Has anyone ever heard of shooting an engine with oxygen? One of my freinds was talking about it and said it should work out alright and went in on all this other stuff about it.
Will it actually put out any results?

Pure oxygen has a funny way of reacting with a lot of different elements including aluminum. NASA uses a aluminum oxide in the rocket boosters for the space shuttle. Using pure oxygen in your engine will 'burn' the pistons before you can say 'go'.
100% pure oxygen would burn too quickly, and destroy your pistons. I am sure someone in the history of automobiles has tried it.
As mentioned before, air is only 21% oxygen, and 78% nitrogen. THe nitrogen acts as a sort of "catalyst" (right word?) to slow the oxygen burning. NItrous oxides only power potential lies in its oxygen ratio. It is 33% oxygen, and 66% nitrogen. Hence, N201.

exactly...pure oxygen will just burn up your motor...nitrous is like.. -127* or something like that...it also contains lubrcation additives [img]smile.gif[/img]
As said above, oxygen has this interesting property that in the presense of a pure enough form, pretty much anything will burn (e.g. oxidize), metals included.
I had this friend that used to work for a medical supply company. This means he had access to all kinds of fun stuff that he would sometime borrow and sometimes even pay for. Well, he acquired one of those medical grade oxygen tanks (that you usually see really old guys with), you know, the small green ones.
He had (and I do mean past tense) this Go-Ped and lo-and-behold the OxyTank fit almost perfect on the platform (or zip-tied to the upright).
The screw top bottle opener was right in reach and it wasn't to far to lay some medical tube back to the "intake" of the tiny engine. That's right, just cracking the bottle and letting the Oxygen trickle into the intake was enough to test out his grand idea.
It was quite a bit of pep for that little engine. Of course as you opened the bottle up some more the oxygen was greedily devoured by the hungry little engine-that-used-to-but-doesn't-anymore-because-a-hole-was-burned-in-the-piston.
