Abstract
A system for producing gaseous hydrogen, includes an enclosure formed by a side wall, a front end wall, and a rear end wall, the enclosure containing unit charge(s) of a material for generating gaseous hydrogen when heated, wherein each unit charge includes a cylindrical body including a closed rear end wall and a front end wall having an opening, at least one block of material for generating gaseous hydrogen, each block presenting an annular shape defining a central channel leading to the opening in the front end wall of the body and an initiator present in the vicinity of the rear end wall of the body; the opening facing the front end wall of the enclosure so that the hot gas coming from the block of material for generating gaseous hydrogen when heated is directed directly against the inside surface of the front end wall of the enclosure.
