But is it possible that 66/33 is just a product of being the best mix that is easy to make in 2 steps? Is it really the absolute best? I have a hunch that the real answer is close to 66/33 but was such a pain to create that nobody ever bothered. What do you think?
33/66 is the most optimal mixture to heat up your gases, any other mixture and you'd essentially be wasting fuel.
However instead of just dumping plasma into both the hot and cold side you could add only a few moles of plasma into the hot side to allow for more expansion before the pipes burst, and then dump the remainder into the pipes when they eventually do burst.
It is starting to seem to me that it is a mistake (as long as you practice safe venting) not to ALSO turn your hot pipes into a combustion chamber, although the 33/66 mix burns the plasma too fast. You want more plasma than oxy in yer pipes.
I cannot stress this enough- if you are not 100% sure you know how and where to vent, you are gonna get yourself and others killed doing this.
