Just because the thrust is visible doesn’t mean smoke did pressurize the shop vac.

Just because the thrust is visible doesn’t mean smoke did pressurize the shop vac. Smoke flowing back out of the rocket is backpressure

What if a rocket engine creates its own unVacuumated area right behind the exhaust ?

If the shop vac was consuming all the smoke, then smoke would not back fill the hose and would not start coming out if the hose.

So when you are picking up garbage or water with the shop vac and the garbage starts coming back out of the hose. You have overwhelmed the vacuum.

It clearly doesn’t displace all the smoke. It is evident by the smoke coming out of the hose.

Ok then do the video again this time without any smoke coming out of the hose. Otherwise your experiment is flawed.

Doppler Curves in Satellite Tracking
Measuring the Doppler Shift is a satellite tracking technique for determining the distance between the satellite and the receiver at the time of closest approach as well as the time itself. As a satellite approaches, the frequency appears raised relative to the actual transmission frequency. As it goes away, the frequency appears to be lowered. At the time of closest approach, the transmitted and received frequencies are usually the same.
A measurement of frequency against time produces a Doppler curve. As the satellite passes, the received frequency appears to fall but not in a constant manner. The rate of change starts off slow, is greatest at the time of closest approach and then tails off towards the end of the transit. This is because we are measuring the rate of change in the component of a satellite's velocity along a line joining the satellite to the receiver. The rate of change is greatest at the time of closest approach and, if measured, can be used to determine passing distance.
