Claim Text:
1. A method for conditioning hydrogen generated using a hydrogen generator, said hydrogen generator comprising a solid fuel mixture, a liquid reactant, a first liquid delivery mechanism (LDM), a reaction zone wherein the solid fuel mixture reacts with the liquid reactant that is delivered by the LDM, and a product separation media fluidly coupled to the reaction zone by a fluid junction that degasses a product stream; wherein the product separation media comprises of porous foam and the pore size of the product separation media decreases with increasing distance from the fluid junction the method comprising the steps of: determining a liquid reactant flow rate; determining a product generation rate; adjusting the liquid reactant flow rate electrically based on a ratio of the liquid reactant flow rate to the product generation rate; and passing the product stream through the product separation media.
