Claim:
1. A method of operating a power generator, the method comprising: absorbing water into a water absorbing material from ambient; controlling, using a plurality of valves, exposure of the water absorbing material to the ambient; controlling, using the plurality of valves, exposure of the water absorbing material to a first chamber to provide water vapor to the first chamber, wherein a first chamber pressure in the first chamber is higher than an ambient pressure; producing hydrogen in the first chamber, the first chamber including a hydrogen producing fuel; controlling, using the plurality of valves, hydrogen provided from the first chamber to a second chamber; producing electricity from hydrogen and oxygen in the second chamber, wherein a second chamber pressure in the second chamber is lower than the first chamber pressure; and sealing off, using a spring and piston arrangement coupled to the plurality of valves, the water absorbing material from the ambient until a valve plate between the water absorbing material and hydrogen producing fuel is closed.
