The Most Poweful Engine Ever "In Ksp"

1) id like to know what would happen if this happend in real life (the thrust is 1,000,000

2) do you think this engine is fair

It has mass, therefore it is automatically less broken than the RCS engines currently are. As Scott Malney has demonstrated, there is no upper limit to the thrust you can attain from attaching multiple copies of them to your ship and enabling infinite fuel.

Yes that is true but it is so little compared to the thrust. I might change that in part two thank you

Hmmm. If you were to do this in real life, with the ship throttled all the way up, bad things would happen.

A million kilonewtons (kN) of thrust is about 225,000,000 pounds of thrust. It would basically be the equivalent of detonating an atom bomb in your engine's nozzle. There's no way that the engine could survive that, nor the rest of the ship. There's a good chance that some of the ship would be thrown upwards by the force, though much of it would be vaporized by the blast. The launch pad and much of the surrounding area would be destroyed. A mushroom cloud would rise from the pad, and the world would be reminded that trying to make a million-kilonewton rocket in real life is a bad idea.

Nice video, by the way.

Why would blowing up kerbin be a bad idea and thank you very interesting

I'm doing a part 2 of this soon

[CG_Kerbin]

Maybe Friday or Saturday https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYT2CcYN2OnEcaUcIBuroFw

part 2

I found out once you get over 500,000 thirst the bonds that are naturly attach eg cockpit to engine break apart
