Nuclear thermal rocket engine by magnetman33
READ THIS BEFORE YOU SAY THIS IS A URAN/BOYL ROCKET. In a real nuclear rocket engine used in a plane, there would be a nuclear reactor, which would be used to heat air passing through the engine, making it heat up and expand, pushing the plane along.

Well seeing as powdertoy pyhsics are.... yeah, no, this is close enough to get the idea across xD but feel free to make the kind you are talking about lol. There are desings like this where normal air would go around the core of a reactor, making it heat up and thus expand, so... yeah. And also the pump around it was not meant to be a magnetic restraint, it was just beacause there were problems with air pressure around it :P -

i read the description before saying this, but it is a boyl engine. all your rocket tech is amazing, but real nuclear engines liquid hydrogen around a reactor to vapourise it, rather than passing gaseous fuel through a toroidal reactor. (passing it around reduces the volume of fuel that does not contact the radator and increases the overall exhaust temperature, increasing nozzle velocity and efficiency. still cool though and the pump acting as a magnetic restraint was a really nice touch +1 -

You finally fixed it +1! -
Doolittle 4th Mar 2014yep it is!

magnetman33 4th Mar 2014Thats the one!

Doolittle 4th Mar 2014ah! is is Cerium!

Doolittle 4th Mar 2014yeah here is the plane that I used your engine for id:1476577

magnetman33 4th Mar 2014Think it's still wrong...

Doolittle 4th Mar 2014LOL Im sorry, It was Celcium(I still might have got it wrong) I am making a plane to go with your engine .

magnetman33 4th Mar 2014Also, I saw your plane. Pretty good, but a diamond plane would be very expensive :)
