Abstract

A firing mechanism (25) for activation of a pneumatic stored energy system having a motor (50) connected to a vessel (20) by a tether, the vessel (20) containing a pressurized fluid. Activation of the motor (50) causes the tether to wind, applying a linear force to an attachment region of the vessel, fracturing the vessel (20) to release the pressurized fluid thereby activating the pneumatic stored energy system.
