Show HN: A 3D catalog of rocket engines you can take apart

https://farsidelab.com/concept/rocket-engines/
1•kari_nojd•49m ago
Here you have 13 different rocket engine technologies, 9 have flown, 3 built and test fired, but not flown and 1 never completed.

I created this site because I wanted to learn more about rocket engines and how they work. My background is HVAC/plumbing engineer and 3D artist, not rocket engineer, so I built this just out of my personal curiosity.

Here you can investigate each motor type and learn what each part does, explode and cutaway the model and see how fuel and oxidizer flow to generate the thrust.

Site is created using Claude Opus 5.5. Claude made also the 3D models using Blender MCP. Site runs on Babylon.js 9.16.1 on WebGL2.

What I did was basically art direction and fact checking. It took me about one week, among other projects, to get this site finalized so that I was happy about the design and outcome.

Any improvements, corrections and comments are welcome!
