Abstract: The present invention discloses a saturated water explosive device, including a water intake pipe, a flow splitter for splitting a high-pressure liquid, a flow baffle for baffling the high-pressure liquid, a heat receiver having a cavity defined inside, a pillar connected with the heat receiver by a micro-channel wherein the high-pressure liquid is heated to be high-temperature saturated water, and a heat source for heating the cavity. High-pressure water is heated to produce high-temperature high-pressure saturated water, and then by using the saturated water explosive device of the present invention, the produced high-temperature high-pressure saturated water instantaneously explodes as being heated, and a high-temperature high-pressure steam flow is produced due to rapid vaporization, and expansion and is used as a power source.

Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a stack for generating electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, a fuel supply unit for supplying fuel to the stack, an air supply unit for supplying air to the stack, and a vaporizing unit connected with the stack and for vaporizing moisture discharged from the stack.

Abstract: An aerosol generator includes a fluid supply which supplies fluid to a fluid passage and a heater which heats the fluid into a gaseous state, the fluid passage being located between opposed layers of a laminate. The fluid passage can be a capillary sized passage formed by locating a mandrel between opposed layers of the laminate, bonding the layers together and removing the mandrel such that the space previously occupied by the mandrel forms the fluid passage. The opposed layers of the laminate can be copper sheets and ceramic layers can be provided on the outside of the copper layers. The aerosol generator can be used to generate aerosols containing medicated materials.
