An inflator from which gas is released using a shock wave is provided. The inflator includes an inflator housing that contains stored gas. A first end of the inflator housing has an initiator assembly connected thereto and with a burst disc being adjacent a second end thereof. The burst disc opens when the burst pressure thereof is exceeded by a reflected shock wave. Upon escape from the inflator housing, the stored gas and any other gas that is generated are supplied to an air bag or other inflatable at a relatively cooler temperature. |
