Holy carp!
I've combined a few quotes from the pistonheads thread from the same guy about the same thing.
Quote:
This is the hole where the APU will be fitted through, an F1 engine, used solely for turning H2O2 pump.
It's used to power the fuel pump for the rocket, via a reduction gearbox.
Basically we need 750hp to turn the pump to deliver 1000 liters of H2O2 at 1000psi in 20seconds
I was talking to an F1 driver on the stand at Goodwood FOS this year & joked about how we use the engine from the back of his car a fuel pump he took some convincing!
