The present invention is a method of generating electrical energy from chemically
generated hydrogen and oxygen including the steps of establishing a first reaction
compartment, generating hydrogen gas from a reaction of aluminum metal and aqueous
alkali solution in the first reaction compartment, establishing a second reaction
compartment, generating oxygen gas from a reaction of oxygenated salt, water and
a catalyst in the second reaction compartment, fluidly coupling the first reaction
compartment to a fuel cell anode, fluidly coupling the second reaction compartment
to a fuel cell cathode, and feeding the hydrogen and oxygen gas to a fuel cell
to generate electricity.
