2. Pyrotechnic initiator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrotechnic_initiator

   Another common igniter formula is BPN, BKNO3, or boron – potassium nitrate, a mixture of 25% boron and 75% potassium nitrate by weight. It is used e.g. by NASA . It is thermally stable, stable in vacuum, and its burn rate is independent of pressure.

3. Condensed aerosol fire suppression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensed_aerosol_fire...

   The hot aerosol fire suppression technology went through several generations: gen I (oil tank suppression system) and gen II (potassium nitrate-based, efficient but with corrosive byproducts) denoted as K-type systems, then gen III (boosted strontium salt-based, less deliquescent and generating less corrosive byproducts) denoted as S-type systems.

4. Potassium nitrate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrate

   Potassium nitrate can be made by combining ammonium nitrate and potassium hydroxide. NH 4 NO 3 + KOH → NH 3 + KNO 3 + H 2 O. An alternative way of producing potassium nitrate without a by-product of ammonia is to combine ammonium nitrate, found in instant ice packs, [30] and potassium chloride, easily obtained as a sodium-free salt substitute.

   Tractor Supply Company (also known as TSCO or TSC), founded in 1938, is an American chain store that sells home improvement, agriculture, lawn and garden maintenance, livestock, equine and pet care equipment and supplies. It caters to farmers, ranchers, pet owners, and landowners.

6. Potassium nitrate (data page) - Wikipedia

   Chronic Exposure: Under some circumstances methemoglobinemia occurs in individuals when the nitrate is converted by bacteria in the stomach to nitrite. Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, rapid heart beat, irregular breathing, convulsions, coma, and death can occur should this conversion take place.

7. Thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

   This features a 12,000 m 3 (420,000 cu ft) reinforced concrete thermal store linked to 4,300 m 2 (46,000 sq ft) of solar collectors, which will supply the 570 houses with around 50% of their heating and hot water. Siemens-Gamesa built a 130 MWh thermal storage near Hamburg with 750 °C in basalt and 1.5 MW electric output.
