I think Carolines car was a hybrid rocket with nitrous as the oxidizer and fuel was rubber or oil soaked cardboard or something like that. All mainly home built / designed and impressive, but the peroxide rocket looks like it will be in Vanishing Point territory.
I always thought the main problem with peroxide rockets was getting hold of the HTP, but Eric T seems to manage it....

Anybody know what sort of motor - peroxide/ hybrid / other?
Hydrogen peroxide. Eric T I think is back to distiling his owen.It's a very secret set up with Eric T.In the past when someone has had a hydrogen peroxide rocket propeled vehicle ther has always been articles in magazines ect.But there never seems to be any info on the bike at all,like who built the engine ,how much thrust.He seems to intentionaly keep info about the bike out of the media spotlight?This Rocket Car Ian C is building will need a lot more peroxide than Eric T uses.

funy enough ,just been talking to carolyns other half dave ,,he said they are developing rockets this year,,,he admits that the car dosnt leave hard but over distance could be silly fast,,,i think they burn cardboard tubes with nitrous
Lol, they make me laugh , tens of thousands of pounds , about 5 years in the making and hasn't even made a full pass under power, despite all the bullcrap on the website they really haven't got a clue what they are doing and are too arrogant to listen to the people who designed the propulsion systems and made them work in the first place , the twisted sanity rocket car was built for a laugh, cost about 3k and did a 12 second pass before we chopped it up for scrap, we told them how to make the rockets, we gave them our idea and rocket designs for free hoping they would carry the flag forward but they wanted to claim all the glory for themselves so made many numerous changes to the designs which now don't work properly(the proof is that they have failed to make a pass under full power after all these years), but they will tell you its due to some super safety scientific reasons and have you believe that its all part of a masterplan! They claim to have universities, NASA and lots of aeronautical engineers on their firm but still cant get the car to make a full pass, we are by our own admission a couple of normal engineers with an interest in science who designed a rocket system, built it in a garage and made it work-- laffin gas are just an embaressment with overly large ego's they need to support, i would in all honesty love to see the car they have built do a decent 1/4 mile pass and would also be more than happy to share the original designs for WORKING rockets with anybody who feels they can put them to good use , laffin gas have had there chance and clearly can not!
