#Engines

Random rat-in-engine tip: a combination of ultrasonic repeller and propping up the hood every night is working very well for preventing rat/mice/woodrat nesting in the engine. A little bit of a PITA propping the hood up (and putting it down every day), but better than destroying your engine wiring. Rats have given up going into the engine bay, not enough protection from the owls.

#AI and #SearchEngines is a upcoming real problem. Because of showing their own summary and try to keep the people on the #search #engines #site, there will be a massive breakdown in hits of the original pages. Without any solution for small sites and projects, these small businesses and projects will be hidden and die in the long run.

I do not see a project targeting this problem without the current search engines. Kinda bad future.

With #WooCommerce plugins, you can structure #products in the right way, which makes it easier for #search #engines like #Google to index them. The right #SEO plugin can bring a clear increase in #website visibility and #organic t#raffic.

How Methane took over the Booster World.

Go back a generation of development, and excepting the shuttle-derived systems, all liquid rockets used RP-1 [aka kerosene] for their first stage. Now it seems everybody and their dog wants to fuel their rockets with methane. What happened? [Eager Space] was eager to explain in recent video.

Space X Starship firing its many Raptor engines. The raptor pioneered the new generation of methalox.

Methane also has the advantage of being a gas when it warms up, and rocket engines tend to be warm. So the injectors don’t have to worry about atomizing a thick liquid, and mixing fuel and oxidizer inside the engine does tend to be easier. [Eager Space] calls RP-1 “a soup”, while methane’s simpler combustion chemistry makes the simulation of these engines quicker and easier as well.

There are other factors as well, like the fact that methane is much closer in temperature to LOX, and does cost quite a bit less than RP-1, but you’ll need to watch the whole video to see how they all stack up.
