Good finds on the patent application. Based on the correlation between the length of a chemical's name and its price on Sigma Aldrich, I wonder how much that little model rocket cost in propellant. Another patent says that all you have to do is oxidize 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole to form 3,3'-azo-1,2,4-triazole, nitrate that, and viola, 5,5′-dinitro-3,3′azo-1,2,4-triazole. That is one of the most impressive patent claims I've seen in years. If they actually own the entire field of solid bipropellant rockets that will be quite a feat.
