ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing rapid cross-ignition of preferably elongate powder or pyrotechnic charges, such as the propellant charges in impulse motors for correcting the trajectory of shells, rockets and missiles. The cross-ignition is produced by initiation of an elongate, extremely fast-burning or detonating primer charge with an extremely low explosive force which has been arranged in contact with at least part of the periphery of the propellant charge. The primer charge forms a tube whose cross-ignition effect is advantageously complemented by an inner, slower burning powder core which is combusted with deflagration.
