propellant

With the war in Ukraine, global demand for explosives and propellants has also been high.

Depending on the type of rocket fuel used, launches produce nitrogen oxides, chlorine, black carbon particles, water vapor, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide — and no propellant avoids creating of some kind of emissions.

Nitrous oxide also has industrial uses to increase the power of internal combustion engines, and as an aerosol propellant for foods like whipped cream.

This is a high-strength container used to store helium gas, which is critical for pressurizing the rocket’s propellant tanks and ensuring proper fuel flow to its engines.

These were the propellants for the blaze of rage fanned by the world's richest man, Elon Musk, via his social media platform X, demanding a national public inquiry.
