OUR NOTEA screen recording of an interactive browser explainer of a Raptor 3 engine firing with visible shock diamonds, then shown in cutaway and exploded views that trace oxygen and methane through both turbopumps as the throttle changes.
I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to explain how a rocket engine works by building an interactive Raptor 3 you can take apart in your browser.
Cut it open, follow the oxygen and the methane through both turbopumps, then throttle it and watch the shock diamonds move.
