Thermolene as a fuel



Hassler's Hustler was a Model T Ford (), but the video has a good recapitulation of the technology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_nitrate
Quote:
Isopropyl nitrate was previously used in a jet engine rapid starting system for military interceptor aircraft (a requirement for fast scrambling, as it provided simultaneous, near-instantaneous engine starting for twin engines) and was known as AVPIN.
It was used on AHRA tracks safely, most losses were due to wreckage. The only gotcha was that re-igniting was a no-no. It ocurs to me that a simple momentary contact switch and latching relay could prevent re-ignites.

Sounds right and you can breath the exhaust?

The tank is robust but storing Hydrogen in hydrides is prolly the future.

I won't be holding my breath for hydrogen. Last time I believed hydrogen would be an economically-viable fuel and dumbproofed enough to become safe for the average Joe to use was 20 years ago...
