I think someone needs to let off some steam! :)

Pure hydrogen peroxide is relatively stable, but in contact with the catalyst it decomposes into a mixture of superheated steam and oxygen in less than 1/10 millisecond increasing in volume 5000 times: 2 H2O2 = 2 H2O + O2. The reaction is exothermic, i.e. with liberation of much heat, forming in this case a steam-gas mixture at 740 °C. This hot gas is used exclusively as the reaction mass and is directly led to one or more jet nozzles.

Different ... hydrogen peroxide? errrmm isnt that a bit dangerous, the other component that goes with it classically for a dual part rocket fuel is a little volatile when mixed. Still I can only imagine it must be pretty intense and exciting! :)
