<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen producing apparatus capable of producing hydrogen continuously with safety, a fuel cell system using the hydrogen producing apparatus as a hydrogen source, and an electronic apparatus provided with the fuel cell system as a power source. <P>SOLUTION: The hydrogen producing apparatus includes a reactor containing a hydrogen generating material that reacts with water to generate hydrogen, a water containing vessel, and a water supply portion for supplying water from the water containing vessel to the reactor in such a state that the reactor and the water containing vessel are attached. The reactor and the water containing vessel are attachable to and detachable from the hydrogen producing apparatus. Further, the hydrogen producing apparatus includes a measuring device for measuring at least one of the hydrogen generation rate from the reactor and the temperature of the reactor, and a device for restricting removal of the reactor according to the measurement value of the measuring device or a warning device for warning an operator not to remove the reactor according to the measurement value of the measuring device. The fuel cell system including the hydrogen producing apparatus and the electronic apparatus including the fuel cell system are also provided. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
