Very different time, place, and circumstances (WWII). If I'm not
mistaken, the X1 which broke the sound barrier was based on the Me163,
and yet another time, place, circumstances, and results.
>How did the guy turn H2 into H2O2?
I'm not sure the article said, I assumed the same basic way they make
~90% H2O2 for the rocket belts, distillation in a glass apparatus, but
I don't really know.

Is this for wood gas, because I only learned of wood gas out here and
have never studied the process. After spending a lot of time on
relatively known processes like solar thermal concentration, fuel
cells, and hydrogen production, I concluded, for me anyway, that on a
DIY home-scale, I'd get further down the road by sticking to "tried
and true" methods - plants for producing ethanol or oil to run an
I.C.E.
