Hydrazine or hydrogen peroxide can be used as monopropellant, and it's still rocket engines, even without combustion.

- bryanlarsen 5y agoTrue, but it's still a highly exothermic decomposition, the energy comes from a chemical reaction, unlike ARCA's silliness.
- avmich 5y agoBut it's not combustion. I guess you meant something else. Now you label they approach; do you think laying boundary line this way looks obviously correct? Say, nuclear rocket engines heat up gases - also without chemical reaction; resistor jets also have reasonable history in rocketry - why ARCA's approach is wrong?
- SonicScrub 5y agoBecause their vehicle ISP is ~90-100. Plug that number into the rocket equation and see how much delta-v you get.
