I'm told the Soviet Union used hydroproxide torpedos, or they used the hydroproxide like a fuel soucre with its chemical reaction. Well I'm interested in learning more about(everything about) the engine systems they used, or how they had it set up, i wanna know any-and everything there is to know about it, I'd like to know the ratios they used, I'm told it was 8oz. of water mixed with 1 drop of proxide to make the desired chemical reaction. please any and every single bit of info history, specs(really), and anything thanks abunch!
I'm not using it to make torpedos, REALLY. figured i'd clear that up.

Early torpedoes used hydrogen peroxide to provide oxygen for the burning of fuel, (alcohol), to drive the propellers.
Some used the decomposition of concentrated H peroxide on a catalyst, (Manganese dioxide eg), to produce steam and gas to drive the prop.
"8 Oz. of water to one drop of peroxide"? - Your friend is mistaken. That concentration is too weak for just about anything.
Do not attempt to experement with concentrated hydrogen peroxide without guidance from some-one who knows what they're doing.
(Not your "8 Oz." friend).
