ABSTRACT:
A method of and an apparatus for feeding hydrogen fuel derived from a metal hydride to an internal combustion engine includes two tanks, one for containing fresh hydride and the other for spent hydride and a low capacity reactor through which the fresh hydride is pumped from the one tank to the other. Heat applied to the small quantity of hydride in the reactor generates hydrogen which is extracted and retained in a storage chamber for feeding to an engine, with the spent hydride being pumped away and fresh hydride being pumped into the reactor to maintain a continuous source of supply of hydrogen therein during operation of the system. Quick starts and stops are made possible and great flexibility of operation and control are obtained by circulation of the hydride through the small reactor for heating.
