A rapid gas/fluid deploying apparatus for use in a variety of inflating and dispersing applications includes a superatmospheric pressure compressed gas/fluid storage container which is equipped with an explosively rupturable membrane surface element and an explosively rupturing micro miniature charge assembly. When the explosive charge is detonated a pressure equilibrating force compels the gas or fluid into/onto a receiving volume or target.

[ What is claimed is:] [9.] A gas dispersing apparatus comprising:a container enclosing an interior volume, said container defining a fluid passageway extending between said interior volume and an exterior environment, said passageway being closed by an explosively rupturable frangible member;a compressed fluid disposed within said container and having said interior volume;an actuatable micro miniature explosive charge assembly having an explosive charge having a shape defined by a plurality of dimensions, each of said plurality of dimensions being less than one centimeter, said explosive charge assembly being secured to said explosively rupturable frangible member by an electrically conductive epoxy for establishment of immediate fluid flow communication from said interior volume to said exterior environment upon actuation of said explosive charge assembly by explosively rupturing said frangible member to substantially fully open said fluid passageway establishing immediate flow of said compressed fluid from said interior volume; andan actuator for detonating said micro miniature explosive charge assembly.
