You also have the deluge system that requires a massive amount of water driven at very high pressures, etc. (actually gas generators built from a set of Raptor derived power heads, rocket engine pressuring the deluge system).
Zach Golden's latest video deals with the design of the new deluge system, and he reckons the new gas generators aren't raptor derived. There's no turbopumps in there at all - it looks to be gaseous O2 and CH4 being fed into a combustion chamber that then warms up a massive flow of N2.
Counting down to our second launch attempt, the 90-minute test window opens at 5:30 p.m. CT with live coverage starting ~30 minutes before liftoff. Weather is currently 85% favorable for flight
