This is seriously one of the coolest things I have seen lately. Taking a moment to look at the overall engine itself, the nature of how you arrive at such eloquently-chaotic beauty, and the sheer uniqueness of the damn thing, wow!

Appears to me to be littered with waveguides upon waveguides, pinch points, and various irises. This is really cool. Whether it works to cool the nozzle down, I feel like the beginning simulations could easily yield do more of this, less of that, test, and vary in a iterative feedback loop of sorts. Maybe even hot gas at tight-knit control, induction loops for moving heat inward to segments, or outward? Think of just how fast you could build this just by going single-part alone if it works.



They haven't test fired it, so we have no idea if it actually works.
