Rocket Lab Rutherford Engine Explained.
Rutherford is a liquid-propellant rocket engine designed by aerospace company Rocket Lab. Rocket Lab developed the Rutherford engine specifically for the Electron launch vehicle, and it is capable of 4,600 pounds-force of thrust. It uses LOX (liquid oxygen) and RP-1 (refined kerosene) as its propellants and is the first flight-ready engine to use the electric-pump feed cycle.
This video discusses the engineering aspects of the Rutherford engine.
