HYDROGEN FORMING APPARATUS, LASER REDUCTION APPARATUS, ENERGY TRANSFORMATION APPARATUS METHOD FOR FORMING HYDROGEN AND ELECTRICITY GENERATION SYSTEM

摘要

[PROBLEMS] To provide a hydrogen forming apparatus, a laser reduction apparatus, an energy transformation apparatus, a method for forming hydrogen and an electricity generation system. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A hydrogen forming apparatus (10) comprises a reaction vessel (12) holding a metal element, a water storage tank (16) for supplying water to the reaction vessel (12) and a hydrogen-withdrawing pipe (14) for recovering a hydrogen gas formed by the reaction of a metal element and water. The hydrogen forming apparatus may further comprise a hydrogen storage facility (26) for storing a recovered hydrogen gas. An oxide or a hydroxide formed by the reduction of water is subjected to the laser reduction to thereby regenerate a metal element. In the laser reduction, the sunlight-exited laser can be used. Further, an energy transformation apparatus wherein an electric current is formed by the use of electrically charged particles formed in the above laser reduction, and an electricity generation system using the above hydrogen generation system can be provided.
