In a reaction of water or other reactable liquids with solid borohydride fuels, the liquid reactant and/or additives are converted to a gel form (14). The solid metal hydride and catalyst are formed into a single solid member (26). The single metal hydride/catalyst member is inserted into the gel (14) to initiate the reaction to produce hydrogen and is withdrawn from the gel to stop or slow the reaction. A self-regulating gas generator (10, 40) using such a fuel-production formulation automatically controls the reaction rate thereof to control the internal pressure of the gas generator. |
