First of all, what is the liquid fuel that burns with the highest temperature possible? It must have a very high viscosity - able to fit through a hole a few microns wide.
Also, it must be able to be lit with a standard static arc (like those found in butane cigarette lighters).. or, I would need a small igniting mechanism that can attain super high temperatures.
I also need a material that can withstand very high pressure - I am thinking carbon fiber.
Then, I will need a rocket scientist (or physics major) to calculate how large a hole will be necesary to have the fuel burn off completely four feet or so after exiting the nozzle at 5000psi (or whatever pressure today's carbon fiber can handle.)
This is gonna be neato.
Picture so far: An inert gas pressures the liquid chamber. A microscopic nozzle lets out a thin stream of fuel at precisely the right speed to have it burn off completely about four feet from exit after being ignited by the arc switch which simultaneously opens the nozzle.
