Two step reaction propulsion method

Claim 1

A METHOD OF OPERATING A REACTION PROPULSION ENGINE WHICH COMPRISES DIRECTING ACETYLENIC FUELS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ACETYLENIC HYDROCARBONS AND TAUTOMERS THEROF, DIPROPARGYL ETHER, PROPARGYL ALCOHOL AND MONO-, DI- AND TRI- PROPARGYLAMINE SUBJECT TO EXOTHERMNIC THERMAL DECOMPOSITION WITH THE FORMATION OF SOLID CARBON PARTICLES AND GASEOUS DECOMPOSITION PROUCTS CAPABLE OF OXIDATION INTO A CONFINED ZONE MAINTAINED AT CONDITIONS OF TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURE EFFECTIVE TO CAUSE THE FUELS TO DECOMPOSE EXOTHERMICALLY, PERMITTING THE PRODUCTS OF DECOMPOSITION TO FLOW AT LEAST AT SONIC SPEED FROM THE CONFINED ZONE WHILE CONTINUING TO MAINTAIN SAID CONDITIONS OF TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE IN THE CONFINED ZONE, DIRECTING THE PRODUCTS OF DECOMPOSITION INTO A COMBUSTION CHAMBER, UTILIZING A PORTION OF THE ENERGY RELEASED IN SAID DECOMPOSITION IN PASSING FROM THE CONFINED ZONE INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER, AND THEREAFTER CAUSING THE RAPID OXIDATION OF SAID DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER.
