	Nitrous Oxide
		Nitrous oxide was negative in three carcinogenicity assays in mice and rats exposed to concentrations as high as 400,000 ppm for 4 hours/day, 5 days/week for 78 weeks [ACGIH 1991].
		Nitrous oxide should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly sealed containers that are labeled in accordance with OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard [29 CFR 1910.1200].
		Nitrous oxide should also be stored separately from aluminum, boron, hydrazine, lithium hydride, phenyllithium, phosphine, sodium, tungsten carbide, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, organic peroxides, ammonia, and carbon monoxide.

		The structure of the nitrous oxide molecule is a linear chain of a nitrogen atom bound to a second nitrogen atom, which in turn is bound to an oxygen atom.
		Nitrous oxide also attacks ozone in the stratosphere, aggravating the excess amount of UV striking the earth's surface in recent decades (various freons and related halogenated organics also consume ozone in the stratosphere).

	Nitrous Oxide Injection
		Injection of nitrous oxide into the combustion chambers of an internal combustion engine as a way to increase power output was discovered by the German air craft industry early in the Second World War.
		Nitrous oxide has this effect because it has a higher percentage of oxygen content than does the air in the atmosphere.
		Simply stated, nitrous oxide injection is very much like a supercharger or a compression ratio increase in that, during combustion, it can dramatically increase the dynamic cylinder pressure in the engine.

		Nitrous oxide is an oxidizing agent used to increase an engine's power output by allowing for faster burning of a fuel (usually gasoline).
		Nitrous oxide is stored as a liquid in tanks, but because of its low boiling point it will vaporize when it enters a cylinder during the intake stroke.
		The purpose of a nitrous purge is to ensure that the correct amount of nitrous oxide is delivered the moment the system is activated—air or gaseous nitrous oxide in the line will cause the car to "bog" for an instant until liquid nitrous oxide reaches the intake.

		While not permitted by most race governing bodies, some enthusiasts mount their nitrous bottles in the passenger compartment so the bottle valve can be turned on and off without having to make a trip to the trunk, or purchasing additional accessories to open the bottle valve with a remote-mounted switch.
		The base of the nozzle is where the nitrous jet is installed; the jet is simply a brass cone with a tiny orifice to control the volume of nitrous that makes it to the engine.
		Since nitrous oxide systems receive some of their fuel from the factory fuel system, it's important that the nitrous isn't triggered unless the factory fuel system is delivering as much fuel as possible — this means not firing the nitrous unless the engine is at wide-open throttle.
