<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen generator which can transport a liquid reactant such as water at a constant rate even in a small amount when the liquid reactant is sent from a liquid storage part to a hydrogen generation part. <P>SOLUTION: The hydrogen generator is equipped with: a liquid reactant storage part D for storing the liquid reactant; a passage for discharging the liquid reactant from the storage part D; a hydrogen generation part E for generating hydrogen gas by reacting the discharged liquid reactant with a hydrogen release compound; a gas storage part A for storing compressed air; and a gas supply passage for supplying the compressed air in the gas storage part A to the liquid reactant storage part D. The generator has the constitution that the liquid reactant in the liquid reactant storage part D is allowed to react with the compressed air so that the constant amount of the liquid reactant can be discharged through the supply passage for the liquid reactant. An adjustment mechanism C is provided to adjust the size of the flow path in the gas supply passage. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
