Learn the concepts and there won't be a problem. A rocket engine can work under water because of how they work. A jet engine cannot work underwater because of how they work. It's amazing how ignorant you can be.
Rest assured it isn't me that's being ignorant. You thinking a burning fuel rocket can work underwater and in space, shows how ignorant you are.
You're being lied to and it's not hard to see why for those who are willing to see it for what it is.

I don't see how it's ignorant to believe something that is not only possible, but has been demonstrated to be possible for centuries.

Fuel can burn in the absence of air, easily. The fuel just needs to contain its own oxygen source, as in gunpowder. Bullets can fire underwater. Why couldn't rockets operate underwater?
A bullet can fire underwater because of the expansion of ignited gunpowder. Trying to fire a burning fuel rocket vertically out of water is a no go. Putting one into a near vacuum is also a no go.

Scepti, first of all, sub launched missiles do not burn underwater.  Compressed air pushes the rocket out of the water where the rocket ignites.  Secondly, a rocket can burn underwater or in a vacuum because it carries its own air supply, generally in the form of liquid oxygen.  Why are these two basic concepts so hard for you to understand?  What kind of evidence will it take for you to finally accept them?

Do you know that both of the metals magnesium and sodium burn under water sceptimatic?  Nope?  Oh dear, so much for not using Wiki or Google eh?

Although I must say that I'm not surprised as you seem to mistakenly think that nothing can burn under water LOL.

The sooner you realise why a rocket carries it's own oxygen supply the sooner you will realise how they actually do work.

Let me just explain, see if you can grasp it.
Imagine filling a rocket with just fuel, it would simply fall out of the rocket and ignite into a complete mess of a fire ball.
Adding oxygen to it allows the fuel to be forced out into a controlled fast burn, allowing it to super heat the atmosphere and create a huge void that causes the atmosphere to squeeze the rocket up by immediately filling that.

The oxygen in the rocket only serves the purpose of rocing out the ignited fuel.

No, that's what you think, according to how your own description of how a rocket works in air. Why would it be any different it water, according to you?

So if I fabricate a small rocket using powdered aluminium, sulphur and magnesium, you're claiming I can't fire it underwater?

And think carefully before you answer this.

And why do you say this exactly?  Have you tried this experiment yourself?  And assuming you have (in order to denounce it so strongly) how did you utilise the three materials, and what did you use for your rocket casing?  BTW,  what purpose does the powdered aluminium serve?

What do you mean what purpose does it serve?
We are talking about rockets taking off from under water. We don't need to go into stuff like thermite and what not. We are talking about moving a ballistic missile from under water into the sky.

We are told that compressed air shoots the missile out of the water, then the rocket burn kicks in and off it goes.
Some videos show this happening.

Other videos show the rocket coming out of the water already ignited.
I'm telling you right now that neither can happen in how we are shown.

Not a hope in hell are you going to get a 20 odd foot long ballistic missile through 120 feet of water by air pressure to jump out of the sea, then to ignite and on it's merry way.
Not a hope in hell.

I wasn't asking you about full-sized rockets.  I was asking you questions specifically about a little home-made rocket anybody can make in their backyard with only cheap, simple gear.  And launch from underwater, and which will travel at least 20 metres into the air.

I'm refuting your claim that you can't launch a rocket from underwater.  You're wrong.  Simple as that.  Sorry.

Scpeti, you have no right to call anyone ignorant in that subject, when you have been presented with not only diagrams of how it works, but video of it actually working, you simply deny it with your lazy cop out of "deep thinking."

If you really could articulate why we were incorrect, you would have explained why in detail ages ago.

But you can't.
I've explained and better explained why it's a lie. If you haven't looked, then do so.

I have looked. Your answers are:

1. "I had a deep think about this..."
2. "Its bullshit."
3. "I have already answered the question."

None of those answers are scientific, nor have you come up with a counter to demonstrable evidence that anyone can perform in their own back yard.

I trust my eyes, my experiences, and demonstrable science more than I trust your "deep think."
"As for me, all I know is that I know nothing."

Well he won't admit it now that you told him what is needed to make fire. It's always more fun to just ask the question initially so that we can see what he says.

By now, everybody will have noted that sceptimatic never responded to my little story about making a home-made "rocket" that anybody (except sceptimatic himself probably LOL) can make in their backyard.  And launch from underwater, and propel 20m or so into the air.

It's more than obvious by the nature of his posts here that he has virtually no comprehension of the principles of jet propulsion.  His "understanding" of basic physics would make a high-schooler blush.

This non-response from sceptimatic again proves that when confronted with any sort of legitimate scientific problem that he can't address, he simply disappears from the thread, never to be seen again.

So... I stand by my claim that sceptimatic has absolutely no idea of rocket and/or jet engine technology.  If he had, he would've asked me how I manged to carry out my little experiment with my homemade "rocket".  But he didn't.  Which tells me a lot.

Septic read this and weep.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VA-111_Shkval

Good link.

But I'm guessing that as sceptimatic's final comment in this thread was:  "Not a hope in hell are you going to get a 20 odd foot long ballistic missile through 120 feet of water by air pressure to jump out of the sea, then to ignite and on it's merry way.  Not a hope in hell" there's very little likelihood of him reading through it.

He has all the evidence he needs:  Not a hope in hell.  And he says it twice just to prove the point.   ;D
