Abstract:
1. A fluid slug launcher, comprising: a fluid container having a first end and an opposing end, with side walls substantially parallel to a straight axis, a substantially unrestricted exit opening at said first end of said container through which contained fluid can forward exit said container, and a second opening at the aft opposing end of said container; and a moveable piston positioned inside the side walls of said container constrained to travel inertially forward inside said container with the contained fluid in a direction parallel to said axis of said container in response to a rapid deceleration of said container, said container having an external cross section of like shape but smaller than the internal cross section of said side walls of said container, and shaped to form a seal restricting said contained fluid from substantial leaking from said second opening of said container during prior forward acceleration.
