How Does ROG Work?
Oxygen is produced by the thermal decomposition of sodium chlorate within the ROG. This decomposition requires a significant amount of energy input to drive the chlorate decomposition. The source of this energy is the oxidation of iron powder (formulated with the sodium chlorate as a fuel). The initial energy input from the interaction between chlorate and primer is generated by the initiation mechanism, in this case a phosphorous match.
