how loud was a saturn v launch

[Thread #2079 for this sub, first seen 5th Nov 2017, 22:34] ^[FAQ] [Full ^list] ^[Contact] [Source ^code]. First is a Hydrogen bomb at I wondered if I was asking too soon. Permanent hearing damage would result without significant hearing protection. Nasa estimates that Saturn V was 1.4 decibels louder that the shuttle. (The V in the name is the Roman numeral five.) That's true -- but based on interviews with all three crewmembers, after Borman said that on the open air-to-ground circuit, Lovell said on intercom "Smooth and smoother?! However I would have to say that the Saturn V was definitely a step above the shuttle. Survival chance from sound alone, minimal, you would certainly experience permanent deafness but probably also organ damage. The air temperature would drop "only" a few degrees from expansion. Rocket launches can be so loud that scientists have to make sure their sound waves don't knock over nearby buildings. Also we should get 4 sonic booms from the landings. The launch pad has to dump 900,000 gallons of water a minute below the rocket for absorption or the reflected sound waves would rip the rocket apart. I never got to see a Saturn launch, but I have seen my fair share of shuttle launches, from Titusville to the NASA causeway to the VIP site. See how the giant Saturn V moon rocket worked in this SPACE.com infographic Just like we need light in order to see an object, to hear something, the sound waves need to travel through a medium, which usually is air. At this distance, the ambient air temperature would remain relatively steady, with perhaps a little heating or cooling, (alternatively it might alternate between hot and cold as the low frequency vibrations pass over you). Real data will not be available for Falcon Heavy until the first launch, scheduled for February 2018. Now then, lets do the math, this chart handily informs us that the Saturn V rocket produced a SWL (Sound Power Level) of about 220 decibels, which is sufficient to melt concrete nearby and set grass aflame a mile away, however, lets just look at sound attenuation calculations alone and compare them to smaller figures to make it seem more comprehend able. There are a number of methods to create the effect and I'm not sure which they used to create this (if I'm right about what it is), but there are a couple of tricks to do it in large outdoor environments. Now obviously my Saturn memories aren't too recent but I would say that I literally felt the Saturn sound as a light patting on my chest. Your throat and vocal cords would start vibrating along to the sound of their own accord. And at last, I leave you with one of my favorite videos in the world. I have experienced shuttles at various levels of sound. Joe Holloway Member .

It is the second You can here the crackling and rattling of the panels on the car. I don't think this occurs, due to the shock radiating upward and outward from the pointy ends of the vehicle in the climb. The Saturn V predated this suppression system. Can someone ELI5 as to how/why these become visible? Pressure waves. What specific factor(s) made Thomas Watson, Jr. (of IBM) so enthusiastic about early electronics? Plus the Saturn V simply stuck around longer. From the personal memoirs and the pen of William E. Moore January 28th. It is quite good. * Here's an example that uses the sun as the light source and uses some processing tricks to image the effect rather than the physical method used in the classic setup.https://www.nasa.gov/centers/armstrong/features/bosco.html. "I've just abducted an alien -- now what? I recall getting the loudest noise on Shuttle launches at the Press Site where I suppose the business end of the engines was more directly aimed at you. rev 2020.10.27.37904, The best answers are voted up and rise to the top, Space Exploration Stack Exchange works best with JavaScript enabled, Start here for a quick overview of the site, Detailed answers to any questions you might have, Discuss the workings and policies of this site, Learn more about Stack Overflow the company, Learn more about hiring developers or posting ads with us.
