Abstract
A method and apparatus for generating hydrogen gas by reacting a nanogalvanic alloy with water vapor. The apparatus comprises a water vapor source for supplying water vapor to a reaction chamber containing a nanogalvanic alloy. The nanogalvanic alloy reacts with the water vapor to produce hydrogen.
Claims7
A method of generating hydrogen gas comprising:
- supplying water vapor;
- reacting water vapor with a nanogalvanic alloy to generate hydrogen gas further comprising removing water vapor from the hydrogen gas,
- wherein removing water vapor is performed by a desiccant comprising a nanogalvanic alloy.
