Ah, I didn't do the calculations myself, just did a couple random Google searches for how many joules it takes to boil off one liter of water (not how much it takes to bring a gallon to boiling point, which is of course much much less). Here's one site I used: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/energy-required-to-boil-water.456998/ https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/energy-required-to-boi..., but I didn't see the "k" in front of joules. Thanks.
- Retric 12y agoYour still confusing a state change (boil) with a chemical change (burn). The reason this is important is how fast stuff comes out the bottom of your rocket is really important and pushing it faster takes more energy. To beat chemical rockets you need to use more energy to push harder.
