Can you imagine what would happen if pure oxygen were injected into a jet engine? How long do you suppose it would last before it melted or seized?That would be something to see. I'm sure it was done way back in the day on the test platforms.

You know, you’re probably right. The guys who did the early testing on jet engines were a pretty swashbuckling breed.

When I was a teenager, I hopped up a flat-heat 4 stroke briggs and stratton single cylinder motor with a reamed out fuel orifice and a small oxygen cylinder & hose running to the air cleaner. I melted the muffler off before the engine died.
