Abstract

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed to generate hydrogen. A liquid permeable material (110) with one or more cavities contains a solid anhydrous chemical hydride and an anhydrous activating agent. A housing (202a,b) that is heat and pressure resistant houses the liquid permeable material (110), and a liquid. One or more liquid sources inject the liquid into the housing (202a,b) such that the liquid contacts at least a portion of the liquid permeable material (110). A gas outlet port (408) releases hydrogen gas produced by a reaction comprising the solid anhydrous chemical hydride, the anhydrous activating agent, and the liquid. A hydrogen output regulator controls the amount of hydrogen gas that the gas outlet port (408) releases.
