A self-starting, self-sustaining hydrogen generator comprises a reactor packed with a mass of mixed catalyst, containing supported copper and palladium. A feedstock, of e.g. methanol and an oxygen source such as air, is injected at high velocity into the mass of catalyst through a multipoint entry such as a tube of porous ceramic. The mass of catalyst is preferably configured concentrically around the tube injector, so that the fluid-flow follows a radial path through the reactor. The product gas is high in hydrogen and can be used as a feed for a fuel cell.

Générateur autonome d'hydrogène, à démarrage automatique, comprenant un réacteur rempli d'une masse de catalyseur mixte contenant du cuivre et du palladium sur support. On injecte à grand vitesse une charge d'alimentation, par exemple du méthanol, ainsi qu'une source d'oxygène telle que de l'air, dans la masse du catalyseur à travers un dispositif d'entrée comportant une multiplicité de points d'entrée tel qu'un tube de céramique poreuse. De préférence, la masse du catalyseur est disposée de façon concentrique autour du tube d'injection de façon à ce que la circulation du fluide suive un trajet radial à travers le réacteur. Le gaz produit a une teneur élevée en hydrogène, et on peut l'utiliser pour alimenter une pile à combustible.
