"""
Nitrous oxide Oxidizer/Fuel Blend Optimized Breakdown System (NOFBOBS)
PI: Greg Mungas, Firestar Engineering
An optimized liquid Monopropellant blend with the following
characteristics:
1) 300s vacuum equivalent Isp (demonstrated);
2) Propellant density 1-2 times that of tanked monopropellant
hydrazine;
3) <-80 deg C freezing point;
4) 10fold improvement in impulse bit
5) Non-toxic,
6) Self-pressurizing,
7) Low cost manufacturing.

It's mentioned in a couple of other places on the web with even fewer
details. Does anyone here have more information about this? What fuel
is premixed with the nitrous oxide? Does it use an igniter? a catalyst?
preheated catalyst? What is "impulse bit"? is the mixture potentially
detonable?
