International ClassC06B 045/30AbstractA metal fuel for producing power for propulsion is disclosed. The fuel is made up of a metal core, a metal barrier and an oxidizer layer. The combination of materials disclosed provides a means for melting the metal core so that it can be oxidized in an exothermic reaction to produce power. The metal fuel may also be stabilized with respect to auto-ignition by adding a binder layer. A method for producing the metal fuel is also described herein.Field of SearchComponent base contains an inorganic explosive or inorganic thermic constituentCoating contains organic compound Solid particles dispersed in solid solution or matrix Continuous phase contains organic material Resin contains fluorine, bromine or iodine Composite powder (e.g., coated, etc.) Coated Including synthetic resin or polymer | |
