Abstract
Abstract A method, apparatus and the fuel therefor for creating a hot gas jet hydrogen peroxide in a maximum aqueous solution of 55% to which is added a burnable substance. The mixture is passed through a permeable mass of catalytic material such as manganese dioxide in the form of granules of natural pyroluside where the hydrogen peroxide is broken down into water and oxygen. The oxygen thus formed is combined with the burnable substance which may be sugar, coal dust, alcohol, gasoline or other common fuels. Water is added to the mixture to insure storage stability of the hydrogen peroxide.
