I know that you cant talk about solid fule but can we talk about liquid things? I wont type it all out but it is about liquid NO2 and meat.

why would you want to freeze your "meat"

Actually, it's the other way around. N20 is the oxidizer and the meat is the fuel (contains carbon). Sugar is probably a better choice.

AND WOULD PEOPLE STOP CALLING N2O "NO2" ?!

Sry about that that is what I ment, but the meat does work, you coat the meat in some hair spray and add some liquid N20 and you have a rocket.

the confederate army rocket episode used N2O and wax i think and it flew pretty well, and i think i remember the meat rocket just blowing up, or was that something else?

also i remember a daily planet episode, they showed a small plane using pure O2 and alcohol.

it was a tiny glider modified with a rocket engine which was basically 2 pressurized tanks, a combustion chamber and a nozzle

I know that liquid O2 and liquid H2 work really well in a rocket engine, but how well do you think gaseous H2 and O2 work, its just that Ive heard that performance takes a pit fall once it becomes gaseous since its not nearly as dense as in liquid form.

"i think i remember the meat rocket just blowing up"

Ya the rocket exploded when it was test fired.

"meat rocket go boom"
Ah, so it preformed <i>better</i> than they expected, and their nozzle throat was too small.

It's not like it doesn't happen all the time...

Was it successful and if so was it remote controlled?
