Abstract
Experts are increasingly considering hydrogen-air fuel cells (FS) as a source of autonomous
power supply for military and special equipment. When using FS, the issue arises of
providing a reliable source of hydrogen. In this work, research has been conducted on
ways to create efficient hydrogen generators (HG) based on hydride compounds to ensure
the operation of hydrogen-air FS. Experimental samples of HG with a flow reactor and
a batch reactor have been developed and manufactured, which are not inferior in their
characteristics to similar developments described in the literature. The optimal design and
manufacturing technology of HG has been developed. Experimental samples of two types
of thermal power plants have been developed and manufactured, capable of FS with a
power of 20 Watts for 3 hours while consuming 18 g of sodium borohydride.
