- Probably before you add the acetylene, but not afterwards. Warren's
- _Rocket_Propellants_ says that "Some investigators have used 100 per
- cent ozone in a rocket system.... Organic compounds sensitize ozone
- and must be maintained below a concentration of 20 ppm..." If you
- want to burn a flow rather than a batch, that might work.

- I bet you could do better than LOX/acetylene... LF2/LH2 might be
- a good candidate.
