Abstract

The subject of the present invention is a device (50) for propelling a liquid (L) comprising a reservoir (51) equipped with a mobile separation member (57) and a pyrotechnic gas generator (1), which is arranged inside said reservoir (51), equipped with nozzles (4a, 4b, 4a′, 4b′). Characteristically, said nozzles (4a, 4b, 4a′, 4b′) of said gas generator (1) are arranged radially on the wall(s) of said body (2) and said gas generator (1), arranged in such a way that its axis corresponds to the line of travel of said mobile separation member (57), is equipped with a deflector (8) to deflect said generated combustion gases (G) along said line of travel of said mobile separation member (57).
