Abstract
A hydrogen generator includes a container with multiple concentric hollow cylinders of chemical hydride fuel disposed within the container. A water vapor source is disposed within the container and operable to deliver water vapor to the cylinders of chemical hydride fuel. Generated hydrogen is provided via a hydrogen output port formed in the container.

11. A pressurized hydrogen generator comprising:
-
a pressure container; a multiple concentric hollow cylinders of chemical hydride fuel disposed within the container; a water reservoir within a smallest hollow cylinder of chemical hydride fuel; a wicking structure coupled to the water reservoir and extending along sides of the multiple concentric hollow cylinders of chemical hydride fuel to provide water vapor to the fuel; and water impermeable and hydrogen and water vapor permeable membranes separating the wicking structure from each of the multiple concentric hollow cylinders of chemical hydride fuel; and a hydrogen output port. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
