WATER INJECTION IN RACE ENGINES: WITH DILUTED HYDRAZINE UDMH, MMH, UH-25

[ATLASVEGA]

thread71-72284 DEAR SIRS, I SAW THAT TOMSETTER? MENTIONED NACA/NASA. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS USED DILUTED HYDRAZINE OR HYPERGOL ROCKET FUEL IN THEIR WATER INJECTION? IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE STABLE HYDRAZINE WHEN AT LEAST 28% HYDRATED AND IT CAN BE FLAME IGNITED RATHER THAN THE ME163 C-STOFF/T-STOFF CHEMICALLY IGNITED SUPERHEATED STEAM BOMB METHOD. IT SEEMS THAT YOU COULD GET SOMETHING LIKE A NITROUS OXIDE'WATER INJECTION EFFECT OR SOMETHING LIKE CHEAP NITROMETHANE OR EVEN NITROPARAFFIN TOP FUEL!!!

So, nitromethane isn't unstable enough for you?

DEAR SIRS, THAT WAS PATPRIMMER NOT TOMSETTER. AD, BAXTER JULY 1945 SAYS WALTER MOTORS DECOMPOSED HYDRAZINE HYDRATE AND PEROXIDE INTO NITROGEN AND VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE STEAM. IN STEAM TURBINE SYSTEMS THEY USE THIS 'STUFF' FOR AN ANTI-CORROSIVE CLEAN-OUT SO IT WOULD PROBABLY BE GREAT FOR DECARBONIZATION OR DECOKEING THE CYLINDER HEAD, IF YOU RUN A SOLID COPPER HEAD GASKET. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT FELPRO TEFLON CORROSION PROBLEMS. THE PEROXIDE IS DANGEROUS TO MIX IN A SEPARATED INJECTION TANK, SO I'D PROBABLY JUST USE 3% HYDRAZINE 'COLD CRACKED' SCAVENGING SOLUTION!!!

Please turn off your caps lock; there's no need to SHOUT.

I DON'T PLAY WITH REAL NITROMETHANE. I MAKE BIOFUEL WITH A LITTLE NITROMETHANE FROM MODEL AEROPLANES TO SPIKE IT UP TO RUN IN DUAL S.U. HD8s

IT'S AN OLD ME 190 DRAFTING HABIT PLUS I HAVE WEAK EYES.

is that better mykey-fix-it jagman?

Have you been drinking?

YOU'RE FUNNY MR. BILL, FREE RADICALS CAN BE 'COLD CRACKED' DO YOU THINK THAT I NEED A CYCLOTRON AT UC BERKLEY FOR THAT? JUST BEFORE JIMI HENDRIX
DIED HE WAS AT MONTERY POP...VERY CLOSE TO A CYCLOTRON POWER GRID: HE WENT CRAZY SOON AFTER THAT.

Must have been the Hydrazine in his water?
Anyway, Nitromethane is in fact enough -or too much if you want. No need for new chemistry experiments.

Thank you.
