Abstract

Abstract A GENERATOR HOUSING IS FORMED WITH ONE OR MORE BELLOWS SECTIONS SO THAT A LIQUID REACTANT IS CONFINED WITHIN THE HOUSING BY THE BELLOWS REGARDLESS OF THE ANGULAR ORIENTATION OF THE GENERATOR. A SOLID BODY PROVIDING A REACTION SURFACE IS CENTRALLY MOUNTED WITHIN THE ENCLOSURE. UPON CONTACT OF THE LIQUID REACTANT WITH THE SOLID BODY A GAS IS GENERATED, BUT CONTACT IS DESTROYED BY EXPANSION OF THE BELLOWS. A PLURALITY OF GAS OUTLETS ARE PROVIDED WITHIN THE HOUSING SO THAT IF ONE IS SUBMERGED BY LIQUID REACTANT, THE REMAINING OUTLET WILL REMAIN EXPOSED FOR THE EDUCTION OF GAS.
