1. A gas generator comprising: a pressure vessel;an outer propellant in the pressure vessel, the outer propellant having a tubular shape;an inner propellant inside the outer propellant, the inner propellant having a columnar shape;a barrier membrane configured to isolate the outer propellant and the inner propellant from each other;a first igniter configured to ignite the inner propellant; anda second igniter configured to ignite the outer propellant,wherein the inner propellant has a forward end surface facing a combustion space in the pressure vessel and a side surface,wherein the side surface of the inner propellant is isolated from the combustion space,wherein the barrier membrane comprises a first barrier membrane covering a forward end surface of the outer propellant, and a second barrier membrane connected to the first barrier membrane via a vulnerable portion and covering an inner surface of the outer propellant,wherein the vulnerable portion faces the combustion space, faces the forward end surface of the outer propellant, and is positioned adjacent to a forward end of the outer propellant,wherein the first igniter is positioned at a forward end of the pressure vessel,wherein the second igniter is positioned at a rearward end of the pressure vessel and adjacent to a rearward end of the outer propellant for leading ignition gas to the inner surface of the outer propellant,wherein the second barrier membrane covers the forward end surface of the outer propellant in addition to the inner surface of the outer propellant, andwherein an end portion of the first barrier membrane and an end portion of the second barrier membrane are bonded to each other over an entire periphery. 2. The gas generator according to claim 1, wherein a whole of the side surface of the inner propellant is covered with the barrier membrane. 3. The gas generator according to claim 1, wherein the inner propellant has a protruding portion which protrudes further rearwardly than the outer propellant. 4. An operation method of the gas generator according to claim 3, the operation method comprising: igniting the forward end surface of the inner propellant;progressing end-surface burning of the inner propellant while preventing side-surface burning of the inner propellant;igniting the outer propellant during combustion of the protruding portion of the inner propellant;breaking the barrier membrane; andprogressing inner-surface burning of the outer propellant and end-surface burning of the outer propellant at a same time. 5. The gas generator according to claim 1, wherein a burning rate of the outer propellant is higher than a burning rate of the inner propellant. 6. The gas generator according to claim 1, wherein the second igniter includes an energy transfer portion configured to transfer energy to the inner surface of the outer propellant. 7. An operation method of the gas generator according to claim 1, the operation method comprising: igniting the forward end surface of the inner propellant;progressing end-surface burning of the inner propellant while preventing side-surface burning of the inner propellant;igniting the outer propellant;breaking the barrier membrane; andprogressing inner-surface burning of the outer propellant and end-surface burning of the outer propellant at a same time. 8. The gas generator according to claim 1, wherein the second igniter includes: a pyrogen igniter component,a first ring member, anda second ring member. 9. The gas generator according to claim 8, wherein: a first channel is defined in the first ring member,second channels are defined in the second ring member, andan annular space is defined between the first ring member and the second ring member. 10. The gas generator according to claim 9, wherein: the first channel, the annular space and the second channels constitute an energy transfer portion. 11. The gas generator according to claim 10, wherein: the energy transfer portion is configured to transfer energy generated by the igniter component to an ignition point. 12. The gas generator according to claim 11, wherein: the ignition point is a point on the inner surface of the outer propellant. 13. The gas generator according to claim 1, wherein: the first igniter is located external to the forward end of the pressure vessel. 14. The gas generator according to claim 1, wherein: the second igniter is located external to the rearward end of the pressure vessel. 15. The gas generator according to claim 1, wherein: the second igniter is a pyrogen igniter.
