Reasons for selection of molten lithium as fuel for investigation at General Motors Co and use of hydrogen peroxide as oxidizer; test facility consisted of enclosed, converted jet engine test cell; results of 36 bipropellant runs; it is found that rocket motor performance of lithium may be experimentally examined in simple all-liquid system; lithium-decomposed H2O2 reaction is shown to be hypergolic, stable, and controllable.
