Abstract

A hydrogen generation device includes a liquid fuel chamber (3), a catalytic hydrogen generation chamber (5), a hydrogen collection chamber (8) and separation elements (9, 7) between these chambers (3, 5, 8). Once a certain hydrogen pressure in the device is reached liquid fuel is substantially prevented from being catalytically converted into hydrogen, whereby the production of hydrogen is stopped until hydrogen is allowed to exit the device to lower the pressure therein. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
