Although Turbopump Part 2 was three years in the making, very little of that time was spent in front of a camera. Most of the time and effort was spent in research and you see the culmination in the hour-and-three-quarter video presented here.
I hope when you've seen the unique content of this video, you might feel inspired to help us research and produce videos like this one and become a channel supporter via our Patreon platform. We have a growing number of benefits to reward Patreons, including unique content and early access to ad-free versions of our latest videos.
I don't expect rich rewards for this effort - for me, it's a labour of love. But costs are high, and I receive assistance from others that must be funded. And lack of funding is restricting our progress and making production slow and more challenging than it needs to be.

I've been waiting so long for more V2 videos and have watched the previous ones multiple times and still enjoy them - thank you!

When a man knows what to say and what to do... He does it with awesome precision.. without a second thought 🤔 this man is a legend in his field... He made a 35 minutes video look like 3 minutes.

I have been a modeler and rocket enthusiast for most of my life. I am 60+ now, and I have not seen anything as detailed, concise, and straightforward as this video in explaining how the V2 rocket engine actually worked. Respect and thanks.

Please do more videos! Your delivery is exceptional!

Fantastic. I've been waiting for another installment in the V2 Rocket series. I'll watch this tonight. Any plans to do more CSI photo analasys videos as I really enjoyed that content? Cheers Tony.

Damn, this is the most wonderful rocket videos on the internet! I’ve seen a lot of them. I just asked a question in your short, through which I discovered your channel, about this injector design. But after watching this video’s couple of minutes I got all answer!!🎉

Thanks for the goods on your channel - a lot of work in these videos - in the background and the making the videos themselves - appreciate the historical side and the effort put in.
