EXPLORATORY DEVELOPMENT MODEL MINIATURE HYDROGEN GENERATOR.

Abstract

Two exploratory development model miniature hydrogen generators were designed, fabricated, tested, and delivered to the United States Army Electronics Command. The two units are fully operative generator systems designed to produce sufficient hydrogen by thermal cracking JP-4 jet fuel to supply 200-watt hydrogen/air fuel cell systems for intermittent twelve-hour operating periods. Qualification tests of the completed systems demonstrated the technical feasibility of man-portable generators based on the thermal cracking principle, and indicated that fully qualified, reliable field units can be developed without any major technological advances.
