Nitrous oxide, N2O, has an excellent record of safety overall in its widespread use in dentistry. It is an oxidizer and thus has the same types of hazards as oxygen - it can cause fires or explosions by making combustible or explosive combinations with other fuel materials. read more
Nitrous oxide (which can be combined with those technologies) takes a different approach. Rather than pump air to move more of it into the engine, nitrous chills the air, making it much denser and greatly increasing the amount of oxygen by volume - the denser the air, the closer together its molecules, the more oxygen one has available. read more
