A lie is attractive, easy, and flattering, yet rotten and black within.
The truth is NOT attractiveโit is harshโbut within, it is beautiful and strong!
๐ Just filed a provisional patent for a game-changing propellant sloshing solution!
New Multi-Level Helical Inclined Plate Baffle System โ a passive, ultra-lightweight solution that turns chaotic fuel sloshing into controlled spiral flow inside huge cryogenic tanks (9m+ diameter).
Minimal added mass + structural reinforcement. Perfect for Starship/Super Heavy stability.
Patent Pending #64/101,379
SpaceX engineers โ this might interest you ๐

Here are several views of the Multi-Level Helical Inclined Plate Baffle System inside a 9m tank (modeled in FreeCAD):
The helical plates create guided spiral flow paths that significantly dampen chaotic propellant sloshing while adding very little mass and improving structural rigidity.
Open to technical discussions with Starship propulsion and tank engineering teams.

Here are a few views of the helical baffle system inside the tank (modeled in FreeCAD):
The multi-level helical plates create guided spiral flow, significantly reducing sloshing while adding almost no extra mass.
Open to technical feedback from propulsion and tank engineers.
