HYDROGEN GENERATION SYSTEM, AUTOMOBILE EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME AND CARTRIDGE FOR HYDROGEN GENERATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen generation system with a simple structure which constantly generates hydrogen with high efficiency without any special improvement of infrastructure or special emission control. SOLUTION: The hydrogen generation system 1 is composed of a water-storage vessel 2, a cartridge 3 wherein a silicon powder 30 is sealed, a circulation means P1and C1-C2for passing water through the cartridge, a heat source 4 for heating water, water-collecting means 5 and 6 for collecting hydrogen generated in the cartridge and a silicon oxide-removing means F2for removing silicon oxide generated in the cartridge.
