Just finished putting together a cryogenic pump today. Only one of its kind. Initial run-in looks great, so I'm really jazzed. Next week we'll see what it can really do. Imagine a fire hose that sprays liquid oxygen instead of water!

Oh, there's lots of cryo pumps for rocket engines out there. This one is very unique though. It's a piston pump instead of the usual turbine pump. The new pump gives us multi-million dollar performance for a multi-thousand dollar price tag.
Piston cryo pumps are often used for industrial applications, but those pumps are ultra-heavy and require lots of electrical power to operate. |
