Why make it so complicated? All those expensive maybe hard to get chemicalsIf all you need is a hot enough surface to have the peroxide decompose and stainless can get that hot, why not electrically heat a bare stainless mesh cat pack?
to avoid a simple silverplated screens cat pack!
All you have to do is to lead the hot decomposed peroxide (by screen,
pellet or liquid catalyst) i.e. oxygen & steam gas stream into the chamber
to preheat it. Next spray the kerosene in that chamber which'll autoignite à
la Black Arrow. Next bypass (or not) the pack and directly inject
*undecomposed peroxide* into the flaming chamber for it to thermal
decomposition of it. Will combustion stop? No, according to H. Walter who
applied the invention during WWII in his torp and rocket designs. It worked
70 years ago.
