Abstract
A pyrotechnic self-consuming battery for emergency booster battery applications. Such a system can only be used once as the battery self-destructs but could be very useful for emergency starting of cars, trucks or airplanes. This invention allows for a system weighing approximately {fraction (1/50)}th that of existing systems with comparable significant reductions in volume. An essentially infinite shelf life also obtains with the invention.
