Abstract
Hydrogen generation by dissociation of water is described. The major force for the dissociation comes from the oxidation potential of the reactive metal reacting with water whereas the minor role is played by electrical discharge which helps sustain the reaction. A premixed reactive metal/water system undergoes a fast hydrogen generation upon the ignition by an electrical pulse. In another method the reactive metal can be fed into the discharge. Some characteristics of the methods are discussed.
