Sure?

Oh it's back? Last time I checked, it says the thread doesn't exist. What happened?

A really badly thought out April Fools prank happened. Nothing was lost though

Prank? What prank?

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

Mission Le Verrier actually rode on this concept with its Neptune hypersonic unmanned aircraft, where the engine was modified to inject oxidiser into the combustion chamber instead of fuel.

That’s what I was thinking. Replace the oxygen with whatever is on the atmosphere and add oxidizer.

Unfortunately that thread was deleted.

No, it wasn’t.

 

[Horus Lupercal]

Prank? What prank?

Yeah, my words exactly.

The 'event' that involved the trail mods being 'kidnapped' by TT dressed as a small Martian moon, a badly presented story about Jordis storage woes and the best timed server outage in history.

No no no, you’re misunderstanding. TT and the trial mods were kidnapped by Mr. Martian Moon. It was not fun, and definitely not a prank.

'She turned me into a newt.

I got better'.

If I could, I might be able to do a little science experiment regarding this.

Where we use a mini turbojet engine used by hobby aircraft modellers, and duct hydrogen/methane into the intake, and feed oxidiser into the fuel feed, of course we have optimize the engine fuel control software for this scenario.

Jet engines usually burn "air rich", otherwise the excess unburnt fuel would coke up the innards. So you gotta "flip" the programming on its head, easier said than done, as different oxidisers have different stoichiometric ratios (you might find this out by referring to the US Army Propellant Handbook, however most of them cater to solid or liquid rocket engines, not gas-gas) you have to consider to find the perfect mix.

The hardware I'll need for this experiment will be very expensive, so maybe it's best for NASA to try.

However, Titan's atmosphere is 95% Nitrogen and 5% Methane, the compressor section is gonna have to work very hard to raise the concentration enough to sustain the burn.

I guess such an engine would be more useful in an atmosphere like Neptune. Where a majority of its atmosphere is hydrogen.

If that’s the case then it should also work on Jupiter and Saturn since they are mostly hydrogen too.

You're not working on Neptune anymore?

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

You're not working on Neptune anymore?

I never specified a planet. You were the one who said Neptune and Titan.

 

[8BitCosmonaut]

I was referring to your previous Le Verrier attempt.

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

I was referring to your previous Le Verrier attempt.

Ah. No, I left that project. I don’t think I can do it better than you did.

 

[8BitCosmonaut]

Ah. No, I left that project. I don’t think I can do it better than you did.

That's a real shame. I wanted to see your caravan method.

I dunno what is that thing but, it's looks like a brrrrt one with an ammo of shotgun

What's a brrrrt.

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

What's a brrrrt.

A gun that goes brrrrt rather like musket

 

[Marmilo]

What does go brrrt mean?

 

[Pink]

What does go brrrt mean?

Imagine saying brrrrr when you're cold. Now add "t" on the end.

Yes I know, it's absolutely nonsensical and no gun actually sounds like that

[Pink]

Cue Horus rant about the A-10 gun not sounding anything like that.
