Dan sent me a reference to "Liquox", a 40% solution of sodium permanganate that is commercially available, which sounds like a heck of a lot better deal than mixing 5% solutions of potassium permanganate ourselves for liquid catalyst experiments. We just got a price quote, and it is $3.14 / lb in five gallon (57 lbs) quantities, with prices obviously dropping at drum quantities. Since you only need 1% or so in catalyst, this is quite inexpensive. If we decide to make a big liquid catalyst motor, we could use stabilized peroxide at half the cost of the ultra-pure we currently use. John Carmack
