This invention relates to a power generating apparatus comprising two systems. In one of the systems, hydrogen gas is generated by hydrolysis, and a hydrogen acceptor generates electric power.In the other system, electric power is generated based on an oxidation-reduction chemical reaction of an electrode and ions. The power generating apparatus comprises hydrogen release means with a hydrogen generating container within which a functional material has been mounted. Alternatively, a method may be adopted in which the functional material is mounted on negative and positive electrodes and a battery element comprising the negative and positive electrodes and an electrolyte is provided within the container. The power generating apparatus further comprises hydrogen generating means including a liquid container which generates hydrogen both by hydrolysis, in which the functional material is reacted with water or an aqueous solution (electrolyte), and by binding of hydrogen atoms fixed between crystals due to a quality change of the functional material by the hydrolysis, first electric power generating means in which the battery element in the hydrogen generating container generates electric power, second electric power generating means in which the hydrogen acceptor generates electric power by hydrogen gas produced in the hydrogen generating container, and control means for controlling the amount of the hydrogen gas generated by the hydrogen generating means according to the load current amount by applying electric power generated by the first electric power generating means to a load apparatus. |
