let's say
you are in space, floating, right
no gravity, for all practical purposes a vacuum
now imagine
If you think that small tube is a vacuum you are not being honest with yourself
in front of you, is a large block
if you push off the block
you and the rock will both move in opposite directions
the same is happening with a rocket engine
the fuel mixes with oxidizer and is ignited to expand in a chemical reactipno
reaction*
It cannot maintain its differential
therefore you are pushing off pressure
this moves the fuel out of the rocket chamber, essentially "pushing" against the rocket
^^
the rocket moves because of the force applied to it
not because it applies force to a medium
Good explanation
Couldn’t have said it better
Notice the rocket doesn't move until it has created smoke
the smoke is from the burning of fuel
kind of what happens
the engines have to throttle up first
Start at 2:20
so you get some fumes
go into slow mo
the rocket is also
restrained
As soon as the jet stream starts, you can see thrust
so that the engines can throttle up
I've been through this video many times
it is then released from clamps
and if its engines produce more thrust than it has gravitational attraction to the earth
it will immediately begin moving upwards
the smoke has nothing to do with a pressure differential
There is ZERO thrust until a medium is created
no
False again
Feel free to watch it over and over again
it's coincidence, not causation
