  • Patent number: 4673528
    Abstract: A solid fuel for generating H.sub.2 or D.sub.2 gases, comprising magnesium orohydride diammoniate (MBDA) or its deuterated analog as the H.sub.2 or D.sub.2 source, an oxidizer selected from LiNO.sub.3 and KNO.sub.3, and a binder of polytetrafluoroethylene is a thermally stable gas generator composition which yields greater than 12.5 weight percent H.sub.2 or D.sub.2. The MBDA weight percentages by weight ranges from 80-90, the oxidizer ranges from 5-15, and the binder ranges from 2-15.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 1985
    Date of Patent: June 16, 1987
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army
    Inventors: Glen D. Artz, Louis R. Grant
  • Patent number: 4525226
    Abstract: A solid propellant gas generator for producing greater than 50-weight percent pure nitrogen gas comprising a stoichiometric blend of sodium azide, NaN.sub.3, and sodium sulfate, Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4, and ballistic modifiers.
