Abstract
A chemical oxygen generator with enhanced structural integrity. In some embodiments, the chemical core of the chemical oxygen generator is reinforced with one or more reinforcing structures that are integral with the core. In some embodiments, as the core burns, the one or more reinforcing structures become fused with the core.
Claims20
A chemical oxygen generator comprising a chemical core and one or more rods that extend at least partially through the chemical core.
A chemical core comprising at least one reinforcing structure that extends through the chemical core and that is integral with the chemical core, wherein a melting point of the at least one reinforcing structure is greater than a melting point of the chemical core.
A method of forming a chemical core comprising:
- providing the chemical core comprising a plurality of powder particles;
- pressing one or more reinforcing structures into the plurality of powder particles;
- and
- pressurizing the chemical core such that the plurality of powder particles adhere to one another and adhere to the one or more reinforcing structures.
