Abstract
A pyrotechnic electrical generator including an initiator charge mechanism, one or more field poles and an armature that creates a magnetic field, and a coil that produces an electric current is disclosed herein. The armature is positioned within a bore extending through the one or more field poles, and the initiator charge mechanism is positioned in proximity to the armature. The initiator charge mechanism when activated creates a pressure that drives the armature from one end of the bore to the other end of the bore. As the armature travels through the field poles, it creates an alternating magnetic flux in the field poles inducing an alternating current in the coil. The coil then carries the current to a storage device, for example a capacitor and/or battery, or applies the current to one or more other devices as an ignition charge.
