Abstract:
1. A method of forming a power generator, the method comprising: forming a container having a desired shape; placing a hydrogen producing fuel within the container; adding a sliding valve arrangement within the container and positioned around the hydrogen producing fuel; coupling a pressure responsive diaphragm to the sliding valve arrangement; wrapping a fuel cell stack around an anode support and sliding valve arrangement within the container, the fuel cell stack having a cathode electrode layer for exposure to oxygen and an anode electrode layer for exposure to hydrogen; electrically coupling the container to the cathode electrode layer of the fuel cell stack such that a desired portion of the container forms an exposed cathode; and forming an exposed anode electrically coupled to the anode electrode layer of the fuel cell stack and supported by the container such that at least a portion of it is exposed on the outside of the container and spaced apart from the exposed cathode.
