Dang it !
No kidding, I've been noodling about finding a more stable form of Nitroglycerin for years.
And this brilliant little rug rat beat me to it !
Grr.
For those of you who haven't figured it out, Nitro can store whopping amounts of energy, but we can't use it to power our cars. One little pothole, and BOOM !
Major disincentive to the consumer.
But... a stabilized form of Nitro... something that ONLY became unstable when exposed to high amounts of heat...
You could spray this into a piston chamber, one tiny droplet at a time, zap it with 100,000 volts and BANG ! Pulse detonation.
Pocket-sized jet engines would be possible.
JetPacks would be practical. Even flying cars !
All we'd need is sufficient solar energy to synthesize the Nitro-9, and our dependence on oil would be over.
And this kid beat me to it.
Why didn't I take Chemistry when I was ten ?
