Ejection Charge	30 Jun 2004 20:02 GMT	86
Has anyone ever heard of or considered the possibility of using Sodium Azide as an ejection charge? This is the explosive used in airbags. According to my reading it only requires an electric current to react extremely violently and give off a whole bunch of nitrogen.
