The system comprises a reaction chamber containing a hydrogen-producing fuel, a liquid distribution mechanism, and a control system. The liquid distribution mechanism includes a rotating arm with liquid injection ports that move vertically through the fuel chamber. This allows for precise and efficient liquid delivery to unreacted fuel, optimizing hydrogen production. A proprietary fuel blend utilizes chemicals that store significant amounts of hydrogen in a solid-state form. A feature of the device is the arm's controlled vertical movement, achieved through a screw mechanism that adjusts the arm's height as it rotates, creating a spiral liquid distribution pattern. The control system regulates liquid injection rates, arm rotation speed, and vertical movement to optimize hydrogen production based on demand. The system can also operate at low pressures and be scaled to different sizes in a safer, more efficient, on-demand manner.
