This is a fancy aerospike engine right? The rotating detinations gives it higher chamber pressure and therefore better ISP or something?
I will look for the Scott Manley video on this later (I think it was him?) Edit: also a Real Engineering one that explains the aero-spike nozzle
Anyone have the ISP of this experiment to compare to other engines?
Should be the rotating detonation engine.
Video is here (3 years old)
Real engineering also did one (actually better than Scott’s I think)
