Said density also allows for more compact spacecraft. -
DANGA 13th Sep 2023Tbh- Oil as a NTR fuel isnt terrible in theory, the realative density of it allows for higher thrusts at the cost of exaust velosity.

no nuclear engines have no limit in temperature only solid core nuclear thermal rockets have limit and they are worst type and there are such things as light bulb gas core thermal reactor nuclear fragment and nuclear pulse -

thermonuclear fusion engines needs temperatures in the millions of degrees celsius and extreme pressure, but fission engines can only acheive 3000 degrees if they try for high temp, and that is ignoring that the engine itself would just instantly melt from the temperature if you didnt use magnetic confinement -
username90000 13th Sep 2023i have no idea what blue beam said but it is possible to make tokamak covered with uranium fuel for more neutrons or something like dusty fusion and i said that it is possible to use fisson fusion engines and also ntr use hydrogen as fuel cause it is lightest gas and nuclear thermal propulsion with solid core sucks and thermonuclear is meant for fusion cause of it being high temperature reaction

XBlueBeam 13th Sep 2023im currently working on a much more realistic version
-
XBlueBeam 13th Sep 2023thermonuclear can also just involve fission and no fusion, which is what this is

ok so lets just stop arguing sorry -
blueskies1818 13th Sep 2023thermonuclear means both
-
blueskies1818 13th Sep 2023ok but this is so unrealistic also thermal nuclaer propulsion is way more efficient
