Title:
WATER VAPOR TRANSPORT POWER GENERATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003020635
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An improved system for generating electrical power (10) using a fuel cell (16) . More particularly, a system for generating hydrogen gas (14) by reacting water vapor (12) with a substantially non-fluid substance and transporting the generated hydrogen gas to the fuel cell (16) which generates electrical power. Reacting water vapor with the non-fluid hydrogen generating substance rather than liquid water prevents caking of the non-fluid substance and deposition of byproducts onto the non-fluid substance that interfere with continued generation of hydrogen gas.
