Abstract: Separate pressure vessels for oxidizer and fuel components in a combustion/decomposition system add weight and complexity to the system. The fuel and oxidizer can be pre-mixed within a single pressure vessel, but can be unacceptably volatile in a mixed configuration. Providing separate fuel and oxidizer compartments within a singular pressure vessel reduces the weight and complexity of the system, while maintaining the non-volatility of separately stored fuel and oxidizer. The fuel and oxidizer can be selectively mixed within the pressure vessel when desired.
