Larry,
Oh, there are a couple of us out there, but not many that knew Werner Von Braun,
personally. I mention his name because those hydrogen peroxide units were used
on
his V-2 rockets in WW II to drive the turbine fuel and oxidizer pumps. We used
them on the Redstone improved copy we built for the Army (him) in the 50's.
Had one we put in the back of a jet plane as an actual rocket motor, rather
than a
steam generator. It was called a "Scram Jet", and boy, that's what it did. The
pilot was supposed to kick it in when he really wanted to scoot out.
What was the first Stellar Personal Transporter?
Why, the "Sun Beam", of course!
The first Interstellar Transporter was going to be the Sunbeam Tiger, but they
couldn't get all the leaks sealed with surplus WW I ship's tar. {9->
