Abstract
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.

An incendiary capsule consisting of:
- a capsule body defining and enclosing a single compartment, the capsule body having a side wall closed at opposite ends by respective outer end walls, each end wall having a surface exterior to the compartment;
- a quantity of a pyrotechnic heat source (PHS) in the form of powder or granules disposed in the single compartment;
- and,
- a quantity of a first part only of a two part ignition system disposed in the single compartment with the PHS so as to contact the PHS, the first part being reactive with a liquid second part of the ignition system which when introduced into the capsule body and contacted by the first part in the capsule body causes an exothermic reaction which generates sufficient heat to ignite the PHS, wherein an injector is used to inject the liquid second part into the capsule body.
