Does the sublimation create enough constant pressure to power a small engine?
-- JeremiahBritt, Dec 02 2004


Haven't done the full calculation but anything converting to gas should, given sufficient volume. Plenty of chemical reactions would do, but dry ice is the one of the top of my head that is "safe".

Like 'dry ice bomb' "safe". Just Kidding. Cool idea.
