I believe that the great IKB did some work on an engine called the GAZ engine, but that he gave up the idea, due to the necessity of providing a pressure vessel capable of withstanding enormous pressures produced by the mixture of certain chemicals - I guess 19th century technology just wasn't good enough - perhaps he was afraid of blowing himself and his neighbourhood to kingdom come ! Could have been the 19th.century equivalent of the atom bomb. I also believe that the *** did something similar during WW2 with a chemically powered rocket plane which blew up a lot of their pilots ! What I am trying to say is, has anyone else tried to progress this idea now that we have better tecnology in the field of high pressure vessels, and the controlled release of high pressures?
