Abstract:
1. A hydrogen gas generator comprising: a reaction chamber that receives a solid reactant, the chamber including a biasing mechanism, wherein the solid reactant reacts to produce reactant products; a reaction product separator, wherein the biasing mechanism biases the reactant products against the separator; a liquid reactant dispenser that is fluidly coupled to the reaction chamber and stores a liquid reactant that reacts with the solid reactant to produce hydrogen gas and a waste product that are substantially permeable through the separator; a diaphragm, in fluid communication with the liquid reactant dispenser and the reaction chamber, that pumps the liquid reactant from the liquid reactant dispenser into the reaction chamber; a product collector coupled to the reaction chamber for collecting the hydrogen gas and waste product that have passed through the separator; and, a flexible barrier that fluidly separates the liquid reactant dispenser from the product collector.
