ABSTRACT:
A method, device and composition for achieving ignition and sustained combustion using a solid consumable catalytic bed (CCB) is described. The CCB accomplishes this by decomposition of an injected fluid. Initially this reaction is catalytic or hypergolic in nature, eventually becoming entirely thermal as the CCB is consumed in the reaction generated. The CCB may be placed in a hybrid motor system such that the decomposed injected fluid will undergo combustion with the solid grain. When the injected fluid is high concentration hydrogen peroxide the catalytic materials of construction for the CCB are selected from the metallic hydride family, the manganese oxide family and the cuprocyanide family.
