Title:
A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE PREPARATION AND USAGE OF A CRYOGENIC PROPELLANT OR EXPLOSIVE SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002101221
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention describes a method and apparatus for remotely forming a mixture of liquid oxygen ("LOX") and liquid methane ("LNG"), with the mixture commonly referred to as MOX, such that the LOX and LNG never contact each other until inside the container in which the mixture will be used. The method disallows contact between the LOX and the LNG in order to prevent the premature or inadvertent explosive combustion that can occur in a variety of ways. The method provides a way to deactivate the MOX mixture, even after the MOX mixture has been formed. The invention also contemplates various apparatuses that will allow the method to be practiced.
