N2O

   2,150 mph on Nitrous Oxide

So you bought one of those bad ass nitrous kits. How big a shot you got ? 200, 300, 500, well mac daddy compared to these characters you aint got crap. Check out what these guys did with N2O and a compound found in racing slicks. This is the viagra of all nitrous oxide systems.

Laughing Gas and Rubber ? ( SpaceShipOne Info )

All rocket motors have some form of fuel and an oxidizer. In solid rocket motors the oxidizer is embedded into the fuel (like an Estes rocket motor) and when lighted will burn until depleted. In liquid rockets the oxidizer is usually liquid oxygen and the fuel another liquid like hydrogen or kerosene. In this hybrid motor they use Nitrous Oxide (N2O or laughing gas) as an oxidizer and hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB or rubber) as the fuel. Both of these can be safely stored without special precautions and will not react when put together. N2O has the nice quality of self-pressurizing when at room temperature so that the space ship doesn't need complicated turbo pumps or plumbing to move the oxidizer into the combustion chamber.

WARNING

OK....IT MIGHT NOT BE SPACESHIP ONE AND IT MAY NOT GO 2,150 MPH....

BUT....IF YOU GOT MUD......AND PULL UP ON THIS FELLA.....BE SKEERED...
