[edit] Peroxide as fuel

There are some links to this article from submarine articles that talk about the use of peroxide as fuel. Could someone who is familiar with this add some text on that subject? Thank you. -- Jeff Q 10:53, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

I will move those links to hydrogen peroxide, since that is the peroxide they are talking about. I will copy your comments to Talk:Hydrogen peroxide. Securiger 01:38, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I have also heard that John Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace wanted to use 90 % peroxide as fuel for their rocket (but couldn't get it). Anyone qualified to comment on peroxide's use as submarine or rocket fuel? :) Brutulf 18:37, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)

See above re copying comments. BTW I find it difficult to believe that an aerospace researcher could not obtain 90% H2O2; it is reasonably common as an industrial chemical. Securiger 01:38, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Going back to WWII german and japanes rocket planes uses

hydrogen peroxide as fuel. Solid peroxide have disadvantages over Ammoniuperchlorate which is normaly used. Stone 19:58, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] From PNA/Chemicals: cleanup request

• Peroxide needs to be cleaned up to a higher standard. It can refer to hydrogen peroxide in common use or other kinds of peroxides in chemistry. Perhaps it needs to be changed into a disambiguation listing different kinds of peroxides. --King of Hearts 01:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

This is just a mess. A disambiguation page might be a good idea...Or perhaps a sentence at the top (peroxide can also refer to hydrogen peroxide, a common rocket fuel, etc.

Also, the organization is bad. why dont't we just split it up into chemical properties, occurance/manufacturing and use?Ed-it 02:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
