my point, rockets use thrust, while jets use difference in air pressure. thus you can say just because a jet doesnt work in a vacuum doesnt mean a rocket works in a vacuum
Oh thats not what I'm saying
I was thinking that a jet would work in a vacuum
but i guess not?
Idk
Eventually it would not have enough oxygen for injection so no
some very basics behind each
Sorry I was referring to a jet engine, not the whole jet.
just not enough stuff to push off of in a vacuum
rockets basically don't work in a vacuum
Why not there's nothing that stopping it
rockets use atmosphere to push off of
No
They don't
throwing gas into nothingness does nothing
Propellers use that
Rocket's are different from propellers
There's a difference between thrust and lift
ignited gas
this prepellent needs an atmosphere to work to push off of something
otherwise its got no thrust
There's liquid and solid fuel as well
doesn't matter what type of fuel it is
its still propellant that propels the ship forward, and works well in an atmosphere
we can see it working
The amount of thrust can differ based on fuel
in a vacuum, not so much
similiar to a feather that doesn't move at all in a vacuum with a fan blowing on it
not one little bit
a rocket wouldn't move in a vacuum
There's a difference between a fan and a rocket
not when it comes to the medium
Rocket used to thrust to lift it upwards
same medium, same phenomenon
No
it uses atmosphere to create thrust
No it does not
