Nomenclature

Gas generators are widely used for numerous applications in the aerospace and defense power and propulsion industries and most application’s functional requirements drive the selection of the gas generator configuration and chemistry. Many of the industry standard gas generator concepts use toxic chemicals and/or produce toxic hot gas combustion species. Existing chemicals and configurations limit some applications and non-toxic needs exist for current and future gas generator applications. Novel solid-like concepts using hydrogen peroxide can provide non-toxic chemicals which produce hot gas sources with low temperatures and less toxic gas species and combustion products which will enable new types of non-toxic gas generators
