Blueskies is the best blue guy
i just looked it up for the 2nd time nuclear engines do utilize fusion. but just give me a week to to build a prototype to prove you wrong.
a nuclear engine is literally just a nuclear reactor used to heat up a fuel which causes it to expand and exit the nozzle, generating thrust. there is NO fusion involved at all. if there were, it would be called a fusion engine, NOT a fission engine.
if i use hydrogen it also causes fusion here, which is not realistic so thats why im not using hydrogen.
if i actually make fuel rods it wont work, cause they take up too much space, and no there is not fusion in fission engines. i suggest you try to google instead of trying to prove a fact wrong.
and just because it has uranium in it does not mean that they are "fuel rods"
look it up actually do research
im saying in a real nuclear engine
the OIL is just so the plume actually looks pleasant
