PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrolytic light-emitting device which can be applied to the production of hydrogen usable as an energy source; a hydrogen-gas-generating apparatus using the electrolytic light-emitting device; a method for generating hydrogen using the device; a power generator using hydrogen obtained by the apparatus; and a method for generating a power using the apparatus. SOLUTION: The electrolytic light-emitting device comprises: a reaction vessel 1 of an electrolytic tank; an electrolytic solution 4 retained in the reaction vessel 1; a platinum anode 5 and the tip of a cathode terminal 2, which are placed so as to contact with the electrolytic solution 4 and contain a refractory metal; and a power source 18 and a control unit 17, which are electrolytic light-emitting reaction means. The electrolytic solution 4 contains 0.05 mol/liter or higher of an alkali metal carbonate as an electrolyte. The platinum anode 5 has a 10 times or larger surface area than the tip of the cathode terminal 2 has. The power source 18 and the control unit 17 cause an electrolytic luminescence reaction between the tip of the cathode terminal 2 and the platinum anode 5, through applying a voltage of 100 V or higher between them.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate energy with superior controllability, and to efficiently generate a neutron in the electrolytic reaction of light or heavy water, by composing a reactant of metal with a high melt point and metal being active to hydrogen that is formed on the surface of the metal with the high melt point. SOLUTION: In a cathode electrode 11 of a device that performs nuclear reaction according to electrolytic reaction in light or heavy water solution for generating energy and a neutron, for example, a reactant where the coating of platinum that is metal being active to hydrogen is carried out on a tungsten plate that is used as metal with a high melt point is used. Then, for example, when the electrolytic reaction is made by using the platinum for anode electrodes 12 and 13 and by using sodium carbonate heavy water solution as electrolyte 6 under specific conditions, thermal energy and the neutron are efficiently generated. By applying a rectangular wave voltage for intermittently inputting electric power, reaction temperature, current density, and the voltage are controlled, and the generation of energy can be adjusted. Also, for example, a radioactive material such as sodium nitrate is included into the electrolyte 6 or the like, thus reducing the radioactivity. COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO
