For what its worth, nitrates, chlorates and permanganates do not "release" oxygen when they burn. �Its a rather more complex oxidation/reduction process that does not directly involve molecular oxygen. Basically looks like the chemistry of explosives; �you co uld use oxygen in compressed form or as hydrogen peroxide but its a bit difficult to store. Saltpeter (KNO3), is a safe juvenile oxidizer used frequently by rocketry experimentalists, such as, http://sugarshot.org/ In a molten state it is very dangerous, by combusting any fuel it comes into contact with, if it's hot enough. I/we had a rocketry club as kids in the early 70's, and used that propellant (Sugar-Saltpeter). Regards Ken I had a chuckle reading that Ken! �I am the kid who at age 9 , tried to make molten sugar/saltpeter rocket propellant on the kitchen stove. �I filled the house with smoke, burned a pan and got a sore ass. Dean You'd have to be pretty bright to even try that experiment at age 9. (I was using match heads and pulling wicks out of firecrackers at that age) Wow, you were a geenyus. Bertie We used a hot-plate outside to cook the fuel. One dork , (like bertie) comes by smokin on a breezy day, we told him to **** off, well **** an ember off his smoke blows into a hot melt...poof, the dang pot load went off in 1-2 seconds and shot 10-20 feet up in flames. � Singed the eyebrows off the cooker. Actually we had laff about that, but we banned the air-head, (nerdy berty type) from ever doing any rocketry, hey he was FIRED, get it? Yeh, a bucnh of guys playing with Estes rockets harrasing nerds.... Ya see it every day. Bertie- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Lamer Bertie |
