Realistic Rocket Engine

Behold, my latest creation, a realistic rocket engine:484979View Save 484979
Most thrust is from the fuel burning, unlike many other rocket engines on TPT that use loads of PUMP. :) -
Unfortunately, this is not very realistic. This uses clone, which in real life, does exist.
This means that it can go on forever, while the real solid rocket boosters (this is taken straight from the nasa site) only last 2 minutes.
I managed to make one of these that went for 15 seconds using no clones, only nitro, wood, broken coal, and rubidium. -

Well, yea, but we can't have everything, can we? I was going to make it without clone, but I figured I'd get loads of noobs on my ass complaining. And, after all, most of my realistic creations get about 4 votes then sit there doing nothing forever.
1 little thing does not make something go from 'quite realistic' to 'not very realistic'. The whole point is that it doesn't use loads of PUMP, which increases realism. a few pixels of clone shouldn't counter that.
It barely even matters. It'd be unrealistic without clone, as it would last about 5 seconds and the fuel tanks would have to be out of proportion for the time it takes to burn. -
It reaches a pressure of up to 22 without being started, presumably due to the inclusion of fan somewhere.

and pump, i deleted all of the fan and pump, then started it and lit it, it got to a maximum pressure of -1.3 -
@Jallibad
Better than many others, that use about 500 pixels of PUMP at 256. :)
I use 4 pixels of PUMP at 60. See the difference there?UPDATE - New, even more realistic version!

Uses NO PUMP or FAN wall!
Happy now, guys? -

You are being rather hypocritical with that comment.
None of the elements in your rocket are used in NASA rockets. -

Heh. -

My version with no PUMP or FAN is actually less realistic, as it generates barely enough thrust to move forward slowly. :P
It's also less stable.
