1. A hydrogen generator, comprising:

  • a chemical hydride disposed within a nonporous water-selective membrane;

    an outlet port connected to the nonporous water-selective membrane and configured to allow hydrogen to exit the nonporous water-selective membrane; and

    wherein the nonporous water-selective membrane selectively diffuses water from a fluid to the chemical hydride, the fluid comprising a gas that includes water in a gas state, andwherein a rate of diffusion of the water through the water-selective membrane is determined by a water concentration gradient across the water-selective membrane.
