Where there some details somewhere? Yeah, I think Paul had a better
source for peroxide than Armadillo seems like a lot of Armadillos work
was done with lower concentrations at least on the bigger motors.

Peroxide/gasoline or kero would seem to benefit from jet engine
technology. Basically treat it like a jet ingesting a lot of water. I
wonder if an annular combustion chamber can be made to withstand the
heat?

That would be reinventing the wheel right now which I'm wanting to
avoid.

What I see so far is a lot of unstable motors with asymmetrical issues.

Check out Paul Breed's peroxide/gasoline engine that flew on one of his
"lander challenge" vehicles: that seemed to be a smooth-running unit
(though well under the 1000 lbf. you contemplate here).
