I was not actually advocating adding it to any current engine, and it will not be
practical to use liquid hydrogen and not efficient to use gaseous hydrogen. I was
mental modeling as an aid understanding the catalization process.
Could be an interesting experiment though. With the perfection of your freezing
process for higher power peroxide and the moving on to you special catalyst it will
take a good deal of experimentation to get the cat pack just right. I'm not sure if you
use a reactor or build engines to test your brews, but in either case the use of an
added component with the expectation of a changed plume due to an interaction would be
a way of checking your theories of what is going on inside the reaction device.
One assumption that has been made often is that a milky exhaust is uncatalyzed
peroxide getting by the pack, has this been confirmed? Does it come out at the same
concentration as the upstream peroxide?
