NOS... Seems to do the same thing as nitromethane, and seems to be more readily available. Just walking home from class today, and wondering why it wasn't used. It carries oxygen, like the nitromethane... There are probably big reasons I am just brainfarting on right now. Is it a liquid at room temp?

Thanks, John Cadwell

The cool part would be sticking a NOS sticker on the side of the heli. Everybody in town I call about nitromethane initially wants me to call some rice rocket shop that stocks NOS. So I started thinking, hmmm.... Mix it with the methanol, and oil, and burn that... Why are people stuck on nitromethane? NOS is usually pressurized in the bottle, but is that for dispensing it, or to pressurize it into a liquid?

Thanks, John Cadwell

50 years ago nitromethane might have been the only thing easily available... Are we stuck in a rut? Am I stupid? Both valid questions.

I and my brother owned a 285 inch rear engine dragster (he drove......i turned the wrenchs as crew cheif) and many other hot rods with NOS on them........from my experiences with NOS it is not something that is a TOY or HOBBY. That stuff is very volitile and dangerous. NOS in its straight form would blow the head clean off a motor. When NOS is injected into a car motor extra fuel (gas) is also injected. Straight NOS would blow a motor ski high.......putting NOS on a heli would reguire solenoids (2 of them.... 1 NOS and 1fuel) The fuel that needs to be injected with the NOS would have to be in a presurized tank or have a pump on it and has to be set at the exact pressure. Also the tanks are very heavy........especially for a helicopter. I believe that NOS is a gas at room temp so you just cant add it to the fuel.....its in a liquid form in the tank. Well i think i started to half way get off the subject in my thinking process..... I just dont think it is a possibilitie for RC helicopters. Wes

Nitrous Oxcide?

I'm thinking this is the stuff the dentist gives you to relax, laughing gas?

Nitrous....

Howdy!!!
BladeRunner!! It is the same stuff the dentist gives you!!!! Many years ago, in college, I went to a party at a girls(who's dad was a dentist) house and she had a big bottle of the stuff with a nozzle attached so you could fill up rubber balloons with the stuff.. Of course, we just let the balloons go and watched them fly around the room..

John,

NItrous Oxide does do the same as Nitromethane, adds oxygen to the mixture when it is burned. The extra oxygen allows for extra fuel, thats why you get more power. Nitrous oxide is gas at room temp, it has to be pressurized to be stored. If you wanted to run nitrous oxide in your heli, I can think of one possiblity if you like being creative. Nitrous oxide used to be sold in the little CO2 type cylinders you used in BB guns. It was sold in the stores as Whippets, used to whip cream. If you wanted to put a tiny regulator and servo on it, you would run a small hose to the air intake on the carb. You would also need to use a servo to richen up the fuel at the same time. It would create A WHOLE LOT MORE POWER than nitromethane and would probably burn up the piston, but I would be willing to fly to Washington to watch you fly it!!

It would be a blur as it disappeared!

I figured there was a good reason not to use it

I don't want the complication of an injection system at this point anyway. I just wanted to start a debate about something other than Raptors VS the world, or coke vs pepsi. I was holding out hope that it could be mixed to make fuel. Doesn't look like it.

Thanks, John Cadwell

WARNING

Just in case one of the readers has access to medical grade nitrous. If you inhale it straight for any length of time, you will not wake up. PLEASE do not experiment with this stuff! Many a dentist in the old days before they set up a system where you had to have oxygen running would jump on the nitrous "after a hard days work" and died.

Doing whippets or getting it from the whip cream cans will atleast give your brain a chance to get some oxygen... going on straight nitrous will not, no oxygen, no brain...get the picture?
