Claims6
A method of supplying generated gas to expand an inflatable structure without the production of substantial water vapor during gas generation, comprising the steps of:
- a. preparing a mixture consisting essentially of:
- 1. an oxidizer which does not contain hydrogen, said oxidizer being selected from the group consisting of metal chlorates and perchlorates;
- 2. a carbon material selected from the group consisting of carbon black and graphite;
- 3. a carbonate coolant;
- b. burning said mixture to produce a gas;
- and
- c. directing the gas into the inflatable structure.
