https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitromethane
From that article:
Nitromethane, however, has a lower specific energy: gasoline provides about 42–44 MJ/kg, whereas nitromethane provides only 11.3 MJ/kg. This analysis indicates that nitromethane generates about 2.3 times the power of gasoline when combined with a given amount of oxygen.
Doesn't seem to make sense to this bear of very little brain.
I note that it has some of its own oxygen.
I note the weights in kg. How does that work out in terms of volumetric comparisons?
I also note the term "when combined with a
given amount of oxygen."
I
also note the phrase "2.3 times the
power."
Should Wiki have explained that better, or do I need more coffee?
Me brainblocked? It's happened before to I.
Halp?
