Blue Flame

Blue Flame was constructed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by Reaction Dynamics, a company formed by Pete Farnsworth, Ray Dausman and Dick Keller, who had developed the first hydrogen peroxide rocket dragster,[2] called the X-1 and driven by Chuck Suba.

A stable flame front is established and the remaining liquified natural gas (LNG) is injected to bring the engine to full power.

[7] Nominal engine running time was 20 seconds at full thrust of 22,500 lbf (100 kN), the equivalent of 58,000 hp (43 MW).

[citation needed] Reaction Dynamics subsequently modified the LNG flow in the two-stage injector system to almost halve the maximum thrust.

[12] Goodyear designed 8:00-25 tires for the vehicle, with an outside diameter of 34.8 in (880 mm) and smooth tread surface to help prevent heat buildup, filled with nitrogen gas at 350 psi (24 bar).
