At Edwards AFB/AFRL a hybrid using frozen hydrogen with LOx as the oxidizer
was tried at the gram scale.
Good ISP/c* but at minus 450F it did need insulation in the form of a
vacuum.

Wikipedia says "Titanium is one of the few elements that burns in pure
nitrogen gas". Maybe for a liquid air hybrid you could make use of the
nitrogen as well? Otherwise, I can't see how it would be superior to
lithium hydride or aluminum hydride.

Readily available from some pyrotech suppliers, and reasonably priced.
Ideas or applications, anyone?
