Robert uses an accurate and ultra-detailed V2 rocket engine model to examine the relationship between key parts and some of the problems with the ancestor of all large rocket engines - the German EW A4 LPRE. This video was initially conceived as an explanatory sequence within the Turbopump part 2 presentation. However, it started to take on a life of its own, and it made more sense to let it grow naturally and release it as an introductory video for Turbopump Part 2: [ Ссылка ]

Although Turbopump Part 2 was three years in the making, very little of that time was spent in front of a camera. Most of the time and effort was spent in research and you see the culmination in the hour-and-three-quarter video presented here.

I hope when you've seen the unique content of this video, you might feel inspired to help us research and produce videos like this one and become a channel supporter via our Patreon platform. We have a growing number of benefits to reward Patreons, including unique content and early access to ad-free versions of our latest videos.

I don't expect rich rewards for this effort - for me, it's a labour of love. But costs are high, and I receive assistance from others that must be funded. And lack of funding is restricting our progress and making production slow and more challenging than it needs to be.
