PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power generator capable of improving power generation efficiency by intermittently activating a fuel cell and capable of maintaining or recovering pressure for hydrogen generation over a long period of time.SOLUTION: A power generator comprises: a pressurizing vessel 1 for pressurizing and discharging a reaction liquid 1a by using pressure of its inner space; a reaction vessel 2 to which the reaction liquid 1a is supplied from the pressurizing vessel 1 and which accommodates, in an airtight state, a hydrogen generation agent 2a for generating hydrogen by reacting with the reaction liquid 1a; a fuel cell 3 for generating power using the hydrogen supplied from the reaction vessel 2; power storage means 31 which is capable of being charged by the fuel cell 3 and performs output to the outside; control means for performing control of charging the power storage means 31 by intermittently activating the fuel cell 3; and a pressure adjustment mechanism for maintaining or recovering pressure inside the pressurizing vessel 1 so that the value of the pressure inside the pressurizing vessel 1 is equal to or larger than a prescribed value, at least in intermittently activating the fuel cell 3. |
