Evel Knievel’s Steam Powered Rocket Attempt

Today on Steam Culture, Brent is going to talk about Evel Knievel's plan to jump over the Snake River Canyon with a steam powered rocket. Steam has tons of power on it's own but when paired with a specially designed nozzle (like the ones rockets use to go into space) they are able to amplify the velocity creating even more thrust. Watch as Brent talks about the jump as well as how the converging diverging nozzle works.
