An apparatus for the generation of electricity that may be in a "standby" mode for long periods of time, i.e. many years. Thus, in one embodiment of the invention, a fuel cell (48) may include at least one of the following features or components: a membrane, and /or storage tanks or cells for hydrogen (42) and oxygen (44), and/or an "inertial" switch (46), which may optionally be assembled in close proximity to a membrane. The inertial switch (46), when activated, may rupture the membrane and allow the hydrogen and oxygen to mix in a fuel cell. |
