Abstract
A gas generator to provide gases under pressure to inflate a vehicular air bag. A capsular enclosure contains a fluid gas-generating charge. The enclosure has a non-pyrotechnic initiator, a frangible wall portion, and a chamber with a major portion of its volume on the other side of the frangible wall portion from the initiator. Various chamber and nozzle configurations provide for different initial pressures and temperatures, and times from maximum pressure or ambient pressure. Successive bursts are possible.
