datzenmike Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Isn't it a hydrogen peroxide rocket engine? 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't think the hydrogen peroxide rockets had any turbine blades, at least the 2 that I saw in person didn't. I saw the Pollution Packer go 314 mph in the quarter while only being on the throttle half way down the track due to not enough room to get it stopped from a higher speed. This was when top fuel cars were going around 225 mph and Jack's Go Kart was going 225. Edited May 24, 2020 by goes2fast 2 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Can also burn a fuel because of the heat and oxygen produced. 1 Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Rocket engines do not have turbine blades to produce thrust. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Yeah, I don't know what those are. 1 Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Looks to be either 3 turbine or jet engines but judging from the racing slick tires I would guess 3 turbine engines of some sort. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment

If Hydrogen peroxide rocket engines, those would be catalyst baskets. Holding some material like Nickle powder to decompose the peroxide. Used in much lower thrust to station keep Satellites, called "Mouse Fart engines" in that employment. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Silver works and potassium peregrinate? I expect that back then there were some not so capable tires expected to stay together above 150. Those slicks may not be driven but rated to 200+? 1 Quote Link to comment
