When exposed to platinum, hydrogen peroxide or H2O2 (pure undiluted) explodes into oxygen and steam which produces the thrust! HH omnicognic

I actually soak my contacts in a H2O2 solution with a platinum disk in the bottom. Over the course of 24 hours the solution becomes saline. Stings when you put the wrong solution in eye however! :o

Great post. I've got some old roman coins I bought off eBay that I've never cleaned. I think I'll try one in the h2o2 this weekend.
