Editing T-Stoff (section)

== Uses ==
The decomposition of T-Stoff into hot steam and oxygen caused by the addition of the catalyst [[Z-Stoff]] (an aqueous solution of [[permanganate]]s) was used to drive the split-tube steam catapults which launched the [[V-1 flying bomb]].<ref>S Zaloga, V-1 Flying Bomb 1942-52: Hitler's infamous "doodlebug". Osprey, {{ISBN|1-8490-8967-1}}, 2011 page 7</ref>

Similarly generated steam was used to drive the [[turbopump]] in the German [[V-2 rocket|V2]] rocket, and the pumps in several other rocket engines. The turbopump was used to transport fuel and oxidizer liquids under pressure to the rocket engine of the V2.<ref>[[Oberkommando des Heeres]] ed., Das Gerät A4 Baureihe B, Berlin 1945, German.</ref>

Another of T-Stoff's many uses was to be combined as the oxidizer, with [[C-Stoff]] ([[methanol]]–[[hydrazine]]–water mixture) as the fuel, in the [[bipropellant]] [[Walter HWK 109-509]] engine of the [[Messerschmitt Me 163]] and [[Messerschmitt Me 263]], at a ratio of approximately 3.1 parts T-Stoff oxidizer to one part C-Stoff fuel. Because the two substances were so visually similar, a complex testing system was developed to make sure that each propellant was put into the correct tanks of the Messerschmitt Me 163. This was because T-Stoff and C-Stoff are [[hypergolic]] propellants: they spontaneously ignite when mixed at normal temperatures. Even slight contamination between the T-Stoff oxidizer and the C-Stoff fuel was likely to cause an explosion.

Catalytic decomposition of T-Stoff by Z-Stoff was also used as a [[monopropellant]] in several "cold" [[Hellmuth Walter Kommanditgesellschaft|Walter]] rocket engines, including early versions of the engine for the Me 163A, and [[JATO|rocket-assisted takeoff]] pack engines like the [[Walter HWK 109-500]].
