Superheat: A term used in airship piloting to denote the difference in temperature between the gas in the airship's envelope and the surrounding atmosphere.
Pure hydrogen peroxide is relatively stable, but in contact with the catalyst (for example, silver) it decomposes into a mixture of superheated steam and oxygen in less than 1/10 millisecond increasing in volume 5000 times: 2 H2O2 = 2 H2O + O2.
