Abstract
A method for releasing a fluid from a pressure vessel assembly, the method including the steps of providing:—a pressure vessel; a piezo electric device; and an electric field generator; arranging the piezo electric device in a sealed relationship with a part of the pressure vessel, thereby providing the pressure vessel assembly, providing a fluid contained within the pressure vessel assembly under pressure, and using the electric field generator to apply an electric field to the piezo electric device, such that the piezo electric device fails, thereby releasing the fluid from the pressure vessel assembly.

A method for releasing a fluid from a pressure vessel assembly, the method including the steps of providing:
- a pressure vessel;
- a piezo electric device;
- and
- an electric field generator;
- arranging the piezo electric device in a sealed relationship with a part of the pressure vessel, thereby providing the pressure vessel assembly,
- providing a fluid contained within the pressure vessel assembly under pressure, and using the electric field generator to apply an electric field to the piezo electric device, such that the piezo electric device fails, thereby releasing the fluid from the pressure vessel assembly.

A fluid release system including:
- an electric field generator;
- a pressure vessel assembly for containing a fluid under pressure;
- the pressure vessel assembly comprising;
- a pressure vessel;
- and
- a piezo electric device in sealed engagement with a part of the pressure vessel;
- arranged such that applying an electric field to the piezo electric device is capable of causing the piezo electric device to fail thereby releasing fluid from the pressure vessel assembly.
