Mono-propellant rockets also use hydrogen peroxide - usually at 80 to
90%. They like to demonstrate it's danger by pouring it over a
pine-cone, and the heat of the reaction promptly causes it to burst into
flames. ERPS is one group that has specialized in researching
mono-propellant rocketry. They have a site at : http://www.erps.org
