Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods for hydrogen generation based on the hydrolysis of a solid fuel are disclosed. The hydrogen generator comprises a fuel chamber for storing a solid chemical hydride, a chamber for storing a liquid reagent, and a liquid distributor disposed within the fuel chamber. The contact between the solid chemical hydride and the liquid reagent produces a substantially fluid nongaseous product and hydrogen gas. The liquid distributor is configured to move through at least a portion of the substantially fluid nongaseous product within the fuel chamber.
