Abstract: A storage assembly 10 having at least one sub-assembly 12 which includes a plurality of material storage cells 49 which are operatively disposed along a certain axis 51 and which have generally planar material containment surfaces 16. The cells 49 are cooperatively formed by a member 14, a plurality of conductive fins 26 which reside upon member 14, and by a compliant member 42. A desired number of sub-assemblies 12 may be selectively and stackably coupled to form the storage assembly 10.

Abstract: An auto-electrolyte hydrogen generating reactor having a plurality of cells. The cells are stacked in series in an electronically non-conductive housing. Each cell is separate from its neighbour by electronically conductive bipolar walls. Each cell comprises an anode with a metal whose standard oxidation potential is above that of hydrogen in the same electrolyte. There is a solid electrolyte and a cathode. The cathode is an inert electronic conductor with a surface in contact with a solid electrolyte. The surface is electrochemically catalytic for the formation of hydrogen.
