Bruno,
another path to a (igniter-less) ignition of a motor with N2O as an oxidizer may be the catalytic decomposition of N2O. However, it looks like there is still a lot of research to be done: https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/10.2514/1.B38204

Betreff: [AR] Hypergolics with N2O?
Does anybody know about chemicals which are hypergolic with N2O? I know TEA and TEB are, but that's nasty stuff. Someone told me that Silane (SiH4 and the heavier molecules) may be hypergolic as well. That's also nasty stuff, but more available that TEA. It might be soluble in conventional fuels like Ethane/Ethene/Propane etc. But I haven't found much about the hypergolic behavior...
Cheers Bruno
