2. Rutherford (rocket engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_(rocket_engine)

   Rutherford is a liquid-propellant rocket engine designed by aerospace company Rocket Lab [8] and manufactured in Long Beach, California. [9] The engine is used on the company's own rocket, Electron. 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-fed cycle.

3. Rocket Lab Electron - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Lab_Electron

   Its Rutherford engines are the first electric-pump-fed engine to power an orbital-class rocket. [17] Electron is often flown with a kickstage or Rocket Lab's Photon spacecraft. Although the rocket was designed to be expendable, Rocket Lab has recovered the first stage twice and is working towards the capability of reusing the booster. [18]

   As of December 2020, the only rocket engines to use electric propellant pump systems are the Rutherford engine, [2] ten of which power the Electron rocket, [2] and the Delphin engine, five of which power the first stage of Astra Space's Rocket 3. [3] On 21 January 2018, Electron was the first electric pump-fed rocket to reach orbit. [4]

   The Rutherford engine uses pumps driven by battery-powered electric motors rather than a gas generator, expander, or preburner. [107] The engine is fabricated largely by 3D printing, using electron beam melting, [108] whereby layers of metal powder are melted in a high vacuum by an electron beam. [109]

7. Turbopump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbopump

   Generally, axial pumps tend to give much lower pressures than centrifugal pumps, and a few bars is not uncommon. Their advantage is a much higher volumetric flowrate. For this reason they are common for pumping liquid hydrogen in rocket engines, because of its much lower density than other propellants which usually use centrifugal pump designs.

9. Archimedes (rocket engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes_(rocket_engine)

   Archimedes was presented on December 2, 2021, in a webcast by Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck [4] as a fully reusable, gas generator engine using liquid oxygen (LOX) and methane as propellant, a departure from the company's previous Rutherford, which is electrically pump fed.
