Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011083252A1] One subject of the present invention is a propulsion method comprising: the injection of at least one liquid oxidant (OX) and hydrogen (H2) into at least one combustion chamber (1); the combustion of said at least one liquid oxidant (OX) and hydrogen (H2) in said at least one combustion chamber (1) in order to generate combustion gases; and ejection of said combustion gases. Said method comprises, upstream of said injection: the generation of at least some of said hydrogen (H2), advantageously all of said hydrogen (H2), from at least one solid compound (5'); said generation from said at least one solid compound (51) comprising a combustion reaction between said at least one solid compound (51), chosen from alkali metal borohydrides, alkaline-earth borohydrides, borazane, polyaminoboranes and mixtures thereof, and an oxidizing charge (5"). Another subject of the present invention is also a propulsion device suitable for implementing said method.
