Watching a rocket blast off from Earth is an awesome experience in terms of raw spectacle. But if you're gunning for a more intimate look at how rockets expend fuel to generate thrust, check out this new explainer on how to make a DIY see-through model rocket engine, released Tuesday [on the YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFH4dWqQQOYkyJZUGT4q5pg/about) Warped Perception.

A Model Rocket Engine that you can See Through, see inside, how it works and burns through the various stages, I filmed it in 4k slow motion and ultra slow motion so we can see exactly how the fuel burns and produces thrust inside the solid rocket booster.
This transparent model rocket engine shows you what's going on inside that little engine when it launches.
This is very similar to how a solid rocket booster works on various other rockets as well.

See Through Model Rocket Engine - FULL ENGINE in Slow Motion 4K - Rockets (S1 • E2)

_Video:_ [_Warped Perception/YouTube_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xvVJQSGHts&feature=youtu.be)

By modifying a standard model rocket stage and encasing it inside a glass tube, host Matt Mikka exposes the interior dynamics of active solid-booster rockets, an explosive process that is normally hidden behind fuel tanks.

Not surprisingly, it looks captivating as hell, especially in 4K and ultra slow motion.

Now, that's some quality propulsive eye candy. Best of luck on making your own open-heart rockets, and try not to blow anything up.
