Drwayne, <br /><br />Those links with Isp, thrust, and fuel ratios are exactly what I was looking for. Your shotgunning of information is appreciated. It's needed information. How would I calculate anything using the engine if I don't know it's stats? I'm asking about CH4/LOX engines out of application of the information rather than just curiosity. <img src="/images/icons/cool.gif" /><br /><br />To all again, <br /><br />Don't worry about going over my level. That's how I learn. If I don't understand something said, I'll either look it up, or ask about it. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />Just to tell you a bit about myself, I'm a highschool student in the 10th grade. I take chemistry next year, but what's been said in this thread has not gone over my head. I'm very curious like Spacester said and also a quick learner, I soak up <b>alot</b> from these forums. I like to figure things out.<br /><br />As to my knowledge about rockets, I know the basics. I understand Isp's (and the rest of the information in the links from Drwayne) and the rocket equation. I'm always looking to learn more though...such as the basics to rocket engine design. So if this thread were to now migrate over to designing a rocket engine with the propellant CH4/LOX, I would not be upset.<br /><br />Oh yeah, and I'm a guy to clear up any confusion on that. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />Spacester,<br /><br />I'm glad you found this thread. I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but I have not been able to put this information to use <b>yet</b>. I've been at school all day...disecting pigs in biology(Whoa! The brains were awesome!), talking about Hitler and Mussolini in history, and building polyhedrons (for my group, an icosahedron with twenty triangle-based pyramids -one on each side of the icosahedron-) in geomety are a few of the more interesting things that I did today. <br /><br />I promise, I didn't ask about this without intending to use any information I gained. I'll put it all to use. <img></img>
