Abstract: This invention is related to an enhanced heat conductive device for supply device of hydrogen source of a fuel cell. The supply device comprises: at least one pressurized bottled filled with metal hydride and having an outer diameter. The enhanced heat conductive device comprises: a metal shell configured to an elongated, cylindrical column having an inner diameter, and at least one expandable rib, longitudinally extended along a length direction of and integrally formed with the metal shell. The outer diameter of the pressurized bottle is slightly greater than the inner diameter of the metal shell, such that when the pressurized bottle is inserted through the metal shell, the pressurized bottle will force expansion of the rib resulting in close contact between the metal shell and the pressurized bottle. This invention further discloses supply device of hydrogen source having such an enhanced heat conductive device.

Abstract: A hydrogen storage and generation system are disclosed. The fuel source of the present invention comprises a chemical hydride core, and an elongate, flexible moisture barrier encasing the core. The core may be formed by a plurality discrete bodies of NaH or NaBH4, and the barrier may be a thermoplastic. A hydrogen generator of the present invention comprises a reaction chamber, a spool, and a fuel source wrapped around the spool, the fuel source comprising a chemical hydride core encased in an elongate moisture barrier. The generator also has means for removing the barrier from the core to permit the core to react with water or moisture in the reaction chamber. The generator may also have a second reaction chamber so that heat may be transferred from the first reaction chamber to the second reaction chamber for driving a reaction of Al and H2O, thereby generating additional hydrogen.
