An incendiary capsule

摘要

An incendiary capsule (10) has a body (14) forming a single compartment containing a first part (18) of a two part ignition system and a quantity of a pyrotechnic heat source (PHS) (16). The capsule (10) is initiated by injecting, when ready for use, a quantity of a second part of the two part ignition system. The ignition system generates sufficient heat to initiate the PHS (16), which burns at a substantially higher temperature than the ignition system.
