Hydrogen Generator
Originally published in 1978
Body
Developed under a NASA contract, the portable hydrogen generator is an aid to safer operation of systems that use hydrogen. Generator eliminates need for high- pressure hydrogen storage bottles which can be a safety hazard in laboratories, hospitals and industrial plants. Unit supplies high purity hydrogen by means of electrochemical process which separates hydrogen and oxygen in distilled water. Oxygen is vented away and hydrogen gas is stored within the unit for use as needed. GE's Aircraft Equipment Division is producing about 1,000 generators annually.
