has anyone thought of doing this?

I actually read up on this before... The problem is That oxygen doesn't like to be in a pure state, it likes to stick to other elements. Nitrous is the best since int he combustion process it seperates with no ill effects, as well as not being overly combustable until it's under the pressure of a combustion chamber.

Safety, transportation, and easier to make, that and it has the same exact result as using pure Oxygen. Also, the fact that it's not pure oxygen, since in the state of being "pure" it's actually O2, as it wants to bond to something, even itself. It's a lot of chemistry, but the nitrous it just a carrier, and a reliable one at that...
