Hydrogen generator
First Claim
1. A hydrogen gas generator comprising:
- (a) a reaction chamber for receiving a solid reactant, the chamber having a reaction product separator impermeable to the solid reactant and a biasing means for biasing reactant products against the separator;
(b) a liquid reactant dispenser for storing a liquid reactant and fluidly coupled to the reaction chamber, such that dispensed liquid reactant reacts with the solid reactant in the reaction chamber to produce hydrogen gas and a waste product that are substantially permeable through the separator; and
, (c) a product collector coupled to the reaction chamber for collecting hydrogen gas and waste product that have passed through the separator.

Abstract
A hydrogen gas generator generates hydrogen gas by mixing two reactants. The generator has a reaction chamber for receiving a solid reactant. The chamber has a reaction product separator impermeable to the solid reactant and a biasing means for biasing reactant products against the separator. The generator also has a liquid reactant dispenser for storing a liquid reactant and is fluidly coupled to the reaction chamber, such that dispensed liquid reactant reacts with the solid reactant in the reaction chamber to produce hydrogen gas and a waste product that are substantially permeable through the separator. The generator also has a product collector coupled to the reaction chamber for collecting hydrogen gas and waste product that have passed through the separator.

13. A method of generating hydrogen gas comprising:
-
(a) biasing a solid reactant towards a reaction product separator that is impermeable to the solid reactant;
(b) dispensing a liquid reactant to the solid reactant to produce a hydrogen gas and a waste product that are substantially permeable through the separator; and
(c) applying sufficient pressure to pass the hydrogen gas and waste product through the separator. - View Dependent Claims (14)
