Yah nos supply the engine with extra oxygen to create more power from combustion. you can see it in an episode of top gear where they put nos in an old jag and it beats a 360,nsx,911 turbo,corovette and wins.

NOS is actually a brand name by Holley Performance. Nitrous Oxide kinda got the nickname NOS from "The Fast and the Furious".

I guess so...you'd be suprised, people just go saying NOS all day long having no idea its a name brand and not the actual chemical compound.

So is it possible for me to make some of my own home made NOS and if so can I add alcohol to the formula

heres what my chem text book says about nitrous oxide
Nitrous Oxide: Laughing Gas that Propels Whipped Cream and Cars
Nitrous Oxide (N2O), more properly called di-nitrogen monoxide, is a compound with very interesting uses. It was discovered in 1772 by Joseph Priestly (who is also given credit for discovering oxygen gas), and its intoxicating effects were noted almost immediately. In 1978 the 20 year-old Humphry Davy became director of the Pneumatic Institute, which was set up to investigate the medical effects of various gases. Davy tested the effects of N2O on himself, reporting that after inhaling 16 quarts of gas in 7 minutes, he became “absolutely intoxicated.”
Over the next century “laughing gas” as nitrous oxide became known, was developed as an anesthetic, particularly for dental procedures. Nitrous oxide is still used as an anesthetic, although it has largely been replaced by more modern drugs.
One major use of nitrous oxide today is as the propellant in cans of “instant” whipped cream. The high solubility of N2O in the whipped cream mixture makes it an excellent candidate for pressurizing the cans of whipping cream.
Another current use for nitrous oxide is to produce “instant horsepower” for hotrods and street racers. Because the reaction of N2O with O2 to form NO actually absorbs heat, this reaction has a cooling effect when placed in the fuel mixture in an automobile engine. The cooling effect lowers combustion temperature, thus allowing the fuel/air mixture to be significantly more dense (the density of a gas is inversely proportional to temperature). This effect can produce a burst in power in excess of 200 horsepower. Because engines are not designed to run steadily at such high power levels, the nitrous oxide is injected from a tank when extra power is desired.
