Abstract:
1. A gas generator comprising: a housing; a perforate primary gas generant combustion chamber containing a first perforation; a primary gas generant contained within said primary gas generant chamber; a perforate booster chamber operatively associated with said primary gas generant chamber, said perforate booster chamber containing a second perforation; an auto-ignition booster composition contained within said booster chamber, said auto-ignition booster composition containing a primary fuel, a basic constituent, a metallic oxidizer, and a catalyst; an igniter for igniting said composition within said booster chamber, for combusting said primary gas generant; a perforate auto-ignition chamber in thermal communication with said housing, said auto-ignition chamber containing a third perforation; an adsorbent in vapor communication with said primary gas generant chamber prior to actuation of said gas generator; at least one permeable material covering the second and third perforations; and an auto-ignition composition contained within said auto-ignition chamber, wherein said primary gas generant chamber, said booster chamber, and said auto-ignition chamber are in vapor communication with each other prior to activation of said gas generator, and, said perforate auto-ignition chamber is separate from said perforate booster chamber.
