Default MEMS Rocket Fabric Fuel?

I see the following development arcs;


MEMSbased rockets,MEMsbased inertial guidance,MEMSbased life

Conventional liquidfuelrockets built withMEMscomponents around
existing aeroshell and tankage technology.


Creation of fully reusable cryogenic and non-cryogenic liquidfuel
rockets with aforementioned components.


1) commercial moon tourism flights
2) development of global wireless hotspot


If you positMEMSrockets operating across entire surfaces, like millions
of inkjet printers, what do you suppose is the best chemicalfuel?

Hypergolics?

How reactive are those with the Si materials used inMEMSconstruction?

Just curious,

Dave


I didn't see this last year, but somehow saw it this year. Please
note that MEMS devices can be made out of a far broader range of
material than Silicon

Small aerospike engines made of refractory metals have been made that
operate with conventional fuels and oxidizers. Hydrogen peroxide
oxidizer with methane fuel for testing. Testing is ongoing with
liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen combination at reasonably high
pressures.

With these we will make propulsive skins
