Embodiments of hydrogen generation system of the present invention are all demand systems that are operated to replenish hydrogen gas to a low pressure storage tank or vessel as hydrogen is drawn therefrom, providing a system that is suitable for use as a portable system. The invention employs electrical and mechanical arrangements that provide for opening an outer coating that has been formed over a reactive material, such as sodium, so as to expose that reactive material to water, generating hydrogen from a chemical reaction therebetween. The electrical system employs a bank of cells, with each cell electrically connected through a controller to a power source and contains a measured volume of a light salt and water solution and a sodium pellet that is coated with aluminum, or other appropriate metal, and provides for passing a current to a select cell to break down the pellet aluminum coating and expose the pellet reactive material to the water to generate hydrogen. With, in the mechanical system embodiments, sodium pellets are coated with a soft plastic, or the like, and are maintained in water and include a static pressure source to operate, when the hydrogen gas pressure falls below the pressure of that static source, a piston to move a selected pellet into a blade, or the like, to open that pellet to the water to chemical react and generate hydrogen gas to restore the system pressure to a pressure that is greater than that of the static source.
