Abstract
A hydrogen generation device capable of generating hydrogen using an inexpensive material is provided. The hydrogen generation device includes: a water flow path unit through which a solution flows in from outside and exits; a hydrogen generation unit made of a metal, the hydrogen generation unit generating hydrogen by a reaction with the flowing-in solution; and a hydrogen collection unit for collecting the generated hydrogen, wherein the hydrogen generation unit is disposed so that friction with the flowing-in solution peels off a surface film of the metal to expose an active surface of the metal, the metal being the hydrogen generation unit itself.
Claims6
A hydrogen generation device, comprising:
- a water flow path unit through which a solution flows in from outside and exits;
