and pushing off themselves doesn't help

No, Kevin. The gas is pushing on the rocket as it is leaving its tank.

So please look at the orb closest to the camera and explain mister flappy please @tripolarbear

if you push off yourself, where do you go?

you don't move

you spin

your not moving

no linear motion no

Kevin, the rocket is NOT pushing off of itself.

gasses from the rocket?

but angular motion yes

you don't spin by pushing off yourself

you spin by pushing off something near you to create a spin

Are you telling me I can't make myself spin?

KEVIN, the rocket is NOT pushing off of itself

If I was in a vacuum chamber and I switched on an angle grinder I reckon it would still spin

The gases leaving the rocket are applying a force to the rocket to propel it forward

but no linear motion no

rockets don't work in vacuums because the stuff its expelling called propellant needs something to propel off of

if you take a boat and remove it from water

propellors can spin on an airplane when you fly too high but the propellors are doing nothing, no forwards propulsion

No, Kevin it doesn't. The gas is combusting and expanding.

its not going to move , its out of the element it was designed to move in

no amount of newtonian laws is going to make a boat move when its not in water

It is being forced out because of this.

Feminism is gae lel

same with rockets, rockets don't work when they are out of the medium they were created to move in

Well if you put the boat onto some ice and you sanded down the hull and you removed all drag and you spun the propellor really fast i reckon you could make the boat move forwards very very slowly

rocket without air is a boat without water

Kevin, are you reading what I'm typing?

combustian works differently in a vacuum

its less explosive

either way I think a rocket in a partial pressure chamber isn't going to produce any meaningful thrust

more like sputters

The combustion process isn't occurring in a vaccuum it's occurring in fuel tankks

doesn't matter

They are separated off from the vacuum

yes but if you fill the combustion chamber with fuel and oxidizer and you burn it, there's still enough pressure per second for a reaction to occur

however the reaction has no medium to push off

once its already combusted then its lost its explosive force
