A hydrogen generating system (10) which produces hydrogen instantaneously from water ready use upon demand. The system includes a reactor (12) that has reaction zones including porous material (20) for generating hydrogen from steam. The zones (18a-h) in the reactor (12) can be in the form of tube (18a-h) about a heat generating chamber, and the zones (18a-h) are adapted to be selectively interconnected to each other, to atmosphere, and to the source of steam, by passages (22a-d to 28a-h) to maximize the generation of hydrogen by providing a reactor (12) of optimum flexibility. The present invention also is directed to systems which include the hydrogen generating system and which utilize the generated hydrogen as a fuel or as a chemical. |
