Claim 0:
1. An electrolyzer, comprising:
a housing having an inlet port, a first outlet port, and a second outlet port;
a plurality of electrochemical cells disposed in the housing, each of the plurality of electrochemical cells including:
a non-planar membrane and a catalyst, the non-planar membrane being formed from a non-ceramic material, the non-planar membrane configured to inhibit transport of gases,
a first current collector disposed on a first side of the non-planar membrane,
a second current collector disposed on a second side of the non-planar membrane, the second side opposite the first side, and
the non-planar membrane of each of the plurality of electrochemical cells being independently removable from the electrolyzer by axially sliding the respective non-planar membrane relative to corresponding first and second current collectors until the respective non-planar membrane is removed from between the corresponding first and second current collectors;

a fuel precursor disposed in the housing and in contact with the non-planar membrane;
an energy source electrically coupled to the electrochemical cell, the energy source configured to apply a bias to the electrochemical cell.
