SpaceX's Raptor engine is ridiculous in itself, but the raptor's turbopumps are even more ridiculous. SpaceX's Starship and Super Heavy are huge and require powerful engines to launch into space. For that, SpaceX has developed the Raptor rocket engine, but what makes a rocket engine so powerful? • In rocket science, rocket engines are sometimes referred to as flying turbopumps because the thrust depends on how much propellant you can shove through them. And for that, rocket engines use extremely powerful pumps that are driven by a gas turbine, hence the name turbopump. • SpaceX's Raptor engine has two turbopumps. One for the liquid methane and one for the liquid oxygen because that's the propellant that Starship and Super Heavy are going to use, and, let me tell you, those turbopumps are extremely powerful! In this video, I will show you how powerful they truly are! • Patreon: / spaceiac • Instagram: / spaceiac • #shorts
