ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATOR

摘要

An improved system (10) for generating electrical power using a fuel cell (16). More particularly, a System for generating hydrogen gas (14) by reacting water vapor (12) with a substantially non-fluid substance and transporting the generated hydrogen gas to the fuel cell (16) which generates electrical power. Reacting water vapor with the non fluid hydrogen generating substance rather than liquid water prevents caking of the non-fluid substance and deposition of byproducts onto the non-fluid substance that interfere with continued generation of hydrogen gas. Also, a non-electrically actuated valve (26) for use in a hydrogen gas generating apparatus which regulates the generation of hydrogen as required by the fuel cell.
