Claim 0:
1. A heat generating device comprising:
a container into which a hydrogen-based gas contributing to heat generation is configured to be introduced;
a heat generating element provided inside the container;
a heater configured to heat the heat generating element; and
a pump, wherein
the heat generating element includes:
a base made of a hydrogen storage metal, a hydrogen storage alloy, or a proton conductor; and
a multilayer film provided on a surface of the base, the multilayer film having a stacking configuration of:
a first layer that is made of a hydrogen storage metal or a hydrogen storage alloy and has a layer shape with a thickness of less than 1000 nm; and
a second layer that is made of a hydrogen storage metal, a hydrogen storage alloy, or ceramics different from that of the first layer and has a layer shape with a thickness of less than 1000 nm, wherein

the base has a porous structure or a mesh structure, and includes a hollow surrounded by an inner peripheral surface of the base, and
the pump is configured to guide the hydrogen-based gas in the container into the hollow by allowing the hydrogen-based gas to permeate sequentially through the multilayer film and the base.
