<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen generating apparatus capable of reducing the total volume of a first storage part for storing a hydrogen generating agent and a second storage part for storing a reaction solution, and capable of being downsized as a whole. <P>SOLUTION: The hydrogen generating apparatus, in which hydrogen is generated by a reaction of an aluminum powder and water, is provided with: the first storage part A for storing the aluminum powder; the second storage part B for storing water, which is arranged adjacently to the first storage part A through a partition part 12; a communication hole 12a for supplying water in the second storage part B to the first storage part A; and a gas supply pipe 11 for supplying hydrogen generated in the first storage part A to the outside of the first storage part A. The position of the partition part 12 can be altered in accordance with the progress of the reaction in the first storage part A. It is preferable that the total volume of the first storage part A and the second storage part B is same regardless of the alternation of the position of the partition part 12. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
