   Nyrath the nearly wise to All   
   Specific Impulse of cyclic ozone?

   The attached article notes that Dr. Robert Levis et al   
   at Temple University's Center for Advanced Photonics   
   Research is attempting to manufacture cyclic ozone.   
      
   It goes on to state that while mundane ozone contains   
   about 1.5 volts in its molecular bonds, cyclic ozone   
   has about 3.0 volts.  Utilized as an oxidizer   
   with hydrogen fuel, "rockets could be able to carry   
   one-third more payload".   
      
   Does anybody have any figures on the approximate   
   specific impulse of a hydrogen-cyclic ozone rocket?
