matter how much exhaust you release in the vacuum of space none of it will ever satisfy Newton’s third law and the rocket will simply fall back to Earth…sorry.

Gas molecules will all be flying around in random directions, in a pressurised container, exerting force equally on all sides of that container. If you were to then remove one side, then the gas molecules already moving towards that side would fly into the vacuum and exert no force.

All the other molecules would still travel in the same directions and impact the other walls of the container exerting force. You now have a container where one side is experiencing force and the opposite side isn't, resulting in a net force in one direction causing acceleration.

After the molecules hit the walls and other molecules bounce in they will gradually leave via the empty side into the vacuum.

If you then keep filling the container with new molecules the net force on one side will continue and you get prolonged acceleration. This is how a rocket works. Very simple.

Do you understand the difference between freely releasing a gas and forcibly ejecting a gas?  Do you agree that a significant portion of the fuel oxidizer mix is burned inside the combustion chamber causing a dramatic build up of chamber pressure?  Or do you think that those burning gasses can freely escape the combustion chamber faster than the burning fuel/oxidizer mix can build up the pressure?

So no matter how much exhaust you release in the vacuum of space none of it will ever satisfy Newton’s third law and the rocket will simply fall back to Earth…sorry.

This is spot on.
Gas molecules will all be flying around in random directions, in a pressurised container, exerting force equally on all sides of that container. If you were to then remove one side, then the gas molecules already moving towards that side would fly into the vacuum and exert no force.


All this below is wrong, you need to brush up on rocket propulsion.

All the other molecules would still travel in the same directions and impact the other walls of the container exerting force. You now have a container where one side is experiencing force and the opposite side isn't, resulting in a net force in one direction causing acceleration.

After the molecules hit the walls and other molecules bounce in they will gradually leave via the empty side into the vacuum.

If you then keep filling the container with new molecules the net force on one side will continue and you get prolonged acceleration. This is how a rocket works. Very simple.
So what force causes those molecules that were moving towards the opposite walls of the container to change direction once the container is open to vacuum?  Are you saying that a vacuum is going to make those molecules change direction?

When the molecules hit the walls of the container they exert force in the container. As per newtons 3rd the walls then exert equal and opposite force on the molecules which results in them bouncing off in the opposite direction and eventually through chance they will exit the container.

Simple application of newtons 3rd. The vacuum does absolutely nothing.

The notion that a rocket can propel itself by spewing out hot exhaust gasses and using this exhaust to push against is totally illogical to me.

The reason I don’t believe it is because I own a vacuum cleaner. I think Free Expansion experiments simply demonstrates how rapidly gas will enter a vacuum and cause no work to be done.

Physics along with most sources defines vacuum as such.

Vacuum Physics

Vacuum, Space in which there is no matter or in which the pressure is so low that any particles in the space do not affect any processes being carried on there. It is a condition well below normal atmospheric pressure and is measured in units of pressure (the pascal). A vacuum can be created by removing air from a space using a vacuum pump or by reducing the pressure using a fast flow of fluid, as in Bernoulli’s principle.


I underlined the part that is most important. Basically it says that exhaust particles in space have no effect on the work they are being asked to do. In other words they do nothing to cause a rocket to move.

I can agree with Mainframe when he said, "Gas molecules will all be flying around in random directions, in a pressurised container, exerting force equally on all sides of that container. If you were to then remove one side, then the gas molecules already moving towards that side would fly into the vacuum and exert no force."

This is how physics definitions what the end results will be when you are trying to get any particle to do work in a vacuum.

This cycle will continue during the whole time the engine is running, exerting no force. The engine will run until it runs out of fuel or if it is stopped. If the engine is stopped and then restarted at a later time. The same cycle as before will begin all over again.

We've already agreed that the molecules moving towards the side removed would exert no force.  The question was what about all the others moving in different directions?

The other molecules produce no thrust and have no effect at all in moving a rocket forward. This NASA illustration explains it rather well.

(http://[url=http://i.imgur.com/KRVIXpk.gif]http://i.imgur.com/KRVIXpk.gif[/url])

In aerospace engineering, the principal of action and reaction is very important. Newton's third law explains the generation of thrust by a rocket engine. In a rocket engine, hot exhaust gas is produced through the combustion of a fuel with an oxidizer. The hot exhaust gas flows through the rocket nozzle and is accelerated to the rear of the rocket. In re-action, a thrusting force is produced on the engine mount. The thrust accelerates the rocket as described by Newton's second law of motion.

As we learned earlier from Mainframe and I believe you agree, "Gas molecules will all be flying around in random directions, in a pressurised container, exerting force equally on all sides of that container. If you were to then remove one side, then the gas molecules already moving towards that side would fly into the vacuum and exert no force."

Title: Re: People on skateboards.
Post by: Mainframes on October 08, 2015, 11:28:01 AM
The molecules moving away from the open side will collide with the walls of the container. When they collide they will exert force on the container and by newtons third the container will exert force on the molecules. The result is the molecules bounce off in the opposite direction and the container experiences a force. Eventually the molecules will be bounced towards the open side and exit.

Papa, You are correct. Even if you look at the means they use to move satellites, It's a joke. Ion thrusters, here they are throwing out ion particles into a vacuum and people believe it will move a satellite along just fine. All of these notions can easily be proven they won't work right here on Earth. I can't see how well educated people can believe such nonsense. All to just pay homage to NASA. How in the world can NASA have so much power over them. I was debating someone about Navy fire control radar. The Sparrow missile radar has an advertised direct line of sight to a surface ship out 30+ nautical miles. Now that is what they advertise. Now I was in the Navy and I actually worked on missile launchers and was very familiar with the distance our FCR would see out to. Believe me, it was out past 30 miles then in the early 70's. I would bet they can see out 60 miles now. So tell me, how can FCR track a ship out 30+ nautical miles if the Earth is round. In fact, we actually had a camera with a rotating lens system mounted on the dish so we could physically see the ship or plane we were going to kill.

In this discussion of how rockets work in a vacuum, have you considered what causes a gun to recoil?
Surely you will all agree that it is the conservation of momentum of (mainly) the gun body and the bullet.  The bullet (say 7.5 gm for 9 mm) heads right at 381 m/s (about 952 gm for Baretta M9), so the pistol tries to head left at a much lower velocity - you work in out!
Now, surely you are not going to say that this caused by the bullet pushing against the air?  Would the pistol have the same recoil in a vacuum? Of course!!!!!
What is the difference between this and the case of a mass of exhaust gas leaving a rocket?

No one wants to provide an equation?

Well, try this. Throw a lightweight object. Then throw something heavier. Continue throwing heavier and heavier objects. You'll gradually feel that you start to get pushed back more and the object you are throwing less, as the object get's heavier (e.g. if you throw another person or something even heavier). Both you and the object are getting pushed with an equal force, but depending on the mass of the object
a. The object will not accelerate at the same rate
b. Because of a, you'll have time to build up a larger force which will push yourself back.

If a rocket "throws" out exhaust, it HAS to be exerted to a force. Otherwise you are breaking Newton's Third.

Also, free expansion only implies an expansion where the gas does not change temperature. Pressure is still applied normally. Basically, it is irrelevant and off-topic.

Are you saying that the exhaust does not have any mass? 

Mass 1: rocket full of fuel and oxidizer
Energy: burning fuel and oxidizer in the combustion chamber
Mass 2: the residual gasses created by the burning of the fuel and oxidizer

Think about how fire works: you have fuel and oxygen, you have flame and you have smoke and ash residue.  The mass of the smoke and ash residue is the same as the mass of the fuel and oxygen before burning (give or take a very little bit converted to light and heat energy).  Why should the same not apply to rocket engines?

*Yawn!*

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Read this again, carefully, & rebut it rationally please:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.[/b]

No maths required.


Anyone who says the exhaust  (which clearly represents P, the expanding propellant) is object B must put on a dunce's cap & sit in the corner until they've done their homework correctly.

I think that I may see the source of your confusion.  The gunpowder is not just expanding, it's burning.  The process of burning the gunpowder produces energy and combustion gasses, doesn't it?  Those gasses have mass, don't they?

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.
No.  We have burning fuel which, like burning gunpowder, produces energy (P) and combustion gasses (B).  The energy is what pushes the gasses one way (action) and the rocket the other way (reaction).

No object B, see?
Yes, there is an object B is the gasses produced by burning the fuel A.  Why is that so hard for you to comprehend?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.
No, we haven't.  You're just too blind to see it.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?
Of course we do.  You just don't understand how is all.

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.
Yes, the combustion gasses that are the result of burning fuel.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.
False dichotomy.  Your refusal to see other possibilities doesn't mean that they don't exist.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.
Incorrect conclusion from a faulty premise.

Yes, you have quite easily demonstrated that you don't have any idea of what you're talking about.

Then it's a good thing that we never claimed that you could.

For once, I agree.

Anyone who says the exhaust  (which clearly represents P, the expanding propellant) is object B must put on a dunce's cap & sit in the corner until they've done their homework correctly.
Anyone who doesn't understand that the energy from burning fuel is what causes exhaust gasses to expand shouldn't lecture people about how rockets do or don't work.

Let's get something straightened out before we proceed; your pal frenat is absolutely adamant that a rocket is an open system.

Well; is it?

It actually can be considered both open or closed, depending on how you look at it.  But I wouldn't expect you to understand.

during the reaction with the fuel, the forces are internal to the system.  No external forces apply.  That is a closed system. 

After the reaction those hot gasses leave the system.  From that point of view it is open. 

In this case it is described as closed because there are no external forces.  But it definitely loses heat and mass so it is also not adiabatic.

But again, I wouldn't expect you to understand.  That would require an effort on your part.  Far easier to just deny and call someone you don't agree with a troll, right?

But thanks for the humor!

No matter how many times you try it, you're still wrong.  The propellant is not just expanding, it's burning.  Do you understand the concept of burning?  You pump fuel and oxidizer (part of object A) into a combustion chamber (another part of object A) and add enough heat to start a self-sustaining chemical reaction that releases a great deal of energy (P) which pushes the resultant exhaust gasses (object B) one way (action) and the rocket (object A) the other way. 

So you see, combustion pushing the exhaust gasses one way (action) and the walls of the combustion chamber the other way (reaction).

Q.E.D.

Now please explain why you keep ignoring the part where the process of burning propellant creates the expanding exhaust gasses.

For the time being, dealing with how a rocket is propelled within the atmosphere, I will make a statement which I would like you to answer with a 'agree' or 'disagree' response.


'When 500kg of rocket fuel is burnt within the combustion chamber, it is ejected out of the engine nozzles as high speed exhaust particles weighing 500kg.'

Equations are the ONLY thing you can TRULY trust in the world. Noone can manipulate the mechanics of math (1+1=2, no matter what anyone says) and if you believe the equations were somehow manipulated to work using fake mechanics and phenomenons, and describing reality, you should be able to do so yourselves, and I will believe it if it works with reality. And since you will use "real" mechanics and phenomenons your equations should work even better with greater accuracy.

HOW ROCKETS are PROPELLED
Engines that propel rockets by means of the rearward discharge of a jet of fluid, usually hot exhaust gases generated by burning fuel with oxygen, the only practical means of propulsion so far devised is to take advantage of Newton's third law of motion. In its simplest form, this law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite. It is observed in nature that forces (e.g., pushes or pulls) never occur singly but always in equal or opposite pairs. Thus the existence of a force on a body requires the coexistence of an equal and opposite force. If a pair of forces acts between two separate bodies (and provided that no other forces act), the bodies will be impelled to separate or come together depending on whether the force pair is repulsive (a push) or attractive (a pull). The combination of Newton's second and third laws shows that the resulting motion of the two bodies can be expressed by the statement that the change in momentum of the two bodies is equal and opposite and along the line of action of the force pair. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and, because (at rocket velocities) the mass of any body remains constant, a force pair acting between two bodies produces a change in the velocity of each. It is clear that in order to propel a body it is necessary to find something to push against. All rocket propulsion devices push against the air itself. If the exhaust is used as the propelling medium, it must experience a change in momentum i.e., it has to be accelerated toward the rear of the rocket and discharged rearward with enough velocity that the reaction produces an appreciable thrust in the opposite direction.

Let's try this step by step, starting with a few simple yes/no questions, if you think you can handle them.

1) Does the "expanding" propellant burn?

2) If yes, then does the process of burning the propellant produce exhaust gasses with roughly the same mass as the propellant being burned?

3) If yes, are the exhaust gasses the same object as the propellant before it's burned?

I am happy sit in the Corner doing my homework with the help of my GPS using its access to 48 satellites (24 GPS and 24 GLONASS).

Of course these were inserted into orbit using rockets.  I would not dare claim that it is really a "vacuum" up there! 
If the most knowledgeable person in the world (AKA TheEngineer, Engy, Engy Baby, Douchbag) were to read this he might argue that it's not "really a vacuum" up there - there are a few molecules scattered about, true but even that great "self made man, who worshipeth his maker" would not argue that it was significant!

Anyone who claims that rockets do not work in a vacuum has rocks in their head (In Oz we would say a few roos short in the top paddock).  Do you really think that the 239,725 kg (empty) of Apollo 11 was lifted by pushing on the ground then the air?  The ground helps very little as the exhaust is ejected out the side.  Of course these figures come from NASA and you will say that Apollo 11 was just a lifesized cardboard replica!

Maybe the burnt fuel (1,965,969 kg) liquid oxygen, 651,210 kg kerosene and 92,205 kg liquid hydrogen) ejected provided a bit of reaction mass.  If not what happened to the momentum of that 2,709,384 kg - burnt up I supposed?  But then you don't really trust Newton do you?

Get used to it - rockets work better in a vacuum - less resistance!

It's not really too difficult to grasp it you try - "it's not rocket science" - oops, my bad, it is!

No, because that isn't how rocket engines work.  Free expansion only works as fast as the gas molecules can travel on their own.  The gasses in a rocket's combustion chamber can exit through the throat of the engine several times faster than the speed of sound (as seen in the shock diamonds in the shuttle main engine).  The exhaust gasses aren't getting sucked out, they're being forced out, so free expansion does not apply.  Or at least not until the gasses clear the engine bell, at which point they no longer interact with the rocket and are therefore irrelevant.

Apollo 11 along with the Saturn 5 weighed 239,725 kg empty.  Its fuel load was 1,965,969 kg liquid oxygen, 51,210 kg kerosene and 92,205 kg liquid hydrogen - a total of 2,709,384 kg.

Just what do you think happens to the momentum of that almost 3000 tons of propellant ejected at supersonic velocity!  Burning it does not change its mass, but its volume and hence velocity on exit is increased tremendously.  The fuel in the vehicle has relatively little momentum, so there is large change in momentum as it is burnt and ejected.  force = rate of change of momentum - hence big force - 7.5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, about 3750 US tons.

You say YOU CANNOT PUSH ON NOTHING.  That propellant IS the reaction mass.  What is the difference between a bullet ejected from a gun and gas ejected from a rocket - they both have mass and they are both ejected at high speed.  They both provide thrust: recoil in the gun's case, thrust for lift in the case of the rocket.

Maybe you get some knowledgeable engineer to explain it better?  There are probably a few of those among the members.

Yendor, do you even know what free expansion means? Because if you do you'll understand why it is irrelevant to the topic of the thread.

A vacuum does not suck. But high pressure gases push. The molecules in the high pressure exhaust gas pushes other molecules in it. The molecules at the nozzle get's pushed away from the ship in a vacuum, because there is nothing to push it back.  The molecules that pushed those molecules had to be pushed themselves, which was done by other molecules further inside the combustion chamber. And those molecules was pushed by other molecules even further in. And the furthest in the molecules is pushed by the wall of the combustion chamber, which happens to be part of the rocket. And because of Newton's third, the molecules pushes back on the walls of the combustion chamber with an equal force. No atmosphere is needed.

And because of Newton's third, the molecules pushes back on the walls of the combustion chamber with an equal force. No atmosphere is needed.

In the 1800's physicist James Prescott Joule releases high pressure gas into a vacuum. He discovers that the temperature of the gas does not change when it enters the vacuum. The gas releases no energy, does no work. This effect is called Free Expansion.

It should also be noted that gas cannot exist in a vacuum. Cannot exist. That's confirmed by Boyle's Law: PV=K. Pressure x Volume = Constant. If Pressure is zero then the formula is invalid. Because the formula is a law that must apply to all gasses, gasses cannot exist where pressure = 0. There is no gas in space. A rocket cannot expel gas into space. It can release unrelated molecules which fly off, disappearing forever exerting no force on the rocket as they do.

There could be gas inside the combustion chamber of a rocket, expanded, high-energy gas, however, when you open a valve of that chamber to a vacuum, Free Expansion takes over and the chamber is evacuated without doing any work. The high-energy gas molecules disperse into space (via Free Expansion), keeping all of their energy and losing all of their properties of being a gas (via Boyle's Law).

There are only two known forces available the vacuum of space: gravity and radiation.

When we move about on/near the earth we rely on friction and pressure. All the fantasies of space travel I have seen or heard also explicitly or implicitly use pressure and friction to move the rocket, forces unavailable in space. They also use gas, which I have show simply doesn't exist in the vacuum according to the laws of physics.

Formulas, we have many. Laws, there are few and none of them support rockets operating in space.

And those molecules was pushed by other molecules even further in. And the furthest in the molecules is pushed by the wall of the combustion chamber, which happens to be part of the rocket. And because of Newton's third, the molecules pushes back on the walls of the combustion chamber with an equal force. No atmosphere is needed.

In the 1800's physicist James Prescott Joule releases high pressure gas into a vacuum. He discovers that the temperature of the gas does not change when it enters the vacuum. The gas releases no energy, does no work. This effect is called Free Expansion.

It should also be noted that gas cannot exist in a vacuum. Cannot exist. That's confirmed by Boyle's Law: PV=K. Pressure x Volume = Constant. If Pressure is zero then the formula is invalid. Because the formula is a law that must apply to all gasses, gasses cannot exist where pressure = 0. There is no gas in space. A rocket cannot expel gas into space. It can release unrelated molecules which fly off, disappearing forever exerting no force on the rocket as they do.

There could be gas inside the combustion chamber of a rocket, expanded, high-energy gas, however, when you open a valve of that chamber to a vacuum, Free Expansion takes over and the chamber is evacuated without doing any work. The high-energy gas molecules disperse into space (via Free Expansion), keeping all of their energy and losing all of their properties of being a gas (via Boyle's Law).

There are only two known forces available the vacuum of space: gravity and radiation.

When we move about on/near the earth we rely on friction and pressure. All the fantasies of space travel I have seen or heard also explicitly or implicitly use pressure and friction to move the rocket, forces unavailable in space. They also use gas, which I have show simply doesn't exist in the vacuum according to the laws of physics.

Formulas, we have many. Laws, there are few and none of them support rockets operating in space.

*sigh*

Let's try this one more time. 

Free expansion is when a fixed amount of gas is released into the vacuum side of a closed system.  A rocket burns propellant (a process which adds heat to the system) in order to create hot, expanding gasses that increase in pressure within the combustion chamber. 

Free expansion applies when the gas molecules are allowed to freely expand (hence the name).  This expansion of gasses cannot happen faster than the speed of sound because the molecules cannot move faster than its shock wave.  The hot, expanding gasses created when a rocket engine burns propellant can move several times the speed of sound as they exit the engine (as evidenced by shock diamonds (http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/propulsion/q0224.shtml) in the exhaust).

Taking these facts into consideration, please explain again how free expansion applies to a rocket engine.

Red text: Wrong, he discovers the opposite (that temperature DID drop). However, according to mathematics, if an IDEAL gas existed, it would not change temperature.

Free Expansion

In a free expansion, gas is allowed to expand into a vacuum. This happens quickly, so there is no heat transferred. No work is done, because the gas does not displace anything. According to the First Law, this means that:

ΔEint = 0

There is no change in internal energy, so the temperature stays the same.

On a PV diagram all you can do is plot the end-points. The process follows a path on the diagram that is not well-defined. Because the temperature is constant, the connection between the initial and final states is:

PiVi = PfVf


Blue text: *Facepalm* Read through that a few times and you might spot just what is so wrong with that part.

Boyle's law (sometimes referred to as the Boyle–Mariotte law, or Mariotte's law[1]) is an experimental gas law which describes how the pressure of a gas tends to decrease as the volume of a gas increases. A modern statement of Boyle's law is

The absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system.[2][3]

Mathematically, Boyle's law can be stated as

P \propto \frac{1}{V}
or

 PV = k
where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, and k is a constant. 

Brown text: Only with an ideal gas, which does not exist in reality. And the free expansion requires a closed system, something that a rocket engine is NOT.



An ideal gas is a gas that conforms, in physical behaviour, to a particular, idealized relation between pressure, volume, and temperature called the ideal gas law. This law is a generalization containing both Boyle's law and Charles's law as special cases and states that for a specified quantity of gas, the product of the volume, V, and pressure, P, is proportional to the absolute temperature T; i.e., in equation form, PV = kT, in which k is a constant. Such a relation for a substance is called its equation of state and is sufficient to describe its gross behaviour.

The vacuum of deep space is lower than any pressure that can be created artificially on this planet and as space is infinitely larger than the Earth natural. So, I'd say that when a rocket is in space, it would be equivalent to the free expansion experiment.


Maroon text (darker brown): Refer to Blue text. Also, no, radiation and gravity is not the only forces which can act in a vacuum. E.g. if two objects hit each other in a vacuum they exert pressure (a force) on each other. They don't pass through each other.

You can't state that a gas does no work and use W=PV with P=0 as supporting that.  By definition, a gas always has a pressure greater than 0.  If you put one gas molecule in a vacuum, it ceases to be a vacuum and has pressure.  By using that equation, you are just saying that a vacuum does no work.

Free expansion applies when the gas molecules are allowed to freely expand (hence the name). 

No vacuum on earth can be created greater than the vacuum of space. So yes, I'd say it would be a closed system. Meaning the experiment would have actually worked better in outer space then on earth.

This expansion of gasses cannot happen faster than the speed of sound because the molecules cannot move faster than its shock wave.  The hot, expanding gasses created when a rocket engine burns propellant can move several times the speed of sound as they exit the engine (as evidenced by shock diamonds (http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/propulsion/q0224.shtml) in the exhaust).

There is on sound in space. Therefore there would be no shock wave.

Taking these facts into consideration, please explain again how free expansion applies to a rocket engine.

Whether or not there is sound in space is not relevant.  The fact that gas molecules can not freely expand faster than a certain speed is the relevant part.

In a vacuum, the combustion chamber pressure in a rocket engine is effectively zero.  Do you or do you not agree that if you can burn enough propellant fast enough, then the combustion chamber pressure can increase to several thousand psi?

Do you know what a gas is?  Do you know what a vacuum is?

A vacuum has no gas in it.  Take a perfect vacuum and put one gas molecule in it.  It ceases to be a vacuum and has pressure.

"A gas will have the same pressure as its surroundings?"

Do you know causes pressure?  Pressure is force per unit area.  The force is from the collision of gas molecules.  A vacuum has zero pressure due to not having any gas molecules.

Finished embarrassing yourself yet?

Object A is the bullet.
Object B is the combustion products of the ignited gunpowder.

The gun's purpose is to guide and spin the bullet.  Along with providing a handle for the shooter and providing a mechanism to ignite the gunpowder.

Only two objects are required.  For example, baseball bat and baseball.

I think your lack of understanding of what a gas is and what causes pressure is the true issue here.

Again, for non-retards:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Would it not be more helpful if the "teacher" were to answer a few simple questions?

Already answered, compulsive-liar markjo.
Oh?  Where?

Nothing can create a Reaction against its own Action.
That isn't what I asked.

In case you forgot:

1) Does the "expanding" propellant burn?

2) If yes, then does the process of burning the propellant produce exhaust gasses with roughly the same mass as the propellant being burned?

3) If yes, are the exhaust gasses the same object as the propellant before it's burned?

These are simple yes/no questions.  I don't understand why you're so afraid to answer them.

Actually, I do understand, but it's still worth a try.

So if A and B are the gun and bullet, explain how they are transferring momentum to each other when neither start with momentum, but both end with momentum.

Could you use your labeling system to label A, B, and P for a bat hitting a baseball?

In the 1800's physicist James Prescott Joule releases high pressure gas into a vacuum. He discovers that the temperature of the gas does not change when it enters the vacuum. The gas releases no energy, does no work. This effect is called Free Expansion.

It should also be noted that gas cannot exist in a vacuum. Cannot exist. That's confirmed by Boyle's Law: PV=K. Pressure x Volume = Constant. If Pressure is zero then the formula is invalid. Because the formula is a law that must apply to all gasses, gasses cannot exist where pressure = 0. There is no gas in space. A rocket cannot expel gas into space. It can release unrelated molecules which fly off, disappearing forever exerting no force on the rocket as they do.

There could be gas inside the combustion chamber of a rocket, expanded, high-energy gas, however, when you open a valve of that chamber to a vacuum, Free Expansion takes over and the chamber is evacuated without doing any work. The high-energy gas molecules disperse into space (via Free Expansion), keeping all of their energy and losing all of their properties of being a gas (via Boyle's Law).

There are only two known forces available the vacuum of space: gravity and radiation.

When we move about on/near the earth we rely on friction and pressure. All the fantasies of space travel I have seen or heard also explicitly or implicitly use pressure and friction to move the rocket, forces unavailable in space. They also use gas, which I have show simply doesn't exist in the vacuum according to the laws of physics.

Formulas, we have many. Laws, there are few and none of them support rockets operating in space.
Quote
Red text: Wrong, he discovers the opposite (that temperature DID drop). However, according to mathematics, if an IDEAL gas existed, it would not change temperature.
Free Expansion

In a free expansion, gas is allowed to expand into a vacuum. This happens quickly, so there is no heat transferred. No work is done, because the gas does not displace anything. According to the First Law, this means that:

ΔEint = 0

There is no change in internal energy, so the temperature stays the same.

On a PV diagram all you can do is plot the end-points. The process follows a path on the diagram that is not well-defined. Because the temperature is constant, the connection between the initial and final states is:

PiVi = PfVf
IN AN IDEAL FICTITIOUS GAS
Easy enough to read?
Real gases does change temperature in this type of system, which is one way that let scientists manage to reach extremely low temperatures after this was discovered.

Quote
Blue text: *Facepalm* Read through that a few times and you might spot just what is so wrong with that part.

Boyle's law (sometimes referred to as the Boyle–Mariotte law, or Mariotte's law[1]) is an experimental gas law which describes how the pressure of a gas tends to decrease as the volume of a gas increases. A modern statement of Boyle's law is

The absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system.[2][3]

Mathematically, Boyle's law can be stated as

P \propto \frac{1}{V}
or

 PV = k
where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, and k is a constant. 
You still have not noticed the fallacy in your statement?

Quote
Brown text: Only with an ideal gas, which does not exist in reality. And the free expansion requires a closed system, something that a rocket engine is NOT.



An ideal gas is a gas that conforms, in physical behaviour, to a particular, idealized relation between pressure, volume, and temperature called the ideal gas law. This law is a generalization containing both Boyle's law and Charles's law as special cases and states that for a specified quantity of gas, the product of the volume, V, and pressure, P, is proportional to the absolute temperature T; i.e., in equation form, PV = kT, in which k is a constant. Such a relation for a substance is called its equation of state and is sufficient to describe its gross behaviour.

The vacuum of deep space is lower than any pressure that can be created artificially on this planet and as space is infinitely larger than the Earth natural. So, I'd say that when a rocket is in space, it would be equivalent to the free expansion experiment.
No, because rocket gases are still not "ideal".

Quote
Maroon text (darker brown): Refer to Blue text. Also, no, radiation and gravity is not the only forces which can act in a vacuum. E.g. if two objects hit each other in a vacuum they exert pressure (a force) on each other. They don't pass through each other.

I'm talking about the vacuum of space. That is hypothetical. We know of no objects in outer space.
Electromagnetic forces can also propagate through the vacuum of space. And do you suggest then that two objects, if they existed in a vacuum, would pass through each other?

1) Of course "outer space" is NOT a "vacuum".  As many illustrious members have stated a vacuum does not exist, but even a few hundred miles up it's so close that it does not make a significant difference to how a rocket works.
2) What do you think happens to the momentum of the hundreds of tons of burnt propellant leaving the nozzle of a rocket?  Does it get "burnt" too?  But of course Newton is one of your liars.
Of course, "You cannot Push on Nothing.", but the body of a rocket can and DOES push on the tremendous mass of exhaust gases ("object B").
Right at the exit of the nozzle we do not have a vacuum.  The gas cannot leave instantaneously.  What happens to it after that does not matter.  With the gun, the recoil is in no way affected by what happens to the bullet after it has left the muzzle.
Get used to it: rockets work, how else do all the satellites get up there.  Maybe you will try to say that the (near) real-time photos from this satellites are all "real-time" CGI.  See link: http://www.jma.go.jp/en/gms/smallc.html?area=6&element=1&time=201510150700&mode=JST (http://www.jma.go.jp/en/gms/smallc.html?area=6&element=1&time=201510150700&mode=JST)
I don't think you will find NASA had a lot to do with that satellite.  If you look you will find:
1) The clouds do move and
2) The cloud cover does match real-time - at least if you are lucky enough to live in the "lucky country".

Pretty slick CGI!  Not likely.

Not at all.  If you think that you have a better explanation as to why rockets work, then it's up to you to show how and why your explanation is better than the existing.  Simply ignoring the mass of the exhaust gasses as if they aren't relevant just doesn't cut it.

Stay in your corner ffs, Losers...

A large rocket expels tons of burnt fuel, travelling at hypersonic speeds out of its engine nozzles, but you dismiss this huge mass as though it can't possibly be your illusive Object B?

You then clutch at straws and propose that this Object B must therefore be the atmosphere? 

Utter crap.

OBJECT B IS THE EJECTED BURNT FUEL WHICH STILL HAS THE SAME MASS AS WHEN IT WAS FUEL PRIOR TO COMBUSTION. IF FOR EXAMPLE, A ROCKET BURNS 500 KG OF FUEL EVERY SECOND, THEN OBVIOUSLY 500 KG OF EXHAUST PARTICLES TRAVELLING AT HYPERSONIC SPEEDS HAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MOMENTUM, AND OBVIOUSLY THIS MOMENTUM MUST BE COUNTERED TO BALANCE THE EQUATION.

OBVIOUSLY, THE ROCKET MUST BE PROPELLED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO THAT OF THE EXHAUST PARTICLES.

IF YOU STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS VERY BASIC MOMENTUM PRINCIPLE, THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE THE INTELLECT OF A SMALL CHILD.

Of course we have addressed it multiple times.  You just keep ignoring it.  Here it is one more time for you to ignore.

1) Does the "expanding" propellant burn?

2) If yes, then does the process of burning the propellant produce exhaust gasses with roughly the same mass as the propellant being burned?

3) If yes, are the exhaust gasses the same object as the propellant before it's burned?

There's no such thing as a vacuum in the sense of no matter at all. If a vacuum has to be used then it has to be stipulated that it is a name for low pressure because the absence of matter means the absence of life itself and we can't really play with that nonsense can we when we are debating whilst being here.

Extreme low pressure against the extreme high pressure of a rocket gas fire would tend to equalise, except we are talking about a huge area that is the high sky or even fantasy space as we are led to believe.
The problem here is, there's no possible way of equalising anything because it would be like trying to make a splash back onto yourself with constant force by pouring a thimble full of water into a well of unknown depth. Your thimble of water just disappears with no reactionary resistance.

Exactly; it's all a matter of pressure gradients.

God knows, it's not that hard to grasp...

No rocket is going anywhere at under 10% sea-level atmospheric psi; under 20% it'll be struggling badly.

Top estimate of a rocket's possible altitude: 30km; maybe a tad more with momentum chucked in?

But breaking the Karman Line at 100km & going into 'space'?

Incorrect. The rocket imparts a force on the exhaust and in return the exhaust imparts a force on the rocket. The key to a rocket is the nozzle. It speeds up the exhaust gases to help the exhaust impart a bigger force.

Furthermore you don't believe the mass of the bullet has anything to do with it, remember?

Nope.

Nope. There is no way for the atmosphere to transfer a force to the rocket.

Zooming in on a rocket exhaust you would see a exhaust molecule about to hit an atmospheric molecule. How does that impart a force on the rocket?

No, I am referring to the speed of sound in a highly pressurized combustion chamber. 

There can be NO pressure in a vacuum, psycho.
Of course not.  But there can be pressure in a rocket's combustion chamber when lots of fuel and oxidizer are being burned vigorously.

Wtf is WRONG with you?
Whatever; ignore the chuntering Humpty Dumpty disinfo-thing & concentrate on this:
With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.
But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.
No object B, see?
Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.
But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?
Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.
& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.
Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.
Q.E.D.
No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.
No maths required.

None of you have correctly addressed this yet; your dunce-caps await.

Firstly, if you want to pedantic, "outer space" is not a vacuum.  The pressure:
at sea level the air pressure is about 760 Torr,
at an altitude of 200 km, about 0.0075 Torr and
in "outer space" it is in the range 1X10-6 to 3X10-17 Torr.

As far as the operation of a rocket is concerned these last two figures are so near a vacuum it makes no difference.

For maximum efficiency, the ideal rocket nozzle tries to match the pressure at exit to the outside pressure. 
In a vacuum this would need an "infinite area" - can't be done.
Of course, right at the exit of a rocket we cannot have a vacuum.  There is a huge mass flow at this point - maybe 500kg/sec for a large rocket motor.  After exiting the nozzle the exhaust diffuses in the space around.  If you want to go into rocket nozzle design try: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_engine_nozzle#Vacuum_use (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_engine_nozzle#Vacuum_use) , quite a bit outside my expertise.

Clearly right at the exit of the nozzle we do not have a vacuum and the rocket "pushes" against that large mass of burnt fuel.
If anyone wants to be really fussy like our beloved Papa, I would have to agree rockets do not operate "in a vacuum", they themselves destroy the "vacuum" in the space behind them.

But if anyone tries to argue that rockets will not work in "space" they are talking rubbish.  How else did the satellite get into orbit to take this weather photo.  The time here in Eastern Australia (EAST) is about 9:15 pm (11:15 UTC).  If this link works this weather photo was taken at 11:00 UTC.

Actually, a rocket only needs to create one force to produce motion.  That force is generated by the rapid burning of fuel and oxidizer and it pushes the exhaust gasses (which have mass) in one direction (action) and the rocket in the opposite direction (reaction). 

Let's use the title of this thread as an example.  Stand on a skateboard, lift one leg (careful not to lose your balance) and then kick the skateboard backwards as hard as you can with your other leg (again, careful not to lose your balance).  What happens?  As the skateboard went backwards, did you move forwards at all?

Please, if you are going to quote someones "gibberish", at least quote enough to give the gist of what that "Tinfoil Dunce" says.
The relevant bit that I said was:
"outer space" is not a vacuum.  The pressure:
at sea level the air pressure is about 760 Torr,
at an altitude of 200 km, about 0.0075 Torr and
in "outer space" it is in the range 1X10-6 to 3X10-17 Torr.
"

A "vacuum" is completely void of matter.  A pressure of 0.0075 Torr or even 3X10-17 Torr is not zero, so that part of what I said was correct!
You still seem to think that some 500 kg/sec leaving the nozzle of a rocket causes no "recoil", yet 5 grams of buckshot leaving you shotgun can lay you on your back.  Numerous deonstrations have been done to show that a gun does recoil in a "vacuum" chamber!

You still may no comment on the fact that rockets DO work in a vacuum. 
I guess the "Mythbusters' rocket in vacuum" at (http://) is also a NASA plot.  Really!
As I have shown at various times anyone can access the "Satellite imagery from the Himawari series of geostationary meteorological satellites is provided every 30 minutes."  This can give real-time (at 30 minute intervals) imagery of the Eastern Hemisphere.
see: http://www.jma.go.jp/en/gms/ (http://www.jma.go.jp/en/gms/)
No one has seen fit to take a look.  If this not verify that something is up there, I give up!

I guess we were naive in expecting any sane arguments in this thread.  If we look at Papa Legba's opening post it was clearly a lost cause from the beginning!
Here is a thread for satanic sci-fi cultists to post photos/videos of people on skateboards that they think somehow prove that rockets will function in a vacuum.
Newton, Joules & Thomson will be spinning in their graves at such nonsense, but I guess these cultists are too satanically brainwashed to comprehend how basic scientific principles work...
Whatever; knock yourselves out, psychos!
Lost cause from square one!  Right, back on that ole skateboard pushing on all Papa's hot air!

I don't argue about opinions. It's pointless. But I do argue about facts and reality.

I don't accidentally want to insult you by explaining everything to you as if you were a five-year old, that's why I asked you if you knew what was wrong with your post.

Now I see what you meant with opinions. That is totally different from the message of your previous post.

So, first, I'll give you the simplified explanation for gravity. This is not to insult you, this is because we don't need to go any further than a simple explanation and any more complex explanation will take too long time, unless you want to read up on it yourself.

Matter is anything that takes up space and has a mass. Gravity causes matter to accelerate towards other matter, according to Newtons law of universal gravitation. Here's an online calculator that does the calculations for you:
https://www.easycalculation.com/physics/classical-physics/newtons-law.php (https://www.easycalculation.com/physics/classical-physics/newtons-law.php)
The equation:
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/NewtonsLawOfUniversalGravitation.svg/2000px-NewtonsLawOfUniversalGravitation.svg.png)

Gravity does not make any difference between gases, liquids or solids. They are all matter, and are treated equally.

Gravity does not automatically pull objects into preset orbits. It simply attracts matter. Objects stay in orbit because they have centrifugal forces pushing them away from the matter. When the centrifugal acceleration and the gravitational acceleration are equal, the orbit is stable. The further matter is apart, the weaker the attraction between them. This is simplified, there are more factors, but hopefully this shows you why this statement/question:
Quote
You say gravity holds the air(gas) there, yet the same force holds the moon (solid as far as I know) far away from earth???
is really weird.

If gravity did not exist, as such is a certain theory by the name of denpressure, then yes, all the high-pressure gases known as the atmosphere would escape into space, which is why denpressure cannot be real, and it is one of the reasons it's kinda stupid.

Gravitation is what keeps the moon from moving away from us.  The reason it doesn't just fall and crash into the Earth is due to its motion.  It is moving with a significant velocity that it maintains its distance from Earth.

Gas molecules, due to their extremely low mass, are not affected by the gravitational field nearly as much.  This is why all the gas molecules aren't just laying on the ground.  There are more gas molecules near the ground due to gravitation though.  Earth is losing helium to space as the gravitation is not strong enough to retain it, while the Sun and Jupiter have plenty of helium and have the gravitation to keep it from venting to space.  This is why small planets and moons do not have an atmosphere as we know it, while the more massive ones do.  It is also dependent on the temperature of the atmosphere.

Of course they do; why are you so stupid?

But they are EXPANDING, between TWO masses; Cannon (object A) & Cannonball (object B).

It is this EXPANSION between two masses that creates recoil motion.

But with a rocket you ONLY have the Rocket (object A) & the expanding gasses; where is the equivalent of the Cannonball?

WHERE IS OBJECT B?

Because without Object B no motion can be produced.

So; what other mass is there that could take the place of of Object B?

In the case of a rocket, the ONLY possible option is the mass of the atmosphere.

Thus, NO atmosphere equals NO motion; rockets CANNOT WORK IN A VACUUM.

Because YOU CANNOT PUSH ON NOTHING.

Object B is the mass of the combustion gasses as they are being pushed out of the rocket engine.  Don't confuse the mass of the exhaust with the force that the expansion of those gasses provide as they push on the walls of the combustion chamber.

Remember that Force = Mass x Acceleration

This means that as the mass of the exhaust gasses is accelerated through the relatively narrow throat of the combustion chamber, it imparts a force on the rocket resulting in movement.  It really isn't that difficult of a concept.  I really don't understand why you're having so much trouble understanding it.

LOL!!!

I've just explained that it isn't.

The expanding combustion gasses are clearly P, the propellant.

Thus, Object B must be some other Mass.

In the case of a rocket the only possibility for this Mass is that of the Atmosphere.

Words are not Reality, brainwashing thought-policeman.

Read again & do your homework properly this time, Humpty Dumpty.

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

its not that exhaust gases have no mass (because they do). but when you use that scenario on earth the exhaust gases themselves have particles to push against(atmosphere). high pressure will always seek out low pressure, so when the exhaust particles mix with the atmosphere they quickly become the same consistency/density. The expanding propellant can push against the atmosphere and the exhaust particles(exhaust particles aren't needed to push against only the atmosphere) which are really one and the same really by this point. In a vacuum(low pressure area) the exhaust gases would rush out and have no atmospheric pressure to push against and would rapidly seek out the immensely empty space (high pressure gas expands to the low pressure space). Then as the expanding propellant leaves the chamber it has nothing to push against. So the rocket would just shoot a shiny flare out the back end but it wouldn't experience movement.

The above is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

It's clear that you have no idea what so ever as to how a rocket is propelled.

A rocket moves according to the laws of momentum, which you don't seem to be familiar with.

Just as a cannon recoils when the large mass of the cannonball is ejected out of the barrel, so too does a rocket experience recoil when the large mass of the burnt fuel is ejected out of the engine nozzles at hypersonic speed.

action and reaction
The force (action) generated by gases firing outward from a rocket's engines produces an equal force (reaction) that pushes the rocket forward through space.

this is obviously wrong to me

For example, when I push my hands against the wall I have the something to push off of. so my arms pushing in(action) causes my body to move out(equal and opposite reaction). Try this same scenario standing away from the wall, push your hands out and the body doesn't move(arguably it moves minute amounts because of air molecules). How much less is there to push against in space? Answer: there is nothing to push on in space so it is impossible to have a opposite and equal reaction to the action of the propellant leaving the exhaust tube. The rocket would not be able to generate thrust.

The exhaust is the wall. Also, where did the exhaust get it's momentum from if it is leaving the nozzle? See conservation of momentum. If the exhaust is not leaving the nozzle, then it will build up inside it. However, if it does leave the nozzle it has to get it's momentum from something.

Throw a ball against a wall.

When the ball hits the wall it bounces back. Why? The wall exerts force on the ball to first slow it to standstill and then accelerate away from the wall. Force = mass x acceleration.

Now, use newtons third. If the wall exerts force on the ball then the ball must exert an equal amount of force on the wall. Now imagine the wall isn't attached to the ground and it is getting hit by millions of balls. Does the wall move? Of course it does. No atmosphere required.

This is the principle of rockets. The exhaust produced by combustion of fuel in the rocket produces extremely high pressure gas, which is basically millions and billions of little balls hitting the rocket wall at high speed getting it lots of little pushes just like the ball and wall above.

Use of atmosphere is just wrong. Let's examine that. A single molecule of exhaust flies out the rocket and at some point hits a molecule of atmosphere (oxygen / nitrogen / whatever). The molecules collide and due to very similar masses will behave just like pool balls on a table. Even with a direct head on collision the exhaust molecule will not bounce back towards the rocket. So how exactly is the force transferred to the rocket to cause acceleration?

Yes it does.

If gas expands faster than it can be expelled from the combustion chamber then pressure will build up. This is why the combustion chamber has a very narrow orifice, to create exactly this situation. The smaller the exit hole is, the longer it will take for gas molecules to escape into the vacuum. If there are more molecules entering the chamber than exiting then pressure will build up.

And we keep explaining why you're wrong.

The expanding combustion gasses are clearly P, the propellant.
No, the expanding combustion gasses are the result of burning the propellant. 

Then again, even if the propellant wasn't burned, pushing it out the back of a rocket would still impart a force because the propellant isn't the same object as the rocket itself any more than you are the same object when you push off of a skateboard like I described earlier.  In that case, the pumps pushing the propellant would be imparting the force causing the fuel to accelerate out the back (action) that results in the rocket being pushed forwards (reaction).

I'd say that the absence of PRESSURE in a vacuum is more pertinent when discussing the behaviour of PRESSURISED gasses therein.

& the Laws of physics state quite categorically that a gas can do no work in a vacuum.

When released it will simply expand, freely, following the path of least resistance & doing no work, until it finally does encounter resistance.

Which, in a practically-infinite vacuum such as we are told 'space' is, will be very far away indeed.

You don't understand free expansion either then.

Free expansion only applies when the gas expands into a chamber. It does not apply in an open system such as a rocket engine as mass is leaving the system.

If you actually understood free expansion you would know that the no work done statement is derived from the fact that no NET work is done. In an enclosed chamber, gas pressure is exerted on all sides and gives the result of zero as all actions cancel out.

This is not the case in rocket engines as mass is leaving the system and therefore the force balance is not zero. There is work done on the rocket.

If a tank of pressurised gas were opened when surrounded by a practically-infinite vacuum, such as we are told 'space' is, then the contents WOULD expand, freely, following the path of least resistance & doing no work until they eventually encounter resistance.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Free expansion requires an adiabatic system.  A rocket is not.

Free expansion requires a thermodynamically closed system.  A rocket is closed only by the classical mechanics definition.  Yes, they are different.

Free expansion applies only to ideal gasses.  Ideal gasses don't exist in the real world and are hypothetical.

Again, the troll-thing frenat (whose name means 'braking' in Catalan btw; a clear display of his intent on this thread) feeds us half-truths.

In atmosphere, a rocket is non-adiabatic; in a vacuum it is adiabatic.

It is all a matter of Pressure Gradients, i.e. as the external pressure decreases, the amount of work done by the gas leaving the rocket decreases until it reaches Zero.

Or as near as makes no difference.

Because you cannot exchange heat & matter with NOTHING.

Apparently, according to Papa Legba, when a molecule from a rocket's exhaust hits an atmospheric molecule, the exhaust molecule bounces back and creates a propelling force on the base of the rocket.

I find it a little puzzling however, that an atmospheric molecule has the ability to 'bounce' an exhaust molecule travelling at hypersonic velocity, in the opposite direction at a sufficient velocity to impart enough force on the base of the rocket, thereby propelling it?

And regardless of the interaction between the exhaust and atmospheric molecules, there must only be a very small percentage of impacts between these molecules that are perpendicular enough to factor into the equation of those molecules that might be bounced backwards, and not glanced off to the side, and therefore useless as far as imparting any force is concerned.

But the biggest problem of all, concerns the 'supply' of atmospheric molecules. Just after engine ignition, the initial blast of hypersonic exhaust molecules 'interacts' with the atmospheric molecules and momentarily exerts a backward force.  However, immediately after this (micro-seconds), the initial volume of atmospheric molecules has been replaced with the ejected exhaust molecules, and this constant stream of ejected exhaust molecules prevents further atmospheric molecules from replacing those that had been previously 'interacted' with.

In other words, just after ignition there are no more atmospheric molecules adjacent to the engine nozzle for the exhaust molecules to 'interact' with. Therefore, there are no longer any propelling forces being applied to the base of the rocket by exhaust molecules, which had previously and only momentarily been 'bounced' back by the atmospheric molecules immediately after engine ignition.

Papa Legba insists that a rocket is propelled by pushing off the atmosphere, yet I have shown that there are NO atmospheric molecules below a rocket as they have all been replaced by hypersonic exhaust molecules within the exhaust plume, so there is No 'atmosphere' for the rocket to push off.

So, I have shown that there are NO atmospheric molecules beneath a rocket, as the exhaust plume has moved and replaced them with hypersonic exhaust molecules extending a large distance behind the rocket.

But according to you, a rocket is propelled by pushing off the atmosphere?

How can this be, as your theory requires that exhaust molecules that impact with atmospheric molecules are then bounced back to impart a propelling force onto the base of the rocket? Obviously, if there are no atmospheric molecules present, then the exhaust molecules will just continue to move at hypersonic speeds away from the rocket.

You have some explaining to do, to save your theory from the rubbish bin.

Actually, the wording on this 'flyer' is incorrect.

A jet engine's thrust is measured in terms of 'pounds of thrust' or Newtons. 

It has NOTHING to do with the eflux 'reacting' with the atmosphere and pushing off of atmospheric molecules.

Sure, an aircraft needs an atmosphere to function, but only because it needs air to be passing over its wings to provide the necessary lifting forces. Air/oxygen is also required to ignite the fuel in the combustion chamber.

If we look at the rocket system, the necessary ignition source, is carried by the fuel itself in the form of an oxidiser.

You do realise that a jet aircraft is pushing large amounts of exhaust molecules out of its engines at extremely high velocities?  It's this mass of ejected material that is providing the required momentum, to propel the aircraft in the opposite direction.

In the diagram below, you can see that the jet eflux (high speed exhaust) extends a large distance behind the rear of the engine. The are NO atmospheric molecules in this zone that YOUR propulsion theory requires for the thrust to push off of. 


(http://www.renewable-energy-news.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/ocn-jet-engine-increases-fuel-efficiency.jpg)




So to recap -

A JET ENGINE PROVIDES THRUST TO THE AIRCRAFT SYSTEM BY EJECTING LARGE AMOUNTS OF HIGH VELOCITY MASS (A MIX OF BURNT FUEL AND AIR) THEREBY CREATING A LARGE MOMENTUM FORCE WHICH IS COUNTERED BY THE PROPORTIONAL OPPOSITE DIRECTION MOMENTUM FORCE, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY THE MOVEMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT ITSELF.

A JET AIRCRAFT USES EXACTLY THE SAME PRINCIPLES AS THAT OF A CANNON - BOTH SYSTEMS ARE EJECTING LARGE AMOUNTS OF MASS AT HIGH VELOCITIES, CAUSING LARGE AMOUNTS OF 'RECOIL' MOMENTUM IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

NEITHER SYSTEM DERIVES 'MOVEMENT' FROM PUSHING OFF THE ATMOSPHERE.

It's your opinion that a rocket derives its momentum by the ejection of exhaust molecules which then 'interact' with atmospheric molecules, which in turn impart a propelling force back onto the base of the rocket - correct?

Considering that there are NO atmospheric molecules anywhere near the base of the rocket, due to being replaced with a continuous hypersonic plume of exhaust molecules, it seems impossible that any propulsive force can be generated by atmospheric molecules.

You might like to explain how, in the complete absence of the required atmospheric molecules, a repulsive force is exerted onto the base of the rocket propelling it forward?

Before we carry on, let us examine the following statements:

And we keep explaining why you're wrong.

This is Untrue, & is yet another example of the M-people's continued attempts to brainwash us all.

None of them have explained anything, nor even addressed my point logically, except to blindly insist that P, the propellant, in my dissection of their ridiculous cannon recoil analogy is actually - against all common sense - object B, the cannon ball.

They seem to believe that if enough of them keep shouting that this Lie is The Truth, it will somehow magically become so...

But it will not; Never, Ever.

Truly; sucks to be them.

Now, about this:

according to Papa Legba, when a molecule from a rocket's exhaust hits an atmospheric molecule, the exhaust molecule bounces back and creates a propelling force on the base of the rocket.

I have NEVER claimed this, nor would I, for it is a ridiculous notion.

Thus, we see chtwrone laid bare as a Proven Liar who will say anything in order to 'win' this non-debate & enforce his fantasy notions of 'space-flight' upon us.

The fact is that all the 'round earthers' (lol!) here are adamant that the discussion remain in the realm of Solid Mechanics, rather than the far more correct realm of Fluid Mechanics, Pressure Gradients & Gas Laws, where the truth of how a rocket functions actually lies...

Take Continuum Mechanics alone; this considers fluids to be Continuous, & the fact that fluids are made of distinct molecules is ignored, thus giving us a firm base for understanding the interaction of a rocket's exhaust column with the atmosphere, as well as rendering chtwrone's & sokarul's notions of tiny, isolated billiard balls banging round against one another both absurd & utterly irrelevant.

All one has to do to see how wrong they are is type 'jet flow fluid mechanics' into google images to be presented with a vast array of evidence of how exhausted gasses interact massively with the medium into which they are injected.

Of course, WHY exactly the 'round earthers' (lol!) all wish to sidetrack us into the Incorrect branch of physics is up to neutrals to decide; I do not write for them & my contempt for their motivations should by now be obvious...

But if they wish to confine us solely to solid, contact-based mechanics that's fine by me.

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.
Firing a blank from a gun still produces a recoil this recoil may be diminished but is still there. To make a blank, we remove the bullet, replace it with a bit of wax, so that the gunpowder does not fall out. When we fire the gun, the bit of wax vaporizes so there is no object B, so object B is not required for the recoil.


But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see? So this shows that object B is not required.
 As object B is not required, but the propellant is all that is needed.
Newton's third law states: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This does not require any other object.

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?
The motion of the rocket is from recoil, in an atmosphere or in the vacuum of space.

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.
As object B is not required, but the propellant is all that is needed, as the propellant is burned, it is the recoil of the burning of the propellant, that produces the thrust.
 
& the ONLY possibility or that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion;ed, does not require any other as the propellant is burned it is the recoil that pushes the rocket forwar how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.
 I restate Newton's third law states: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This does not require any other object.
There is no better proof, of a theory, then the practical application of it.
1) you have the Saturn five rocket that sent man to the moon.
2) you have satellites such as the GPS system.
3) you have the ISS.
4) you have the Mars probes.
5) you have the probe that is passing the planet Pluto.
All of which require the use of rockets in a vacuum.

No maths required; only common sense.

As to the next lesson, it may be that the teacher,  need now become the student.

Before we carry on, let us examine the following statements:

And we keep explaining why you're wrong.

This is Untrue, & is yet another example of the M-people's continued attempts to brainwash us all.

None of them have explained anything, nor even addressed my point logically, except to blindly insist that P, the propellant, in my dissection of their ridiculous cannon recoil analogy is actually - against all common sense - object B, the cannon ball.
It seems that we have a difference of opinion as to what constitutes "common sense".

Common sense tells me that when you burn propellant, you produce exhaust gasses that have mass.

Common sense tells me that when you forcibly eject a mass, you will experience an equal and opposite reaction.

So, if a rocket engine is burning propellant and forcibly ejecting the resulting exhaust gasses out the back, then common sense tells me that a forward motion would be produced.

They seem to believe that if enough of them keep shouting that this Lie is The Truth, it will somehow magically become so...

But it will not; Never, Ever.
I agree.  Shouting that expanding propellant can't ever be a reaction mass is a lie that should die.

By the way, why did you start a thread called "People on skateboards" if you're just going to be hung up on the cannon/rifle shooting a bullet analogy?

Markjo: Unfortunately for you & your inevitably tortuous mangling of both Newton & common sense, the Mass of a rocket's exhaust column is in the form of a GAS.

You are all absolutely determined to ignore the nature & properties of a vacuum, & the proven Laws governing behaviour of gasses therein, & keep this forlorn 'debate' in the realm of Solid Mechanics, rather than that of Fluid Mechanics,Gas Laws & Pressure Gradients where it truly belongs.

Correct, but irrelevant.  The expanding exhaust gasses are doing work in a highly pressurized combustion chamber, not a vacuum.

Yet again, you misunderstand the properties & nature of both a combustion chamber & a vacuum.

Do you do this on purpose?

Anyway; is the combustion chamber of a rocket open to the near-infinite vacuum of space?

Yes, it is.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein from the pressurised fuel tank will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank is open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, yet you just can't seem to grasp it...

Oh?  Which properties might those be?

Anyway; is the combustion chamber of a rocket open to the near-infinite vacuum of space?
Yes.  So?

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein from the pressurised fuel tank will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.
First of all, the fuel (and oxidizer) is still in a liquid state when being pumped from the pressurized tanks.

Secondly, free expansion is not an instantaneous process.  It takes time to for free expansion to evacuate the combustion chamber, meanwhile, turbo pumps are constantly pumping more fuel and oxidizer into the chamber where a nearby igniter is setting the mixture ablaze.   

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank is open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.
Actually, the fuel tank is not open to the vacuum.  I'm not sure where you got that impression, but it just isn't so.  I think that you might also be under the impression that the fuel and oxidizer are in a gaseous state while in their tanks.  Again, this is just not so.  There are turbo pumps, valves and some fairly convoluted plumbing between the propellant tanks and the rocket engine.

It is a beautifully simple concept, yet you just can't seem to grasp it...
Simple does not always mean correct.

There's been a lot of seriously stupid stuff coming from the 'round earthers' (lol!) on this thread, but that one takes the cake, the biscuit, the limeade, the whole bloody picnic.

What a dickhead!

Anyhow; this is post 19, so I guess one of them will now just turn the page & carry on shamelessly, as if the complete & abject humiliation they've all subjected themselves to never happened at all...

God Almighty - being a 'round earther' (lol!) sure does suck!



It appears you took great exception to my statement that 'there is no atmosphere beneath a rocket'?

Ok then, if you look at the image below, you will see that I've labelled the atmospheric molecules as blue and the exhaust molecules as black.

As I have stated in previous posts, it is plain to see that there are no atmospheric molecules immediately beneath the rocket, as these have been replaced by hypersonic exhaust molecules contained within the long exhaust plume.

Of course there are atmospheric molecules surrounding the rocket itself, but the only atmospheric molecules beneath the rocket are the ones beneath the exhaust plume which I have shown in red.

Is it these red atmospheric molecules that are somehow producing a force back onto the base of the rocket and propelling it upwards?

Thanks for agreeing that free expansion does take time.  Logically it follow that it should be possible to pump gas in from one end faster than it can freely expand from the other end.

One end of the combustion chamber is connected to the plumbing that feeds the combustion chamber with propellant and the other end has a relatively small opening called the throat where the high pressure exhaust gasses are accelerated through to the expansion nozzle and finally into the void of space.

Just out of curiosity, does the size of the opening exposed to space have anything to do with the rate of free expansion?  That is, will a small opening evacuate a given amount of gas just as quickly as a large opening?
Title: Re: People on skateboards.
Post by: Mainframes on October 26, 2015, 12:30:15 AM
One minor problem Papa. The gases in the combustion chamber cannot 'freely expand' as the exit from the chamber is very constricted and prevents the gases from leaving easily. There is a build up of pressure as there is more gas entering the chamber than can leave it in any given time frame.

As I said before, a vacuum does not have special properties, it is just an absence of matter. Stick a chamber full of pressurised gas with a very small opening in a vacuum and it will take time for the gas to escape. Now that gas will therefore still exert pressure on the walls of the chamber. If the pressure is unequal then the chamber will move. An exit on one side will cause this inequality.

Absolute nonsense. You're just making this up.

The combustion chamber is either OPEN to the vacuum or CLOSED to the vacuum; there is NO half-way.

If it is OPEN, then free expansion will occur to any gas introduced therein.

This is scientific fact, as well as basic logic.

& your bad faith is further evident by your continued misdirection that the absence of matter is the only notable property of a vacuum, when it is the absence of pressure that most concerns us here.

Because the functioning of a rocket is dependent on pressure gradients.

The 'round earthers' (lol!) are determined to keep this 'debate' (lol!) in the incorrect realm of Solid Mechanics rather than the correct realm of Fluid Mechanics & Gas Laws.

Those who have the stomach to read markjo's bilge will also note that he edited one of my posts completely out of context to make it seem I was asking a genuine, rather than rhetorical question; he, too, is here only to act in bad faith & misguide us.

Fact is, these idiots have no coherent model of how a rocket works themselves; they simply tell us that it somehow 'pushes on itself' (lol!) until it gets to space, then pushes on absolutely nothing thereafter, in defiance of all laws of physics.

They completely ignore the fact that my logical analysis of their gun-recoil analogy conclusively shows that a rocket needs another mass between its expanding propellant & itself in order to achieve motion, & simply shout 'YOU'RE WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!' like spoilt children.

They have Nothing, yet the bluffing blow-hards act like they have Everything.

Now I know you're just trolling.

Read my last post; the 1st two examples have object A & object B, with the propellant, P, sitting between them.

But in the case of the rocket, we only have object A & the propellant, P.

There is clearly no object B.

Ergo, no motion can be produced.

But, as rockets do produce motion, another mass must replace object B.

The only possibility for that mass is the atmosphere.

Ergo, rockets push on the atmosphere.

This is VERY simple stuff, mainframes; a child could see it; yet you can not.

Conclusion: Sucks to be you.




The above post made by you clearly states that you believe that 'rockets push on the atmosphere', which obviously implies that it must be the rocket's exhaust that is 'interacting' with the atmosphere and creating an upward propelling force on the base of the rocket.

But for this to be the reason that a rocket propels itself off the atmosphere, obviously the atmosphere must be pushing on the base of the rocket to push it up/forward?

However, as must be obvious to you, there is NO atmosphere pushing on the base of the rocket, as the only 'thing' anywhere near the base of the rocket, is hypersonic exhaust molecules going in the opposite direction to the rocket, and the only atmospheric particles near the rocket are those surrounding it at the top and around the side of the structure.

There are atmospheric molecules at the bottom of the exhaust plume, but these are a great distance from the base of the rocket, so obviously aren't in a position to exert any pressure/force on the base of the rocket.


It would be much appreciated if you could explain in plain language, or with use of a diagram (perhaps you don't know how to construct one and attach it to a post?)
exactly where this 'force/pressure' is coming from that is acting on the base of the rocket to propel it up/forward?


EXACTLY WHAT IS PUSHING ON THE BASE OF THE ROCKET THAT IS PROPELLING IT UP/FORWARD?

You keep saying it; I'll keep laughing at you.

Neutral readers can look up 'jet flow fluid dynamics' on google images to see exactly how a rocket's exhaust column (I note you use the weasel word 'plume') interacts with the medium into which it is injected.

They can also research Continuum Mechanics to learn why you & sock-arul's concept of individual billiard-ball molecules bouncing hither & thither is so inaccurate a model.

They can also note that you are - yet again - trying to keep this forlorn hope of a 'debate' within the Incorrect confines of solid, contact-based mechanics, rather than the Correct realm of Fluid Mechanics, Gas Laws & Pressure Gradients...

& that you have - also yet again - provided no logical refutation of either my statement on Free Expansion or my analysis of the gun recoil analogy.

Back to school: please note in the below example that, as the expanding propellant, P, is sited inbetween the two recoil masses, they are at no point in contact with one another...

It may help you think more clearly on this matter.

Though somehow I doubt it...

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

This is scientific fact, as well as basic logic.

& your bad faith is further evident by your continued misdirection that the absence of matter is the only notable property of a vacuum, when it is the absence of pressure that most concerns us here.

Because the functioning of a rocket is dependent on pressure gradients.

What did I tell you, neutrals?

The 'round earthers' (lol!) are determined to keep this 'debate' (lol!) in the incorrect realm of Solid Mechanics rather than the correct realm of Fluid Mechanics & Gas Laws.

Those who have the stomach to read markjo's bilge will also note that he edited one of my posts completely out of context to make it seem I was asking a genuine, rather than rhetorical question; he, too, is here only to act in bad faith & misguide us.

Fact is, these idiots have no coherent model of how a rocket works themselves; they simply tell us that it somehow 'pushes on itself' (lol!) until it gets to space, then pushes on absolutely nothing thereafter, in defiance of all laws of physics.

They completely ignore the fact that my logical analysis of their gun-recoil analogy conclusively shows that a rocket needs another mass between its expanding propellant & itself in order to achieve motion, & simply shout 'YOU'RE WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!' like spoilt children.

They have Nothing, yet the bluffing blow-hards act like they have Everything.

They are LOL!!!

Now; what username does sock-arul troll youtube videos under?

I think I know; but it'd be nice if he told us himself, wouldn't it, readers?

I'll ask again. In a chamber with a restricted exit, can and do all gas particles leave immediately? And why?

That depends on the size of the exit.

But whatever its size, they will leave as fast as it is physically possible for them to do so, by the path of least resistance, doing no work on the way, until interior & exterior pressures are equalised.

Because of free expansion.

Any more questions that I've already repeatedly answered?

Btw; I know where you're going with this - it is the very last, forlorn hope that you space-cultists have for trying to prove that a pressurised gas is capable of producing at least SOME motion in a vacuum...

& it is bullshit.

As well as being yet another tiresome Solid Mechanics & bouncing billiard-ball molecules based solution...

Because you simply will not apply the correct principles to this matter.

Neutrals can all google 'continuum assumption' to avoid having to read the vast flood of pseudo-scientific nonsense on its way.

See; legba opens doorways!

'Round earthers' (lol!) like to keep em firmly barred & gated...

That's the question of the day: how fast is "as fast as it is physically possible"?  Think of a funnel.  A big opening at one end where stuff goes in and a small hole at the other end where stuff "freely expands" out "as fast as it is physically possible".

Gas molecules do not follow the path of least resistance. They bounce around at random, hitting chamber walls and other gas molecules. A gas molecule only exits the chamber by chance. F the exit to the chamber is greatly reduced in size it makes it much less likely that the molecule will exit the chamber.

Apply this chance (probability%) to a lot of molecules and you start to model how it would take for a gas to leave a chamber. This value will be dependant upon the number of molecules, their velocity, chamber size and exit size.

the only atmospheric particles near the rocket are those surrounding it at the top and around the side of the structure.

LOL!!!

You keep saying it; I'll keep laughing at you.

Neutral readers can look up 'jet flow fluid dynamics' on google images to see exactly how a rocket's exhaust column (I note you use the weasel word 'plume') interacts with the medium into which it is injected.

They can also research Continuum Mechanics to learn why you & sock-arul's concept of individual billiard-ball molecules bouncing hither & thither is so inaccurate a model.

They can also note that you are - yet again - trying to keep this forlorn hope of a 'debate' within the Incorrect confines of solid, contact-based mechanics, rather than the Correct realm of Fluid Mechanics, Gas Laws & Pressure Gradients...

& that you have - also yet again - provided no logical refutation of either my statement on Free Expansion or my analysis of the gun recoil analogy.

Back to school: please note in the below example that, as the expanding propellant, P, is sited inbetween the two recoil masses, they are at no point in contact with one another...

It may help you think more clearly on this matter.

Though somehow I doubt it...

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.




The question that I asked should have a one or two word answer.



IN YOUR ROCKET PROPULSION MODEL, EXACTLY WHAT IS PUSHING ON THE BASE OF THE ROCKET TO PROPEL IT UP/FORWARD?






Title: Re: People on skateboards.
Post by: Papa Legba on October 26, 2015, 11:47:49 AM
You lot just don't get it, do you?

This isn't about MY model of rocketry.

It's about yours & NASA's.

Because it makes no sense.

Because it violates all the laws of physics.

Because it's bullshit propaganda.

And here's why:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank is open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by all the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...

Sucks to be you; sucks like a vacuum in fact.

And this too:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.


Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Which is very deceitful, is it not?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Now keep up your brainwashing through peer-pressure; a thousand Lies can never equal one Truth.

Newton, Joules & Thomson all agree with me, not you...

All matter and molecules are attached but seeing as we are dealing with rocket fuel, I will say that all rocket fuel, whether ignited or not is all attached molecules. They are either contracted or expanded depending on whether they are allowed to by releasing them from their container.

Apologies that you found my PM to you 'very odd and annoying'.


Not sure if you've been following this thread, but if you look back on some of the more recent posts within the last week or so, you will note that I've been attempting to get a response from Papa Legba, as to how a rocket is propelled by pushing on the atmosphere?

I have used a series of diagrams to illustrate his rocketry model, but these have yet to generate an appropriate and coherent response.

It's disappointing that he's not using this thread to 'educate' all of us about his theory, but instead just resorts to lame and abusive rhetoric in his posts, without ever 'explaining' things.

Perhaps you could assume the role of the 'responsible' FEer on this thread and actually give your opinion and thoughts on how a rocket propels off the atmosphere?

I guess the hard part for many of us to get our heads around, is how the rocket's exhaust 'interacts' with the atmosphere, which is turn creates a propelling force on the base of the rocket?

As you can see below, we have a picture with 3 elements in it -

1/  The rocket
2/  The exhaust plume, and
3/  The atmosphere

The rocket pictured, is an Apollo Saturn V, with a gross weight of approximately 6.5 million pounds.
The exhaust plume, contains burnt fuel particles (no atmosphere), which are travelling at over 4 kilometres per second as they leave the engine nozzles.
The atmosphere, which is comprised of mostly nitrogen and a smaller percentage of oxygen and other trace gases.


The question that is really playing on my mind and others, is how the exhaust plume is interacting with the atmosphere, and generating a lifting force of over 6 million pounds on the base of the rocket?

Do you have any idea where this huge lifting force is coming from, as I don't have a clue, and I was really hoping that you could provide the answer?

But why are you so reluctant to explain how a rocket's exhaust 'interacts' with the atmosphere, and in turn generates a massive propelling/lifting force on the base of the rocket?

I would have thought you would have embraced this opportunity to explain this, so as to completely and utterly destroy the momentum method of propulsion that round earther's are continually putting forward.

You say that nobody has yet adequately explained 'NASA's rocketry model', yet it's YOU who seems to be VERY averse to explaining how a rocket's exhaust interacts with the atmosphere, which in turn produces a propelling/lifting force on the base of the rocket?

Is it too hard to explain in simple enough terms for us to understand, or is it because you would rather keep us all in the dark as to what you theory is actually all about?

But why would you want to keep us all in the dark, when surely the purpose of these threads is to 'educate' each other, and to exchange ideas?

I for one, would be very interested in your viewpoint and theory on how the atmosphere pushes a rocket upwards/forward?


Maybe I just need clarification on what it is that you're actually proposing in your rocket propulsion theory.

Correct me if I'm wrong in my interpretation of your theory, but am I correct in assuming the following -

It is your contention that a rocket is supported by the 'rigidity' of the exhaust column, and this column is supported and repelled by the atmosphere, and the exhaust pushes off the atmosphere and propels the rocket upward?

I realise that might sound clumsy, but is that the crux of your theory?  Maybe you could re-word it to make it sound more coherent?

Anyhow; stop putting the onus on me; it's yours & NASA's claims we're 'debating' (lol!) here...

So get explaining; I imagine it'll involve a lot of VERY LARGE PHOTOS OF FAKE ROCKET LAUNCHES & drawings of molecules banging about like a game of marbles...

All of which will serve to make you look more & more clueless the further you go.

So; carry on lying!




It is your contention that a rocket is supported by the 'rigidity' of the exhaust column, and this column is supported and repelled by the atmosphere, and the exhaust pushes off the atmosphere and propels the rocket upward?


But is the above statement about right?  I really want to understand your viewpoint - maybe just a few words need to be rearranged or changed?

It's easy to simply state that a picture is fake, but when millions of people have witnessed the event for themselves at the actual launch location, how can you possibly state that the launch was fake?

The picture below is of the Apollo 11 Saturn V rocket, and shows the same rocket that was actually launched off the pad, so please explain why this is a fake picture of the rocket launch?

And to simply state that the picture is fake, is clearly not good enough.

Plus this, to stay on topic...

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank is open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...

Sucks to be you; sucks like a vacuum in fact.

& this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.


Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forcess, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

I think that's all...

Incorrect. A vacuum is not a force. The exhaust gases escape from their elastic collisions with each other. This takes time. Furthermore they are actually pushed out with quite the force for the constant addition of more molecules.

Do you suppose that it makes any difference as to just how open to the vacuum of space the chamber is?  That is, if you're burning 100 kg of propellant per second in a 25 cm diameter combustion chamber, will the exhaust gasses freely expand just as quickly out of a 2.5 cm diameter opening as they will out of a 25 cm diameter opening?

Sorry, but I cannot debate with liars.

I will not waste time dissecting sokarul's mighty shitpost point by point; anyone with the slightest knowledge of physics can see it is nonsense, full of non-sequiturs, false logic & bold-faced lies.

His main mistake though - a deliberate one, I can only conclude - is to keep up the fallacy that the propellant, P, in my below example can take the place of Object B, & somehow be Two things at Once.

A child can see that it can not, therefore my argument remains unrefuted.

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

Finally, note that sock-arul's most triumphant & emphatic crowing of victory is reserved for my little joke that 'round earthers' (lol!) 'suck like a vacuum'.

Of course I know that, strictly speaking, a vacuum does not 'suck', idiot; it's a JOKE.

What a loser... He sucks like a vacuum, in fact!

Oh, & he also blatantly lies when he says he has shown an air wrench will work in a vacuum; he has not.

& whether it does or not is irrelevant anyway, as - believe it or not, rocking socking psycho - a rocket is not an air -wrench!

So; presenting a Strawman wrapped within a Lie; great 'debate' work, socky-boy!

Of course, none of the above will convince our OCD sock-thing chum that he is anything but 'unndifeeetd'; nothing ever will.

But if you think his attitude stinks here, you should see what a foul-mouthed sociopath he is when trolling the far less censored environs of youtube comments...

As for markjo; nobody cares: gas can do no work in a vacuum.

Playing with numbers won't change this FACT.

I've told you this several times already, alzheimer's-face.

Perhaps you'd like to waste our time expounding on YOUR imaginary qualifications, as mainframes did?

I suggest that, like all intelligent neutral readers, you'd be better off learning the appropriate physical principles involved in our 'debate', so as to comprehend the iron-clad FACT that a gas-powered rocket simply cannot function in a practically infinite zero-pressure system...

I'm not trying to get gas to do work in a vacuum.  I'm trying to fill a combustion chamber with gas faster than free expansion can empty it by varying the size of the opening to space.  Do you believe that it's possible to do that or will the vacuum of space always win, even if the opening is microscopic?

Note to neutrals: free expansion is also known as Joules expansion or the Joules-Thomson effect. It states quite categorically that a gas can do no work in a vacuum.

No it doesn't Papa. Now YOU are lying

Quote
Free expansion is an irreversible process in which a gas expands into an insulated evacuated chamber. It is also called Joule expansion.

It is not that gas cannot do work in a vacuum. It is that gas does no work when expanding into an evacuated chamber because all of the effect net to zero.

I'm trying to explain, but I need you to let me know if it's possible pump gas into a combustion chamber faster then free expansion can drain it if I make the opening small enough.  It really isn't that hard of a question, is it?

Anyhoo; I'd say this thread has run its course, wouldn't you?
No, because you refuse to answer simple questions that could move the discussion forward.

None of you have come up with any solid science or logic to support your position.
Solid science requires math and you're afraid of math.

But, if you insist on solid science, let's discuss the Venturi effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect).  Essentially, it says that a fluid flowing in a large pipe will accelerate when it moves through a narrow opening.  Well, as has been mentioned countless times before, the combustion gasses leave through a relatively narrow opening in the combustion chamber. 

Even if the combustion gasses are merely freely expanding, the Venturi effect says that those gasses will accelerate when passing through that narrow opening.  Since the combustion gasses have mass, it follows that mass of the gasses multiplied by the acceleration will result in a force generated by those accelerating gasses.

Shall we just stop here & say I won?
No, because that would be a lie and you don't abide liars.

The old markjo/mainframes tag-team, at it again.

You are simply lying through your asses about gas laws & it is embarrassing.

Like this:

Even if the combustion gasses are merely freely expanding, the Venturi effect says that those gasses will accelerate when passing through that narrow opening. 

No it doesn't.

For that to happen there'd have to be pressure within the venturi chamber; but there isn't, because it's open to a vacuum, remember?

REMEMBER THE VACUUM?

Gas does No Work in a vacuum; I thought you'd agreed to that?

Don't tell me you've flip-flopped again; that's not like you...

I mean; look at this garbage:

Quote
Free expansion is an irreversible process in which a gas expands into an insulated evacuated chamber. It is also called Joule expansion.

It is not that gas cannot do work in a vacuum. It is that gas does no work when expanding into an evacuated chamber because all of the effect net to zero.

What, exactly, is in that 'evacuated chamber' that the gas does no work whilst expanding into?

Could it be a vacuum?

Why yes; yes it IS a vacuum.

Thus, mainframes completely contradicts himself in one sentence!

& what 'because all of the net effect to zero' means is anybody's guess...

He does this all the time, yet expects us to believe he has a masters in science...

Of course an evacuated chamber contains a vacuum, that's why it says 'evacuated'. The important point is that it must be a chamber. It must be a fully enclosed system that transfers no mass or energy to the external environment.

This is why you are totally missing the point. Free expansion does not net work because it is fully enclosed.

Stop trying to wriggle out of your crass blunders.

Of course experiments to prove Free Expansion use an enclosed chamber; how else can they create a vacuum in laboratory conditions?

But exactly the same principles would apply when a tank of pressurised gas is opened to the practically-infinite vacuum of space.

Principles which it must be noted you just admitted are correct, i.e. that the gas would freely expand, doing no work.

So no, I am not 'missing the point'; you are, as usual.

Now; please provide proof that you have a masters in science; because it is becoming increasingly hard to believe that this is the case.

Who said anything about pressure?  The vacuum is sucking the gasses out of the combustion chamber, correct?  If the opening is smaller than the chamber, then the gasses will accelerate through the opening because it's smaller than the combustion chamber.  That is unless you're calling Venturi a liar too.

Wrong again. Free expansion is an adiabatic process, it cannot transfer mass or energy outside the system. If the system is open to space then it transfers both. For gas to leave the system into space it must have some work performed on it to change the direction of gas particles towards the exit. This must happen. If work is done on the gas, then the gas will do work on the system in return as per newtons 3rd.

As for my degree. Feel free to check graduates list of 2002 at University of Bath. I shouldn't be hard to find.

I'm not calling Venturi a Liar, retard; I'm calling you a Liar.

Again.

Because the Venturi effect relies on pressure build-up behind the narrowing of the nozzle in order to accelerate the gasses & there can be no pressure if that nozzle is open to a practically-infinite vacuum.

REMEMBER THE VACUUM, HUMPTY DUMPTY?

Free expansion is an adiabatic process, it cannot transfer mass or energy outside the system. If the system is open to space then it transfers both.

A rocket in the vacuum of space IS a system, retard; so of course no mass or energy is transferred out of it.

Free expansion is not an instantaneous process. 

Let me say that again in bold and all caps so that you don't miss it.

FREE EXPANSION IS NOT AN INSTANTANEOUS PROCESS. 

IT TAKES TIME FOR THE GASSES TO LEAVE THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER.


It may not be a very long time, but during that time, there is pressure within the chamber. 

As long as gas can be introduced into the chamber as fast or faster than it can freely expand, then there will be pressure in that chamber and Venturi and Newton's third will apply. 

Ranting, denying and ignoring won't change that fact.

Really; you wouldn't believe the filth he comes out with on youtube comments...



As you know Papa Legba, I have been dealing specifically with how a rocket is propelled within the atmosphere.

Let's take a look at this oft repeated statement of yours -



'With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.'


You seem to think that you can conveniently disregard the fuel mass when looking at a rocket system. It's almost as if you haven't even considered it at all in your analogies? 

Do you agree that an X amount of 'work' has been done on the rockets's fuel during combustion and forcible ejection out of the engine nozzles?

It would be very hard to argue against this, as it should be obvious to all, that initially, the fuel was stationary within the fuel tanks, but during the combustion process, it has now being to converted to a hypersonic flow of exhaust particles, that still has the same mass as before.

A tremendous amount of 'work' (momentum) has now been imparted onto the once stationary fuel mass, and this momentum equation must now be balanced, which obviously results in the rocket being propelled in the opposite direction to that of the hypersonic burnt fuel mass (exhaust).

YOUR MYSTICAL OBJECT B, IS OF COURSE THE FUEL BEING FORCIBLY EJECTED OUT OF THE ROCKET SYSTEM. 

This is exactly the same method by which a cannon is propelled (recoiled) due to the forcible ejection of the cannonball out this system.


And yes Papa Legba, the fuel CAN be both the propellent (combustive agent) AND Object B (ejected fuel mass X).

 It seems you can't get your head around the fact, that despite being able to be the propellent P in your analogies, the combusted fuel still has the same mass as before, and it's for this very reason, that you elusive Object B has been steering you in the face all along.



IN A ROCKET SYSTEM, OBJECT B IS THE FUEL.

Oh I see, the exhaust is creating a force between the ground and the rocket, which in turn propels the rocket up/forward. But what happens when the rocket is well clear of the ground - what is the exhaust pushing on now?  It must be the atmosphere that the exhaust is pushing on now - right?

Title: Re: People on skateboards.
Post by: Papa Legba on October 29, 2015, 03:54:07 AM
LOL!!!

Nobody cares; everyone's laughing; you lost.

Back to school now...

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank is open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...

Sucks to be you; sucks like a vacuum in fact.

& this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Ok fine, if you want to call a 'force' a 'push' then let's run with that for the meantime.


Let's look at person on a skateboard who throws a medicine ball.

Would you agree that in effect, when a person on a skateboard 'pushes' on a medicine ball, that the required equal and opposite 'push' is that of the medicine ball back onto the person?

 In other words, the medicine ball 'pushes' back on the person?

Correct?

So you're saying that if I have a 10 cm diameter chamber with a 5 cm diameter inlet and a 1 cm diameter outlet, then there is no possible way to pump in gas through the 5 cm inlet than faster than it will escape through the 1 cm outlet?

LOL!!!

Could you please name the exact 'spayzze-rokkit' you're referring to with such miniscule dimensions for its thrust chamber, plus the fuel-pump & fuel tank specifications, markjo?

& in the unlikely event you do name it, then please find the lab analysis of its vacuum functioning, including film of it being tested in a vacuum chamber, if you would?
I never said that those dimensions were for a rocket engine.  You said: "The chamber is ALWAYS open; & in the near-infinite vacuum of 'space' that means there can BE no pressure in the chamber, ever...".

I just listed some arbitrary dimensions of a chamber to see if that falls within your assertion.

Well, does it?

Can I use a 5 cm diameter inlet to pump in a gas into a 10 cm diameter chamber faster than the near infinite vacuum of space can freely expand that gas through a 1 cm diameter outlet?

It's a fairly simple question.

Why are you afraid to answer it?

What's the worst that could happen?

If you say no, it isn't possible, then I say that you're full of crap and we move on.

Because until you do, someone might suspect you're just juggling numbers & playing with hypotheticals in an attempt to squirm your way round the laws of physics.
What's wrong with hypotheticals? 

When used properly, hypotheticals can be quite useful.

If you're right and pressure can't ever build up in a chamber with one end open to a vacuum, then it shouldn't matter what numbers I use.

Everyone can see you have lost; & nobody will be reading it for any reason other than to laugh at my taunting of you for your bumbling trollery.

Whatever: school-time again!

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank is open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...

Sucks to be you; sucks like a vacuum in fact.

& this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

You do realise that a rocket system contains a huge amount of fuel mass, so how can you so easily dismiss this mass as not being your mysterious Object B?

But you keep asking where is this mysterious and essential momentum mass?

It's staring you in the face, but yet you cannot see it? 

It's almost as if you're completely denying that a rocket loses mass at all, if it's you're contention that the rapidly exiting fuel mass doesn't have any momentum force?



You do realise that a rocket is propelled according to Newton's momentum laws, don't you?

It should be obvious to you, that when this fuel mass is forcibly ejected out of the rocket system at hypersonic velocity, then obviously a HUGE momentum force has just been created, and this X amount of momentum must be imparted back onto Object A - the rocket, and surprise, surprise, it is propelled with an equal amount of momentum in the opposite direction to that of Object B, the fuel.

You see, this Newtonian momentum stuff isn't that hard to understand at all.

Yes, the rocket creates a Force; this is Newton's 2nd: Force = Mass x Acceleration.

And, again, it should be obvious to YOU that in the case of a rocket the only possibility for that other, extrinsic mass is that of the atmosphere through which it travels.

I'm not trying to get gas to do work in a vacuum.

If the above is true, then why are you now trying to do the opposite, using what you admit to be arbritrary & hypothetical rules?
I'm not.  I'm trying to fill a chamber with gas so that the gas can do work in a pressurized chamber.  The fact that one end is open to a vacuum just means that I need to pump gas into the chamber very quickly. 

A combustion chamber may have one end exposed to the near infinite vacuum of space, but the chamber itself is a very finite space. 

Free expansion is not an instantaneous process, this means that it takes time for the gasses to escape into the vacuum of space and the smaller the opening, the longer it takes for the gas to escape.

If I pump air into one end of the chamber, then it takes time for that gas to move from one end of the chamber to the other end that is open to space.

During that time, the chamber contains a gas and is therefore no longer a vacuum.  It may not be a very long time, but it is under pressure for a time.

The trick is to force gas into the chamber at a faster rate than gas can escape through free expansion. 

Now, instead of your usual name calling and ranting, please explain why it's impossible to force more gas through a big opening than can freely expand through a small opening in a civil manner, if at all possible.

Don't Use Metaphors

If you find yourself typing out the words, "It's kinda like if…" then stop immediately and delete what you've written. The silence of your non-response is going to carry much more weight than your argument. Metaphors—comparing the situation you're debating to a different situation—are the cyanide of online arguments.

What's wrong with metaphors?

Metaphors are a teaching method and work wonderfully when your audience is on your side. When someone is on your side, they mentally find the comparison points and use them to enrich their understanding of what you're saying. When they're against you, they focus solely on the differences between your case and the example case. As soon as they do, you're no longer debating about the original point. A second debate thread has been created, and now you're debating whether or not your point is comparable to X. Getting back to your original argument is nearly impossible.

Let's say the initial total momentum of your system is zero - mass, but no speed.

If you throw part of that mass, call it m, in one direction at a speed v, its momentum is m*v in that direction.

The final total momentum for the system (what is left + thrown part) must still be zero (conservation of momentum).

Therefore, the momentum of what is left must be m*v in the direction opposite to the thrown thing.

If the mass that is left is M, then its speed is m*v/M in the direction opposite to the thrown thing.

No need to "push" against anything ... and that's why a rocket works in a vacuum as well as in an atmosphere. Every other argument is just a smoke-screen ...

You really are bloody stupid.

Gas does no work when it expands into an evacuated chamber ie a chamber that contains a vacuum. The gas does no work because it is contained within a finite enclosed space and exchanges no mass or energy with the external environment. This is the theoretical 'free expansion'.

This does not apply to a combustion chamber in a rocket. Pressure will build in a combustion chamber as the gases will enter faster than they can leave. This gives a build up of gas molecules in the chamber that will cause pressure. Pressure is simply the presence of mass impacting a wall and is proportional to the amount of mass and its energy in a given area.

LOL!!!

Evidence suggests otherwise, Humpty Dumpty.

Cos if you were, you'd agree with all I write below.

Cos it is all based on pure Reason.

As well as every established Law of Physics.

So no; 'reasonable discussion' is NOT something you have ever proven capable of.

Nice try, but no-one's buying what YOU'RE selling, weirdo!

But enough of that; homework time again!

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank is open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...

Sucks to be you; sucks like a vacuum in fact.

& this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.


Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

The problem is that you are not applying those established laws of physics correctly.

So no; 'reasonable discussion' is NOT something you have ever proven capable of.
Is calling people lying shitposters your idea of a reasonable discussion?

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.
Agreed.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.
Incorrect.  Depending on the dimensions of the chamber, it is possible to pump a gas into the chamber faster than it can escape into the vacuum of space.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.
In a liquid propellant rocket, the fuel and oxidizer injected into the combustion chamber in a liquid form (the hint is in the name).  Does free expansion apply to liquids?

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank is open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.
Except that the pressure will not equalize as long as you keep adding gas to the chamber faster than it can escape on its own.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by the laws of physics...
Agreed.  I don't understand why you keep getting it wrong.

... yet you 'round earthers (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...[/b]
Aren't you a round earther?

Sucks to be you; sucks like a vacuum in fact.
Actually, a vacuum doesn't suck the gasses out of a chamber.  Like just about everything else in physics, the gasses naturally move from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure until equilibrium is achieved.

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Imagine the person as the rocket and the rocket fuel as the medicine ball. Works perfectly. Physics 101.

! No longer available (http://#)

sokarul, I watched your video of the guy on the skateboard and I tried my best to relate that to a rocket. Didn't you say you were a scientist or something like that? My question to you is don't you realize that when the guy threw the ball outwards he was throwing against the air in the room. The air in the room was acting like a wall and he was PUSHING against it with the ball and he was able to roll backwards because the skateboard had wheels on it.

Judging by the video, I'd say the ball is at least 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Let's say 10 inches in diameter, that will give us a surface area of just the face of the ball around 78 square inches. Let's just say the atmospheric pressure is just 14 psi assuming the guy is at sea level. If we multiply 78 x 14 = 1092. That is a 1000 pound wall of air the guy is pushing the ball against. Would someone please correct me if I'm wrong. But if I'm correct, wouldn't you think that would be enough force acting in the opposite direction to propel the guy on the skateboard backwards?



Papa Legba, just wondering if you agree with Yendor's contention that a man on a skateboard is being propelled in one direction because of the atmosphere pushing on the medicine ball in the other direction?

If you do in fact agree with him, then you will obviously think that a man throwing a beach ball the same size as the medicine ball, at the same speed, will produce exactly the same amount of propulsive force?

If this is the case, I'm wondering why the experiment would incorporate the use of a heavy and cumbersome medicine ball?  I'm starting to think that perhaps it's the large mass of the medicine ball that is producing the momentum force required to move the man on the skateboard?

Remember this little exchange?

It should be obvious to you, that when this fuel mass is forcibly ejected out of the rocket system at hypersonic velocity, then obviously a HUGE momentum force has just been created, and this X amount of momentum must be imparted back onto Object A - the rocket, and surprise, surprise, it is propelled with an equal amount of momentum in the opposite direction to that of Object B, the fuel.

LOL!!!

It should be obvious to YOU that you are trying to forcibly & illogically derive Newton's 3rd from an example of only Newton's 2nd.

Yes, the rocket creates a Force; this is Newton's 2nd: Force = Mass x Acceleration.

But unless that Force then Pushes or Presses against another object, or mass, Extrinsic to the rocket system, Newton's 3rd will not be fulfilled & no motion will be produced.

And, again, it should be obvious to YOU that in the case of a rocket the only possibility for that other, extrinsic mass is that of the atmosphere through which it travels.

Ergo; when atmospheric mass is removed from the equation, as it must be in a vacuum, the rocket cannot produce motion.

Simple stuff.

So; when you write this:

You see, this Newtonian momentum stuff isn't that hard to understand at all.

It makes no differences if it is combusting or combusted. Once the fuel/oxidiser/exhaust mix has left the nozzle then it plays no part in interacting with the rocket.

Do YOU understand that you can have localised pressure within a vacuum environment if you use a container with a small exit and are pumping in liquid vapour faster than the gas can leave. Therefore the container will contain gas and this creates pressure.

Gas does not follow the path of least resistance toward a vacuum. It simply doesn't. Not one law of physics states this. You are thinking of net flux.

Rockets push on their exhaust within the combustion chamber and nozzle.

Yes.  Anytime a force is created, that force acts upon the mass that is crating that force and a reaction mass.  In the case of a rocket, the force is created by burning the fuel.  This means that the force generated by the burning fuel acts on mass of the fuel that was just burned and reacts with the rocket.

It's very simple, the fuel/propellent, once ignited, is forced out of the rocket system, with exactly the same weight as it had when it was sitting stationary within the fuel tanks. What is the result of a substantial amount of mass (fuel) being being forcibly ejected with huge velocity out of a rocket system?

A HUGE AMOUNT OF MOMENTUM IS CREATED.

Laughably, Papa Legba thinks that a rocket's exhaust is still 'attached' to the rocket once its left the engine nozzles.  It's only at this point, that he somehow thinks that the exhaust is now pushing on the atmosphere, and then exerts a HUGE force back onto the base of the rocket, propelling it forward/up.

This is THE most ridiculous notion that anybody could ever come up with, and it's clear that this CLOWN knows very little about momentum laws - I bet he even failed his Kindergarten 101 course, lol.

Logically, he also thinks that the expelled breathe that we make with our bodies, is still 'attached' to the Human Body system as well, LOL.

As explained to you, a vacuum is not a force. The only way for the exhaust to leave the combustion chamber is from it's own pressure.  This take a finite amount of time. In practice the exhaust gas leaves the rocket faster than if it wasn't reacting.  Higher exhaust speed means more thrust.

Quote
Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.
As explained this is incorrect. The gas will still just bounce of each other and whatever else is around. The gas is not self aware and able to know when it's next to a vacuum.

In the case of a rocket, the force is created by burning the fuel.  This means that the force generated by the burning fuel acts on mass of the fuel that was just burned and reacts with the rocket.

LOL!!!

So the Force acts upon its own Force?!?

That'd be the same Force that's heading AWAY from the rocket at EXACTLY the same velocity as the Force that's somehow trying to push against it?!?!
The force of the expanding gasses inside the combustion chamber act in all directions.  However, since the only opening is at the rear, the action forces the mass of the combustion gasses out through the opening and the reaction results in pushing the rocket forwards.  I'm not really sure why this is so hard for you to comprehend or accept.

Because you've somehow done it again; cobbled together a Frankenstein version of Newton 3 out of what is only an example of Newton 2, i.e. the rocket system creating a force.

Until you learn that there can be no internal pressure without external pressure then you'll be stuck here forever.

And, of course, there can be no pressure at all if the rocket is in a vacuum...

REMEMBER THE VACUUM?

As for sock-arul's pathetic attempt:

'In practice the exhaust gas leaves the rocket faster than if it wasn't reacting.' - O rly?

'Noe.' - LOL!!!

'Yes remember vacuum is not a forced & air isn't self aware' - Speaking in Tongues now?

'You do not understand momentum.' - well I understand it enough to know that it can only be created via some form of Pressure, or Push; which you somehow don't.

Are you saying that you can have an application of Newton's 2nd without having Newton's 3rd staring you in the face?

Are you saying that the force created by burning propellant does not create an action that, in turn, creates an equal and opposite reaction?

If force=mass x acceleration, then how can you not have action/reaction? 

If the burning of propellant within a combustion chamber creates a force, is that force not acting on both the mass of the resultant combustion gasses and the mass of the combustion chamber?

Until you learn that there can be no internal pressure without external pressure then you'll be stuck here forever.
Huh?  What are you talking about?  Are you referring to the internal pressure of the combustion gasses being balanced by the external pressure of the combustion chamber?

And, of course, there can be no pressure at all if the rocket is in a vacuum...

Happy now, retard?

Feel smarter?

Learnt how momentum is created yet?

Or how gas behaves in a vacuum?

Actually, that last bit's probably too complicated, so here's a few tips to get you going; I've revised the bit about the fuel tank & combustion chamber, as you seemed unable to grasp the rather obvious fact that they are both connected & thus part of the same system.

Hope it helps, retard!

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

*Sigh!*

Looks like it's School-time again!

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.
As explained to you, a vacuum is not a force. The only way for the exhaust to leave the combustion chamber is from it's own pressure.  This take a finite amount of time. In practice the exhaust gas leaves the rocket faster than if it wasn't reacting.  Higher exhaust speed means more thrust.

Quote
Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.
As explained this is incorrect. The gas will still just bounce of each other and whatever else is around. The gas is not self aware and able to know when it's next to a vacuum.
 
Quote
This will continue for as long as the fuel tank is open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.
Why did you change it to the fuel tank? You used to claim it was the combustion chamber that would go to zero, now it's the fuel tank?

I already answered you.

See?

It should be obvious to you, that when this fuel mass is forcibly ejected out of the rocket system at hypersonic velocity, then obviously a HUGE momentum force has just been created, and this X amount of momentum must be imparted back onto Object A - the rocket, and surprise, surprise, it is propelled with an equal amount of momentum in the opposite direction to that of Object B, the fuel.

LOL!!!

It should be obvious to YOU that you are trying to forcibly & illogically derive Newton's 3rd from an example of only Newton's 2nd.

Yes, the rocket creates a Force; this is Newton's 2nd: Force = Mass x Acceleration.

But unless that Force then Pushes or Presses against another object, or mass, Extrinsic to the rocket system, Newton's 3rd will not be fulfilled & no motion will be produced.

And, again, it should be obvious to YOU that in the case of a rocket the only possibility for that other, extrinsic mass is that of the atmosphere through which it travels.

Ergo; when atmospheric mass is removed from the equation, as it must be in a vacuum, the rocket cannot produce motion.

Simple stuff.

So; when you write this:

You see, this Newtonian momentum stuff isn't that hard to understand at all.

You are, as ever, making a complete ass of yourself.

And now you are making an ass of yourself even more...

Are you a masochist?

The ass is clearly YOU.

It's YOU who lamely thinks that a rocket's exhaust is FIRMLY attached to the rocket, lol.

You might like to explain to us all, just how a gas can be attached to a solid.


No doubt you'll just make another lame excuse as to why you don't have to answer this question, but it will only serve to highlight, yet again, just how baseless and ignorant your opinions/thoughts/theories/propositions are.

Mass flow will make no difference in your space of virtual vacuum.
Why don't you have a think on that for a bit.
I have and I stand by what I said.

It all depends on what you're take is on mass flow.
Let's put it simply.
If you allow compressed gas to exit a container into a virtual vacuum of space as you believe space is, then your mass flow will EXPAND into the virtual vacuum as you people believe it is and would be lost in a second because it cannot hit any resistance as it exits the rocket nozzle.

Arguing that the resistance comes from the neck inside of the nozzle and chamber to somehow push in the opposite direction is so pathetic that only brainwashed people and liars can abide by it.

The silly diagrams of a rocket chamber/nozzle showing arrows squeezing the sides and  pointing backwards and forwards with only one outlet for this mass flow to go towards, are a simple con job to make space rockets believable for the ever gullible public.

Your rocket in your space  would go nowhere. Only lies can make it appear that rockets work in your space.
It's all a massive lie and a good lie, if I don say so  myself. Good as in one hell of a clever con job that we as humans deserve due to the fact that  most swallowed it all and will not question it due to being weak.

This is your fundamental errors. U don't resistance to act on. Propulsion system simply changes the momentum of a mass of fluid and the ship "receives" the same change of momentum.

And this is not only true for rockets but for all propulsion system involving a fluid. Jet engines, propeller engine, boat engine and water jets all work on this principle. They just need a mass to accelerate

For the last time. Free expansion does not apply in a rocket engine.

For gas to escape a container it must do work on the container in order to travel towards and out of the exit hole.

consider a  volume with two openings of different section. a flow in stationary condition is passing through the  volume. to have mass conservation inside the volume, which u need since the flow is stationary, u need to have equal mass flow gettin in and out the volume. mass flow is given as density*section area*velocity. if the  exiting section area is smaller than the one in which the flows enters to have equal mass flow u need a greater velocity at the exit.
so the fluid accelerates trough the volume, so it's changing it's momentum.

where do u see the intervention of external mass to the flow?



Btw actually thing are more complicated, especially in supersonic regime, but the basic principle is this one

The mass of the fluid is pushing against the mass of the rocket.  Where's the problem?
The problem is, it's only pushing against the mass of the container holding it inside the rocket; for instance: in a sealed unit the gas is compressed and pushing equally on all walls of the container.

Once that container is opened, it's a simple case of "last man out stinks" for those compressed gas molecules.
If those gas molecules are heading out of that rocket container into atmosphere then a free expansion cannot be done.
A expansion can be done and the difference is huge.

The reason why it cannot freely expand in an atmosphere is because that atmosphere has it's own compressed molecules of matter that creates a barrier against the exiting "expanding" (not freely) gas and this is what moves the rocket.

Take that fictional space rocket into fictional space and the NEAR  vacuum we are told it is, then that rocket would be exiting it's gas  into this near zero vacuum, meaning it actually would be able to freely expand as such. Not quite perfect but close enough as to be able to expend all of that  massively expanded gas to that supposed near vacuum, rendering it a pointless waste of time.

Let's look at it very simply.

Imagine a floating cardboard box in space, as we are told space is.
Imagine that cardboard box having a person in that is cramped inside with both ends closed exactly the same.
The person inside has to now try and move that box in one direction so that the person kicks their feet to push the box lid open but in order to do so, he has to use his head as LEVERAGE in order to exert EQUAL pressure on both ends of that box. The result would be both ends open up, leaving the person stretched out with head and feet equally poking out of the box.

The only work done is the work of cancelling out the effort to open the box. The box stays put.

But a rocket in space only exits it's fuel from one end against the barrier inside, I hear you say.
Ok, let's look at that as well.

Picture the cardboard box, only this time one end is sealed shut and can't be opened and the other end is open.
Inside that box is the same person crouched up and now that person needs to push that box one way.

The person pushes his feet out of the box but realises that there's no leverage to push against. No resistance at all as it's feet into a vacuum.
That means he can't use his head to push the box the other way because to do this he would need that foot leverage.
End result means his feet stick out and he's stretched out with the box and him staying put.

Ok so what about if he grips the sides of that box with his arms whilst he pushes his feet out?
All he could do is to bulge the box at the sides, EQUALLY with no end product except wasted work of his own energy cancelling itself out on either side of his body against any side of that box.

Rockets do not work  in space, can't anyone see why?

At the risk of being ridiculed by the eminent rocket engineers sceptomaniac, papa legba and no doubt many others high up in this profession.  I, of course, am not such an engineer.  I realise that this treatment is horribly simplistic, naive and does not lead to the accurate static thrust equations, but on with the motley!

A Saturn F-1 rocket engine burns 2,578 kg of fuel + oxidiser PER SECOND. That is emitted from the engine nozzle at about 2,600 m/s.
Do a few sums and you will find that the momentum of ONE SECONDS exhaust is around 6.83 MNs. Since force is rate of change of momentum, that is equivalent to a force of 6.83 MN or about 696,000 kg. This is about right for the F-1 engine, and does NOT depend on the atmosphere one little bit (only conservation of momentum - pretty basic!)  In fact if you do a more exact analysis the total static thrust is HIGHER for a LOWER ambient pressure!

OK, you say the rocket cannot push on NOTHING, I guess you are right, BUT it is pushing on a MASSIVE amount (2,578 kg/sec) of burnt fuel coming out the back REAL FAST (2,600 m/s). Right at the exit of the rocket there is no longer a vacuum - the gas cannot escape at infinite speed! It is leaving at around 2,600 m/s (randomised by thermal velocities).  So you the rocket temporarily destroys the vacuum immediately behind the rocket nozzle - after that - as a certain rocket scientist said "WHO CARES?" - mind you a lot of people in London and Antwerp cared a lot!
A Saturn F-1 is of course not designed for optimum performance in a vacuum, but that is not the slightest reason for it NOT working.

Of course for all the pedants among you know that even outer space is NOT a vacuum.  There is probably nowhere with less than 1 hydrogen atom/m^3 and above 50 mile or so altitude the pressure is low enough to not have any further effect on thrust.

Feet pushing or head pushing; the same result  stands. No advancement in work done, except simply cancelling each other out.
i would say completly different results.
feet moving toward the close end all another story...
the container has a mass so an inertia and so has the astronauts.
these means that stretching his legs, the center of mass of the container and the one of the astronaut are moving, so they're accelerating. this acceleration is given by an external force(F=m*a) and for the container this force is the reaction with the feet while for the astronaut is the reaction with the container.

astronaut and the container will separate going in opposite direction.

since u're are soo attached to "it's only one body"  here is a version that explains even under those hypotesis.
considering container as one single body composed of 2 elements.
conservation of momentum states that since the body is still it's momentum should remain zero without external force applied.
motion of the body is defined through the motion of it's center of mass
momentum =0 so no motion so center of mass always in the same position.

practical example, container and astronaut have the same mass. if u take them apart moving the astronaut and the container in the same manner but in opposite direction is esay to see that the center of mass of the body(which is composed by the mass of the container and the astronaut) is always in the same position. so even if the astronaut and the container are now apart the total momentum of your body is still equal zero.

If you want to use this mass in space stuff then you carry on. All it does is deprives you of your rational thought on this stuff.
The choice is entirely yours and I am not really bothered if you refuse to look at the reality or the simplicity of what's there in front of you.

Let's deal with something very simple and without fuss.


To enable you to move something where you are right now. Let's say I ask you to push your cup along the table. Do you need to use any leverage to push that cup or will your hand and arm do it without the aid of anything else?

For instance: would you need to push your foot into the floor, even lightly?

I'm assuming you will play the realistic stance and accept that you need leverage, however small, to move that cup.

Now imagine you are on a rope hanging from the ceiling and you need top push that cup.
This is where your body mass on that rope gives you the leverage to push that cup...but imagine if you had to push that cup by floating in your space. You have nothing to lever off, at all.

Using mass in space is using gravity and yet in your space there is none or micro gravity as the bullshit states.
It's really simply to just say, "ahhh but this object has more mass in space." It's poppy cock but that's the way it is with science bullshit and naturally you and many other's will blindly follow it.

Use your brain or don't. It makes no difference to me.

Let's get to the core of this Sceptimatic. Do you think that a gas is composed of particles boing around in all directions?
Yes, when you say "Let's get to the core of this Sceptimatic.", you really hit the nail on the head!  You got this response "Gas particles are compressed and move about under compression and expansion due to agitation/friction. They are all connected. There are no unattached particles."

That is is the nub of the whole discussion (argument).  We are discussing things on the basis of the kinetic theory of gases:
"The kinetic theory describes a gas as a large number of submicroscopic particles (atoms or molecules), all of which are in constant, random motion. The rapidly moving particles constantly collide with each other and with the walls of the container. Kinetic theory explains macroscopic properties of gases, such as pressure, temperature, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and volume, ......." all that stuff.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory) I know it's only Wikipedia, not a learned publication!
You could get a summary in J. Clerk Maxwell on the History of the Kinetic Theory of Gases, 1871 http://www.jstor.org/stable/228538?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents (http://www.jstor.org/stable/228538?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents)

Sceptimatic's gas molecules seem to be infinitely expandable squishy balls, each of which can expand to fill the available space like soap suds!  This seems to mean that in "outer space" each hydrogen atom (yes, they are disassociated) occupies about one cubic metre!

I think Sceptimatic has finally won.  Who can argue with a theory like and keep a straight face - lucky my Webcam is locked out!
I suppose he has numerous peer reviewed papers (I would suggest Miles Mathis as a possible referee - seems just up his "π = 4" alley) describing how all the observed gas properties are derived from this model.  Probably worthy of a Nobel Prize!

Just as well rockets have not yet heard of that theory!  Till they do, I guess they'll just go on working in space.

No I don't. Not loosely like you think.
Gas particles are compressed and move about under compression and expansion due to agitation/friction. They are all connected. There are no unattached particles.

So then, what is the difference between a gas and a liquid?

Hopefully this time my explanation gets through...

Imagine we had an electric piston in space, with infinite energy from solar power. Now, do you agree that if we extend the piston, the base and the piston rod will both move in opposite directions?
Explain about this electric piston and base? what do you mean by base?

So you don't accept the scientifically proven composition of matter and how it behaves. No wonder you don't think rockets work.
Scientifically proven as in what?
You are told that matter just randomly flits about. You're also told that particles just whizz about unaided in your space with nothing at all around them. It''s ludicrous and is clear and utter bullshit.

Many things happen in the science world that can be rightfully explained and there's much that cannot be explained, rightfully, except to hypothesise and basically, lie.

So according to u liquid and gas are not differentiated by the strength of the bond between molecules but only by their density?

This does also apply to liquid solid difference?

It is simple. We have a box or something housing the piston rod, this housing is what I call the base. The piston rod is, well, the rod being pushed out of the housing. It is electrically driven, as it will make my explanation easier later on. Is it clear enough?

I think Sceptimatic has finally won.  Who can argue with a theory like that and keep a straight face - lucky my Webcam is locked out!
I suppose he has numerous peer reviewed papers (I would suggest Miles Mathis as a possible referee - seems just up his "π = 4" alley) describing how all the observed gas properties are derived from this model.  Probably worthy of a Nobel Prize! (edited)
Back on Dec 3 I admitted Sceptimatic finally had won the argument, and nobody listened. 
Arguing with a slimy eel is one thing, but one that speaks an entirely different language is quite impossible.  At my age I might be able to pick up a little French (like "Comment une molιcule peut κtre gros comme une maison?"), but advanced Gobbledegook is really beyond me.  Count me out!

Back in the OP Papa Legba posted "Newton, Joules & Thomson will be spinning in their graves at such nonsense, but I guess these cultists are too satanically brainwashed to comprehend how basic scientific principles work...
Whatever; knock yourselves out, psychos!"
Well, after Sceptimatic's demolishing of the Kinetic Theory of Gases, there will be enough spinning in graves to cause an earthquake, pity these poor folk, such a lot of wasted effort:
Bernoulli, Gay-Lussac, Clausius, Maxwell, Loschmidt, Boltzmann, Lord Kelvin, Lorentz and Gibbs.  Maybe Poincare would have had a little sympathy with Sceptimatic.

Just why didn't we have someone of Sceptimatic's brilliance teamed with Papa Legba's stubbornness come into the world in time to save these folk from such foolishness?  And, of course, all the rocket engineers for thinking their rockets might work.

Just as well the rockets themselves are so ignorant of Sceptimatic's theories that they just carry on working.

But, whatever the ambient pressure, that burnt fuel right at the exhaust plane of the nozzle is NOT A VACUUM!  It will rapidly expand into the vacuum, but NOT in ZERO time!  That is what the rocket is "pushing on"!  it is interesting that the static thrust equation fro a rocket always has a term for the ambient pressure as in: (https://spaceflightsystems.grc.nasa.gov/education/rocket/Images/specimp.gif)
As well as the
mass flow rate term "(mass flow rate) x (exhaust velocity)" term there is the
pressure difference term (exhaust pressure - ambient pressure) x (area of exhaust nozzle).

This might be from from NASA, but the result is well accepted and can be found in many places!  So if we keep getting more thrust as the ambient pressure falls, at what point does it "magically" turn into a "vacuum" and suddenly go Ga Ga - no NOT Lady Gaga!
At sea level the atmospheric pressure is 1 atm.  Does a rocket continue to work till:
 at 10,000 m about 0.240 atm,
 at 20,000 m about 0.057 atm,
 at 50,000 m about 0.00079 atm,
    at 100 km about 6.25e-7 atm,
    at 200 km about 3.90e-13 atm and
    at 500 km about 9.53e-32 atm.
remember, the thrust keeps INCREASING as the ambient pressure falls, so, where is the magic point where the rocket engine "suddenly" fails to work?  BTW the Saturn F-1 engine has a thrust of about 680,000 kg and an exit nozzle area of about 9.8 m^2 - so a thrust of about 69,500 kg/m^2.  And we we are told that that is from PUSHING ON TH AIR - you have very strong air over there! LOL

Funny that; because I know of no 'engineer' who does not understand that if no motion can be produced, then all talk of momentum is irrelevant.
No motion is produced?  Hmm, that's a new one.

I'm sure you don't know many 'engineers'.

But then again, all the 'engineers' I know are people who make Engines.
Well, most of the engineers that I know, don't make engines.  Some design them, but not many make them.

Mathematical smatterers like computer programmers do not count.

No, my idea of engineering is graduating magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering.  Then getting a job as a rocket scientist.  Well, technically, as a missile scientist.

But hey; if REAL engineering & physics offends you, just 'lock the thread & turn off the lights', eh?
Yep.  If I had had my mod powers restored at the time I would have locked the thread.  But, alas, we are 36 pages deep into this now.

Hopefully this time my explanation gets through...

Imagine we had an electric piston in space, with infinite energy from solar power. Now, do you agree that if we extend the piston, the base and the piston rod will both move in opposite directions?
Explain about this electric piston and base? what do you mean by base?
It is simple. We have a box or something housing the piston rod, this housing is what I call the base. The piston rod is, well, the rod being pushed out of the housing. It is electrically driven, as it will make my explanation easier later on. Is it clear enough?
Is the piston attached to the box?...explain it all because you're not making sense.

I'll help you out.
There is a box. Now tell me about your electrically driven piston inside this box and how the piston works in that box.
*sigh* I don't know why it's this hard to understand:

Well...
Ever seen FAIL videos where people get slammed in the face by the gun after firing a shot? That's caused by conservation of momentum.

The force that the explosion used on the bullet has an equal and opposite reaction force back towards the gun.

That's why the gum slams back.

The same CoM applies in vacuum where if you fire a bullet, you would physically be pushed back because you are not attached to anything, so the movement will actually be more significant in space.
Imagine the gas rocket as a huge gun firing trillions of gas particles into space, although each pushes the spaceship the opposite direction a tiny amount, together they make it move.

(And yes I know guns don't work in space cuz there's no oxygen and explosion and stuff, but I'm just using it as an example.)

EDIT:
Actually guns can work in space cuz they come with their own oxydiser, as it turns out ;)

Now, imagine that on this housing we had an automated piece of machinery that, after the piston has extended, could weld an extra piece to the piston so it could extend further. This would also push the housing further, although as it is more massive it won't be pushed as much. Doesn't sound impossible, right? Then, imagine that we also had a piece of machinery that could melt down material from a reserve and mold it into new pieces, that could be welded onto the piston. So we can extend the piston really far now, but the housing is pretty heavy when it is fully loaded so it won't get pushed far. But, as it get's emptied and the piston gets more massive, it will start being pushed more, right?

Regardless of what you've said, you are  not moving anywhere except against each object.

You still do not have any leverage but you can't seem to see that.

Think about it really carefully and clearly.
Down on the ground, in atmosphere, every push has leverage and your body has useful mass to use in moving an object due to that mass having leverage with either, the ground by use of feet or by atmospheric pressure upon that body's mass, also creating a leverage.

Now think carefully about what I'm about to explain.

If you were to run at a sumo wrestler, you would be using the ground and your feet, plus body muscles aided by atmosphere to charge at that wrestler.
Once you hit that wrestler, you will maybe slightly move him but you will probably be absorbed by his bulk/mass and then catapulted back because his feet and mass that is clamped to the ground by atmospheric pressure upon his mass, is his leverage against your mass thrown at him.

If you were standing in front of each other and used your arms to push each other away, then you would be the one that was pushed away.

Now take that into your vacuum of space, or near vacuum as we are told.
In that space, assuming you could live happily floating, or how the silly scientists depict it, you have body mass each but it means nothing.
You are no different than the sumo in what you can do against him or he can do against you. Only the look is different.

So take a run at the sumo now and what happens?
The sensible thought is: you can run. You can't move , except to move your arms and feet; flapping them about with no movement in any direction gained.
Same goes for sumo man.

So what about if you were both face to face with bent elbows, palm to palm with each other.

Ok, you can now push off each other, right?
Wrong.

Remember, nobody's mass has any gain because there are no leverage points in your space for either person to create a resistant force against the other.

All you both have, are bent arms ready to push against each other, but as I've explained, your mass and his are meaningless in the nothingness of your space.

So you push against him and he pushes against you. What you see are both of your arms outstretching and that's your lot.
You end up fingertip to fingertip with no more movement because the only leverage you both has was counteracting both your bodies.

Now you can sit and argue that mass is relevant in your space and give out all kinds of magical reasons, but you common sense should really kick in and realise how silly it all is and how silly space actually is.

You should come to the conclusion that rockets to space are not feasible, so something else must be happening. Make your own mind up ... or, you stick to your space rockets and such. It means nothing to me because what I'm typing here is for the benefit of those who can actually think for themselves.

Are you suggesting that if you and a sumo kicked away from each other as hard as you possibly could the both of you would instantly stop moving away from each other as you lost physical contact?

So if I shot a bullet in space, would the bullet go from 600m/s to 0m/s the instant it left the barrel?

This is neither intuitive or correct according to all of physics.

You can't push hard or soft in your space. You have no leverage to do so. You go nowhere.

If you had your hands on a wall and pushed against that wall, you would push yourself backwards, because that wall creates a barrier for you. A immovable barrier.
If that wall was on wheels, it would create a barrier but a move-able one yet it would create a resistance to your push due to it's mass that is acted on it by atmospheric pressure.

Put that wall in space and do it and all you do is push yourself back by your own arms in exact unison with pushing the wall in the opposite direction.
The problem is, there's no effort gained either way.
You have no leverage to push the wall into space, nor has the wall any resistance to allow you to propel yourself backwards with your arm push.
It's a stale mate. You end up touching the wall with your finger tips and cannot do anything else.

As for your gun. It simply wouldn't work.

Your body is being squeezed. All objects are. They are being squeezed by atmospheric pressure upon the mass.

Basically it's denpressure but we won't argue that point, we will stick to nothing working in the space that people are told about.

First of all by definition pressure acts upon a surface.

Second if denpressure is the same thing thebigone was talking about it is nonsense.

Nope, an object at rest will stay at rest untill a force is applied. You might call it a resistance to acceleration but a physicist would never accept that.

Which way? Anyways, can you just agree with this:
Just get on with it,, or don't. Either way is fine by me.
Imagine that there is a piston in space that function like I told you earlier. Now, if we extend this piston, both the piston base and the piston rod will move apart from each other, right?
I don't  know what you mean by piston base.

Fully describe what you're saying so it becomes clear.

I posted a fucking picture. Look at it.
http://pasteboard.co/2Cyeg83S.png (http://pasteboard.co/2Cyeg83S.png)
Ok, so the electric motors push the piston and the housing apart from each other.
Ok fair enough, now what?
Now, imagine that on this housing we had an automated piece of machinery that, after the piston has extended, could weld an extra piece to the piston so it could extend further. This would also push the housing further, although as it is more massive it won't be pushed as much. Doesn't sound impossible, right? Then, imagine that we also had a piece of machinery that could melt down material from a reserve and mold it into new pieces, that could be welded onto the piston. So we can extend the piston really far now, but the housing is pretty heavy when it is fully loaded so it won't get pushed far. But, as it get's emptied and the piston gets more massive, it will start being pushed more, right?
It is crucial to my analogy, and I swear that when I am DONE with the analogy it will make sense. I just want to make sure I do not loose you on the way. If I write the whole analogy at once you might say that it is BS but not specify where, which is why I do this. So, can you please stop struggling and just follow with the discussion in a proper manner?

I'm not interested what a physicist accepts. I've explained it correctly in what supposedly inertia is, only my words are rejected because they don't fit the criteria.

Let's use your saying though so we don't get mixed up.

In your space we have two objects touching each other, at rest.
Now you need to apply force to the object and that object has to resist that force.

For this to happen,, there has to be some kind of leverage and your space provides absolutely none.
If you were to push a car on the ground you have the leverage of your feet and hands, plus body to force the car along the road.
Hang you from a rope and try to push that car and you find that all you can do it outstretch your arms and that's it.
You still have the push on that rope and your body against the mass of the car but in space, you have none of this.

You need leverage from somewhere in space. Where is that leverage coming from?
Your inertia is nullified.
Title: Re: People on skateboards.
Post by: sircool on December 08, 2015, 05:14:30 AM
No it does not resist that force, the energy from the force gets converted into acceleration. Also Inertia is a concept is phyics so if you dont want phyics, I'm afraid I can't explain Inertia with ferries and magic...Sorry

To show u that u don't need what u call leverage to exert a force, inertia still permits to have a force without a leverage.

How will the egg start spinning again if a force is not exerted between the egg and the liquid inside it?

Let's use a bowl half full of water on a turntable, turning fairly fast.
Because the bowl is a solid and the water is a liquid, the bowl will spin faster than the water. Basically the bowl will create a friction between it and the water.

Once you stop that turntable, you still have a catch up of spinning water which would start to wobble the bowl as the bowls side acts as a brake to stop it.
In the egg you have two things happening but I think it will get lost on you by me describing it, because you have no intention of wanting to grasp it.
You're too focused on the nah nah nee nah nah attitude like most of you people are.

If you were to hang these in the air and look at them, then it would appears that both were going in opposite directions.

Because the bowl is a solid and the water is a liquid, the bowl will spin faster than the water. Basically the bowl will create a friction between it and the water.

Once you stop that turntable, you still have a catch up of spinning water which would start to wobble the bowl as the bowls side acts as a brake to stop it.
In the egg you have two things happening but I think it will get lost on you by me describing it, because you have no intention of wanting to grasp it.
You're too focused on the nah nah nee nah nah attitude like most of you people are.

If u stop and the release the turntable it will start spinning again. That's because the water which is still spinning makes the bowl to spin and then the bowl makes the turn table to spin cause they are attached.

But to make the bowl spin u need a force... Only thing able to create that force is the spinning water... I see inertia and friction, no leverage but yet a force. How come?

Is got to do with inertia..even though maybe the egg would be too viscous to show the effect. With a ball full of water it should works fine
I agree and it still stands. What has this to do with space?

To show u that u don't need what u call leverage to exert a force, inertia still permits to have a force without a leverage.

Correct the turntable will spin. I just assumed you would grasp that when I mention the wobbling bowl.

You should also grasp centrifugal force in the right context of how it works. Clue: it has a lot to do with atmospheric pressures , low v high.

Atmospheric pressure? Yet again? Please stop putting it everywhere. It has nothing to do with the bowl and spinning water... That's just viscosity and inertia

Either way guys, guns in space, atmospheric pressure... Inertia will solve this problem. If you fart in space, accelerate you will. Stop being such a bunch of Mormons.
Any chance of explaining how your inertia works?
Resistance to energy and movement isn't it?
Tell me about it.
No. Resistance to movement is called friction. 

Inertia is described by Newton's first law (an object at rest or in motion tends to stay at rest or in motion unless acted upon by another force).

So inertia is something at rest and that's that. Not really worth mentioning is it, unless it's actually acted upon, which means it resists the force to move by friction against its  mass.

That's part of it.  It's more like something keeps doing whatever it's doing unless another force tells it to do something different.

Not really worth mentioning is it, unless it's actually acted upon, which means it resists the force to move by friction against its  mass.
No.  Friction is a force, inertia is a property.  The force of friction must be overcome before an object's inertia can be affected.

If that isn't the rant of someone who knows he lost, I don't know what is!
Is it maybe possible that all this "sock-puppeting" is simply that we globe earthe supporters (more or less) agree on one basic heliocentric globe model.
The FEers do not seem to have a single map the gives correct shapes and spacings of continents. 
Someone pipes up and says that's not the map!  But never comes up with the right one.
Then we find it should be the bi-polar flat map (some FEers seem to finally there really might be a south pole),
but then we get the DFT or DUT or something that relies on magic aether, again I guess because someone else heard "Yes, Virginia!  There really IS a South Pole".  Yes, I know these efforts are to shore up obvious flaws in the simple FE model.
I am sure I have seen someone VERY high up in the FES say the satellites can be fitted into the FE (BUT, I could have misread that!).
Then some Charley says that South Africa is much CLOSER to Australia than the Globe indicates!  Yet, from what I can see of the FE map (you know - the UN one, the Gleason one, the North Polar Azimuthal Equidistant Projection - of the GLOBE) South Africa is much further from Australia than the Globe indicates.

As well as the map problem, there seems to be a little problem of some gravity!  Is it UA?  no, maybe that's stupid!  It it "denspressure" whatever that is - mind you there seem to be numerous little problems with that.  Then we are told that we use Einstein's General Relativity now!  Sure, but it's a bit complicated when doing simple problems - ones where poor old Newton's ideas work quite well.

Then getting back to this OP, where it seems that anyone that believes rockets can work under "extremely low pressure" (loosely called a vacuum) are "satanic sci-fi cultists ..... too satanically brainwashed .... psychos!" etc, etc.
Now, that is a wonderful way to start a rational discussion - I don't think.

No, the FEers are certainly not "sock puppets", some (who they are we all can all guess) have not the faintest ideas of basic physical laws.  Others seem to twist those laws to fit their own ideas.  These FEers certainly don't read from the same book.
I think Papa Legba has effectively shut off any chance of any rational discussion and does himself no credit.

Rowbotham published his "The Earth is not a Globe" some 130 odd years ago and while I do not agree with any of it he was more consistent that the mish-mash of ideas we see from the FES now. 

Maybe FEers should decide among themselves just what ideas they will support, after all numerous holes have been found in the hypotheses they put forward.  After they have a rational model then open it for discussion.  Possibly close off (yes ban somehow) non-FE supporters (like me) from actaully posting in a couple of forums, maybe "Flat Earth Q&A" and "Flat Earth Believers", so that these can contain only "approved" FE material - maps, accepted theories etc.

Maybe I am just spouting rubbish, but I am trying to be a little bit constructive here.

You guys crack me up, seriously...

'Self-identifying as a flat earther' - LOL!!!

Wtf is wrong with you all?

Anyhoo; here is some info for people who are not violently insane or shilling for fantasy 'shpayzze-travvul'...

Enjoy!

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank is open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by all the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...

Sucks to be you; sucks like a vacuum in fact.

And this too:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank is open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by all the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...

Sucks to be you; sucks like a vacuum in fact.

Vacuums do not suck. How could they?
When a gas is exposed to a vacuum it nothing changes other than the fact that there is no pressure or interchange of mass from the vacuum.
If you actually understood how fluids behaved you would understand this.

The gas is the combustion chamber cannot exit as quickly as more gas is injected, therefore pressure increases. Not complicated.


You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Fuel, oxidiser and combustion products are all mass B

Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Minor detail but Fluid Mechanics is simply the study of how many solid particles behave globally. The models are simplified by using continuum assumptions. by removing the assumptions you actually return to what is effectively solid mechanics, but this is not used because it is incredibly complicated.

I know 'rabinoz' is 'rab downunder'...
So, you know that, so what?

Now in post that you rant on and on about about how a rocket cannot work in a vacuum, you did not attempt to answer my simple question, so I repeat a bit:
The static thrust expression for a rocket contains two terms:
1) mass flow rate term "(mass flow rate) x (exhaust velocity)" term and the
2) pressure difference term (exhaust pressure - ambient pressure) x (area of exhaust nozzle).

So, since we keep getting more thrust as the ambient pressure falls, at what point does the ambient pressure "magically" turn into a "vacuum" and suddenly make the rocket fail completely!
At sea level the atmospheric pressure is 1 atm.  Does a rocket continue to work till:
 at 10,000 m about 0.240 atm,
 at 20,000 m about 0.057 atm,             (no doubt it works here)
 at 50,000 m about 0.00079 atm,         (pretty sure it works here )
    at 100 km about 6.25e-7 atm,          (pretty sure it works here )
    at 200 km about 3.90e-13 atm and  (should work here - V2 rockets could reach over 300 km when fired straight up)
    at 500 km about 9.53e-32 atm.
remember, the thrust keeps INCREASING as the ambient pressure falls.
So, PLEASE answer this:  where is the magic point where the rocket engine "suddenly" fails to work? 

BTW A vacuum cannot SUCK anything out and IN the combustion chamber and nozzle we do not have a vacuum.

I recommend that Papa Legba brush up on Mass Flow.
Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow
Mass flow, also known as mass transfer and bulk flow, is the movement of material matter. In physics, mass flow occurs in open systems and is often measured as occurring when moving across a certain boundary characterized by its cross-sectional area and a flow rate. In engineering and biology it may also be a flow of fluids in a tube or vessel of a certain diameter.

First of all, that is not what free expansion says.  Free expansion says that the total work done is zero once equilibrium has been achieved.  Work can be, and is done while the gas is flowing from high pressure to low pressure.

Secondly, if the gas has mass and velocity as it leaves the combustion chamber (regardless of whether it was the product of combustion or not), that means that the gas has momentum which must be conserved with the rocket system that it's leaving.  You do understand conservation of momentum, don't you?  If not, maybe one of your 'engineer' buddies can explain it to you.

But the gas is doing Zero work, as there is Zero resistance to it's motion.

So of course the momentum of the gas is conserved; because it's transferring Zero work between itself & the rocket...

the gas has momentum which must be conserved with the rocket system that it's leaving.

Incorrect.  The fact that a mass is moving from the storage tank to the combustion chamber under pressure means that work is being done.

So of course the momentum of the gas is conserved; because it's transferring Zero work between itself & the rocket..
Work and momentum are not the same thing.

It is simply Expanding, Freely, into the Zero-pressure vacuum of 'space'!
Actually, it's expanding into the combustion chamber first, then it expands into space.  Or are you saying that gas does not expand to fill all available space (like an evacuated chamber in between the fuel supply and outer space)?

How many Zeros do we need to add up here before you will finally comprehend that YOU CANNOT GET SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING?
I'm not saying that you can.  It's just that you keep looking where the work isn't being done and keep missing where the work is being done.

No; the gas simply uses the energy it had already stored through being pressurised to expand, freely, into the Zero-pressure vacuum.

But as it meets Zero resistance on the way, it does Zero work.

And, of course, any momentum it already had would therefore be conserved.

You lot really do need to stop molesting the laws of physics  & just admit that a gas will do Zero work in a vacuum.

I am so glad that you are getting such a laugh at this, but do you know what an "equation" is?  In case you had not heard it lets you calculate things when you know the variables involved.  You might them useful at times - just ask "The Engineer", he knows all about them and has only ever made ONE mistake!

So FORGET about a vacuum (it's nothing anyway).  The well accepted static thrust equation for a rocket is
T = m.Ve + (Pe - Po).Ae 
where T is static thrust,                               (in N - pretty small, so you'll get a lot of them)
where m is mass flow,                                 (in kg/sec)
Ve is exhaust velocity,               (in m/sec)
Pe is exhaust pressure,              (in Pascals - though it's a tiny unit being 1N/m2)
Po is ambient pressure ,            (in Pascals - though it's a tiny unit being 1N/m2)
Ae is the exhaust area.              (in m2)

If you don't accept this as giving us the static thrust of the rocket, either give us the correct one or just say you know nothing about rockets.

As the ambient pressure falls the static thrust rises.  Actually for a well designed nozzle the"pressure difference" term should be small, but it is always there.
So, I ask again at what ambient pressure does this rocket suddenly stop working?  And WHY?

Or well-respected physicists plainly stating that NASA's 'thrust equation' using F=m*v is 'erroneous' & cannot be applied in the manner intended.

It's all out there, should you wish to find it...

Because all intelligent people know NASA are full of shit; that's why the E.U. quietly teaches its children correct physics; the bright ones will get it, whilst the ignorant ones will not.

I don't know the credibility of those sources and BTW EU projects are not good example of "well used money", because usually materials create people that are interested in "earning the money" and not interested in the field that project is about (usually people that understand the topic and people working on the topic for "EU project", are 2 different groups :( ).

 but lets look on jet engine from physical point


Air that goes THRU engine (actually sucked from front of engine) is pushed behind the engine and that push produces force in oposit direction. 

The article you provide is not well written and it tries to say that when you take an air from front of engine and put that air behind that engine, you will have lower pressure in front of engine and high pressure behind that engine (you take air from front and added it to air behind engine)... that difference of pressures will have some pushing effect on objects between that low pressure location and high pressure location (sucking effect from front and pushing effect from behind) ... for low velocity that force may be somehow important, but it is too ineffective, because the sucking and pushing efect is in all direction, not just in direction you wanna to use (this force is applied not just against engine but in all directions from "locations").  "pressure push" is there, thats true, but I think is not significant, and more importantly is too uneffective way to move an airplane (actually if you use this principle in enclosed environment with huge pressure difference, like in a gun barrel + bullet,  this difference in pressure have huge "pushing effect", but this is not the case for open environment).
So push against atmosphere behind engine is not significant effective way that will enable you to fly.



What is important for jet engine is that you speedup huge amount of air in closed system (inside engine) and then trow that air behind engine (and according to 3th Newton law of motion, it will "produce" the same amount of force in opposite direction).

Speaking about rocket engine in the space, the situation is little different.
Bit negative effect in the atmosphere:
   3th Newton law motion applied in the atmosphere will tell you, that air that is in front of your airplane take airplanes movement energy (because airplane is hitting steady air molecules and impart move energy to them (actually another part of movement energy is transformed to heat that is produced by this "impact").... that's reason why airplane must be aerodynamic, to minimize imparted energy).... so in atmosphere your jet engines must produce enough energy to "speedup the plane" and more importantly to equilibrate the lost movement energy that airplane imparted to air around that airplane.

    This effect is not in vacuum -> you need engine just to speedup the craft or to stop it... not to "continue moving".  Engine don't need so much medium to work with (medium = air/gas/whatever you decide to throw from closed system to outside).


Negative effect in the space
   In atmosphere you had something that you were able to take from outside, speedup it in closed system and throw behind the airplane (you had air)... in vacuum you must have all "throw-able things" already in the closed system (there is nothing around you to take and throw. Space ships must throw just things they already have. To work effectively, you must have
A) huge mass of throw-able things (this is not good, because you need energy to transport that throw-able things from Earth into space).
B) throw things very fast... One way to do so is to take some liquid, heat it so it expands (you produce pressure) and throw it from closed system as fast as is manageable in opposite direction needed force to be applied :).


========================
The article states: backward push produced the equivalent in forward thrust.

Information about "pushing the atmosphere" is nice, but irrelevant to jet engine principle...  (and I agree that it may be misleading, that it somehow have something to do with jet engine principle.)

The article doesn't tell anything like "atmosphere push engine forward".

=================

The EU project... well you already know my opinion about EU projects (I worked as an scientist on university I saw many results of "EU projects" from different countries... but if ask them "how you dare to present this as an result of project" they respond with "well we did best we can,we produced XXX pages of materials, we buy XXX pencils aso... so required and monitored parameters were fulfilled.". If you continue to ask about quality of that materials, they will tell you "Quality of that materials is not part of monitoring, its a matter of "responsible person""). So yes... EU project result is much less trustful even compared to wikipedia where people at least may change a mistake in text.

==================

PS: sorry for my English... I hope that is it understandable.

Do you know what potential energy is?...of course you do. It when something has had energy applied to it and hasn't had  that energy returned as of yet, so the potential energy is there to be used.

Your rocket gas tank is such a thing. It was filled by using a lot of energy and that energy is FORCED into that tank.
That tank whilst sealed, holds potential energy or that force waiting to be unleashed.
Once that tank is opened, then that compressed energy in your so called space would be released against zero return pressure because your resistant force is non existent in your near vacuum which means that your gas FREELY expands into it and doing no work at all, apart from against itself by expanding against itself and decompressing to equalise the environment it has been opened to, which is?....ZERO PRESSURE.

They all work mostly on the same principle. A ion enters an electric or magnetic field and is deflected depending on it's mass. A detector at the end picks it up. If atoms were everywhere expanded, this would not work. You could not see individual atoms.

The results they produce everyday show they work.

That article doesn't claim what you think it claims. It does not say the exhaust pushes off the atmosphere, it says pushing against the atmosphere.
As we already went over this multiple times, there is no way for the atmosphere to impart a force on the rocket or in this case, the engine. An exhaust molecule hitting an air molecule cannot transfer a force back to the engine. You need to understand this.

Pressure-volume work applies for work done in a closed system, such as gas in a piston.  It is not relevant to an open system like a rocket in space.

I'm saying that you Lied about what sceptimatic wrote, dyslexia-boy.

Because you did.

& everyone knows it.

Now read this:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Am i correct in saying that vacuum can take out all the gas from an open chamber instantly?
No matter the dimension of the hole
The vacuum doesn't take anything out.

I'll explain it, assuming your vacuum of space, or near vacuum as you prefer. Let's call it super low pressure.

We are going to go for opposites here just so you can understand how fast gases move into low pressure to fill the void, or try to.

We will start off with a glass thermos flask.
If you knock the welded glass bobble off your thermos, meaning you open up a SMALL hole, you hear a very sharp psst which takes about half a second or less.
What has  happened is the atmospheric sea level pressure has entered the low pressure area inside that thermos.

I want  you to think about this because it's relevant to what would happen in your low pressure space environment only the opposite way round and with your space being a massive area  for your gas to enter after it's released from your sealed tank to your supposed combustion chamber, because once it leaves that tank it it open to that low pressure area you call space.

It would pass go and not collect the 200, or to put it simpler; the gas would pass right through the combustion chamber and (as good as) freely expand into that low pressure HUGE area of space, encountering no resistance as it expands out into your space.
The only resistance to free expansion before it leaves the rocket nozzle is when it travels through restrictive pipes to reach that nozzle.
The thing is, even those pipes offer little resistance because there is nothing pushing back into the rocket as gases leave it, like there would be  at lift off on earth, which is why you cannot have free expansion and will encounter a resistance which is good old atmospheric pressure against the ejected gas.

On Earth you get ejected BURNING gas and in your space you get close to free expansion of that gas with almost immediate effect and no burning evident because for something to burn it has to meet a resistance.

The very simple way is to figure out why a candle goes out when placed in a jar. For the very same reason it would in a rocket if it was subject to extremely low pressure.

LOL!!!

Here's a post where you didn't even understand the meaning of the term 'evacuated':

I mean; look at this garbage:

Quote
Free expansion is an irreversible process in which a gas expands into an insulated evacuated chamber. It is also called Joule expansion.

It is not that gas cannot do work in a vacuum. It is that gas does no work when expanding into an evacuated chamber because all of the effect net to zero.

What, exactly, is in that 'evacuated chamber' that the gas does no work whilst expanding into?

Could it be a vacuum?

Why yes; yes it IS a vacuum.

Thus, mainframes completely contradicts himself in one sentence!

& what 'because all of the net effect to zero' means is anybody's guess...

He does this all the time, yet expects us to believe he has a masters in science...

LOL!!!

Cool story bro...

So you don't feel the need to support your outlandish claims with evidence?  Got it.

You're the crank who's arguing for the creation of pressure within an infinite vacuum.
Nope.  Just within a finite combustion chamber.

You're the crank who's arguing that it's possible to push on nothing.
Nope.  No matter how many times you say it, that isn't what I'm claiming.

You're the crank who can't distinguish between One object & Two objects.
Of course I can.  You're the one who can't seem to tell the difference between one system and the various objects that make up that system.

Do your own homework, crank.
I have.  Every time I look up free expansion and pressure-volume work, I find that they relate to closed systems such as gas in a piston.

Oxygen in the jar reacts with carbon and hydrogen in the candle wax to form carbon dioxide and water. When the is no more free molecular oxygen the combustion reaction ceases and the flame goes out.

Let's go over the facts again:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.
Correct.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.
Incorrect.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.
Whatever happened to the property of gasses expanding to fill the space available as it's moving through the combustion chamber?  How does the mass of the gas accelerate from zero in the tank to the speed of free expansion?  Do you understand that there is a difference between work being done by the gas and work being done on the gas?  Did you know that gas is a fluid that has viscosity and therefore it provides a certain amount of resistance to its own movement?

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.
Sure.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...
Except that you keep ignoring inconvenient laws of physics like mass flow and all 3 of Newton's laws of motion.

Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.
That's because it is.

Here is why it is not:
Oh no, here we go again.  ::)

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?
Are you saying that the propellant isn't an object?  ???

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.
No, you fail to recognize it.  I'll give you a hint, it's the combustion gasses produced by burning the propellant.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?
Yes, we do.

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.
Yes, the combustion gasses produced by burning the propellant.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.
False dichotomy.  You fail to consider the possibility that the rocket can supply its own reaction mass in the form of propellant.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.
Q.E.D.
Nope.  Incorrect conclusion from a faulty premise.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.
No one is saying that you can.

No maths required; only common sense.
What's wrong, are you afraid of math?  You'd be surprised at how much physics disagrees with common sense once you do the math.

Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...
Fluid Mechanics includes Mass Flow, which you keep saying doesn't apply.  Make up your mind, will you?

What I find so laughable in all this is that poor Papa is left to carry the can. 
Pity there was not someone that does not have some sort of OCD when it comes to OBJECT B.

Every authority, essentially from Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (he omits the pressure difference term) on seems to be able to calculate the static thrust of a rocket, and seem to get the same result - except Papa, who lost his object B.  There was obviously NO link between these and NASA (no NASA!).
The basic thrust equation is written as
(http://www.braeunig.us/space/pics/eq1-06.gif)
Where,
F =
static thrust (in N)
q =
mass flow (in kg/s)
Ve =
exhaust velocity (in m/s)
Pe =
exhaust pressure (in Pa/m^2)
Pa =
Ambient Pressure (in Pa/m^2)
Ae =
Exhaust area (in m^2)
Yes, I am harping on this simple equation because Papa Legba will not refute it, yet cannot say why the thrust of the rocket should fail as the ambient pressure falls towards zero!
A vacuum is NOT in some way magic.  It cannot suck anything out of the rocket.  The flow rate is determined by the nozzle characterictics and pressure differences.  Bernoulli might have a bit to say on this matter.  Look up a few references on "Choked Flow" - Choked flow is a compressible flow effect. The parameter that becomes "choked" or "limited" is the fluid velocity.

This argument is all about Object B; without it, your rockets are going nowhere.

As for convergent/divergent nozzles; fortunately for us, genuine engineers have to use them, for turbines etc, so the facts of their operation cannot be twisted & obscured by NASA pseudo-science.

And one of the facts of their operation is that they require back-pressure in order to work, a thing that cannot be achieved in an infinite vacuum.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.
No one is saying that you can.

LOL!!!

Actually you all are; hence your insane claims that the rocket's own fuel mass is somehow Object B, and a rocket somehow 'pushes on itself' (lol!).

I suggest that you take your own advice and study up on Mass Flow as it applies to Fluid Dynamics.

If the Recoil Principle alone were the explanation for how rockets function, then the reaction mass needed for a rocket to travel any distance would approach Infinite...

Which doesn't seem very practical, does it?

NO, you say a rocket cannot work in a vacuum, but
You still have NOT answered this simple question!  At what ambient pressure does a rocket fail to work?
If you understand rockets so well you should have no difficulty answereing that one.
BTW Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was hardly influenced by NASA, he DIED in 1935, yet his simplified rocket equation was
F = q.Ve  where:
F =
static thrust (in N)
q =
mass flow (in kg/s)
Ve =
exhaust velocity (in m/s)
Ambient pressure does not even come into it!

You say "Well, I guess that'd depend on the nozzle design, wouldn't it"  Well, no it does NOT!
You still cannot answer a simple question.  A rocket nozzle does not need to be "optimum" to work at low pressures.  The equation I gave you showed that the static thrust increases as the pressure decreases!  The rocket obviously does work at normal air pressure, so at what air pressure does it stop working?  Simple question, simple answer.

BTW when you design your next rocket nozzle don't try to make it "optimum" for a very low pressure.  It might theoretically give the best "specific impulse" for the fuel, but the nozzle will be excessively large and heavy!  It is "optimum" in that one respect only, but not the best design.  On second thoughts, papa, please do not design a rocket nozzle!

You seem to have NASA on the brain.   Konstantin Tsiolkovsky knew that rockets did not depend on air pressure, and he died 23 years before NASA.  NASA did not invent rockets, much of the work was done well before they came around!

 Why would looking at YouTube and replying make me a "lurky/stalky youtube troller Rab Downunder." any more than you are?

Yes, I read your posts, they just say a rocket cannot function in a vacuum, and give no sound reasons - look up "choked flow"!
No, I would no accuse the EU or Popular Mechanics (BTW what issue?) or lying!  This stuff is written by journalists!  I guess you have seen how they can mangle things - with the best of intentions.
You claim "Instant Fail from the man voted 'most blocked youtube troll 2015'".  But,
1) Probably correct since the number of voters is only ONE, dear papa!
2) I have not yet been blocked on Youtube (that I know or care about).

Just what sort of response to you expect to get with your OP:
"Here is a thread for satanic sci-fi cultists to post photos/videos of people on skateboards that they think somehow prove that rockets will function in a vacuum.
Newton, Joules & Thomson will be spinning in their graves at such nonsense, but I guess these cultists are too satanically brainwashed to comprehend how basic scientific principles work...
Whatever; knock yourselves out, psychos!"
So "Because I'm not a flat earther. Nor am I a raown derfer.", what does that leave, maybe its a dodecahedron? - each face is a pentagon, should be significant!

New definitions: Liar - anyone disagreeing with Papa!  satanic sci-fi cultists - anyone disagreeing with Papa!
But you still have NEVER answered the basic question! 
To put into perspective:
"On July 17, 1962, American test pilot Robert White took the X-15 to an altitude of 314,688 feet. But it’s Russian pilot Alexandr Fedotov who holds the world altitude record, set on August 31, 1977, when his MiG E-266M reached a mere 123,523 feet." from http://www.airspacemag.com/need-to-know/who-holds-the-altitude-record-for-an-airplane-141522931/?no-ist (http://www.airspacemag.com/need-to-know/who-holds-the-altitude-record-for-an-airplane-141522931/?no-ist)
The SR-71A "Blackbird" had a service ceiling of "over" 85,000 ft, so its jet engines work there.
AltitudePressure
0 ft
1013.25 mbar
85,000 ft
25.05 mbar
SR-71A service ceiling
123,523 ft
4.68 mbar
MiG E-266M record jet plane
314,000 ft
0.00117 mbar
X-15 record winged rocket plane

So at which altitude does the rocket stop working - some magic going on! 
BTW I am NOT asking about a REAL vacuum, just extremely low air pressure!  So get your log rules or slide tables out and work it out.

Except for pompously replying to your own pompous posts, throwing a dozen half-baked ideas round in the hope readers don't notice they're all blather, grovelling to the mods & generally showing us all how you gained your coveted 'most blocked youtube troll' title, that is?

Anyhoo, at least when you say this:

So at which altitude does the rocket stop working

You are acknowledging that they DO stop working when atmospheric pressure is low enough...

That's a start!

But when you say this:

look up "choked flow"!

I am most disappointed, as we have already established that 'choked flow', or convergent/divergent, nozzles, require back-pressure in order to function.

And you cannot achieve back-pressure in a vacuum.

Toodle-pip, strange Australian...

Maybe he gave good advice.

Maybe you're trying to lick his arse so that he locks yet another thread full of evidence of space-fraud?

You know; like this:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Not at all, just waiting patiently for a simple answer (pressure or altitude will do)!
But when you say this:
look up "choked flow"!
I am most disappointed, as we have already established that 'choked flow', or convergent/divergent, nozzles, require back-pressure in order to function.
Now just how did you work out that "'choked flow', or convergent/divergent, nozzles, require back-pressure in order to function."?
Any work I have studied on that indicates that they certainly do not need any back pressure to work perfectly!  In fact that is a good choice for simple nozzle that works well over a wide range of pressure - even down to zero..  Simply design it to be somewhat over expanded at sea level.
So still waiting patiently for a simple answer (pressure or altitude will do)!
I am starting to think that you have not the slightest idea.  Try a bit of research, or phone a friend!

In the case of upstream air pressure at atmospheric pressure and vacuum conditions downstream of an orifice, both the air velocity and the mass flow rate becomes choked or limited when sonic velocity is reached through the orifice.

OK,  I was going to keep away from this, but I can't have Luckyfred blamed for my "indisgression"! I blamed journalists for claiming that jet engines "push on the air" when they are really "reaction" devices!
My whole point was that I would not really expect to get 100% accurate scientific information from either Popular Mechanics or some information sheet for school children - I have seen enough of how writers can, with the best of intentions, distort information.  I would not be too critical of them, they may be much better trained than say newspaper journalists, but they are not always highly knowledgeable in all the wide range of topics they have to write about.

I would rather trust MIT or some institution like that than these "popular" publications, even though they do make interesting reading.  Papa legba will of course ask if I think they are liars, well no I definitely do not!

My other point has been that I have been vainly trying to get papa legba to indicate just how high we have to go for a rocket to "suddenly" fail!
It can't be below 85,000 ft (air pressure 25.05 mbar) as this is the service ceiling of the SR-71A, so a jet engine works here.
I doubt it can be below 123,523 ft (air pressure 4.68 mbar) as the MiG E-266M jet plane has flown that high.
What about 314,000 ft (air pressure 0.00117 mbar)? The X-15, a  winged rocket plane, has reached this altitude.
Are we there yet?  So, does a rocket work at 300,000 ft - almost the "edge of space"?

A simple yes or no on that point would be a start.

PS I have not mentioned the "v" word.  BTW, even at the 100 km altitude of the Kαrmαn line, we do not strictly have a "you know what".

'Indisgression' & 'Indiscretion' are two different words, in case you haven't noticed...

Wtf is wrong with you?

And markjo; are you saying that rockets contain no propellant?

Or is the simple principle of the release of energy through Contraction & Expansion simply beyond you?

*Yawn!*

Lastly, I have no idea where this came from:

PS So you regard pointing out people's woeful understanding of the Globe Earth trolling. You know, the rubbish put out about planes heading into space on a globe and aircraft attitude indicators "proving" a flat earth - all simply demonstrating an abysmal understanding of how planes fly and what aircraft instruments actually do.
If you don't like it, tough cheese as they say in the classics!

I have never stated any of the above; I suggest rab downunder's brain is broken...

Perhaps we should call a WAAAAAmbulance?

At any rate, it at least helps explain how he gained his 'most-blocked youtube troll' title.

No.  I'm saying that rockets contain their own reaction mass (propellant).

Not at all.  I'm saying that the energy (propellant) can come from the reaction mass (person jumping).

Astounding!

You can't even read the very links that you provided.

You just ask me to explain them to you...

Slapstick Circle-jerk Troll-japery Intensifies!

Anyhoo; back to rockets, Newton's Laws & Free Expansion:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Oh; & Thermodynamics too - thanks for that, markjo!

P.s:

Or is the simple principle of the release of energy through Contraction & Expansion simply beyond you?
Not at all.

The mass of the man is supplying the force needed to push against the mass of the ground in the same way that the mass of the expanding propellant is supplying the force needed to push against the mass of the rocket.

Sokarul was helping you; I believe your triumphant conclusion was that a man jumping up & down was decisive proof of your radical Thesis...

Title: Re: People on skateboards.
Post by: Papa Legba on December 15, 2015, 12:00:52 AM
Here's your original statement on 'Newtonian Multitasking':

Jump up into the air.

The floor is object A

You are object B

Where is the propellant?

Yet somehow you have now arrived at this:

So, a man jumps by utilising the energy provided through the contraction & expansion of his legs against the ground.

Yes?
Yes.

And this:

Now let us look at a rocket on its launch pad, with its fuel stored inside.

Is it fair to say that this, too, is ONE object, in the same way that a man, his leg-bones, muscles, stored energy etc, are ONE object?

Answer Yes or No, thank you please!

No.

And this:

How is your statement about a man using the stored energy in his legs to push off the floor any different from my statement about one object using stored energy to push off of another object?

I don't see any logical line of reasoning here at all.

So, please define exactly what Objects A and B represent, in terms of rocketry, in your original statement above.

This may help... though I doubt it, as the Alzheimers clearly has a fearsome grip on your mental faculties.

The mass of rocket is object A, the mass of the propellant is object B and the action of burning the propellant is the energy source,

& how is the ground/rocket to keep on being not-moved once the man/fuel has left it?

There doesn't seem to be much rocket-like behaviour in your example, does there?

Of course, if you just accepted what I suggested below as being correct, we could begin to make sense of your spazzed-out analogy:

You've seen this reaction everytime you pour soda into a glass, you see the gas making efervescence, if that's the english word, and goes to the top. Everytime you shake a gassified soda can, bottle, gas that was expanding inside, tries to escape from any exit in pressure. This causes an action/reaction force. If the force is strong enough to lift the container's weight, it will make it move. That is first and third newton's laws.

Explain where it causes this action/reaction force in your world, because all you're explaining to me is exactly what you've been told about how rockets work  by expanded gases being thrown against the atmosphere and the atmosphere being compressed by the expanded gas until it springs back against it.
A lot like a person (imagine this) doing a super huge fart onto a trampoline and pushing himself up by forcing that fart against that trampoline fabric which warps because it's stretched to resistance and creates a barrier springboard for that enormous fart.
If that fart continued and that trampoline resistance followed, you would have your rocket propulsion.

There are no resistant trampolines in your space to react to action, meaning space rockets are now reclassified as non-space rockets,

Action reactions occurs between 2 objects, object A is the bottle and object B is the gas. This action/reaction of forces occurs whether there is atmosphere or not. I'm not even talking about the mechanics of where this 2 forces come from. If you do this experiment you will get that result. That same principle is used in rockets.

Post by: Papa Legba on December 15, 2015, 11:11:29 AM
Oh, and as for the goebbels sock-puppet's question, the answer is to be found in the following, if he is capable of rational thought:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Now let us look at a rocket on its launch pad, with its fuel stored inside.

Is it fair to say that this, too, is ONE object, in the same way that a man, his leg-bones, muscles, stored energy etc, are ONE object?

Answer Yes or No, thank you please!

No.

So you agreed the man IS one object, but said the rocket is NOT...

Seems a thing can only be viewed as a single system when markjo says so; hypocrite much?

Or is it the Alzheimers makes you forget you say these things?

Of course, a rocket with its fuel inside IS one object, in the exact same way as a man is, and they both use stored energy inside them to create a Force against a second, external, Object in order to move.

In the case of the rocket, this external Object is the atmosphere through which it moves.

There; that wasn't hard, was it, old man?

Correct.  In the context of action/reaction pairings, the rocket is one object and the propellant is another object, just like a glass is one object and the beer within it is another object.

Seems a thing can only be viewed as a single system when markjo says so; hypocrite much?
Whether something is viewed as a single system or separate components of that system depends on the context of the analysis.  You do understand the concept of context, don't you? 

Of course, a rocket with its fuel inside IS one object, in the exact same way as a man is, and they both use stored energy inside them to create a Force against a second, external, Object in order to move.
You seem to be hung up on the word "external".  Why can't an external object come from within another object?

In the case of the rocket, this external Object is the atmosphere through which it moves.
If the rocket is pushing on the atmosphere, then how does the atmosphere push back with an equal and opposite reaction?

Well explained.

And this "time until the equilibrium is reached" would be very short due to the enormous difference of/gradient in pressure from imaginary fuel tanks in space to the 10^-16 bar vast nothingness of space near vacuum that forms the unescapable environment. Like opening an airplane door at cruise altitude but then some orders of magnitude stronger and faster.

Almost instantaneously the "gas molecules" would turn solid or superfluid (for H, He) and be dissepated into the nothingness as separate almost static (3 K temperature) molecules providing not a single bit of work at all.

You clearly have no understanding of the operation of a choked de Laval nozzle.
Just how is it that at say 128,000 ft with the pressure about 0.0038 Atm a rocket works fine, but suddenly fails at some unknown altitude above that?  The simple answer is that it does not fail!

The reason is simply that the combustion chamber (and nozzle) are NOT exposed to the extremely low outside pressure - vacuum if you like, so long as we have choked flow in the throat of the nozzle.
The "choked flow" condition in the de Laval (or convergent-divergent) nozzle is reached when the flow velocity in the throat reaches sonic speed.  The gas  expanding past the throat increases to hypersonic speeds before exiting the nozzle.
At above sonic velocities sound (or any disturbance) cannot propagate back up the gas flow from outside the nozzle into the nozzle or throat.  That is why the flow is "choked" and the mass flow rate is no longer dependent on the pressure outside the nozzle, no matter how low.
These shows the way mass flow rate depends on ambient pressure.  I'd get you the equation for (mass flow rate) ~ (ambient pressure), but I know how papa hates "NASA approved equations" - even though de Laval knew this in 1888!

I know papa legba will not take notice of someone like Robert H. Goddard, but his work did predate NASA by decades.

from: Orbital Mechanics Theory and Applications, By Tom Logsdon

The important point is that, once the choked flow condition is reached, the outside pressure, no matter how low, can have no effect on mass flow.

BTW  if you insist on your Objects A, F and B:
(1) Object A is the Rocket + unburnt fuel, Object F is the burning fuel, and Object B is the thousands of pounds of fuel being ejected out the back.
(2) The law of conservation of momentum could have told you all this right from the start - of course it was used to derive the equations.

Yes.

Then the gas will simply expand, freely, through that hole, doing no work on the way.

You clearly have no understanding of the operation of a choked de Laval nozzle.

Has your convergent/divergent nozzle got a hole in it?

Yes.

Then the gas will simply expand, freely, through that hole, doing no work on the way.

Now back to youtube with you, there must be some flat earth/rocket-fraud videos you haven't trolled yet.
Of course it has a hole in it - could be quite a big one!
You have not shown a hint of knowing anything about  what choked flow actually means, or any idea of supersonic gas flow.
And, I did ask how the de Laval nozzle worked at very low pressure, say 0.0038 Atm, but you can't even answer that. Note that 0.0038 Atm is not a vacuum so your rocket should work happily here.
I just wondered,  how come you know so much more about this stuff than de Laval himself or Robert Goddard?
Either you are one smart cookie or one big kook - which is it?

PS. I didn't notice in the law of conservation of momentum that we needed  Object A,  Object F and Object B anyway.  We just go along with that to keep you happy"!  I suppose somehow the mass of gases is excluded from "the law of conservation of momentum".  I never noticed that in "Philosophiζ Naturalis Principia Mathematica", but then my Latin is non-existent!

Pressure gradient is the same between 1 bar-vacuum and 2 bar-1bar.
Vacuum doesn't have special property, is just the absence of material
Pretty solid physical description of a vacuum.  ::)

T & P are almost zero. "Nothing special about it, you can just traverse with some propellant"

Very little. Probably only a tiny amount of pressurized propellant for course corrections.
Once you are moving in space you will need another force to stop you.
In a vacuum it is hard to find anything to stop you.

How does this voyager manage to simply float in this vacuum when gravity is pulling at it, as we are told?
How does it get into outer space away from earth's so called gravitational pull when apparently it's still being spun around it.

"Course corrections"? You just design a path on a computer, send the thingy up and then you correct the course of it, against what and how exactly?  :D

Once you are in space the only force working on you is the gravity.

That's why we couldn't get into space. Ever.

Effects of the gravity of all the planets are not calculated exactly, as everything u have a degree of approximation, u need the possibility to correct errors. U have thrusters to correct the course.
U have gravity, no drag. But u can produce thrust and once u've reached your final orbit I just need a tiny amount of energy to eventually correct the trajectory

To create thrust u need to accelerate a mass. To accelerate a mass u need energy.
A practical way to obtain these energy is through combustion which has also the advantage of providing also the mass that is going to be accelerated.
U burn the fuel, that releases energy which is used to accelerate the mass of burnt fuel thus providing thrust

You might just as well ask why you burn the gasoline in a car's engine.  Because that's how you release the energy stored in the propellant and you need energy to accelerate the combustion gasses that push against the rocket engine.

Everything must be solid or superfluid (H, He) under those conditions.

Even if this Mickey Mouse molestation of Newtons work were true, there is no work to be done; every "gas" molecule that exits the nozzle dissepates away into the vast nothingness of space as a solid, almost non-vibrating Rιmy...

Aah, the transfer orbit! Now, that's clear! And is it a bit stable, such a "transfer orbit"?

From your link:

Quote
Hohmann was influenced in part by the German science fiction author Kurd Lasswitz and his 1897 book Two Planets.

Freaky clowns.

Quote
Consider a geostationary transfer orbit, beginning at r1 = 6,678 km (altitude 300 km) and ending in a geostationary orbit with r2 = 42,164 km (altitude 35,786 km).

In the smaller circular orbit the speed is 7.73 km/s; in the larger one, 3.07 km/s. In the elliptical orbit in between the speed varies from 10.15 km/s at the perigee to 1.61 km/s at the apogee.

The Δv for the two burns are thus 10.15 − 7.73 = 2.42 and 3.07 − 1.61 = 1.46 km/s, together 3.88 km/s.

And that's it. You've done it! From 300 km to 35,000 km orbit! Defying gravity and nature, jumping orbits! Amazing.

Quote
It is interesting to note that this is greater than the Δv required for an escape orbit: 10.93 − 7.73 = 3.20 km/s. Applying a Δv at the LEO of only 0.78 km/s more (3.20−2.42) would give the rocket the escape speed, which is less than the Δv of 1.46 km/s required to circularize the geosynchronous orbit. This illustrates that at large speeds the same Δv provides more specific orbital energy, and energy increase is maximized if one spends the Δv as quickly as possible, rather than spending some, being decelerated by gravity, and then spending some more to overcome the deceleration (of course, the objective of a Hohmann transfer orbit is different).

Right. Then the -under those pressures liquid- gases mix, exit the nozzle and instantaneously turn into solid solitary molecules floating away in space.

All the work that we care about is done inside the combustion chamber.

The combustion chamber is open to the vacuum.

Therefore:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Exactly.

It is the release of the mass in 1 direction which pushes the rocket in the opposite direction. The "work is done" before the gas exits is impossible; it is the exhaust of the gas that moves a rocket, so that is the work done.

So both your closed off chamber and the balloon will not move the rocket resp. skateboard as no counterforce is created.

That moment only comes when you pop the balloon or open the nozzle to the vacuum.

So your statement that "the work is already done in the combustion chamber" cannot be correct as that would move the skateboard too.

I said nozzle.
Energy is produced in the combustion chamber, then thermal and pressure energy are partly converted into work by the nozzle.

But if u close the system all changes since the work produced by the espanding gas in the nozzle is then utilized to compress the exhausted gasses in the balloon so the total work of the system is zero.

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Oh; & Thermodynamics too - thanks for that, markjo!

Good question:

we have:
- Atmosphere - part of the skies where some pressure is there to have gases
- Space - part of the skies above that; P ~ 0

The upper part of the atmosphere, with an unknown boundary between atmosphere and space as nobody nor instruments have been there, is the thermosphere.

Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosphere) states some things quite well:

Quote
Even though the temperature is so high, one would not feel warm in the thermosphere, because it is so near vacuum that there is not enough contact with the few atoms of gas to transfer much heat.

Quote
...the energy lost by thermal radiation would exceed the energy acquired from the atmospheric gas by direct contact.

And of course is infected with such crap:

Quote
The International Space Station orbits within the middle of the thermosphere, between 330 and 435 kilometres (205 and 270 mi) (decaying by 2 km/month and raised by periodic reboosts), whereas the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer satellite at 260 kilometres (160 mi) utilized winglets [??] and an innovative ion engine to maintain a stable :D orientation and orbit.

Whoops, gravity is messing with Santa NASA, we have to correct here...

So it's a bit difficult to speak of temperature in low pressure conditions.

The value for space is set at 3 K. That may or may not be true, but does it make sense? I would say yes:

Heat is transferred either by:
- convection - needs a medium for that
- conduction - idem
- radiation

The higher you come the lower the pressure; less molecules / km2
convection: The higher you come the less thermal effects as there is less "air" to transfer this effect
conduction: will come to that
radiation: every particle receiving heat through radiation from the only source possible (the Sun) will heat up and no possibility to give off the heat due to the low pressure (explaining the thermosphere values)

I was stating that the low temperature of the vacuum would not let the rocket survive.

That is because if you imagine a rocket there (which cannot come there in the first place), it is black and white.

50% of this cilinder is heated by the Sun through radiation, and the surface of that cilinder conducts the received heat according to the thermal conductivity of the material
but 50 % of that same cilinder is in the stone cold un-radiated shadow surrounded by near vacuum...

The problem is that the material properties of the rocket (some Al-Ti-Fe-alloy) are drastically affected by its temperature itself.

Mechanical (rigidity, cohesive strength) and other material properties are affected by that temperature. The thermal conductivity itself is also depending on the temperature of the material.

Having 50% of Sun shine alloy of some 300 degrees would be ok. But how does the other side work? It would crumble away and the thermal distribution along the cilinder circumference would go nuts. It would shatter to crumbles just as you can break metals which are kept under very low temperatures easily; no rigidity anymore...

From +300 to almost -270 in the same medium made of the same material...

The materials will fail and the rocket would be shattered to space dust.

I don't understand what you mean with an "insulating effect" of a vacuum?

pressure potential energy....bernoulli's equation, static pressure represent a sort of potential energy while dynamic pressure is like a kinetical energy.

sorry but vacuum can be even a zero temperature but all bodies in our solar system are heated by the sun, so the rocket is not at zero temperature.

All the work that we care about is done inside the combustion chamber.

The combustion chamber is open to the vacuum.
Yes, it is.  However, that doesn't mean that expansion of the gas is unconstrained within the combustion chamber.  The expansion of the gas is constrained by the geometry of the chamber and the viscosity of the gas itself.

Let us again consider the 'combustion chamber' of  a rocket:
The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.
Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

When can you get the simple fact that the combustion chamber (and nozzle) are NOT exposed to the extremely low outside pressure, so long as we have choked flow in the throat of the nozzle.
The "choked flow" condition in the de Laval (or convergent-divergent) nozzle is reached when the flow velocity in the throat reaches sonic speed.  The gas  expanding past the throat increases to hypersonic speeds before exiting the nozzle.

One of the most elementary principles of supersonic flow (of which I am no expert!) is that disturbances cannot propagate back up the flow.  At sub-sonic speeds the air can flow smoothly over an object, because the disturbance caused by the obect is "signalled ahead", but once we get to supersonic speeds this cannot happen, hence the shock waves and other effects.

In the case of the choked de Laval nozzle, the gases in the combustion chamber and nozzle never feel the changes in outside pressure (hence choked) change, because we simply cannot get disturbance propagation against the supersonic gas flow - can't happen.

I'd get you the equation for (mass flow rate) ~ (ambient pressure) or (exhaust velocity) ~ (ambient pressure), but I know how papa hates "NASA approved equations" - even though de Laval knew this in 1888!  No point giving any equations or graphs, papa takes no notice.

The important point is that, once the choked flow condition is reached, the outside pressure, no matter how low, can have no effect on mass flow.

papa legba comments that the gases in the combustion could never be ignited, well:
(1) In the ascending rocket they are already ignited, so no problem unless the "fire goes out".
(2) On the ground, or under low pressure conditions ignition can be produced by starting with a hypergolic fuel and changing over to the primary fuel after ignition, as on the F-1 engine.
The law of conservation of momentum could have told you all this right from the start - of course it was used to derive the equations.

So papa the de Laval works under vacuum conditions because the combustion chambers is not exposed to the near-infinite vacuum of space, it simply does not know about it!
Of, course I might have all this wrong, so maybe papa could explain simply what the significance of the choked condition of a de Laval nozzle means.
PS I did not know you "believed in space", so what is the point of all your rantings and ravings?

Rab Downunder: I have no idea why you are still banging on about choked flow; strawman much?

Even if a convergent/divergent nozzle could prevent the vacuum entering the combustion chamber (which, when we look at the laughable design of NASA's 'shpayze-rokkit' engines such as the F2, is doubtful) it will not prevent free expansion occurring after the throat.

So no work will be done by the gas at any point in the system.

Because a vacuum is Nothing, and you can't get Something out of Nothing.

As for this:

papa legba comments that the gases in the combustion could never be ignited, well:
(1) In the ascending rocket they are already ignited, so no problem unless the "fire goes out".
(2) On the ground, or under low pressure conditions ignition can be produced by starting with a hypergolic fuel and changing over to the primary fuel after ignition, as on the F-1 engine.

... (which, when we look at the laughable design of NASA's 'shpayze-rokkit' engines such as the F2, is doubtful) it will not prevent free expansion occurring after the throat.
First of all, there is no F2 rocket engine.  You're either thinking F-1, which was not designed to operate in a vacuum, or (more likely) J-2, which was designed to operate in a vacuum.

Secondly, even after passing the throat, the expansion of the combustion gasses is still constrained by the bell section.  The gasses are truly free to expand only after they pass the lip of the engine bell.

So no work will be done by the gas at any point in the system.
So how does the gas accelerate from zero to speed of free expansion if no work is done?

Because a vacuum is Nothing, and you can't get Something out of Nothing.
But apparently you can get nothing to go into something.

So how does the gas accelerate from zero to speed of free expansion if no work is done?

Through converting its pressure potential energy into molecular kinetic energy; thus, no 'force' is applied to the gas & no work is done, as the gas is expanding freely into a vacuum without meeting resistance.

But apparently you can get nothing to go into something.

Because you said this:

Whilst markjo said this:

the expanding (burning) propellant is ONE object using stored energy to create a force by expanding against a SECOND object, i.e. the combustion chamber.

So, if the ball is NOT expanding, then your whole analogy FAILS.

Pressure potential Energy in bernoulli's equation is the term relative to static pressure... Static means no movement. How  are u supposed to convert something that is static into kinetical Energy, which implies speed, without accelerating a mass of fluid?
But in general How do u suppose to convert Energy without forces and wok be exchanged?

U can convert easily gravitational potential energy into kinetical energy but that occurs thanks to the force of gravity

And you have not even hinted at your explanation of what choked flow in a de Laval really means.  If you study up a bit, you will find that when the flow is choked the downstream pressure has no effect on the flow through the nozzle.

Also please tell me just why the burning fuel in the combustion chamber cannot be classed as a "separated object" from the exhaust gasses ejected from the nozzle.  They are separated by the throat of the nozzle, and that is a very important distinction that you simply do not appreciate!  You do really need to study Rocketry 101.

U can convert easily gravitational potential energy into kinetical energy but that occurs thanks to the force of gravity
To create potential energy to be of use kinetically, you first have to expend the energy to do so, for it to actually be potential energy in the first place.

For instance: your rocket fuel in its container has to be pressurised, meaning it has to be forced into the container using a lot of energy.
Once that container valve is closed, that fuel now becomes potential energy until that valve is re-opened and the contents expelled for combustion or simply pressure against a medium/resistance.

Fuel being ejected out of a open chamber into a nozzle is going one way and one way only, which is out of the point of least resistance which is naturally the open end of the rocket.
On its way out the fuel causes friction against the side walls off whatever it flows through, whether that be a pipe or a chamber or a nozzle. However, this is where the con comes in with bogus rocket science, because we are meant to believe that this friction actually acts in reverse to the fuel being expelled.

Take a look at any rocket diagram and they show you the arrows pointing in reverse to the fuel being expelled. It's nonsense if people take the time to actually think about it.
It's like saying that grating cheese down a cheese grater will throw the cheese grater on the opposite direction to which the cheese is being pushed.
What's really happening is the cheese grater is on a worktop resisting the downward push of the cheese.
Anyone see what I'm saying?
Think of the fuel coming out of the rocket and hitting the sides of that rocket chamber/nozzle/pipes as it flows. It needs something to act as the worktop to stop the fuel and place a force back onto the rocket.
In space you do not have anything like that because it's like taking away the worktop and so, you cannot grate the cheese, which means you gain no work done at all.

This is why the rocket in space, recoil is ridiculous because recoil can only work against a resistance to energy and is why firing a gun creates it, in atmosphere.
In space you create nothing in a near vacuum as we are told and you only have to see what creating a very low pressure does to expand matter to know that your rockets in space are pure fantasy in how we are told they perform and what they actually are.

Like that video that So-carol keeps putting up. She uses it far too often to prove a point and it only proves a point to those who refuse to see what's really going on. The skateboard and medicine ball video I'm talking about.

People get told that the medicine ball is not pushing against atmosphere and it's simply the mass of the ball that propels the person in the opposite direction.
Think about the density of a medicine ball and how much atmosphere that ball actually displaces compared to a football.
What does a football have in it in abundance that the medicine ball does not have?
Answer: it obviously has a lot of atmosphere inside of it, meaning most of that ball in reality being pushed against the atmosphere would be of weak density/mass in displacing the atmosphere, because most of it is actually atmosphere.
The medicine ball holds some atmosphere in PORES of the structure but is mostly made up of repelling matter against the atmosphere, meaning it can displace one hell of a lot more.

What does this mean?
It means that there is a lot more atmospheric pressure upon that medicine ball and that medicine ball in the hands of a person has to resist that atmospheric push on it.
Think about the atmospheric push as a squeeze.
Think of it like someone grabbing you around your body and now you have to strain to release that grip to throw the person off you. You get pushed back because you are pushing into the same resistance for that ball.

The football creates little resistance against your body because it's already nearly equalised with the environment due to it being filled with atmosphere anyway.

People refuse to see how this works. They simply underestimate atmospheric pressure upon dense objects and the resistance it creates.
An easier way to view it is to show the area. Imagine that same medicine ball ironed out flat and stiff.
There's a lot of density/mass in it and so it will stretch out a good bit with a certain thickness.
For sake of argument let's go low sized and say that it flattens out 2 feet square and one inch thick.
Let's do the same with the football.
We can see that the football would be about 5 mm thick.

Which of the two will bend the most if you ran forward whilst holding them like a shield?
The answer is, the football would basically be bent around your arm due to the RESISTANCE of the atmosphere you pushed it against and you would feel a slight resistance to your running.

With your medicine ball sheet you will see that it will warp but  it would create a much much bigger resistance to your run, meaning you use a lot more energy trying to push into the atmosphere with it.

I hope people can now see that atmospheric pressure has everything to do with these tests and these tests are designed to simply dupe you in a clever way because to the untrained eye or thought, it can appear that magical gravity and such like is the reason.

Nothing in your life works unless there is a pressure/resistant reaction to any action, meaning that your very existence and every step you take is reliant on pushing against the atmosphere, which includes rockets and their fuel, whether it's a water rocket or a fuel fire rocket.

For every action there is and has to be an equal and opposite reaction, which applies to atmosphere for which any mass applies energy against.
There can not be any reaction to an action if there is no resistance to it, which means that space as we are told, is fictional, which means that everything in this space is fictional, which means (as we are dealing with them) space rockets are simply fictional.

Also please tell me just why the burning fuel in the combustion chamber cannot be classed as a "separated object" from the exhaust gasses ejected from the nozzle.

I can't believe you just wrote that...

ARE you Kris De Valle?

The purpose of a convergent/divergent nozzle is to accelerate the gases, NOT to make them do work in a vacuum.

NOTHING can make them do that, because it is Impossible.

Some answers from YOU now please, I have given you plenty.

You have given me nothing but nonsense & flim-flam, so stop acting like the Thought-Gestapo & learn to count to Three...

One, Two, Three. Okay?

The fact is, anyone who paid attention during high-school physics should be capable of understanding that a rocket cannot function in a vacuum.

The main reason people cannot is because of paid trolls & idiots like you shouting them down & shitting the issue up...

so if u accelerate gas a force should act on them, shouldn't it? if a force is acting on the gasses and they are only interacting with the nozzle an equal and opposite force should act on the nozzle, shouldn't it?

So how does the gas accelerate from zero to speed of free expansion if no work is done?

Through converting its pressure potential energy into molecular kinetic energy; thus, no 'force' is applied to the gas & no work is done, as the gas is expanding freely into a vacuum without meeting resistance.

Anyhoo; let's return to the post full of awkward questions that you just tried to shitpost down the memory-hole, Clown Derfers:

LOL!!  How does nothing (a vacuum) enter something (a combustion)?

LOL!!! How do you get a gas to combust in a vacuum?

So how does the gas accelerate from zero to speed of free expansion if no work is done?

Through converting its pressure potential energy into molecular kinetic energy; thus, no 'force' is applied to the gas & no work is done, as the gas is expanding freely into a vacuum without meeting resistance.

But apparently you can get nothing to go into something.

This doesn't mean anything; typical markjo.

As for your silly J2 engine; by all means let us examine its 'combustion chamber', nozzle, etc...

It is a joke.

Just like your entire shitpost.

Also, I notice rab downunder is still avoiding addressing this blatant troll-post:

Object A is the Rocket + unburnt fuel, Object F is the burning fuel, and Object B is the thousands of pounds of fuel being ejected out the back.

Note that he is trying to tell us that Objects F & B are the exact same thing.

Here's a hint for you, rab: One, Two, Three.

Remember that!

Not One, Two, Two...

But One, Two, Three.

I believe there is a puppet vampire called Count Von Count on Sesame Street who may be able to help you further should you require it?

Lastly, note that sokarul is avoiding addressing this important point:

No. Why does it need to expand?

Because you said this:

The ball is the fuel/oxidizer exhaust.

Whilst markjo said this:

the expanding (burning) propellant is ONE object using stored energy to create a force by expanding against a SECOND object, i.e. the combustion chamber.

So, if the ball is NOT expanding, then your whole analogy FAILS.

Running away from the ludicrous contradictions at the heart of your arguments is quite the habit with you shpayze-trolls isn't it?

So you do agree that chemists would write reports on experiments performed.  After you said that the chemists I work with would not write papers on their results.  Wow.  This is discount chemist sokarul at his finest. 
But no, chemists you work with would not write papers on their results. That would be part of them, but there's a few more parts of the scientific method they would include.

Typos don't count as being wrong?  In my line of work, typos in a document could lead to disastrous results during a missile launch/mission or, at the very least, the complete rejection of the document.  But I guess being a discount chemist means you don't get tasked to do important things...
More jumping to conclusions.

Well, technically, I'm a missile engineer (hence the name).

Yeah; right.

The Fact is, people in your line of work have to sign all sorts of confidentiality agreements and are very careful what they say & to whom they say it, even to their closest friends & family.

So the idea that you'd not only brag openly about it to the entire world on the internet, but would do so as the moderator of a flat earth Conspiracy Forum, is total & utter BULLSHIT.

And when you throw bonus bullshit like this into the mix:

Object A is the Rocket + unburnt fuel, Object F is the burning fuel, and Object B is the thousands of pounds of fuel being ejected out the back.

Note that you are trying to tell us that Objects F & B are the exact same thing.

Title: Re: People on skateboards.
Post by: Papa Legba on December 19, 2015, 02:22:53 AM
*Yawn!*

The poodle awakes...

Here's some 'straight answers', Fido:

Let us again consider the 'combustion chamber' of  a rocket:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Oh; & Thermodynamics too - thanks for that, markjo!

Still no answer.  Just saying it will not work in a vacuum is NOT an answer.  What did teacher always say?  "Read the question, before you try to answer!".

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.
Well, one end of it is.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.
Not ever?  Not even for an instant?

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.
Are you saying that any gas introduced into the combustion chamber does not exist within the combustion chamber?  What happens, does the gas teleport from the inlet to the nozzle?

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.
So you admit that as long as the interior pressure and exterior pressures are not equal, then the pressure inside the combustion chamber is not equal to zero?

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...
Aren't you a round earther?

'Belief' does not come into it.

In Britain, people in your line of work have to sign the Official Secrets Act.

Which means they are not allowed to say a thing about what they do to anyone, even after they have finished working on the project.

The penalties for breaking the Act range from Prison & Fines down to, at the very least, total loss of professional livelihood & being blacklisted for the rest of their lives.

It is a VERY serious business.

Now, I do not know exactly how they go about it in America, but I doubt the penalties are much less severe.

So, yet again, I state that the simple Fact that you are here, on an INTERNET CONSPIRACY FORUM, openly bragging about what you do, where you live etc, & saying things like 'GPS does not require satellites' can ONLY mean that you are NOT a real missile engineer.

Of course you can't tell anyone.  You can't even tell the people that you work for what you do because all missile technology is super duper, tippy top, hush hush secret.  Don't you know that Papa Legba knows your business better than you do?

Now why would they be doing that, I wonder?

And, of course, they are all as completely full of shit as engy baby himself.

Because there is still no way that a missile engineer working on advanced/classified military projects would be openly bragging about it on an Internet Conspiracy Forum, saying things like 'GPS does not require satellites', 'sustained space-travel is impossible', giving away details such as where he lives, how many kids he has etc...

This kind of thing only happens in Fiction.

But, as you all clearly inhabit a sci-fi fantasy world, I guess it's a case of 'birds of a feather flock together'.

Now; Carry On Lying!

I'm sure you are misunderstanding the Official Secrets Act.  It applies to things that are secret which is NOT the entire occupation.
Has he said anything classified?  Doubt it.
It would be similar in America.  As long as he isn't divulging classified information then nobody cares.

'GPS does not require satellites'?

'Sustained space flight is impossible'?

Any real missile engineer working for the military who expressed the above opinions publicly on an internet conspiracy forum would be dead meat.

Maybe you should look into the fates of the Marconi employees in the same line of work to see what happens to blabbermouth weapons developers?

Because whatever the truth of how & why they died, the end result was to put the absolute Fear of God into everyone else in the industry.

But yeah, engy baby's soopah-speshul & can just say anything he likes on internet conspiracy forums with no come-backs whatsoever...

LMFAO!!!

Oh, & if the State decides it's in their interest to kill you without trial, the Official Secrets Act allows them to do it.

Which is why people who sign it keep VERY quiet about what they do...

So just get the FUCK back in your Austin Powers fantasy world & stop with the bullshit, okay?

I don't have to prove a damn thing about him or his employers.

Because if 'GPS does not require satellites' & 'sustained spaceflight is impossible' are NOT examples of revealing Classified Information then I don't know what is!

If it's true, then his employers, as well as the Military, would have his guts for garters for revealing this info, especially on an internet conspiracy forum ffs; he'd be FINISHED.

Like I said already: the simple fact that he is here, blabbing away like a schoolgirl, is conclusive proof that he is totally full of shit.

IF it's true.  Key word there is if.  Even IF true, he would have to have learned it from his employer, they would have to prove that and it would have to be classified and they would have to prove that.  Looks more like opinion and STILL makes the assumption that anybody is watching or cares which you have yet to prove and which I knew you wouldn't even try.  All you've got is handwaving and bluster.

You're right, you don't know.  If you knew anything at all about how GPS works, you would know that there is no technical reason that the same functionality could not be achieved with ground based or aerial transmitters.  And if lurked moar, you would know that Engy is careful to always qualify the statement about sustained space flight being impossible in the context of a flat earth.   Notice that he never says that GPS does not use satellites or that sustained space flight is impossible on a round earth.

By the way, both of those topics have been discussed in depth on this site, so Engy wouldn't be the only one in trouble.

No-one in the line of work he claims to be in would posture & brag on it like he does on an Internet Conspiracy Forum.

Because if they did, they would be dead meat.

Google 'Marconi engineers mysterious deaths' to find out what happens to weapons developers who fuck up in the Real World.

Not nice, eh?

And, I assure you, what happened back then taught everyone in the industry a BIG lesson, namely - 'The 1st rule of weapons development club is: YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT CLUB!'

But silly James Bond fantasists like engy baby are free to do whatever they please...

Because nobody important cares about their bullshit.

Anyhoo; Carry On Lying!

And oh, look!

Just as I was writing this, engy baby had a post ready to go...

Just like markjo somehow always manages to do.

Of course, he has no real answers to any of my points...

I've found an unproven theory that they were silenced for unknown reasons.  If they had been divulging classified information it would have been far more effective to try them for treason in public so that people would actually know about it.  What you have now is something few have heard about and none have shown a reason for.  Might as well be a myth.  Why am I not surprised that you seem to think it proves something?   ::)

And, I assure you, what happened back then taught everyone in the industry a BIG lesson, namely - 'The 1st rule of weapons development club is: YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT CLUB!'

What evidence do you have that any of those Marconi engineers were openly bragging about classified material?  Who knows, maybe they did keep their mouths shut like they were supposed to, but were taken out as a precaution because they knew too much.

In any case, unrelated conspiracy theories don't help your BS argument about rockets not being able to work in a vacuum.

Post by: Papa Legba on December 20, 2015, 12:53:45 PM
Oh, look what I found:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Oh; & Thermodynamics too - thanks for that, markjo!

Well, I'm learning something!

And the Lies just keep flowing...

How's it going in Doctor Evil's volcano lair btw?

Have you & engy baby worked out what altitude a rocket can actually attain yet?

Or are you both too busy 'enjynerring' an Earthquake-machine, or some other such fantasy super-villain super weapon?

Really; you are all beyond parody.
Really Papa I think you need lots of professional help.  In your case I don't know whether to recommend a Psychiatrist or a Psychologist would be best.  Probably simply being sectioned right off might be best!

BTW I KNOW that a rocket is not limited by extremely low atmospheric pressure, even down to a vacuum, but you simply have no idea out what altitude a rocket can actually attain yet!
If there is a limit, you tell me - any limit is set by fuel load!  And just remember all tests on rocket engines prove that the thrust actually increases as the ambient pressure falls.
You have never shown otherwise.  You just wave you hands around and shout "it can't push on nothing!".  Get the message - it does NOT push on NOTHING it pushes on ejected fuel.

Papa Legba:

Expanding combustion gasses have mass.

Those expanding gasses are being accelerated.

Mass * acceleration is, by definition, a force.

Those combustion gasses are expanding in all directions inside combustion chamber with a finite volume.

Therefore, those expanding combustion gasses are imparting a force upon the walls of the combustion chamber.

A clear example of Newton's laws of motion in action.

Post by: Papa Legba on December 21, 2015, 07:38:24 AM
Nope.

Look:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Nope.

Look:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.
Actually, a relatively small part of the combustion chamber (the throat) is open to the vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.
Why not?  Just for the sake of argument, let's say that we have a pipe instead of a combustion chamber.  If one end is connected the gas supply and the other end is open to a vacuum, then gas does exist in the pipe while the gas is moving from the supply to the vacuum for as long as the supply still has gas in it.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.
Yes, the first place that the gas expands into is the combustion chamber.  Yes, the gas will continue through the throat and into space, but it must expand into the chamber first, because that's what gasses do.  And again, as long as gas is being introduced from the supply, there will be gas expanding into the combustion chamber.

By the way, you seem to be confusing combustion (real) gasses with ideal gasses.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.
Again, as long as the interior pressure and exterior pressures are not equalized, there is gas in the combustion chamber.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...
Oh, I grasp it quite well.  It seems that you're the one who is confused in an obnoxiously arrogant sort of way.

I don't know what number it was, so here it is again with more added.

TheEngineer claimed to have proved an argument using General Relativity. I pointed out how it's strange he always want to be right but used "proved" instead of saying he provided evidence.(Jroa agreed with me) You can't use a theory to claim proof when a theory is falsifiable.  General Relativity is no exception.  But anyways, TheEngineer then went and posted the dictionary definition of proof like it actually meant something, and claimed he was still correct. So to be correct he must have secret knowledge that General Relativity is correct from his own experiments. This is of course because he still thinks he can use the word "proof".

Now I admit I have used "proof" instead of "evidence" on here and there a few threads right now with proof in the title. It's just like I originally said, it's strange for some who who prides himself on always being correct to use a wrong word like that.

What about liquids?  Can liquids exist in a vacuum?  Can two hypergolic liquids be sprayed together in a vacuum and spontaneously combust producing combustion gasses?

To all who valiantly are trying to quiet this non-Flat Earther, non-Globe Earther and Non-sensical - well you know who!
He claims HIS rocket does not work in a vacuum, that's a bit funny (poor design I would say), because mine does.  In fact the thrust of mine actually increases as the outside pressure falls, right down to zero.

Clearly even his poor rocket works up to some high altitude, so I am refusing to give him any more information on the properties of de Laval Nozzles and supersonic gas flow until he can clearly say at what altitude his rocket fails to work.  There must be some low pressure that he classes as this magical vacuum, because even at an altitude of 300 km there is some atmospheric pressure (very, very low but not zero).

He will not answer me, maybe someone else can cajole him to answer - if he can!

If he cannot come up with a clear answer to this question he has proven he knows nothing on the subject.

BTW Get a new record, that one is worn out!
Your moon might be at some unknown height, mine is at around 384,400 km.  Verified by Ham radio echos, Miltary radar and laser reflections.
So your poor rocket won't get that high! Just what will it work to! and stop blustering and simply repeating old rubbish - we've read it all before.  Also Newton, Joules & Thomson are doing fine!

Waht about "Amateur Rocket Into Space Proves Flat Earth" from (http://) and supposedly "proved the earth flat".

TheEngineer claimed to have proved an argument using General Relativity. I pointed out how it's strange he always want to be right but used "proved" instead of saying he provided evidence.(Jroa agreed with me) You can't use a theory to claim proof when a theory is falsifiable.  General Relativity is no exception.  But anyways, TheEngineer then went and posted the dictionary definition of proof like it actually meant something, and claimed he was still correct. So to be correct he must have secret knowledge that General Relativity is correct from his own experiments. This is of course because he still thinks he can use the word "proof".

Now I admit I have used "proof" instead of "evidence" on here and there a few threads right now with proof in the title. It's just like I originally said, it's strange for some who who prides himself on always being correct to use a wrong word like that.

If the combustion chamber is open to the vacuum (which I'm still not sure you agreed upon or not, as you are such a shitposting snake... Luckily we all know damn well it IS open to the vacuum anyway), then any gas produced will simply expand, freely, following the path of least resistance & doing no work.

No matter how you twist & turn, all the laws of physics tell us that a gas-powered rocket simply cannot function in a vacuum.

Phase diagrams are pretty easy to read; gas cannot exist in space. At near-zero Pressures and Temperatures everything turns solid or superfluid (lightest gases like H and He).

All "proof" rockets "work" is made with computers and staged film (pre-computers).

And we keep reminding you that the combustion chamber is not a vacuum. Gas entering the combustion chamber can only exit at a certain finite rate, and if the amount entering is greater or equal than leaving then you will has mass inside the chamber and therefore pressure.

Here is a post from a few months back where mainframes showed he did not even know what the general physics definition of the term 'evacuated' is:

I mean; look at this garbage:

Quote
Free expansion is an irreversible process in which a gas expands into an insulated evacuated chamber. It is also called Joule expansion.

It is not that gas cannot do work in a vacuum. It is that gas does no work when expanding into an evacuated chamber because all of the effect net to zero.

What, exactly, is in that 'evacuated chamber' that the gas does no work whilst expanding into?

Could it be a vacuum?

Why yes; yes it IS a vacuum.

Thus, mainframes completely contradicts himself in one sentence!

& what 'because all of the net effect to zero' means is anybody's guess...

He does this all the time, yet expects us to believe he has a masters in science...

LOL!!!

Cool story bro...

His latest post shows that he has learnt nothing since.

Also note that, for all their talk of the combustion chambers of shpayze-rokkit enjynns such as the J2, the clown derfers seem rather reluctant to actually show us any of these miraculous devices...

This is because, if they did, it would be obvious that they were entirely open to the infinite vacuum of space, & could not possibly work as claimed.

Here is a post from a few months back where mainframes showed he did not even know what the general physics definition of the term 'evacuated' is:

I mean; look at this garbage:

Quote
Free expansion is an irreversible process in which a gas expands into an insulated evacuated chamber. It is also called Joule expansion.

It is not that gas cannot do work in a vacuum. It is that gas does no work when expanding into an evacuated chamber because all of the effect net to zero.

What, exactly, is in that 'evacuated chamber' that the gas does no work whilst expanding into?

Could it be a vacuum?

Why yes; yes it IS a vacuum.

Thus, mainframes completely contradicts himself in one sentence!

& what 'because all of the net effect to zero' means is anybody's guess...

He does this all the time, yet expects us to believe he has a masters in science...

LOL!!!

Cool story bro...

His latest post shows that he has learnt nothing since.

Also note that, for all their talk of the combustion chambers of shpayze-rokkit enjynns such as the J2, the clown derfers seem rather reluctant to actually show us any of these miraculous devices...

This is because, if they did, it would be obvious that they were entirely open to the infinite vacuum of space, & could not possibly work as claimed.

*Yawn!*

Of course I know what the term evacuated means. That's why I used it. The emphasis was on the fact that a chamber is involved. Free expansion requires a closed system otherwise it simply does not hold.

A resistance less environment means that the gas is not impeded BUT it still must be accelerated. Therefore a force acts on the gas. Newtons third states equal and opposite reaction occurs. Therefore the gas exerts a force on the rocket.

If there is no resistance within the combustion chamber, then there is nothing to stop the gas from expanding and exerting a force against the combustion chamber.

Oh, look, I did so months ago & again this week:

  Can two hypergolic liquids be sprayed together in a vacuum and spontaneously combust producing combustion gasses?

Oh, look; I already answered this months ago!

Just out of curiosity, does that include hypergolic propellants that ignite on contact when sprayed into a combustion chamber?

LOL!!!

What does it matter?

If the combustion chamber is open to the vacuum (which I'm still not sure you agreed upon or not, as you are such a shitposting snake... Luckily we all know damn well it IS open to the vacuum anyway), then any gas produced will simply expand, freely, following the path of least resistance & doing no work.

No matter how you twist & turn, all the laws of physics tell us that a gas-powered rocket simply cannot function in a vacuum.

Santa says:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Oh; & Thermodynamics too - thanks for that, markjo!

Flow, my tears, the thought-policeman said...


Good try but a rocket will push on its own fuel in the vacuum of space. let me explain.

Let's illustrate with an example you kids can try at home. First, you need to get yourself into some sort of frictionless situation. Wearing ice skates on a slippery ice rink would be good, or maybe your office has a chair that rolls really well on a hard surface. Next, you'll need a medicine ball. You are the rocket and the medicine ball is your fuel. Toss the medicine ball. You'll notice that as you shove the medicine ball forwards, you yourself lurch backwards. Ta-da, the miracle of physics! (If you think this is because the medicine ball pushed on the air, then try the experiment without the medicine ball--just push on the air with your hands, see how far you lurch backwards.)

Newton's Third Law is usually expressed as, "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction," and you can also think of it as "Forces always come in pairs." While you are pushing on the medicine ball, Newton's Third Law says that the medicine ball is also pushing on you. Thus, you are accelerated by the force acting (backward) on you by the medicine ball. Never mind that it was you who decided to start the pushing in the first place; you can't push on the ball without having the ball push back. Forces always come in pairs.

Of course, rockets work on more sophisticated principles than just tossing fuel out the back. First, the fuel is burned and its hot exhaust gases are expelled at very high velocity (if you toss the medicine ball faster, your body experiences greater backward force). And the rocket's exhaust nozzle has a narrowing so as to squirt the exhaust gasses out even faster, like putting your thumb over the end of a garden hose. Exhaust from chemical propulsion (i.e., fuel-burning propulsion) is typically expelled at 2 km/s (= 4500 mph), and your average rocket mass at launch is 80-85% propellant (fuel + oxidizer), most of which eventually gets squirted out.

Thus for example a Delta II rocket can send a 1800 kg payload into geosynchronous orbit, using about 200,000 kg of propellant. The total rocket at launch would have a mass of about 232,000 kg. That's a lot of fuel! This is because 2 km/s (= 4500 mph) is considered "low" speed in Rocket World, so you have to achieve thrust by squirting lots of mass. If you could squirt something even faster out the back of the rocket, you could get more thrust with less fuel, and therefore send heavier payloads.

This is where electric propulsion succeeds. Electrostatic propulsion, also called ion propulsion, uses what amounts to a small particle accelerator to shove fuel particles out the back of a rocket, providing exhaust velocities of 100 km/s (=220,000 mph).

So you can see that rocket science isn't really all that difficult.

The question you should be asking is: How does a dilithium-powered anti-matter warp drive work?

Conservation of momentum is how rocket work.
When the fuel reacts, the exhaust heats up and expands, so it is pushed out the exhaust hole.
This exhaust that leaves has momentum, so the rocket must gain momentum in the opposite direction. Where else could the momentum opposing the exhaust gas be.

You people refuse to accept an atmospheric barrier to the expanded burning fuel don;t you? and prefer to just believe the fuel can burn inside the rocket and somehow push it up with no aid from anything below it.

The problem with you people is that you believe equations are the answer to any issue  and you cannot use basic logic to see the basic truth.

Now when you want to work out fuel and distance ratios in the real world, then fair enough, do your equations.

Ill explain it,
You have someone floating in a vacuum, they are holding a metal ball. If they throw the ball infront of them, that ball will of gained momentum, where does the momentum to counter the ball's go? To the man who then gains momentum in the opposite direction. Otherwise momentum would not a conserved.

Let's see if you're willing to use your brain.

We will use your floating man and ball.
Now I'm going to put something to you and I do not want magical answers from you  unless you can logically explain them to make sense.

Ok, so the man and ball are in space and floating. He throws the ball in front of him. In order for him to do this he MUST have some leverage to allow him to achieve this.

I believe this part is where you will be scratching your head because your belief is that he will not need any leverage and he can simply throw that ball.

Let me see if I can make this easier for you - well, if not for you - at least to those who are willing to understand it.

A man on the ground throwing a ball has the mass of that ball adding to the mass of himself against the ground. The reason for this is because he picked up that extra mass from the ground which is now repelling more atmospheric pressure.

He now has to throw that ball and he does so by using his LEGS and FEET as a leverage to allow him to propel this ball. He can throw it a great distance doing this.

Now let's change it a little and place this man on a skateboard with the same ball. He goes to throw it and what happens?
He throws the ball but the leverage he once had against the ground is now lessened due to the wheels on the skateboard not creating enough solid leverage on the ground.
You find that his throw is nowhere near as good to launch this ball through a barrier of air resistance and you see him roll back a little.

Now imagine this person floating 1 foot off the floor and holding the same ball. He has no leverage at all. He can bring his arm back to launch that ball but in order for him to do that he needs some leverage to propel it and he has absolutely none.

So what  happens in reality?
It should be obvious to those that do not fall for the mass in space bullshit.
He simply cannot launch the ball. He is stuck to that ball.

All people have to do is switch on their common sense brains to see how simple reality is against the absolute bullshit fantasy of space and it's floating crap.

In space you muscles will still work, so you can hold a ball and move it forward, as you are moving it forward you can let go of it.
Why would muscles not work in space. Does someone falling with a parachute move there arms slower than someone on the ground.

As I said earlier. People need to engage their brains. You clearly refused to engage it and went on a rant without knowing what you are talking about, except to parrot what you read officially and unconditionally adhere to.

Hopefully sensible people will read what I wrote.

Leverage with the ground isn't needed to throw a ball, it does stop the backwards momentum from throwing the ball moving you backwards.
How come I can jump up and throw a ball in the air.
And why wouldn't muscles work in space.

"In order for him to do this he MUST have some leverage to allow him to achieve this" no he doesn't, he just needs working muscles.
"He now has to throw that ball and he does so by using his LEGS and FEET as a leverage to allow him to propel this ball. He can throw it a great distance doing this."
No, his legs and feet stop him from being knocked back by the momentum, instead passing it onto the ground.
You have no evidence for your leverage statement, but conservation of momentum is a proven fact. If you are right about leverage then I wouldn't be able to throw something while jumping.

You can jump up and throw a ball in the air because you are using atmospheric pressure as your leverage, only you won't get as much leverage as opposed to your entire body being pushed to the deck by it's own mass acting against the atmosphere and the actual solid ground.

And muscles clearly couldn't work in your space but that's not what we're arguing about, so let's pretend they can in your fantasy  near vacuum.

I want you to seriously think about what I say here. I very much doubt you will. In fact I'm 100% sure you will just go total cloud cuckoo but I'll hang onto the hope that real people with real brains can see the reality.

Ok, get a large board; say: a 4x4 foot ply-board. Stand on a skate-board and throw that ply-board away from you and see how far you're repelled backwards. You'll find that it's quite a bit if your skate-board is on a hard smooth surface with good wheels.

So what happened?
It depends on who you ask. You can ask a severely indoctrinated naive person who will tell you that the mass of the board is what propelled you but a little help from air resistance due to the surface area of that board.

Try the same thing in water and tell me what repels you?

Let's take the board into fantasy space, held onto by magical floating man on his skate-board.
As we can see, the skate-board is useless because there's no floor.
The man standing on that skate-board can exert no pressure upon the board nor can the board exert any back. Basically his feet are touching the board as the board is touching his feet.
He holds the 4x4 board and realises that he feels no force against his muscles because that board is also floating just like he is.
His arms are bent as if he is about to launch the board away from him, so how does he do this.

If you think he can just push his arms out and release the board you  have to understand action/reaction in equal terms and understand that in a weightless floating environment like we are told space is, you have to use your common sense and grasp that both the person and the board create no extra resistance because there is no environment that caters for resistant force.

At this stage you get some of the so called clever shits that will say "ahh but they still have mass in space." It's tedious but let's counteract that by giving the man and the board exact mass.

Ok before I move on I want any person to throw as many objects as they feel necessary from the ground and also from a skate-board or some wheeled contraption. Even do it jumping in the air and also hanging from a rope.
All I need for you to understand is the fact that no matter how you do it, you have to have leverage to create a force and that force will be equally counteracted by a reactionary force, because of the atmosphere you live  in and all things in an atmosphere have mass/density.
The reason they have mass/density is due to the make up of whatever matter/object pushing against a pressure of it's own displacement of that atmosphere.

In fantasy space you have nothing to lever against. No walls to push off and no floor to stand on. You are literally in suspended animation in a way.
Now because you do not have anything to lever off of, you can only apply enough force to actually stretch out your arms against that board.
What are you not doing?

You are not exerting anything onto the board any more than  the board is exerting back onto you.
You are left with outstretched arms touching that board and that's it. None of you go anywhere from this point.
You end up with your fingertips touching the board and your toes touching the skate-board.

It's pretty simply for any logical person to work out but too many would rather tread the path of bullshit told by people who are too afraid to lose their jobs, as well as those who are actually paid to promote the utter shit of space.

The whole reason you have leverage at all is due to the solid ground and atmospheric pressure you are pushing against. Wake up or be forever comatose, I'm not arsed which.

I've read all of what Papa Legba said and it makes perfect sense. It makes perfect sense because he knows what the reality is and does not fall for fantasy scientific shenanigans.

You people have the ability to copy what you read as long as it's official. You refuse to read anything that goes against it because it scares you.
Do you know what conservation of momentum is, that's reality, that's how rocket work, nothing to do with pushing off something.
Ill explain it,
You have someone floating in a vacuum, they are holding a metal ball. If they throw the ball infront of them, that ball will of gained momentum, where does the momentum to counter the ball's go? To the man who then gains momentum in the opposite direction. Otherwise momentum would not a conserved.
Let's see if you're willing to use your brain.

We will use your floating man and ball.
Now I'm going to put something to you and I do not want magical answers from you  unless you can logically explain them to make sense.

Ok, so the man and ball are in space and floating. He throws the ball in front of him. In order for him to do this he MUST have some leverage to allow him to achieve this.

I believe this part is where you will be scratching your head because your belief is that he will not need any leverage and he can simply throw that ball.

Let me see if I can make this easier for you - well, if not for you - at least to those who are willing to understand it.

A man on the ground throwing a ball has the mass of that ball adding to the mass of himself against the ground. The reason for this is because he picked up that extra mass from the ground which is now repelling more atmospheric pressure.

He now has to throw that ball and he does so by using his LEGS and FEET as a leverage to allow him to propel this ball. He can throw it a great distance doing this.

Now let's change it a little and place this man on a skateboard with the same ball. He goes to throw it and what happens?
He throws the ball but the leverage he once had against the ground is now lessened due to the wheels on the skateboard not creating enough solid leverage on the ground.
You find that his throw is nowhere near as good to launch this ball through a barrier of air resistance and you see him roll back a little.

Now imagine this person floating 1 foot off the floor and holding the same ball. He has no leverage at all. He can bring his arm back to launch that ball but in order for him to do that he needs some leverage to propel it and he has absolutely none.

So what  happens in reality?
It should be obvious to those that do not fall for the mass in space bullshit.
He simply cannot launch the ball. He is stuck to that ball.

All people have to do is switch on their common sense brains to see how simple reality is against the absolute bullshit fantasy of space and it's floating crap.
So in your world people can't throw balls (or they would be worse throws) if they jump.  Ever watch an outfielder in baseball throw all the way back to home plate?

According to you then it would matter what orientation that board is when you throw it because it would have different air resistance.  Test it. You'll find you are wrong.  Orientation does not matter.  you could take the same mass concentrated in a far smaller area (far less air resistance) and get the same force.  Air resistance does NOT come into play.

I got to be careful what I say here, I,ve had a Moderator warnings for saying this but still: Welcome to the mind of a flat earther.

Conservation of momentum is tough to understand but once you accept reality it works. I see lots of assumptions of anchorage and leverage requirements although these assumptions are clearly a lack of understanding. Its similar for a lot of flat earthers views.

You end up with your fingertips touching the board and your toes touching the skate-board.
So when you push the board away from you it has velocity, untill it sudenly loses it before it stops touching your fingers, what force makes it lose the velocity. An object in motion remains in motion unless acted on by a force.

The J2 would be nice; it went to teh munn, you know!

And how it came back; how did the braking/deceleration process from ~40,000 km/h to "parachute deployment speeds" work? :D
I know I am very late replying to this bit, but you ask "how did the braking/deceleration process from ~40,000 km/h"?
Well, it didn't!  The velocity at separation was about 6012 km/hr at an altitude of 76 km.  The velocity is nothing like orbital velocity.  I don't yet know yet maximum velocity of stage 1 during recovery, it may have been higher.
The hyper-sonic drag grid fins are a means of reducing the terminal velocity.  Maybe it's not so impossible!

I know I am very late replying to this bit, but you ask "how did the braking/deceleration process from ~40,000 km/h"?
Well, it didn't!  The velocity at separation was about 6012 km/hr at an altitude of 76 km.  The velocity is nothing like orbital velocity.  I don't yet know yet maximum velocity of stage 1 during recovery, it may have been higher.
The hyper-sonic drag grid fins are a means of reducing the terminal velocity.  Maybe it's not so impossible!

I can only begin to imagine how drunk you were whilst writing this; did you fall asleep in a bathtub full of gin?

We were talking about the ridiculous Apollo farce-capsule re-entry, not the ridiculous SpaceX farce-rokkit.

Also, adding the words 'hypersonic' & 'drag' to the words 'grid fins' will not somehow make them functional.

It is merely a sign of typical shpayze-tard techno-babble loghorrea.

Your claim "Force (F) is mass (m) times the derivative of time that has velocity; acceleration (a = dv/dt)." is only partly correct, try:
Force (F) is the time derivative of time that has momentum (p) and momentum (p) is mass (m) times velocity (v).
Hence F = d(mv)/dt.
In the case of a rocket the total mass does change as the fuel is burnt and ejected.

Oh, and I thought that Newton's second law implied that force = rate of change of momentum.  This ejected burnt fuel leads to a rate of change of mass, hence the rate of change of momentum.  Even Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (in 1896) and Robert Goddard (1914) knew this.  I am afraid poor Papa is over a century out of date!  Go study up your Rocket Engineering 101 again.  Oh, sorry you slept through that class - no wonder you're so ignorant!

Homework time again, shpayze-tards...

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

I missed this little bit, nowhere did anyone (except you) say "F=m*v". 
No, force (F) = time derivative of momentum (p = m*v).
so F=d(m*v)/dt or if the velocity (exhaust velocity here) is constant F =  (dm/dt)*v.  In the diagram dm/dt is written as "m dot", which is not easy to insert into text here - in comes out as .

Oh?  How do you define work?  Here's how the physics world defines work:
Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_%28physics%29
In physics, a force is said to do work if, when acting on a body, there is a displacement of the point of application in the direction of the force. For example, when a ball is held above the ground and then dropped, the work done on the ball as it falls is equal to the weight of the ball (a force) multiplied by the distance to the ground (a displacement).

But you already said this:

I'm not trying to get gas to do work in a vacuum.

You claimed it did, but you Lied.
Nope.  If there is a pressure gradient between the high pressure of the fuel tank and the zero pressure of the vacuum, then there is most certainly a meaningful amount of gas in the combustion chamber that is between the two for as long as that pressure gradient exists.

And, as usual, you are reduced to petty quibbling about definitions like a crooked lawyer.

In the choked condition the outside pressure (even if it is a vacuum) has no effect on the mass flow.

Through converting its pressure potential energy into molecular kinetic energy; thus, no 'force' is applied to the gas & no work is done, as the gas is expanding freely into a vacuum without meeting resistance.

No, you can't get away that easily!  I know you regard yourself as the sole authority on de Laval nozzles, but you must give some justification, other than just your say so!
All references I have found to the choked de Laval nozzle state categorically that:

So, basically, put up or shut up.

Note that it has a big hole in the end.

And a shower-head on top.

So; the fuel is squirted through the shower-head, into the chamber-with-a-big-hole-in-the-end.

When this is done in an infinite vacuum, what do you think will happen?

The Laws of Physics suggest that Nothing will happen; bye-bye gas, off trying to fill Infinity!

some work must have been done on the gas molecule, since it has gained kinetic energy.

or u saying that the work-energy principle is not true?
On Earth gas is stored by work being done to store it. It then possesses potential energy and then kinetic energy once released by being opened up to the ATMOSPHERE. either naturally or by burning, with burning producing more expansion against the atmosphere to create more work done against it.

However, if we channel that to the vacuum of space as we are told. the gas is opened up to a NON-EXISTENCE of any atmospheric RESISTANCE meaning that gas will FREELY EXPAND into the vacuum with NO WORK being done, because whether it's opened up to the vacuum as gas or by supposed burning, it cannot expand into anything, because there's nothing at all to expand against to create any resistant REACTIONARY force.

You can argue all you want about it being choked inside that chamber and gripping walls to send the rocket in the opposite direction but you're wrong. You're 100% wrong. It's akin to saying that running on a roll of plastic is going to propel you forwards as the plastic spreads out behind you. You find that all your plastic has gone and you are still stood on the empty cardboard roll.

Just remember one massive thing. There is only equal force applied inside a closed chamber, all around it.
Once you open it up to an environment that offers ZERO resistance, then you get ZERO reaction to action, meaning no work done, because your energy has FREELY expanded.

Try and grasp it for your own sake not for anyone else's.

Yes if it has something to resist that force from back to front. In space you have no resistant force from one end due to it being a vacuum, as we are told, so you lose that resistance and therefore you lose all your energy to that vacuum as free expansion with no reactionary work achieved.

Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

Here is the Magical 'De Laval Nozzle/Combustion Chamber' the shpayze-tards all get in such a lather about:

(http://www.space-propulsion.com/launcher-propulsion/rocket-engines/images/vulcain-thrust-chamber-assembly.jpg#moved)

Note that it has a big hole in the end.

And a shower-head on top.

So; the fuel is squirted through the shower-head, into the chamber-with-a-big-hole-in-the-end.

When this is done in an infinite vacuum, what do you think will happen?

The Laws of Physics suggest that Nothing will happen; bye-bye gas, off trying to fill Infinity!

You shpayze-tards, however, are not paid to understand that...

So; Carry on Lying!

You see, I'm setting you up for a fail.
You already failed. Twice.

Because, this:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

I'm saying it's a pathetic reductio ad absurdum strawman that will not affect whether a rocket functions in a vacuum or not.

Just like your De Laval nozzle strawman.

Free Expansion & Newton's 3rd Law are all that matters here.
Since upwards of 80% of a rocket's mass is usually propellant that is being ejected out the back, I'd say that mass flow matters too.

In truth there will never be absolute free expansion, just like there isn't an absolute vacuum to our perception.
However, that's not really the issue.
The issue is in dealing with space as we are told. This is what you would determine as closest to free expansion.

Now because we are dealing with rockets and not just a piddly amount of gas in a  chamber on Earth, we can liken the rocket in space to losing all of it's fuel/gas or whatever to FREE expansion or as close to it as possible.
Empty that rocket fuel into a chamber on Earth and you never get free expansion. You always hit resistance and even create it as you lose it to that chamber which no longer becomes evacuated.

Your space rockets are rendered useless and pointless and a fantasy.

You're right.  The real issue it that gas has mass and mass is subject to certain rules, regardless of whether or not it's in a vacuum.  Free expansion does not magically preclude mass from requiring a force to accelerate that mass.

The force to accelerate the mass of the fuel/gas in your space environment remains the same. It's down to free expansion.
The only force that can happen inside your rocket chamber that has to be opened to that vacuum  has to come from the expansion of each molecule onto each other.

This can only happen one way once a chamber is opened to the vacuum. The expansion of the gases has to start from the front and a chain reaction of expansions follow it in varying states.
The first gases out are your true or close to true free expansion gas molecules followed by the next lot that can now freely expand...and so on.

There's nothing happening the other way inside that chamber to propel your rocket in the opposite direction.
Anyone who wants to argue that a choke offers a more energetic push by stopping mass escape and exerting pressure onto the walls by friction, needs to have a word and a thought on it.

It's literally last molecules of gas out, stinks. All going one way and all expanding entirely into the space vacuum we're told about.
This would happen in such short order because there is simply no resistance to the onrushing molecules expanding out of the chamber.

None.

- there's no gas in a near-zero T near-vacuum
- there's no other force than gravity in space

There's no need for any calculations. You simply lose your mass of fuel almost instantly due to free expansion.
We aren't getting anywhere because your mindset it totally different to what I'm telling you about.

Let's put this clear. Your mindset is of the belief that fuel can expand by combustion or even just molecules expansion and yet this expansion in an open chamber inside your rocket against a vacuum, will somehow act in all ways equally, meaning fuel expands one way into the vacuum and also expands the other and pushes onto the walls of the rocket chamber as if it was Samson pushing two pillars apart by using one as a lever against the other and vice versa to achieve some movement. Is this right or am I missing something in your thinking.

The force to accelerate the mass of the fuel/gas in your space environment remains the same.
Okay, now we're getting somewhere.  Now, how fast is the gas travelling while it's "freely expanding" and how much force would be required to accelerate 10 kg of gas to that speed?
There's no need for any calculations. You simply lose your mass of fuel almost instantly due to free expansion.
So you're saying that 10 kg pressurized gas can go from rest to however fast with no force required? 

We aren't getting anywhere because your mindset it totally different to what I'm telling you about.
That's because what you're telling me doesn't make sense.

Let's put this clear. Your mindset is of the belief that fuel can expand by combustion or even just molecules expansion and yet this expansion in an open chamber inside your rocket against a vacuum, will somehow act in all ways equally, meaning fuel expands one way into the vacuum and also expands the other and pushes onto the walls of the rocket chamber as if it was Samson pushing two pillars apart by using one as a lever against the other and vice versa to achieve some movement. Is this right or am I missing something in your thinking.
I'll need to know before I move on. Use a similar analogy to put me right on your thinking if you believe I'm not on your wavelength.
There are lots of ways to describe how a rocket works, depending on how detailed you want to get.  In it's simplest form, a rocket is using force to push some mass (propellant/exhaust gasses/whatever) one way resulting in an equal and opposite force that pushes the rocket the other way.

Individual particles in a liquid and gas can be modelled as a solid because that is what they are. Solid particles. Collections of solid particles in a fluid state are then collectively modelled using fluid dynamics. Fluid dynamics still is based upon the simple truth that individual particles are solid.

You know saying that a V2 only travels at 900 mph at under 12 miles altitude is in my book saying that they don't work!  Any designer of rockets would call that a complete failure!
You clearly know nothing about aerodynamics and nothing about rockets.  How on earth would a V2 fly at 900 mph and 12 mile altitude?
So the engine quits after it has travelled only 15 miles.  How did it manage to stay up there for the rest of the 185 miles of its 200 mile range.  Now you're going to tell me thet glided the 185 miles! They certainly did get from the launch sites to London!  Now who's in la La land!

Right, so the point why gases do not exist in a near-zero T, near-zero P environment is that there is no cohesion between the particles. However you call them (solid or not). They simply wander off ('free expansion' if you want to use that wording) into the vast nothingness of space; kilometers apart without having any movement (near-zero T) or cohesion, so not forming a "gas".

Hence rocket-based technology does not (do) work under space conditions.

Yes, I will; though you are more brainwasher than brainwashed.

Documents can be forged or altered, and the end of world war two was a particularly fertile time for forgery.

By early 1945 the fix was well & truly in for the future of rocketry, as evidenced by the May 1945 edition of Popular Science - which first described the impossible 'reaction engine' principle - and Arthur C Clarke's proposal for 'satellites' in the February 1945 edition of Wireless World.

The V2 was already being set up by the inevitable victors as the basis for their planned space-fraud; as such few unaltered documents & information remain as to its true capabilities.

But they can be found; and not everyone around at that time is dead yet...

As such I stand by my data: max speed 900 mph; max altitude 12 miles.

Sure, but inside the rocket (especially one just entering "space") the fuel is not (yet) at a low temperature or pressure. The burnt fuel is at still at a high temperature and at the exit of the nozzle not yet at vacuum pressure. The exhaust gas is travelling at a finite velocity and cannot escape from the nozzle instantly.
By the time the exhaust gas has left the nozzle it has done its work. From then on, as Wernher von Braun supposedly said "who cares ......... That's not my department?"  Apologies to Tom Lehrer.

Indeed; the picosecond the nozzle is opened, the system is exposed to the vast nothingness of nothing; no pressure, no temperature (so no movement). "no" is a near-zero "no" here.

So when that nozzle opens the inner chamber will take over the conditions of space near-instantaneously and everything is lost in space. Forever.

Quote
The burnt fuel is at still at a high temperature

No; it will take over the conditions of space.

Quote
and at the exit of the nozzle not yet at vacuum pressure.

No, there is no "not yet". There's no transient effect; space is ruthless. Yes or no, black or white.

Quote
The exhaust gas

Does not exist.

Quote
is travelling at a finite velocity

There's no velocity; it simply dissepates into the nothingness.

Quote
and cannot escape from the nozzle instantly.

A pressure gradient of let's say 10 bar to 10^-16 bar (or whatever figure; nobody knows that number) makes it very instantly...

Quote
By the time the exhaust gas has left the nozzle it has done its work.

No, work can only be the result of the interaction with a medium. As space has no medium (no atmosphere) there's no work to be done.

If you think the work is done only inside the pressurized chamber; try to seal a cannon and fire it. Take some precautions; I wouldn't want to lose your valuable funny fairytelling here...

Do you mind if I answer simply RUBBISH. 
For a start the rocket does not got from "atmospheric" conditions to "vacuum" conditions instantly!  And, even then there is no magic quality about a vacuum to instantly suck out all heat and gas.  In fact in a vacuum there is no conduction, and no convection - the only heat transfer is by radiation and that is a two way process.  Near earth (and a few hundred km up is still near) about half any object is exposed to earth at about 300 K, the other half might be exposed to space at maybe 4 K, or exposed to the Sun at say 6000 K.
Even exposed to space the thermal radiation is nothing like instantaneous, but controlled by the Stefan–Boltzmann law for a black body, and reduced somewhat by the emissivity of the surfaces involved, for the aluminium surface of a rocket this might be from 0.05 (shiny) to 0.2 (oxidised).

But enough of this trying to be logical, your physics seems on a par with that of our "dear friend" Papa Legba.  You probably went to the same school!  I wouldn't recommend that school for anyone contemplating a career in science!

Stop being completely stupid, of course they are and always have been "reaction engines".  The only thing I find slightly interesting is that anyone can be so completely ignorant of the simplest physical principles.
I don't find it strange that the writers of popular science magazine sometimes get it wrong.

Those principles were known by the Russian, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and the American, Robert H. Goddard, long before Whittle, Papa Legba and NASA came along.  The earlier reports saying they "pushed on the air" were just the writings of journalists.  Goddard had arguments with the editors of the New York Times, Goddard won, showing that they possibly know less of physics than you!  Then again, maybe not!

You want to know something, if I has to chose who to trust on the theory of rockets (and jet engines - almost the same thing!) between Papa Legba on one side and Tsiolkovsky, Robert H. Goddard and Whittle on the other.  It would be a "no contest"!  Bye, bye!

If gas has mass, then gas requires a force to accelerate it.  If a force is applied to a gas, then the gas reacts with an equal and opposite force.

The force to accelerate gas is in the gas itself being compressed. Jack in the box.
Jack comes out of the box and the box stays put whilst Jack's head is in space.

Try that with the compressed gas that opens to the near vacuum. It's natural action is to expand and each molecule of expansion and by how much is determined on what it comes into contact with as it does decompress/expand.

Here's an easy analogy.

You have a container of sponge balls crammed in so tight that they are squashed from football size to tennis ball size. We can call this compressed gas molecules.
Assuming this container is at sea level atmosphere, we then picture the outside of that container and the surrounding area as far as you can see is full of football sized sponge balls.

Ok, so now we open up one end of the container and bang, all the  TENNIS ball sized sponge balls start to expand into the footballs but the footballs are putting up a resistance and stopping the tennis ball sized sponge balls from fully expanding into them at a rate of speed.

Now because each sponge ball is encountering resistance, they push back onto the container and push it back a little, because they compress those footballs outside which act like a reactionary spring and causes a spring effect against the sponge balls coming out.
Because the internal  tennis sponge balls expand into the external footballs, the external footballs have to absorb that expansion and to do that, they compress to equalise and creates a chain reaction, sort of, until expansion is fully equalised.


Now let's take that same scenario to space. Only this time we have tennis ball sized sponge balls inside the container compressed but outside of that container we do not have the resistant nature of the football sponge balls, because space as we are told, is a vacuum meaning there is no existence of these sponge balls.
Open up one end of the container and your tennis ball sized sponge balls immediately expand by FREE EXPANSION from that container because they hit no resistant force . All they do is expand away from each other until the very last sponges are fully expanded,
The end result is no work done at all, except the gases simply expanding at the front and being followed in that expansion as they exit the container in  to the nothingness.

Naturally that's not exactly reality as such because space does not exist as people have been duped into but it'll do for now as a decent analogy for anyone caring to take the time to grasp it.

Do you mind if I answer simply RUBBISH. 

I don't mind. "Rubbish" (with capitals) merely shows your trolling style. It's a label.

Quote
For a start the rocket does not got from "atmospheric" conditions to "vacuum" conditions instantly!

I have never claimed such a thing. The higher you get, the thinner the atmosphere gets. Hence my use of "" around Karman "line".

Quote
And, even then there is no magic quality about a vacuum to instantly suck out all heat and gas.

As Papa Legba already said; "suck" is not the right wording. The pressure equilibrium is near-instantaneous though. Opening the nozzle to the near-infinite nothingness will near-instantly re-equilibrate the pressure conditions; any pictured "rocket" in space would lose everything to the vast emptiness of space.

Quote
In fact in a vacuum there is no conduction, and no convection - the only heat transfer is by radiation

That is correct. At least you understand some thermodynamics.

Quote
and that is a two way process.

No, it is not a "two-way-process". The heat energy that is radiated to the rocket from the Sun is conducted over the sunlit surface.

Quote
Near earth (and a few hundred km up is still near) about half any object is exposed to earth at about 300 K, the other half might be exposed to space at maybe 4 K, or exposed to the Sun at say 6000 K.

250-300 C (some 573 K) is used by widely accepted science as a number but it's impossible to know the real figure as we cannot get up there to check it. Where do you get your magical 6000 K from? The Moon is estimated at Moonday around 250 C, how come it's not at 5730 C then?

Quote
Even exposed to space the thermal radiation is nothing like instantaneous, but controlled by the Stefan–Boltzmann law for a black body, and reduced somewhat by the emissivity of the surfaces involved, for the aluminium surface of a rocket this might be from 0.05 (shiny) to 0.2 (oxidised).

It is instananeous as there is no medium to create transient effects. It's black and white. On or off. No in betweens, no "reduced somewhat", no "wait some seconds".

Quote
But enough of this trying to be logical, your physics seems on a par with that of our "dear friend" Papa Legba.  You probably went to the same school!  I wouldn't recommend that school for anyone contemplating a career in science!

Indeed I praise Papa Legba for his sound understanding and patient elaboration of his explanations. I am sure we did not go to the same school or university but that is irrelevant.

*Yawn!*

Another pretender with a science-y sounding name appears...

How predictable.

And, yet again, it is trying to apply the principles of solid mechanics to a gas...

How predictable.

Tell you what, 'Empirical'; put your gas in a box.

Then, take that box of gas & throw it...

Because that is the only way you can apply a 'force' to a 'mass' of gas & 'accelerate' it.

Remind you of something?

That's right; your fraudulent 'man on skateboard' analogy!

Whatever; you bore me now...

I'm sure you'll fit in nicely here.

Toodle-pip, noob!
Do fans not exist?  Funny thing about fans, when they accelerate air, they get accelerated in the opposite direction, so the gas must have a force applied to it for the fan to have one to, or do planes also not work?
Planes also have an upwards force acting on them from accelerating air downwars, again prove that air can be accelerated.
So you believe that gases has no mass, so what happens to the mass of water when it evaporates.
F=ma applys to all matter, it's a consequence of momentum being conserved.
Title: Re: People on skateboards.
Post by: Papa Legba on January 06, 2016, 01:34:37 PM

Instant Fail.

Took you all of two posts; a record!

When speaking of gasses, it is conservation of energy, not conservation of momentum, that is key.

Because gasses are compressible & can store potential energy.

And when that pressure is released, the potential energy converts to kinetic energy without force being applied.

Now; rather than make an instant smart-ass reply, please go away & try to understand Free Expansion.

Or don't; nobody cares either way.

No; he rode up on his horse.

To be fair, I have no problem confining this 'debate' to Newtonian mechanics...

Because, if we use the lesser-known but correct definition of his 3rd law 'every action has an equal & opposite reaction, depending on resistance', then we see that when resistance=0, as in a vacuum, then reaction=0.

However, for accuracy's sake, the truth is we should use fluid mechanics & thermodynamics; these are, in my opinion, a natural extension of Newton's work, and the experimentally-proven, scientific fact that gas expands freely in a vacuum without doing any work should put an end to all talk of gas-powered space-rockets.

But it won't.

As it is in the name, resistance is a hinder to motion. It does not allow for motion.
For every ACTION there is an EQUAL and opposite REACTION.

What this means in real life terms is; it requires resistance to any action. This doesn't hinder motion, it is required for motion because you do not get motion unless you have ACTION then REACTION to that ACTION.

Confused?

For you to move forward, you must push away atmospheric resistance. To do this, you stack it behind you and it pushes right back onto you. EQUAL and OPPOSITE REACTION to ACTION.

Confused?

To swim in a pool you gather the water by scooping your arms and hands into it and then you push it behind you. You create a lower pressure in front of you by doing this and created a higher pressure behind you by pushing water into the water behind which creates a slightly raised level, which immediately pushes back onto you to fill that lower pressure, which propels you along.

Exactly the same as atmosphere does in ALL cases.
Let's take away the water and the atmosphere. Now try and swim. Try and scoop the nothingness and push it behind you to create a push back force.
Can't do it?.....EXACTLY; so why in the hell would you expect rockets to do it?

I'm sorry you find not understanding Newton's 3rd funny; I think it's pretty shameful.

Because an action can only create a truly equal & opposite reaction if met by infinite resistance.

Which is why the corollary 'depending on resistance' is appended.

If gas has mass, then gas requires a force to accelerate it.

Oh dear...

Again, you are talking about 'accelerating' a gas with 'forces'.

Please stop using the principles of Solid mechanics to describe how a gas behaves.
Please show me where Newton said that F=MA applies only to solids.


If gas has mass, then gas requires a force to accelerate it.  If a force is applied to a gas, then the gas reacts with an equal and opposite force.
The force to accelerate gas is in the gas itself being compressed. Jack in the box.
Jack comes out of the box and the box stays put whilst Jack's head is in space.
What do you suppose would happen to Jack's head if it was just sitting on top of the spring rather than being attached to it?


To be fair, I have no problem confining this 'debate' to Newtonian mechanics...

Because, if we use the lesser-known but correct definition of his 3rd law 'every action has an equal & opposite reaction, depending on resistance', then we see that when resistance=0, as in a vacuum, then reaction=0.
Would you care to cite a reputable source that mentions Newton's 3rd needing resistance? 

By the way, friction (a.k.a. resistance) is also a force.

However, for accuracy's sake, the truth is we should use fluid mechanics & thermodynamics; these are, in my opinion, a natural extension of Newton's work, and the experimentally-proven, scientific fact that gas expands freely in a vacuum without doing any work should put an end to all talk of gas-powered space-rockets.

Once again, you are. If what you said was true, air resistance wouldn't exist as it would cancel itself out. What really happens is you push on the air and the air pushes on you. This is why it is harder to move into the wind.

lol not even close, although you did try to claim this in the past. You can swim without moving your arms. What really happens is you push on the water and the water pushes back.

Quote

Let's take away the water and the atmosphere. Now try and swim. Try and scoop the nothingness and push it behind you to create a push back force.
This is a good example of why we know rockets don't push off air. In space the rocket pushes off it exhaust and the exhaust pushes back. Just look a the skateboard medicine ball video in this thread. See how the guy pushes the ball? In return the ball pushes him and he rolls back some. No air needed.

No; the force I applied is beating atmospheric pressure. Gravity cannot be beaten.

It's obvious you've never dived in your life.

For diving you need lead weights to get down. If not, you will simply move to the surface as the air and water in your body is lighter than the water around you. Diving is not beating gravity either; it is beating the pressure.

When your body weight is higher than the pressure of the water, for instance when you die, the air is pushed out and replaced by water, you simply sink to the bottom. So still not beating gravity.

No, it's something you just overcome by computer designing fantasy "orbits". Ask NASA. :D :D

You can't. You simply are attracted to the highest gravitational force around. In the "vicinity" of Earth that is the Earth-Moon gravitational system. No escape from that; you simply fall back to Earth and burn up in the atmosphere, like any other object. Meteors do it every day.

u can apply both conservation of momentum and energy to gasses. when talking about thurst conservation of momentun is used.

to have a free expansion without work being done the expansion needs to happen in a insulated chamber.

While we wait for the loathsome disinfo-poodle to stop Lying, let's look at an issue of popular Science from 1941 which describes a jet engine as 'pushing on the atmosphere'.

Is it not strange that, in the May 1945 edition, they did a complete about-face & described both jets & rockets as being 'reaction engines', a completely implausible concept?

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Here's a combustion chamber to laugh at too:

None of you clowns know how to apply Newton's laws correctly anyway, so the question is moot.
Yes we do, Newtons laws apply to anything with mass, not just solids. The third law has nothing to do with resistance, it comes from the fact that momentum is conserved.
And conservation of momentum applies to everything, it is a universal law.
In a closed system total momentum doesn't change.

Ok here's your chance to understand it all.

Every object whether it's a plane or boat or walking person or car or missile or rocket has to first use the energy it has to push backwards to gain forward momentum.

So this is how it all works.

A plane ignites fuel and air mixture which expands out of the back of the engine in case of a jet. As it does this it PUSHES  the more dense atmosphere behind, out of the way but in doing so, that dense air comes right back around to squeeze back onto the expanding burning fuel and forces the plane forwards.

A ship is exactly the same on water with water just being a more dense version of atmosphere.
The ships engine burns fuel to create energy which is transferred to a propeller which spins.
The propeller is shaped to PUSH water away from the ship and in doing so it forces that water against the already dense water that was behind it in the first place. This creates a pressure build up  or a resistance and it raises the water which basically slams back down to squeeze and push that ship along.

Same with a swimmer.
The swimmer uses his/her hands and arms as the energy to scoop into the water and push it backwards into the water behind which builds up due to a barrier being created and the same thing happens. It raises the water a little and that water is forced back down by atmospheric pressure to push and squeeze the swimmer forward.

A person walking uses the ground to push against but then has to kick away atmospheric pressure with each step before it touches the ground and then that person can use that leg to push down onto the ground and use that as a lever to lift up his/her other leg to push into the atmosphere with his/her body to compress the air in front and force it around him/her to squeeze and push back against the denser atmosphere behind.

If this is a tad confusing then I'm going to go the easiest way possible to allow you to understand why everything  happens this way and how easy it is to see it happening.

Look at a mole. It scoops the soil in front and pushes it around itself. (swimmer). It can now move into the void it created because the soil is looser (lower pressure).
The reason it can move forward into that is because it''s pushing that soil into denser soil behind it, giving it leverage to continue moving forward.

A rocket going vertical pushes burning fuel out of the back which compresses the atmosphere under and around it. The atmosphere naturally squeezes back due to this compression and pushes the rocket up as  long as the rocket keeps pushing burning fuel into that compression squeeze.

Now....the key.

Put that same rocket in a near vacuum and you can push as much fuel out of it as you want to but it has nothing at all to compress into as there is n o atmosphere to squeeze back.
The end result is the rocket loses all of it's fuel because that fuel is allowed to freely expand into nothingness....no resistance to it, so no squeeze back or push back.
End result is the rocket goes nowhere.

Put a ship in a dry dock and spin the propeller as fast as you want to. the ship is staying put regardless of that massive set of engines chugging away inside of it.

If you take full on notice of  what I've just said then you should be under no illusions whatsoever that rockets in space are fantasy.
If you still believe they can work by kicking themselves up their own arses, then  just go with that and  just go about your life accepting anything and everything the mainstream indoctrination wagon takes you to.

The reason it can move forward into that is because it''s pushing that soil into denser soil behind it, giving it leverage to continue moving forward.

A rocket going vertical pushes burning fuel out of the back which compresses the atmosphere under and around it. The atmosphere naturally squeezes back due to this compression and pushes the rocket up as  long as the rocket keeps pushing burning fuel into that compression squeeze.

Now....the key.

Put that same rocket in a near vacuum and you can push as much fuel out of it as you want to but it has nothing at all to compress into as there is n o atmosphere to squeeze back.
The end result is the rocket loses all of it's fuel because that fuel is allowed to freely expand into nothingness....no resistance to it, so no squeeze back or push back.
End result is the rocket goes nowhere.

Put a ship in a dry dock and spin the propeller as fast as you want to. the ship is staying put regardless of that massive set of engines chugging away inside of it.

If you take full on notice of  what I've just said then you should be under no illusions whatsoever that rockets in space are fantasy.
If you still believe they can work by kicking themselves up their own arses, then  just go with that and  just go about your life accepting anything and everything the mainstream indoctrination wagon takes you to.
This has been shown to be wrong.
No it hasn't. What I'm saying is spot on. It's 100% correct.
Your belief is in rockets kicking themselves up their own arses and for that you are totally beyond help and even do not merit replies. I'm being generous in this case.

Are you saying the air gains momentum? I thought you said that couldn't happen?

And I thought you said rockets don't push on the air.

Can't have it both ways.

Either way I win...

Toodle-pip, two-times loser!
I never said rockets push on air. I said planes push on air, and for them to be able to push on air, the air must be gaining momentum. Since air can gain momentum, the gas leaving a rocket must have momentum, so the rocket must again forwards momentum.
So you can admin rockets work, or you can say that planes don't work, either way, you lose.

How does air pressure move a 2,000 ton rocket?
By energy pushed into it. It's no different to your aircraft carrier floating on water and being propelled along it.
The only difference to the eye is one is horizontal and one is vertical. The propulsion on the ship can be changed to a jet if so desired, if you think a propeller confuses you.

Your rocket has to externally burn it's fuel whilst the ship can internally burn it's fuel to operate a propeller.
This stuff generally goes way over your head because you come back in a frenzy and refuse to understand it.
Have a try this time and I'll help you out if you can get rid of that arrogant nature you show, you piddly little bastard.  :P

Rockets work and planes work in atmosphere. Both do not work  in a vacuum. That's the key to it all.

Planes work by sucking in gas then blowing it out in the opposite direction. Rockets work by carrying the gas with them, and releasing it in only one direction (that's why it doesn't need gas around it). Different things, but both need gas to obey the law of conservation of momentum.

Also
1. If you have a container of air in a vacuum and you make a hole in it, the air will go out the hole.
2. Since to move out of the hole the air gains velocity, so it gains momentum.
3. Since the air gains momentum, an object must gain momentum in the opposite direction.
What object other than the container could gain that momentum.

Post by: luckyfred on January 07, 2016, 10:13:34 AM
A plane ignites fuel and air mixture which expands out of the back of the engine in case of a jet. As it does this it PUSHES  the more dense atmosphere behind, out of the way but in doing so, that dense air comes right back around to squeeze back onto the expanding burning fuel and forces the plane forwards.
wrong.

plane.... take gas (air) from the air inlet, mixes it with fuel. the gas has a lot of thermal energy, energy which is transformed in kinetic energy through the nozzle and exits at the back. gas therefore gains velocity which means it gains momentum. the plane gains the same momentum in the opposite direction

rocket.... fuel is mixed and burn in the combustion chamber and forms a highly energetic gas. gas is accelerated (thermal energy converted into kinetic energy) through the nozzle and exits at the back. gas gains momentum, the rocket gains the same momentum in the opposite direction

They heat up the air, causing it to expand and go out the back of the engine, and since the air gained momentum, the plane must gain momentum in the opposite direction, it doesn't matter what happens to the air once it leaves the engine.
And again,
1. If you have a container of air in a vacuum and you make a hole in it, the air will go out the hole.
2. Since to move out of the hole the air gains velocity, so it gains momentum.

No, planes don't work by sucking in gas and blowing it out in the other direction. Planes simply push gas out of the back which creates a lower pressure at the front which is constantly filled by in-rushing atmospheric pressure. No sucking going on.  It's all pushing.
Rockets carry gas with them to aid in throwing (pushing) out the thrust required to hit the atmosphere and create a massive compression of it which creates an equal massive pressure squeeze and push, back.
If the rocket didn't carry the pressurised gas then burning fuel would simply fall into atmosphere and blow the rocket to bits.
That's why bottle rockets work with compressed air and water and do not work by simply tipping up a water bottle and letting it just flow with no compressed air, because the force is unable to overcome the density of the fuel and rocket frame.
Think carefully about it.



Also
1. If you have a container of air in a vacuum and you make a hole in it, the air will go out the hole.
If you have a container of air and pierced that container in a vacuum, then you lose all of your air to that vacuum because it's allowed to FREELY EXPAND into it due to no resistance offered.
If you did this in atmosphere, you would hear a huge hissing sound. Why? it's because the compressed air is hitting resistance of atmosphere outside and is being squeezed with friction, creating the sound and a reactionary force.



2. Since to move out of the hole the air gains velocity, so it gains momentum.
It simply expands into the lesser resistance, molecule by molecule.
Think of it like this.
Imagine sitting on 5 footballs. Each of those 5 footballs are compressed due to your dense frame being pushed down onto them. You decide to get up. Which football moves first?
Obviously it's the top one followed by the one underneath....Why?
Because you allowed the top one to fully expand and because it did, the one under can now expand and so on and so on.
If you did this in a vacuum you would end up with a neat line of expanded footballs (assuming the fantasy scenario analogy) and no work being done, except expansion FREELY.

3. Since the air gains momentum, an object must gain momentum in the opposite direction.
What object other than the container could gain that momentum.
The only way you can gain anything from air is by unbalancing pressure. Wind is a classic case.
How often do you see a wind blowing you backwards and you resist it?
You are creating a dense force against that wind.
Imagine that wind was being pushed down onto you from above by a fan and you hold a board up and push back  against that fan? you push it up as it pushes you down.
This is basically a helicopter or a rocket. the only different is in the burning of the fuel to create two different thrusts.
Helicopter is internal burn and mechanical ( rotor blades) thrust against atmosphere and the rocket is an external thrust by fuel burn against atmosphere.

Put either of these in a vacuum and your action/reaction force becomes zero. No work done.

I'm 100% clear on how action/reaction works. It can only work if an atmosphere is present. Nothing works without it, not even ships or submarines.
There is no energy that can work unless there is an atmospheric action and an equal and opposite reaction to that immediate action.
It's the perfect marriage of life and energetic movement.


The next time you ride a bicycle, have a think as to why you can actually ride it and why people who say that air resistance hampers your movement, are wrong - unless you ride against the wind which is only a pressure differential anyway.

Now let me tell you something extremely important whilst you ponder over how the bicycle works with action/reaction of atmosphere.

You know when you see a rocket on a launch pad made for TV?
You always see these large sky scraper sized rockets ascend from the launch pad at bicycle speed, right?
Well right there your alarm bells should have been ringing like crazy.
 Why?

Let me explain by using a car setting off on a journey with you in it.
Once the car accelerates, you agree that it's pushing into the atmosphere and is compressing it and making that atmosphere spill over and around the car, as well as under, marginally.
What is happening is that compressed air is cascading over the car and leaving a low pressure void at the very back. This is due to your car never equalising the pressure as long as it's headed into the atmosphere in front of it.

For this to happen, your car must guzzle plenty of air which it does through your grill but that's  not important right now.
Now picture your car doing this speed and imagine trying to throw out a scarf or even a dummy person, but holding onto one end. What happens and why?

You can agree that the scarf of dummy would cling to the side of your car. This is because the air you are crashing into and compressing, you are sending around the car and creating a gripping pressure down the sides because it's compressing the air that you are constantly passing, which is pushing back onto the sides of your car and in doing so,, it's pinning the scarf/dummy to it as long as you hold one end.

It creates stability. It's why a motorbike gets more stable the faster you go and why you tend to wobble like hell the slower you go.

Well start to think back to that rocket and it's bicycle take off speed. What do you get?
You get a wobbling rocket that would be flat on the launch pad in seconds and rendered useless.
There's a reason why missiles take off like  a bat out of hell.
There's a reason why your part fireworks hit the sky in seconds before exploding into glittery niceties.

STABILITY AT SPEED.
Rockets use full thrust to weight ratio. They don't throttle up to speed like the bullshit artists tell you. They either take off  and hit the heights in short order or they sit and explode.

The only people who would sit atop those so called space venturing rockets if they were real, are those that were forcibly put into them or dumb enough not to understand what the hell they stepped into, because only death awaits once the engines fire.

End result? EASY. Whenever you watch a rocket launch, make sure it launches like a bat out of hell from a springboard start and if it doesn't and you see it just saunter past the launch tower, just enjoy it for what it is, which is a made for TV fantasy rocket.

The next time you ride a bicycle, have a think as to why you can actually ride it and why people who say that air resistance hampers your movement, are wrong - unless you ride against the wind which is only a pressure differential anyway.
no, it's air resistance and it happens everytime you have a body moving thorugh air. actually everytime a body is moving thorugh a fluid resistance is created

Now picture your car doing this speed and imagine trying to throw out a scarf or even a dummy person, but holding onto one end. What happens and why?
You can agree that the scarf of dummy would cling to the side of your car. This is because the air you are crashing into and compressing, you are sending around the car and creating a gripping pressure down the sides because it's compressing the air that you are constantly passing, which is pushing back onto the sides of your car and in doing so,, it's pinning the scarf/dummy to it as long as you hold one end.

no, it's due to the drag of the scarf in combination with boundary layer around the car. boundary layer is created every time u have movement of a body thorugh a viscous fluid

It creates stability. It's why a motorbike gets more stable the faster you go and why you tend to wobble like hell the slower you go.
no, the stability of a motorbike depends mainly on the gyroscopic effect of the wheels. the principle is that rotational inertia tends to keep the rotation axis  of the gyro fix. the faster it spin, the higher the inertia, the higher the stability.
gyros are used frequently to increase stability. rifled barrel are more precise cause the give a spin to the bullet which becomes a gyro and remains more stable

STABILITY AT SPEED.
Rockets use full thrust to weight ratio. They don't throttle up to speed like the bullshit artists tell you. They either take off  and hit the heights in short order or they sit and explode.
starting to think u have no clue what is thrust to weight ratio.
they accelerate slowly cause they're incredibly heavy and u know, more weight=more inertia.

How does air pressure move a 2,000 ton rocket?
By energy pushed into it. It's no different to your aircraft carrier floating on water and being propelled along it.
Boats float by displacement. That has nothing to do with rockets.

Quote
The only difference to the eye is one is horizontal and one is vertical. The propulsion on the ship can be changed to a jet if so desired, if you think a propeller confuses you.
No, a jet works by ejecting mass at high speed.

Quote
Your rocket has to externally burn it's fuel whilst the ship can internally burn it's fuel to operate a propeller.
Rockets burn fuel internally in the combustion chamber.

The force you applied is gone when you enter the air.

This is not even the start of a physical explanation. :D :D
I can tell simple concepts are your your head.

Quote
Quote
But you were able to create a force strong enough to defeat gravity.

No; the force I applied is beating atmospheric pressure. Gravity cannot be beaten.
Did you jump? Also we are talking about gravity, atmospheric pressure has nothing to do with this conversation. 

Quote
It's obvious you've never dived in your life.

For diving you need lead weights to get down. If not, you will simply move to the surface as the air and water in your body is lighter than the water around you. Diving is not beating gravity either; it is beating the pressure.

When your body weight is higher than the pressure of the water, for instance when you die, the air is pushed out and replaced by water, you simply sink to the bottom. So still not beating gravity.

Quote
Gravity is still not a force.
Your body displaces it's weight in water. If you cannot displace your weight in water, then you sink.

Quote


You can't. You simply are attracted to the highest gravitational force around. In the "vicinity" of Earth that is the Earth-Moon gravitational system. No escape from that; you simply fall back to Earth and burn up in the atmosphere, like any other object. Meteors do it every day.
If you have sufficient lateral velocity when you "fall back to earth" you actually miss it. Thus, orbit.

Free Expansion of Gas in a Vacuum destroys 'space-rocketry'.

End. Of. Story.

Time for your medicine, shpayze-tards:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

actually propellant exiting the barrel has mass and velocity, hence momentum. so for conservation of momentum u have recoil even when firing blanks....just a lot less

Make sure your chamber is is large enough and has been allowed to evacuate by use of a strong pump and making sure that pump is still allowing evacuation as you set the rocket in supposed motion.

I'm curious, what is the speed at which gas expands in the vacuum of space? Is it instantaneous? If you propose it is instantaneous, does that mean you have found something that travels faster than light? If its not instantaneous then would that mean there is a time period in which the combustion chamber and nozzle contain a gas mixture even if they are exposed to the vacuum of space?

It is not that gas cannot do work in a vacuum. It is that gas does no work when expanding into an evacuated chamber because all of the effect net to zero.

What, exactly, is in that 'evacuated chamber' that the gas does no work whilst expanding into?

Could it be a vacuum?

Why yes; yes it IS a vacuum.

free expansion is performed when gas expands from an insulated chamber into another insulated chamber in which there was vacuum.

Because of Free Expansion of Gases in a Vacuum, and because Newton's 3rd Law states that without an extrinsic mass for the gas in the rocket to create a reaction against, no motion can be produced (a vacuum has no mass or pressure btw, markjo; just fyi).

Mass flow means that the total mass of rocket is decreasing, so we have dm/dt  ≠ 0 (It's actually negative!).  With me so far? 
But force = dp/dt where p = mv = momentum.
The momentum of the rocket is decreasing, so there must be a force f = dm/dt x ve, where ve is the exhaust velocity. 
Note that the exhaust gases are not in a vacuum until they have left the rocket, and they are leaving at a high, but finite velocity (our ve - modified by a bit of thermal velocity!).  These gasses will eventually diffuse into you wonderful infinite void of space, but not instantaneously.

There is another term involving the exhaust and external pressures, but you couldn't handle that just yet without blowing a gasket!  Mind you this last term tells us that the thrust of a rocket increases as the external pressure falls, and that is exactly what happens in practice.

And what 'momentum' anyway?

In the case of a rocket stationary in a vacuum, it has no momentum.

So; we open the fuel valve; what happens?

Nothing.

Because of Free Expansion.

Or: take a bottle of water, hold it upside-down & allow the water to drain out.

Its mass is also decreasing, but is it gaining 'momentum' in the opposite direction?

Will it shoot into space?

No, it will not.

The same thing applies to a gas-powered rocket in a vacuum.

It will simply leak its fuel away until internal & external pressures are equalised & go nowhere in the interim.

As usual, you think you are being clever, but you are not.

mass*velocity, it's an important part of physics, you probably haven't heard of it.

In the case of a rocket stationary in a vacuum, it has no momentum.
Yes a stationary object has no momentum.

So; we open the fuel valve; what happens?

Nothing.

Because of Free Expansion.
When a gas expands freely is is no momentum gained or lost by the gas, this is correct, but the gas doesn't expand freely, does it. The gas will expand in all directions, but in most of it is blocked by the walls of the chamber.
A gas in a container will exert the same pressure on all of the walls, and the walls extert an equal pressure back on the gas, when a hole is made there is then nothing to push back on the gas, so the pressure of the gas will cause the gas to leak out of the hole, and since the gas is only moving in one direction, there is a change in momentum.
You wanted a fluid machinics equation, here's one, Momentum=pressure*area*time, the pressure moving the gas out is only acting towards the hole. In free expansion the net pressure is equal, in a container with a hole it isn't
Again, the gas is only moving out of the chamber in one direction, so it only gains momentum in one direction
Or: take a bottle of water, hold it upside-down & allow the water to drain out.

Its mass is also decreasing, but is it gaining 'momentum' in the opposite direction?

Will it shoot into space?
Is the pressure of the water causing it to leave the bottle, no it's gravity, so the equal opposite force pair is with the planet, but since the planet has so much mass it can absorb momentum without moving more than 5.972Χ10^-24m per Nm.
Or in your flat earth model, by holding the bottle your causing it to accelerate upwards away from the water it contains.

Free expansion occurs after the gasses leave the nozzle.  Mass flow occurs from the propellant tanks to the end of the nozzle.  For the most part, nobody cares what happens after the gasses leave the nozzle because there is no way for those gasses to physically interact with the rocket.  It's while the gasses are still inside the rocket engine where all of the physical interaction occurs.

If you say gas can't have momentum (for some magic reason you haven't given), then a plane violates conservation of momentum, because when a plane accelerates it would be gaining forward momentum while nothing gains a backwards momentum.

Not really true; you know nothing of scientific experimentation, do you, Hypnotoad?

But anyway, in an infinite vacuum such as we are told 'space' is, how is heat transferred into or out of the system?

Do you have any reply that doesn't boil down to 'NO U!!!', Hypnotoad from Hypnotoad hall'

Plus a link/youtube of shit you don't really understand yourself, of course?

Pathetic.

Eat this:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

If you say gas can't have momentum (for some magic reason you haven't given), then a plane violates conservation of momentum, because when a plane accelerates it would be gaining forward momentum while nothing gains a backwards momentum.

Idiot.


Time for a Physics lesson:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

So gasses can gain momentum, so unless you can answer the plane question, gases can gain momentum.

Basically the problem is solved, if a gas doesn't follow conservation of momentum you can violate conservation of momentum, which is impossible.
This means that when a gas leaves a container in a vacuum, it causes the container to move in the opposite direction.
If only solids have momentum then,
Planes violate conservation of momentum.
Spray a jet of water into a sub zero room, the water has no momentum, but when it freezes the ice has momentum that has come from nowhere. 
So since fluids having no momentum causes a contradiction, fluids must be able to have momentum. Therefore rockets work and PL is a retard.

So are you saying the air gains momentum.
In space the ship has the gas with it, when the gas is released into space the particles accelerate towards the vacuum, so the gas gains momentum, meaning the ship must gain momentum.
The simplest way to look at it is that you have a container of air in a vacuum, the net velocity of the particals in the container is zero, When a hole opens, the air will move out the hole, so the net velocity has changed, this means the momentum has changed, so the containers momentum must change. Velocity and momentum does apply to any particle.

Air on Earth gains momentum. It's called wind.
Your space is an entirely different concept.

Your gas is inside your SEALED ship. You are situated in your space vacuum or near vacuum as we are told.
If you open that ship at any point, you do not have an opposite force to counteract the FREELY EXPANDING GAS coming out of that rocket.
It's like me punching you on Earth. My fist is the exiting gas and your face is the atmosphere. My fist keeps hitting your face and your face creates a resistance to my fist.
Put us in your space and my fist in the gas in the rocket. Your face is space.
The rocket is opened up and my fist goes to punch you in your face but your face is a hologram so my fist just goes right through it because it creates no reactive force. My fist just happily disappeared into space.

Don't fight it; use it as a stepping stone to realising how much you've been duped by the people who adorn their white coats with silly letters to make you feel you are being told the truth by some expert, when the stark reality for these space boffins is they are space bafflers.

Free expansion does not mean the gas magically accelerates requiring no force or transfer of momentum. Stop clinging onto this fantasy.

The vacuum simply presents no resistance to the gas ie once it moves into the vacuum there is no force slowing it down BUT in order to exit the rocket a net amount of force is required to move the gas in that direction as per F=ma. Newtons third gives us equal and opposite force so therefore force must act on the rocket opposite to the force acting on the gas.

Do yourself a favour and actually absorb and really think about what's getting said. I'm going to pretend your space exists for the sake of clarity to your questions. The reality would be extreme low pressure but we won't argue that.

 
1. If you have a container of air in space and a hole is made, the air will move out of the hole.
Correct.

2. The change in pressure between the air and vacuum will cause the air to accelerate as it leaves, because force=pressure*area=mass*acceleration
Now this is where you need to grasp it because I think you're allowing yourself to get sandwiched between sea level atmosphere and a container and space and a container.
This is where you need to understand FREE EXPANSION because if you do, you will understand why you get no work done as Papa has been trying to tell you all.

Once you open that container of gas, the very first molecules will FREELY EXPAND into the vacuum because there is nothing to stop them doing that. there is no resistance.
Now you have to understand a chain reaction here, because once those gas molecules expand or start to, the ones behind it expand and those behind that.
There can be no leverage from the back for this to happen because those at the back are still compressed and are just waiting in line to expand out in a follow the leader type fashion. A sort of last man out, stinks.

Think of a football crowd all stood on steps (in the older days). Everyone is fine until those at the back are added to by more fans squeezing in behind them. Because the terrace is enclosed, everyone is being compressed and will stay compressed until someone opens gates at the front.
Only then will those at the front decompress onto the pitch whilst all the rest follow.
The only difference is, they have solid ground to fall onto and into, whereas in space there's no resistance to that fall, so it's a FREE EXPANSION into the void that offers zero resistance, just a one way ticket to oblivion.

3. Since the gas is accelerating, it gains momentum.
It gains momentum to where?
Think about what I said.

Nope. Only  in a SEALED container is there equal resistance.
At sea level you can open that container which the gases will expand from into it, creating an atmospheric resistance to that expansion.
In your space vacuum you have none of that. You lose all of the gas due to FREE EXPANSION which means there is no work done at all.

Why would the gas that is EXPANDING, FREELY, out of the rocket, ENCOUNTERING NO RESISTANCE as it does so, somehow  impart a 'force' BACK upon it as it leaves?
The "resistance" is on the pressurized side, so that's where the work is done, not on the vacuum side.
Nope. Only  in a SEALED container is there equal resistance.
A sealed container with equal resistance is in a state of equilibrium.  There is no work done in a state of equilibrium.  It's only when the resistance is not equal that can work be done.

Why does there need to be resistance outside the box when the work is being done inside the box?

Learnt the difference between Static & Dynamic pressure yet?
Static pressure is the pressure exerted by a stationary fluid and is often referred to simply as pressure.  Dynamic pressure is essentially the kinetic energy contained in a (generally incompressible) fluid.

As for the combustion chamber in your photo, it is the first stage to the Ariane 5 launch system.  The second stage is [GASP!] a hypergolic engine in the de Laval design family.  So...tell me again why my ignition procedure is not correct?

When the gas leaves the rocket, it gains momentum.
So for rockets to be unable to work,  conservation of momentum is violated, meaning in you made up physics, the laws aren't space invariant. Well done, you made a theory that can't work. We should put you up on the wall of idiots that can't do science, right next to Samuel Rowbotham.

Here's a web page with the explanation, and accompanying maths, of how a rocket works in space. Paraphrasing from the material;

Rocket physics, in the most basic sense, involves the application of Newton's Laws to a system with variable mass. A rocket has variable mass because its mass decreases over time, as a result of its fuel (propellant) burning off.

A rocket obtains thrust by the principle of action and reaction (Newton's third law). As the rocket propellant ignites, it experiences a very large acceleration and exits the back of the rocket (as exhaust) at a very high velocity. This backwards acceleration of the exhaust exerts a "push" force on the rocket in the opposite direction, causing the rocket to accelerate forward. This is the essential principle behind the physics of rockets, and how rockets work.

Are you channelling markjo now, to ask me to repeat myself all the time?
Then why do you keep shitspamming repeating this all the time?
The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Ok let's have some logical truth from you.
What did Newton know about space vacuum or near  vacuum as we are told and what was the test he done to find that an object in motion stayed in motion when no reactionary force was acting upon it?

15th century Newton was hanging around, I'm told, so what did he use?
Title: Re: People on skateboards.
Post by: Empirical on January 10, 2016, 10:12:14 AM
He discovered that Force=mass*acceleration. So if Force is zero, acceleration is zero. No acceleration, no change in movement.
Don't know what test he did to prove F=ma, but if F=ma was wrong, you would expect a lot of skyscrapers to fall over because the calcuations to design them used F=ma.

About Newtonian mechanics and how it all works, that proves something to you.
Plenty of references available, no reason why they need to be written here. Tell us of any you disagree with.
Internet and libraries, schools and colleges, plus universities are full of all this stuff. I'm arguing against it, so tell me something. Why in the hell would I go and reference the very places that I believe stock misinformation ?
You could talk to people at your local college or university.  Better than here.

Free fucking expansion again. The expansion isn't free, the expansion happens inside of the rocket chamber, so it will expand into the walls, so pressure will be exerted on the walls.

Incorrect.

Massively & Deliberately so.

Shame on you.

Shame on you all.

Here is the formula for work done by a gas:

Work=pressure x increase in volume (W=pv).

When Pressure=Zero, as it must in an infinite vacuum, then Work=Zero.

The End.

Howl at Newton, Joules & Thomson, not I.

For it is their work you defy with every post.

Now; Carry On Lying!

So this is the sceptimatic of the "trapped air molecules" wanting out "so they expand due to the external pressure dropping" - the molecules expand!
Quote from: sceptimatic
If you look at vacuum chamber experiments, you will see that trapped air molecules want out, so they expand due to the external pressure dropping around them.
And again "expanded molecules".
Quote from: sceptimatic
so it leaves LESS but more expanded molecules
And again "expanded outer sponge balls", like SpongeBob I suppose.

your sponge balls can expand into the less expanded outer sponge balls

O rly?

Here's how well you understand free expansion, Walter Mitty:

I mean; look at this garbage:

Quote
Free expansion is an irreversible process in which a gas expands into an insulated evacuated chamber. It is also called Joule expansion.

It is not that gas cannot do work in a vacuum. It is that gas does no work when expanding into an evacuated chamber because all of the effect net to zero.

What, exactly, is in that 'evacuated chamber' that the gas does no work whilst expanding into?

Could it be a vacuum?

Why yes; yes it IS a vacuum.

Thus, mainframes completely contradicts himself in one sentence!

& what 'because all of the effect net to zero' means is anybody's guess...

He does this all the time, yet expects us to believe he has a masters in science...

Monster logic fail.

A fluid with mass is flowing through a De Laval nozzle.  How can mass flow not be relevant?

Because if it is in a vacuum then there will be no resistance to that mass.

Therefore the requirements of Newton 3 will not be fulfilled & no motion will be produced.

Free expansion doesn't become relevant until the gasses leave the nozzle.

Free Expansion will be relevant the moment the gasses enter the vacuum.

This is simple physics.

There is no magic cut-off point at the end of your silly 'nozzle'.

Gas does no work in a vacuum. Period.

If you deprive a fire of fuel it will go out.    One of the fuels is oxygen in the air.   Remove the oxygen and the fire goes out.   Some fires make their own oxygen,  they are harder to extinguish.  Like a magnesium fire,  it breaks down water into hydrogen and oxygen,  which is why you never put water on a magnesium fire.

Minor nit to pick.  Fire has 3 components: fuel, oxidizer and heat.  This is sometimes referred to as the fire triangle because if you remove any one component, the fire will go out.

No it doesn't, free expansion is NOT instantaneous, there is enough time to ignite the gases inside the combustion chamber. The fuel mixture is vented into the combustion chamber at a faster rate than it has to leave the chamber via free expansion.

If you deprive a fire of fuel it will go out.    One of the fuels is oxygen in the air.
Minor nit to pick.  Fire has 3 components: fuel, oxidizer and heat.  This is sometimes referred to as the fire triangle because if you remove any one component, the fire will go out.

Sorry if this was over your head Scepti.

Start with how it's achieved in Earth atmosphere
1.  Open the hypergolic fuel valve.
2.  Open the hypergolic oxidizer valve.
3.  Well...there is no 3.  There are only 2 steps to the ignition procedure of a hypergolic rocket engine.

tell me how it's achieved in your space.

Because if it is in a vacuum then there will be no resistance to that mass.
Therefore the requirements of Newton 3 will not be fulfilled & no motion will be produced.
Free expansion doesn't become relevant until the gasses leave the nozzle.
Free Expansion will be relevant the moment the gasses enter the vacuum.
This is simple physics.
There is no magic cut-off point at the end of your silly 'nozzle'.
But you will always be wrong.

"Because if it is in a vacuum then there will be no resistance to that mass.

Now Newton's third law has a rider! There must be "resistance to that mass.".

And gas is exempt from any relativistic speed limits!  Pity Einsten hadn't been told, he could have written that in!

A fluid with mass is flowing through a De Laval nozzle.  How can mass flow not be relevant?

Therefore the requirements of Newton 3 will not be fulfilled & no motion will be produced.
Please cite a reference showing that resistance is a requirement of Newton's 3rd law.

Tell me how combustion works?

It's just an exothermic chemical reaction.     Two or more chemicals reacting rapidly to produce reaction products   O2 + C  -> CO2     

There are many combinations of chemicals that react spontaneously when mixed.    Try adding glycerine to potassium permanganate.
Now tell me why it happens. Why does anything combust. Why does fire become fire in any form.

I'll start you off. It's called friction. Now why does anything combust due to friction?

Nope,  friction has nothing to do with  it,  it's  just breaking and establishing covalent bonds. (sharing valence electrons)  Whether it's exothermic or endothermic can be calculated from the bond energies,   Kcal/mole.
Ok you stick with that. Figuring out the simplest thing like why a candle goes out when subject to low pressure could have given you a massive clue as to why your fantasy rockets do not and never will work in what you believe to be that vacuum of space.

If you deprive a fire of fuel it will go out.    One of the fuels is oxygen in the air.   Remove the oxygen and the fire goes out.   Some fires make their own oxygen,  they are harder to extinguish.  Like a magnesium fire,  it breaks down water into hydrogen and oxygen,  which is why you never put water on a magnesium fire.
Think about how friction works to understand what I'm saying.

Free Expansion kills your silly shpayze-rokkits stone-dead.

No it doesn't, free expansion is NOT instantaneous, there is enough time to ignite the gases inside the combustion chamber. The fuel mixture is vented into the combustion chamber at a faster rate than it has to leave the chamber via free expansion.

So much wishful thinking & anti-science.

Gasses cannot exist in a vacuum, so how can you 'ignite' or 'combust' them therein.

This is basic stuff...

You REALLY do want your shpayze-shippz, no matter what physics says to the contrary, don't you?

You know; the bit you lot ignore where it talks about the mutual interactions of two bodies?

In a vacuum there is no second body, ergo no resistance to any action created by body one.

Ergo no interaction.

Ergo no motion.

Sharing electrons between atoms.

Sorry, forgot the why...   atoms mostly like to have 8 electrons in the outer shell.   The actual number is called the valence number,  for example  carbon has 4 valence electrons that it wants to share,  oxygen has six,  so
six plus 2 = 8, and so each carbon takes two oxygen,   that makes  CO2

Atoms that have a complete outer shell,  like argon, has 8 valence electrons,  so it doesn't react much with anything.

Nice forum signature, cucked-by-goats Rayzor; where'd you get it again?

LOL!!!

Anyhoo; just to remind all you shpayze-tards what real science looks like:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Here's a combustion chamber to laugh at too:

Repeat after me:
  • a vacuum has no magic properties.
  • a vacuum is only a region of extermely low pressure and cannot suck.
  • a vacuum cannot accelerate gas molecules, they simply travel at a velocity imparted to them combined with their random thermal velocity.
  • hence any concentration of gas molecules can only diffuse away with this velocity, modified by any collisions that occur
  • hence at the exhaust of a rocket there can be a large mass flow (say 5,000 kg/s) leaving at at very high velocity, (say 2,000 m/s).
  • therfore a rocket in a vacuum can generate a high thrust (here eg 5,000x2,000 N, or roughly 1,000,000 kg.

Doesn't the pressure difference mean the gas will accelerate, force=pressure*area, the force would cause the gas particles to accelerate, also the gas must be gaining momentum if the ship does.

Friction is just one way of supplying heat to start a fire.
Friction is the ONLY way to start a fire.

Let me explain why you can't make fire in an extreme low pressure environment. It's because the matter is so expanded it cannot create enough friction to sustain any burn as a thrust, because to have a thrust you have to have a mixture of matter that is compressed that is married with other compressed matter to gain the required friction release. You see this as a thrusting flame but it is friction glowing under extreme pressure.

Your camp fire is friction burning under much much less extreme friction, using compressed solid matter as it's release of expanding matter into gas. The height of the flame is dependent on the speed that the gas molecules are expanded into the atmosphere to expand that atmosphere to release the hydrogen from within it.
It's like trying to peel and open an orange to get top the pips, but knowing that when you do in the right environment, those pips will expand right out of that orange with such force, they friction glow and consume any solid matter until the energy is dissipated.

This is for free thinkers, although by all means, markjo, have a bash at it and see if you can grasp it. I have a feeling that it will be lost on you.

A rocket works in a vacuum because of newtons third law. "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction". You are still getting thrust because exhaust is still being thrown out of the rear of the rocket. Thus re-action is for the rocket to move opposite to the exhaust. Lets also not forget that NASA rockets are designed for it. Highly tuned nozzles are used to give maximum efficiency. Infact as stated they actually function better in a vacuum for the simple reason there is minimal resistance on the exhaust gas.

You cannot compare to an engine or propellor because thats sole job is to move water or air. A rocket is throwing exhaust gas out constantly and thus lift. Infact you are even confiming yourself that it will work. Propellor moves water produces thrust. Water is being thrown out the back, boat moves forward.

Rockets are taken up with their own air as it were so yes they are still able to burn.

Note to neutrals: free expansion is also known as Joules expansion or the Joules-Thomson effect. It states quite categorically that a gas can do no work in a vacuum.
Then it's a good thing that no one is claiming that it does.  We are claiming that the work is being done in the combustion chamber of the rocket engine, not in the vacuum of space.

You guys are confusing me. If the work, meaning what causes it to fly in a vacuum, is being done in the combustion chamber of the rocket engine and the expelling gasses out the nozzle is not doing any of the work, then it shouldn't matter where the exhaust nozzles are pointed. Simple little control surfaces should do the trick of steering it just fine. What I'm suggesting should also work just fine in the atmosphere as well. If not, Please explain.
The equal and opposite reaction is created when the exhaust leaves the nozzle. This has already been explained many times in the other thread. I also said to watch October Sky to see an explanation of nozzles.

I'm sorry I'm a little slow here, please be patient. I understand Newton's third law of motion, but that doesn't mean that the reaction in the opposite direction is doing any work. It is just wasted energy in the opposite direction in the form of exhaust. It can be diverted anywhere out the side of the rocket. If that is not the case then the exhaust is doing work by pushing against the ground and atmosphere and that means it must stay at the rear of the rocket facing the opposite direction.
The reaction in the opposite direction is of equal force. Therefore it creates acceleration.
Stand a heavy book up on a table. Now throw a ball at it. The ball bounces back and the book is pushed away. Equal and opposite forces. Now swap book with combustion chamber and ball with gas particle.

You cannot compare to an engine or propellor because thats sole job is to move water or air. A rocket is throwing exhaust gas out constantly and thus lift.

Rockets are taken up with their own air as it were so yes they are still able to burn.
Rocket engines don't create lift.  They create thrust.  Rockets don't take up air so it is 'able to burn'.  They carry oxidizer fuel so that the thrust can be produced.

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space. Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.
Bzzzt, wrong.
Let me put it in terms even someone of your low capacities can understand. A bucket with a big hole in the bottom can be filled by pouring in water faster than the water coming out of the hole in the bottom. Nod your head I can hear the hollow rattle from here.
The same concept applies to the fuel injected into the combustion chamber of a rocket motor.
End of argument, you loose.
Oh, and 60 odd years of space flight kinda piss all over your drivel.
Ok let me put this into your empty head.
Your bucket analogy would be your space and your rocket would be the water pouring vessel. This means that you have a infinite sized bucket with an in finite sized hole in it that?.........That?.......That cannot be filled.
It means that your water just pours into nothingness and becomes nothing, because nothing would be achieved.
The major problem here is, what I'm trying to tell you will get lost inside your empty head.
I know you were answering "SkepticMike" here, but the bucket analogy is not that bad!
Of course this bucket contains super-heated water at roughly 800 C (red hot) and at a pressure of 70 MPa (atmospheric pressure is about 101 kPa!) and it's a VERY BIG bucket, so get your head out quick like!  The hole in the bottom has an area of about 0.6 m2 - looks a big hole, but it's massive bucket!.  Yes, the engine I am describing burns LOX and LH2, so the combustion product is just very hot steam!
You are really going to tell me that with the combustion chamber at 70 MPa, going from sea-level (101 kPa) to a few hundred km up (roughly 0 kPa) can possibly make much difference to the mass flow rate.  Of course the nozzles used are de Laval (convergent-divergent) operating under choked conditions, so changing external pressure makes no difference at all to the mass flow rate!

So, yes it works fine in a vacuum.  I just wish people would get of of their minds that a vacuum is magic and can suck the contents out of a container instantly through the minutest hole.  It just ain't so.  Sure, as far as we know no life can exist in a vacuum.

And Papa, don't even bother replying, we've seen all you can offer dozens of times!

They think that the exhaust is part of the rocket, so if the exhaust pushes on the atmosphere then the atmosphere pushes back on the exhaust and therefore on the rocket.

Are you sokarul?

Cos that's about his level of dumbness.

We're back to where we were months ago: 'I cannot see the atmosphere therefore it does not exist'.

Rockets work by creating pressure against the medium upon which they move.

The same way every single thing on Earth does.

End of story.

Of course the nozzles used are de Laval (convergent-divergent) operating under choked conditions, so changing external pressure makes no difference at all to the mass flow rate!

Even if that weren't a flat-out lie (which it is), mass-flow rate is irrelevant to the functioning of a gas-powered rocket in a vacuum.

Because of Newton's 3rd Law & Free Expansion of gas in a vacuum.

Basic physics, in fact.

And Papa, don't even bother replying, we've seen all you can offer dozens of times!

Thought-Police Alert!

We've seen all you can offer even more, as you use a variety of sock-puppets to reinforce your pseudo-scientific brainwashing.

But good to see I've got you so rattled you want to censor me.

Cos yeah; that means you must be right!

Lol no it does not!

They think that the exhaust is part of the rocket

Well nothing else creates the damn thing, Hypnotoad!

Or do you believe there is another, invisible, rocket, somehow following the visible one immediately behind & directing its exhaust upon it?

What a massive cunALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!!!

There is no solid evidence for your space rocket. Only lies and misinformation.

A rocket has oxidiser with fuel so it produces thrust against a resistance. That resistance is atmosphere.
In your fantasy space you have none of that, so your rocket is going nowhere.
The reality is that your rocket goes vertical from the ground for a small amount of time and then it arcs. It arcs because it has no more power to go vertical.
It then hits its point of full on energy then arcs back down into the drink..

Your space rocket has as much power as a shadow boxer knocking his own shadow out.
Your Earth rocket has enough power to ascend like a fire work, before being spent in short  order.

Now pay attention to real and fake rockets.

The clue is in the maximum thrust that springboards the real rockets/missiles into the air, as opposed to the bicycle speed motion of  the Hollywood special effect one's.


Real rockets and missiles.
In this video of a large model rocket launch, you will notice the springboard effect lift off. There's a very good reason as to why this and any other rocket has to lift off like this. It's called atmospheric stability.
Basically a vertical fairly well balanced dart, if you like.
! No longer available (http://#)

This next video of a large model shuttle  is similar. It springboards into the sky because it has to for stability of vertical flight, as I mentioned.
Real rockets. It matters not about size because all rockets have to springboard to gain immediate stability at full thrust.

Now let's look at the Hollywood bicycle start rockets. If these rockets were real, they would be covering the launch site in scrap metal and fuel.
No way in hell could something like this reach atmospheric stability.

Correct. Nothing is directly acting on the rocket. The rocket shifts because it expands it's fuel and oxy at huge thrust against a dense atmosphere which is compressed by the huge expansion of gases exiting the nozzle.
Notice I said EXITING.
The end result is the atmosphere acts like a barrier and creates a one potato two potato type resistance to the thrust against it.
Basically the atmosphere squeezes back against the thrust.

If that thrust had to react against that rocket like you're told, it would blow the rocket to smithereens.

Also, people that disagree with you are not liars, they, and they seem to be in the majority, just honestly believe that you are absolutely wrong.
BTW:  In case you hadn't heard it before even jet engines in aircraft are reaction engines and work better at high altitude, a limit is reached when they can't get enough intake air. 
The rocket of course does not have that limitation, which is why it is used to launch high altitude vehicles.  Please note that there is little doubt that many rockets are launched to over 100,000 ft - and there ain't much air there!

Wait.... you think they would stick a human being in a rocket that takes of....well..... like a rocket? can you imagine the G loading?

You really need to stop and think before posting such bollocks.

like I said your all bollocks and no jizz.
Sometimes you really do have to think for yourself. I can't babysit you for everything.
No human beings get into rockets.
And yes I could imagine the G force, which is only one reason why no human or anything else goes in them.

Keep your rockets to Hollywood sauntering motion with a few pictures of the cramped actornought's inside some Earth container and it's all smiles for the world. No harm done. No one hurt. No expensive rockets wasted. All is well. Just a few tax dollars a piece for  the population every time they pull this stuff out of the hat.

Sceptimatic...Wow... Are you really this dumb?

I tell you what then. Let's take a gun. Let's fire it in space. Will you still get recoil? Yes you will.

A rocket will work in space. It is ejecting/accelerating matter out of the back. Which is passing through a highly tuned nozzle. So its effectively a steady beam of matter.

This is STS 134 launch. Its destination is the ISS. There are other videos of it docking. Also look at a docking video. You will be able to see the position adjusting jets.. And you can watch the reason why this works yourself.

Or wait is this NASA trickery????????

Let's take a gun. Let's fire it in space. Will you still get recoil? Yes you will.
Already dealt with, dyslexia-face.

Please read & learn:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Such beautiful choice of words.

To produce thrust the rocket is effectively an explosion acting on all sides of the internals of the chamber. Fuel and oxidizer are mixed and exploded in the combustion chamber and then accelerated through a highly tuned nozzle. The combustion chamber is actually subject to a continuous increase of pressure.  You can say its like pushing someone in space. They move. But with a rocket instead of you pushing your friend (and your friends mass pushing back). You have the walls of the combustion chamber pushing back against the continuous explosion. Thus something is going to move, given it then gets accelerated out the nozzle the way its going to move is forwards...

You do realise what your saying means nothing? These are combustion chambers equipped with pumps and all to inject up to 900 odd lbs of liquid oxygen/hydrogen per second.

Sorry, but free expansion does not say that the gas does no work.  Free expansion says that the total work done is zero.  Then again, you don't understand the conservation of momentum either so I'm not sure that I should expect you to understand the difference between no work and zero total work.

I'm not sure why I would need to do better since you have yet to show a single credible source that agrees with your assertion that free expansion applies to De Laval nozzles in a near infinite vacuum.

In other words, if it's your word against the word of the entire scientific community, then I'm going to believe the entire scientific community.

BTW, real gasses change temperature during free expansion which suggests that work is indeed being done.

Take your circle-jerk logic elsewhere, hypnotoad.

As for Rayzor & Skepticmike (G'day!): the saddest sight on the internet is that of a man trying to win a 'debate' by conversing with himself via sock-puppet...

Now, here is a post by sceptimatic full of content that you all continue to ignore:

 There is no solid evidence for your space rocket. Only lies and misinformation.

A rocket has oxidiser with fuel so it produces thrust against a resistance. That resistance is atmosphere.
In your fantasy space you have none of that, so your rocket is going nowhere.
The reality is that your rocket goes vertical from the ground for a small amount of time and then it arcs. It arcs because it has no more power to go vertical.
It then hits its point of full on energy then arcs back down into the drink..

Your space rocket has as much power as a shadow boxer knocking his own shadow out.
Your Earth rocket has enough power to ascend like a fire work, before being spent in short  order.

Now pay attention to real and fake rockets.

The clue is in the maximum thrust that springboards the real rockets/missiles into the air, as opposed to the bicycle speed motion of  the Hollywood special effect one's.


Real rockets and missiles.
In this video of a large model rocket launch, you will notice the springboard effect lift off. There's a very good reason as to why this and any other rocket has to lift off like this. It's called atmospheric stability.
Basically a vertical fairly well balanced dart, if you like.
! No longer available (http://#)

This next video of a large model shuttle  is similar. It springboards into the sky because it has to for stability of vertical flight, as I mentioned.
Real rockets. It matters not about size because all rockets have to springboard to gain immediate stability at full thrust.
! No longer available (http://#)

Now let's look at the Hollywood bicycle start rockets. If these rockets were real, they would be covering the launch site in scrap metal and fuel.
No way in hell could something like this reach atmospheric stability.

Simply ridiculous.

! No longer available (http://#)


Check as many as you want out. It's as clear as day how ridiculous it all is.

Now there are hundreds and hundreds of rocket/missile launches from as many countries as you care to think of.
How many are reality and how many are simply for effect, is anyone's guess.
What they aren't, are SPACE rockets/missiles.
Space rockets do no and have never, existed.  And never will.

Of course it arcs over, you blithering idiot!  Where do you think it's heading - straight for the moon, no into orbit, that's around the earth, is case you hadn't heard.
And you evidence for "it has no more power to go vertical.  It then hits its point of full on energy then arcs back down into the drink..".  No, it stops going vertical because that's what the mission profile calls for! But of course Papa's right. he doesn't need evidence, he just has a squiz at it and knows!

Ah, ah - just by eyeing it off our wonderful Papa's eye can tell they need a "springboard" (I know, these are all scepti's ideas, but I thought you would like to bathe in the glory!)
Just what springboard do they use to chuck them up - is it the BIG 10 metre one?
Maybe it's just that large vehicles have a very large mass (duh) and do accelerate slowly at first, but what's the problem - are you scared they'll tip over, maybe we should get you up there to hold them up while they build up speed, might as well get some use out of you!

No, they don't need "holding up".  Either gimbaled rocket motors (Shuttle SRB nozzles can be gymbaled up to 8°) or vanes in the exhaust stream are used to "steer" the rocket throughout the flight.  Plenty of early, and not so early, launches failed spectacularly for this reason because of stability problems.  The dynamics are not easy, a bit like balancing a massive broomstick on your finger.

Of course there is no need for all of because the resident rocket experts "septi" and "papa" can just eyeball a rocket and tell if the springboard is strong enough!  Just takes one (or two) BSEBs (British Standard Eye Balls - there is probably a US equivalent) - of course in Australia we don't have all that trouble, we just take a bopeep at it and say "She'll be rite mite!"

I hope you are keeping a list, because you say I'm so many different people I am getting confused.  I sure hope you are keeping count!  Maybe better tell me sometime. 
In the meantime, I do hereby solemnly swear that, to the best of my knowledge, I am me and not any other person than me!  Now where's a JP when you need one (you might call that a Notary Public).
No, we do not work together.  It could be that we think along similar lines because we are right, and as such have our story (more or less) straight.

I know these references are a bit of a trivial for someone of your scientific acumen, but I would trust them more than than your old kiddie stuff:
Quote
from: http://www.explainthatstuff.com/jetengine.html (http://www.explainthatstuff.com/jetengine.html)  A jet engine is a machine for turning fuel into thrust (forward motion). The thrust is produced by action and reaction—a piece of physics also known as Newton's third law of motion. The force (action) of the exhaust gases pushing backward produces an equal and opposite force (reaction) called thrust that powers the vehicle forward. Exactly the same principle pushes a skateboard forward when you kick backward with your foot. In a jet engine, it's the exhaust gas that provides the "kick". Let's have a look inside the engine...

Quote
from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine)]  A jet engine is a reaction engine discharging a fast moving jet that generates thrust by jet propulsion in accordance with Newton's laws of motion. This broad definition of jet engines includes turbojets, turbofans, rockets, ramjets, and pulse jets. In general, jet engines are combustion engines but non-combusting forms also exist.
In common parlance, the term jet engine loosely refers to an internal combustion airbreathing jet engine (a duct engine). These typically consist of an engine with a rotary (rotating) air compressor powered by a turbine ("Brayton cycle"), with the leftover power providing thrust via a propelling nozzle.

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Stop this idiocy.  All you are proving is that journalists (and Papa Legba) often not quite accurate.  How many jorrnalists would know about Newton's 3rd Law if they tripped over it.  You explain every last detail to them, and they go write what they like, because it sounds more exciting, or easier for the "hoi polloi" to understand it.  Popular science and mechanics are not immune from that problem.

Anyhow, here is a post by sceptimatic full of content that you all continue to ignore:

 "There is no solid evidence for your space rocket. Only lies and misinformation.

A rocket has oxidiser with fuel so it produces thrust against a resistance. That resistance is atmosphere.
In your fantasy space you have none of that, so your rocket is going nowhere.
The reality is that your rocket goes vertical from the ground for a small amount of time and then it arcs. It arcs because it has no more power to go vertical.
It then hits its point of full on energy then arcs back down into the drink..

Your space rocket has as much power as a shadow boxer knocking his own shadow out.
Your Earth rocket has enough power to ascend like a fire work, before being spent in short  order.

Now pay attention to real and fake rockets.

The clue is in the maximum thrust that springboards the real rockets/missiles into the air, as opposed to the bicycle speed motion of  the Hollywood special effect one's.


Real rockets and missiles.
In this video of a large model rocket launch, you will notice the springboard effect lift off. There's a very good reason as to why this and any other rocket has to lift off like this. It's called atmospheric stability.
Basically a vertical fairly well balanced dart, if you like.
! No longer available (http://#)

This next video of a large model shuttle  is similar. It springboards into the sky because it has to for stability of vertical flight, as I mentioned.
Real rockets. It matters not about size because all rockets have to springboard to gain immediate stability at full thrust.
! No longer available (http://#)

Now let's look at the Hollywood bicycle start rockets. If these rockets were real, they would be covering the launch site in scrap metal and fuel.
No way in hell could something like this reach atmospheric stability.

! No longer available (http://#)

Simply ridiculous.

! No longer available (http://#)


Check as many as you want out. It's as clear as day how ridiculous it all is.

Now there are hundreds and hundreds of rocket/missile launches from as many countries as you care to think of.
How many are reality and how many are simply for effect, is anyone's guess.
What they aren't, are SPACE rockets/missiles.
Space rockets do no and have never, existed.  And never will".

There is 100% evidence for space rockets. Flat Earthers only provide lies and misinformation.

A rocket has oxidiser with fuel so it produces thrust against a resistance. That resistance is the rocket itself.
In real space the vacuum is irrelevent, so your rocket is going places.
The reality is that your rocket goes vertical from the ground for a small amount of time and then it arcs. It arcs because it has an orbital trajectory.
It then hits its escape velocity and manuvers into an orbital trajectory around the earth.

The Saturn V space rocket had as much power as 543 jet fighters.
The Apollo 11 rocket has enough power to put man on the moon.

Real rockets and missiles.
In this video of a large model rocket launch, you will notice the power to weight ratio allows the model rocket to lift off like this.
Basically a vertical fairly well balanced dart, if you like.

! No longer available (http://#)

This next video of a large model shuttle  is similar. It springboards into the sky because it has a really high power to weight ratio. it has wings and fins for stability of vertical flight in the atmosphere.
Real rockets are made of a lot heavier material and have a much lower power to weight ratio than model rockets. It matters a lot about size because model rockets power to weight ratio is far greater than real rockets and can accelerate a lot faster than real rockets from standing still.

 (http://#)

Now let's look at some real rockets. Notice the precision engineering used in the construction of the launch area so a little damage is caused as possible.
No way in hell could something this powerful not accelerate to reach orbital trajectory.

 (http://#)

Simply breathtaking.

 (http://#)

Check as many as you want out. It's as clear as day how wonderful it all is.

Now there are hundreds and thousands of rocket/missile launches from as many countries as you care to think of.
Many are real rockets and many are model rockets simply for enjoyment.
What they are, is space rockets/missiles and model rockets.
Space rockets have been around for almost 6 decades.

Just in case you had forgotten,  the rocket and jet engines push against the thousands of kilograms of burnt fuel plus extra air in the bypass jet pushed very rapidly out the back.    Just remember gases have mass and are just as much covered by Newton's 3rd Law as solids and liquids.

A rocket will work in space. It is ejecting/accelerating matter out of the back. Which is passing through a highly tuned nozzle. So its effectively a steady beam of matter.

This is STS 134 launch. Its destination is the ISS. There are other videos of it docking. Also look at a docking video. You will be able to see the position adjusting jets.. And you can watch the reason why this works yourself.

Or wait is this NASA trickery????????


I'v e seen docking videos of shuttles in the film "Armageddon." I've seen many more docking videos in films. Are they real?

Sceptimatic...Wow... Are you really this dumb?

I tell you what then. Let's take a gun. Let's fire it in space. Will you still get recoil? Yes you will.

A rocket will work in space. It is ejecting/accelerating matter out of the back. Which is passing through a highly tuned nozzle. So its effectively a steady beam of matter.

This is STS 134 launch. Its destination is the ISS. There are other videos of it docking. Also look at a docking video. You will be able to see the position adjusting jets.. And you can watch the reason why this works yourself.

Or wait is this NASA trickery????????


I'v e seen docking videos of shuttles in the film "Armageddon." I've seen many more docking videos in films. Are they real?
Don't tell me, you're going to say, " yeah but people have seen real life space rocket launches" and all the rest of it.
Can't you see how easy it is to brainwash you?

Anyway, about your gun and recoil in your space vacuum.
No gun is going too work in a vacuum.
This is where someone will put a video up of a man showing a gun inside a rectangular perspex box, as though it's a space vacuum. Then he'll fire the gun.

Sometimes you just need to  sit back and  realise that those people you trust so dearly, can and do tell lies.
I hate to tell you this but your world is largely run by actors; mostly terrible actors.
Some of it is run by naivety of the parrots.
Very little of it is actually run on truthful science.

Ah you see, there's your problem, you have trouble telling fact from fiction, there should be some doctors in your local area that can help you with that.

As for gun recoil in a vacuum or in space, it does work, it even works if the gun fires blanks.
;D You stick to your star trek and comic book store. You're  beyond help.

Correct. Nothing is directly acting on the rocket.
Wow, so no force is acting on the rocket, so they don't even work in the atmosphere now. Lol.

It's called source criticism. Are the news reliable? Do they refer to a source, or do they only provide the news? Have they been wrong before? Can you find details of their source, and can you get information directly from the source? A lot of people does this, especially rivaling news providers. If it was exposed that a news provider provided false information they would loose a lot of credit and reputation. Sadly, sometimes multiple big news providers all make roughly the same mistake, which sadly means that their faults are less likely to be exposed and corrected. But if you put some effort into it you could check the credibility of all the big news providers yourself.

I was thinking more about evidence you can see with your own eyes.   Like proving combustion is a chemical reaction, not related to friction.
Have you ever created a fire by using wood and a rock by using friction, pressure and frequency of that friction and pressure?
Ever lit a match? You create a friction to cause a reaction.
Chemical reactions are friction reactions. It's just molecular agitation under pressure and frequencies in varying dense materials.
Your own eyes does not determine a chemical reaction. You have to ask yourself what a chemical reaction is. Just describe it as you view it with your own eyes, as you say.

  Like different sized rocks falling at the same acceleration.
Same acceleration from where? waist height?... head height? You see it determines what and how you want to interpret this rock falling.
You see,, there is always a dupe answer if they don't fall the same from a bigger height. Air resistance is used as the reason.
The funny thing is, this doesn't wake people up. It just gets accepted as some minor discrepancy to the bogus gravity. We will leave it at that.

Yep and a lot more besides. The simply issue is, either question it all or just let it float above your head and get on with life but know that the potential to dupe us is always there on any scale.
Anyone who just chooses to accept it all unconditionally, then they can get on with it but nobody who does that is going to tell me I'm wrong.

Getting back to combustion.   

Light a candle,   now take a glass, put vinegar and baking soda in the glass,  it will fizz up producing carbon dioxide,  some will stay in the glass because it's heavier than air.  Now carefully take the glass over to the burning candle,  and pour the carbon dioxide gas onto the flame.   The candle will immediately go out,  because you have removed the oxygen.

Ok,  same candle,   new glass,   light the candle and now put the glass upside down over the flame,  the flame will consume the oxygen and the flame goes out.

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.
What about liquids?  Can liquids "be meaningfully said to exist within it"?  What about hypergolic liquids?  Can they combust within a vacuum?

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.
Did you know that most rockets that operate in a vacuum use liquid propellants, not gas propellants?

Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?
Yes, especially when you are the one ignoring mass flow (a fundamental principle of fluid dynamics).

Here's a combustion chamber to laugh at too:

(http://www.space-propulsion.com/launcher-propulsion/rocket-engines/images/vulcain-thrust-chamber-assembly.jpg#moved)

Ooh - vacuum-proof!
As engy pointed out, that combustion chamber goes to a Vulcain (http://www.space-propulsion.com/launcher-propulsion/rocket-engines/vulcain-rocket-engine.html) rocket engine which is a designed to work in the atmosphere.

I already did, in your rusty fuel tank thread.
I'd like you to explain it all for me if you will. How close you were and what camera/telescope you used and what the weather was like, plus showing me some of the fantastic clear photo's or video of the launch that you and your family took.
If you don't feel like it, it's ok.


Getting back to combustion. 

Light a candle,   now take a glass, put vinegar and baking soda in the glass,  it will fizz up producing carbon dioxide,  some will stay in the glass because it's heavier than air.
 Now carefully take the glass over to the burning candle,  and pour the carbon dioxide gas onto the flame.   The candle will immediately go out,  because you have removed the oxygen.
That's a good word, FIZZ. ask yourself why things FIZZ.
The fizz is expanding the matter and releasing the lighter elements, leaving the much denser elements to  be pushed to the floor meaning they engulf the burning candle flame that is already burning the expanded hydrogen fuel due to immense friction for it's flame size. The denser molecules over it that are pushed down, are separating the expanded  fuel from friction, meaning it can't continue to agitate enough to create enough friction to keep the candle alight.


Ok,  same candle,   new glass,   light the candle and now put the glass upside down over the flame,  the flame will consume the oxygen and the flame goes out.
No, the flame doesn't consume the oxygen, it simply cannot expand anymore hydrogen fuel from the fuel source (candle) into the glass because it has nowhere to expand into other than the glass, so it loses it's ability to carry on the friction/agitation of matter.
Having the lit candle in atmosphere (without the glass) allows the hydrogen fuel to be extracted from the candle and wick which you see as a flame of hydrogen expansion against the push back of a dense atmosphere.
As long as there's dense material under friction against that, it will continue to produce the flame by simply conversion of matter into it's elements and release them.
You never consume anything. It all simply takes it's place in the layers of atmosphere that they are expanded into.

Where is friction involved in any of this?
Ha,   would you believe someone made a YT video

A reaction can be called anything. Chemical or abrasive or whatever. The reality to all of it is simply called friction.

Free Expansion of gas in a vacuum is a scientific Fact.
No it's not.
This deserves framing; the moment the clown derfers went full shpayze-retard.

As does this.

For different reasons.

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Here's a combustion chamber to laugh at too:

What about liquids?  Can liquids "be meaningfully said to exist within it"?  What about hypergolic liquids?  Can they combust within a vacuum?
You seem confused.

Do you know where you are right now?

Is there someone we can call to come fetch you?
Can you answer some simple questions without being a condescending prick?


Did you know that most rockets that operate in a vacuum use liquid propellants, not gas propellants?
Yes. 
Good.  Now, can liquids exist in a vacuum?  Can hypergolic liquids combust in a vacuum?


As engy pointed out, that combustion chamber goes to a Vulcain (http://www.space-propulsion.com/launcher-propulsion/rocket-engines/vulcain-rocket-engine.html) rocket engine which is a designed to work in the atmosphere.
LOL!!!

Your pal 'Engy' only 'pointed that out' after he'd made a fool of himself by describing it as Hypergolic.
No, he pointed out that it was a first stage engine designed to work in the atmosphere and the second stage engine that is designed to work in a vacuum is hypergolic.

What's worse, as YOU posted the photo of that combustion chamber in the first place (after I'd repeatedly asked for the combustion chamber of a SPACE-rocket like the J2), it would appear that that YOU were trying to deliberately deceive us, would it not?
Again, no.  Hewia first posted that picture.

Free Expansion of gas in a vacuum is a scientific Fact.
Yes, but you keep ignoring the fact that free expansion only applies in a closed system, which a De Laval nozzle in a vacuum is not.

I already did, in your rusty fuel tank thread.
I'd like you to explain it all for me if you will. How close you were and what camera/telescope you used and what the weather was like, plus showing me some of the fantastic clear photo's or video of the launch that you and your family took.
If you don't feel like it, it's ok.


Getting back to combustion. 

Light a candle,   now take a glass, put vinegar and baking soda in the glass,  it will fizz up producing carbon dioxide,  some will stay in the glass because it's heavier than air.
 Now carefully take the glass over to the burning candle,  and pour the carbon dioxide gas onto the flame.   The candle will immediately go out,  because you have removed the oxygen.
That's a good word, FIZZ. ask yourself why things FIZZ.
The fizz is expanding the matter and releasing the lighter elements, leaving the much denser elements to  be pushed to the floor meaning they engulf the burning candle flame that is already burning the expanded hydrogen fuel due to immense friction for it's flame size. The denser molecules over it that are pushed down, are separating the expanded  fuel from friction, meaning it can't continue to agitate enough to create enough friction to keep the candle alight.


Ok,  same candle,   new glass,   light the candle and now put the glass upside down over the flame,  the flame will consume the oxygen and the flame goes out.
No, the flame doesn't consume the oxygen, it simply cannot expand anymore hydrogen fuel from the fuel source (candle) into the glass because it has nowhere to expand into other than the glass, so it loses it's ability to carry on the friction/agitation of matter.
Having the lit candle in atmosphere (without the glass) allows the hydrogen fuel to be extracted from the candle and wick which you see as a flame of hydrogen expansion against the push back of a dense atmosphere.
As long as there's dense material under friction against that, it will continue to produce the flame by simply conversion of matter into it's elements and release them.
You never consume anything. It all simply takes it's place in the layers of atmosphere that they are expanded into.

Where is friction involved in any of this?
Ha,   would you believe someone made a YT video

(http://)
A reaction can be called anything. Chemical or abrasive or whatever. The reality to all of it is simply called friction.

Your explanation of fire, is interesting.   What if there was a better explanation,  that explained more things and was more general in it's scope, would you accept a better theory of fire.

Can you?

See how it works, hypnotoad?

Now, can liquids exist in a vacuum?  Can hypergolic liquids combust in a vacuum?

Please define the state of these 'liquids' when introduced to said vacuum.

No, he pointed out that it was a first stage engine designed to work in the atmosphere

Are you saying the Vulcain is not designed to work in a vacuum?

Also, your pal rabinoz says ALL de laval nozzles function in vacuum regardless...

Get your Lies straight, Clowns.

Again, no.  Hewia first posted that picture.

Another Lie.

You were the first to post it on this thread.

One more Lie & we're done, hypnotoad.

Yes, but you keep ignoring the fact that free expansion only applies in a closed system

Aaand there it is: the Big Lie.

There are many reasons why rockets work, many answers given in this thread yet you ignore them. Please also look up an actual combustion chamber designed to work in a vacuum and not one designed to work in atmosphere.

Maybe even produce a vacuum at home and put a rocket inside. See if it moves. Ohh wait mythbusters did that... And guess what... It moved.

A particle expanding would make it take in energy, not release it. Unless atoms aren't made of protons and neutrons, and if they aren't, explain the results of the Rutherford gold foil experiment.

so explain expanding atoms... is the core that expands or the orbits of the electrons? how much it would expand?
We need to do this slowly. Let's see if you have any rational thought and logic.
This is one super dense molecule of matter. We will use this word, molecule for the sake of clarity as we go on.

See if you can guess where I'm going with this.

This gobstopper represents a super dense underground molecule of matter.

how far can a molecule be compressed or expanded?

no matter what molecule are we talking about they are all spherical?

When you wake up to the realisation of things,, you might just get to grips with why everything is friction. No friction and you get nothing. We become nothing. Earth becomes nothing. We cease to exist as energy in any form.

I'm talking about the electric charges. I'm guess you didn't research the experiment I mentioned. Heard of alpha particles. You can easily show they have a positive charge by moving them through an magnetic field, their interactions with atoms show they also have positive charges within them, and the net charge of an atom is neutral.
Where are the positive and negative charges of an atom located in your model.

Free Expansion of gas in a vacuum is a scientific Fact.
No it's not.
This deserves framing; the moment the clown derfers went full shpayze-retard.

As does this.

For different reasons.

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Now I see the problem with that image. It says "hot exhaust gases from the aircraft's engines push on the air which in return produces opposite reaction on the engines". I believe its not well written. It doesn't mean that the engines push on the air, it means that it pushes the air outside the engine which provokes the opposite reaction.

One thing is pushing on the air, and other is pushing off. The image says "push on", not "push off". Writing "pushing off" would be incorrect, which is what Papa seems to understand from the image.

So, bringing this picture again won't help Papa's argument having cleared this.

The liquids are in a liquid state when introduced into the vacuum.

No, he pointed out that it was a first stage engine designed to work in the atmosphere

Are you saying the Vulcain is not designed to work in a vacuum?
I'm saying that it was it was used in the first stage of the Ariane 5 rocket as it starts at sea level and ends up however high it could get in about 9 minutes of operation.  I'll let you do the math.  Oops. I forgot that you don't need math.

Also, your pal rabinoz says ALL de laval nozzles function in vacuum regardless...
Yes, De Laval nozzles can work in an atmosphere, in a vacuum or anywhere in between.  It's the expansion nozzle that's generally optimized for different ambient pressures.  Do you have a point?

Yes, but you keep ignoring the fact that free expansion only applies in a closed system

Hey PL, I think both of us are far too thick skinned to mind the back and forth between us, I know I get a chuckle out of it. but I don't think raising the ire of forum mods by spamming the forums with posts that are 99% the same is the wise thing to do.

What gains momentum to counter the plane's?

YOU TELL ME!
I would say it's air

LOL!!!


If it isn't air, what is it.

No - you are right.

It is the air.
So the air can gain momentum, which means rockets work.

By pushing off the air, yes?
So gas can have momentum, so when the gas leaves the rocket, the rocket must gain a forward momentum.

Somehow...

In a vacuum.

You're desperate, aintcha, hypnotoad?

I'm saying that it was it was used in the first stage of the Ariane 5 rocket as it starts at sea level and ends up however high it could get in about 9 minutes of operation.  I'll let you do the math.  Oops. I forgot that you don't need math.

You know damn well it was designed for 'vacuum use' (lol!)!

What is Joule-Thomson Expansion and How does it relate to Rockets in Space?
from: http://www.etomica.org/app/modules/sites/JouleThomson/Background2.html (http://www.etomica.org/app/modules/sites/JouleThomson/Background2.html)
Quote
Joule-Thomson Expansion - Free Expansion of a Gas
Imagine a gas confined within an insulated container as shown in fig 1. The gas is initially confined to a volume V1 at pressure P1 and temperature T1. The gas then is allowed to expand into another insulated chamber with volume V2 that is initially evacuated. What happens? Let’s apply the first law.

We know from the first law for a closed system that the change in internal energy of the gas will be equal to the heat transferred plus the amount of work the gas does, or ∆U = Q + W. Since the gas expands freely (the volume change of the system is zero), we know that no work will be done, so W=0. Since both chambers are insulated, we also know that Q=0. Thus, the internal energy of the gas does not change during this process.
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w433/RabDownunder/Expansion%20into%20box_zpssowt8swc.png)
Fig 1  from same reference.
Now, how does this relate to a rocket in space?
For an ideal gas, free expansion does no work, but what does this mean?  It is simply that the temperature of the gas is unchanged during the expansion.  But, the upper diagram does not represent our rocket in free space.  The right half of this should replaced by "the infinite vacuum of space", more as in fig 2.

Joule-Thomson expansion simply says that the temperature of an (ideal) gas does not change, but this in no way affects Newton's Laws of motion.  The whole system is the rocket plus the "near-infinite vacuum of space".
There is nothing in the Joule-Thomson free expansion to "countermand" the momentum of the gas heading right (in the lower diagram) imparting like momentum to the rocket heading left.
As obviously expected there is no conflict between Newton's Laws and the Joule-Thomson free expansion.

BTW:  The "internal energy of the gas" remaining unchanged applies only for an ideal gas.  Ideal gases have no attraction between molecules, but in real gases van de Waal's forces between molecules result in a slight cooling during expansion, so in real gases the internal energy does change slightly - some work is required to separate the molecules, not that this is significant.
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w433/RabDownunder/Expansion%20into%20space_zpsmjab1wvg.png)
Fig 2 modified from same reference.
I am sure that this can be tidied up a bit, and any case our mutual "friend" will simply say "wrong", without any explanation of why.  I am always prepared to learn, but simply being told I am wrong does is not the slightest bit constructive.  Of course said "friend" has no interest in being constructive.
I will admit that, as he, himself has stated, I have learnt a lot from him!  Just read carefully what he says, and 99% of the time take the exact opposite.  Mind you I can't find that 1% anywhere!

Post by: Papa Legba on January 12, 2016, 06:25:30 PM
Anyhoo; time for this again:

The combustion chamber of a rocket is open to the near-infinite vacuum of space.

Therefore, no gas can even be meaningfully said to exist within it, let alone combust.

Any gas introduced therein when the pressurised fuel tank leading to the combustion chamber is opened will simply expand freely into the enormous, zero-pressure vacuum, following the path of least resistance & doing no work whatsoever.

This will continue for as long as the fuel tank & chamber are open to the vacuum, until both exterior & interior pressures are equalised at zero.

It is a beautifully simple concept, fully supported by All the laws of physics, yet you 'round earthers' (lol!) just can't seem to grasp it...


Plus this:

You all claim that the recoil of a gun is a valid analogy for how a rocket works in a vacuum.

Here is why it is not:

With a gun you have object A, the mass of the gun; the expanding propellant, P, the gunpowder, sited between them; and object B, the mass of the bullet.

But with a rocket you ONLY have object A, the mass of the rocket,  & the expanding propellant, P, the fuel.

No object B, see?

Thus, you have removed the necessary recoil mass required to produce motion.

But we know a rocket DOES produce motion, don't we?

Ergo, some other mass MUST be taking the place of object B.

& the ONLY possibility for that other mass is the Atmosphere.

Ergo, NO atmosphere, NO motion; rockets CANNOT function in a vacuum.

Q.E.D.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, cultists, every child knows that You cannot Push on Nothing.

No maths required; only common sense.



Then there's the fact that you are all trying desperately to confine this 'debate' to the wrong branch of physics, i.e. Solid Mechanics rather than Fluid Mechanics...

Kinda dishonest of you, dontcha think?

Pressure-Gradient Forces, Gas Laws, Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Assumption & Joules Expansion are the areas I suggest neutral readers research.

Here's a combustion chamber to laugh at too:
