Abstract (en)
[origin: US4663933A] A drive aggregate is operated independently from the availability of external air, by using a fuel being composed of a blend of hydrocarbons and metal, e.g. lithium hydrides in a pasty, pumpable, i.e., fluidized, condition, and a metal chlorate, e.g., lithium chlorate or metal perchlorate is used as an oxidizer, having been rendered fluid in a high concentration by the addition of water so that the oxidizer, when decomposing, yields oxygen which combines with hydrogen released from the fuel. Reaction products remain, or are pumped into the tanks or into the ambient sea.
