摘要 |
The system of the invention is capable of safely generating a continuous controlled hydrogen flow. The passive self-sufficient hydrogen system of the invention is very useful, for example, for emergency backup power, propulsion uses, battery charging or the powering of portable devices. The present invention also relates to a chemical process for generating hydrogen, using alkali metals, alkaline-earth metals, hydrides of alkali metals or hydrides of alkaline-earth metals, in order to obtain primary by-products from water. These primary by-products then react with a metal reactant to obtain additional hydrogen. |
