<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for stabilizing an amount of hydrogen supplied from a fuel container with a simple constitution. <P>SOLUTION: In a fuel container 12, a fuel housing part 18 houses a hydrogen adsorption alloy for storing hydrogen supplied to a fuel cell. A heating part 20 heats the fuel housing part 18 using hydrogen discharged from the hydrogen adsorption alloy. A distribution passage is configured to distribute and supply hydrogen to the heating part 20 and the fuel cell from the fuel housing part 18. An adjusting mechanism 24 is provided on the distribution passage between the fuel housing part 18 and the heating part 20, and is in thermal contact with the fuel housing part 18, and adjusts an amount of hydrogen distributed to the heating part 20 and the fuel cell. The adjusting mechanism 24 varies the amount of hydrogen distributed to the heating part 20 by deforming at least one part of the adjusting mechanism according to a temperature of the fuel housing part 18, and is configured to restrain the temperature variation of the fuel housing part 18. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
