Hi, I'm Brad👋 New video's every two weeks - If you love learning about rockets, space and space exploration, you've come to the right place. If you enjoyed any of my video's or learned something new I'd appreciate a sub! #spaceexploration #space #spacex #nasa #mars

Video Description

Not liquid. Not solid. So… what on Earth is it? It’s a hybrid rocket engine, and it’s the beating heart of the Eris rocket - Australia’s shot at joining the big leagues of space launch. Gilmour Space isn’t building just another rocket. With Eris, they’re betting on a technology that most of the industry left behind years ago: hybrid propulsion. It’s weird, it’s rare, and it might just work. In this video, I’m diving into what hybrids actually are, how they work, why they’ve been overlooked, and why Eris could change that. You’ll learn what makes Gilmour's Sirius hybrid engine tick, what Gilmour’s Phoenix engine brings to the table, and how the Eris rocket could put Australia on the spaceflight map. Every time Eris launches, it’s going to turn heads - and now you’ll already know what’s going on under the hood. So grab a snack, settle in, and let’s talk about why the world’s next big rocket might be flying out of my home state of Queensland, Australia - powered by an engine that doesn’t quite fit the rulebook.
