We were not going to use the Hydrogen peroxide fueled engine as an aircraft motor, but rather as a motor for large trucks. There was no supplemental Hydrogen pumped into the engine, just what was carried to it in the peroxide.
The peroxide hits alternating nickel and silver screens, and they act as a catalyst, splitting off the extra oxygen. We used it because it was an easily portable fuel.
The engine is VERY efficient, the steam can be produced from ANY source. We had plans for it in fixed installations too.
The blimp was going to be STRICTLY Solar powered. Back then, it would have been MUCH heavier than it would be now, but I don't have the money to do it, and no one was interested then, they won't be interested now. Sooner or later, some rich bitch like Sir Bransen (I think that is "Mr Virgin Airlines name), will slap, what to him is Espresso money down, have it built, and go into the record books, obscene amounts of money thrown at a project have a a way of insuring the desired result, if you rule out Pilot error on the flight.
