NOVELTY - A hydrogen gas generation system (10) comprises housing (12), divider and fuel solution (36). The divider separates the housing into fuel holding and hydrogen chambers. The divider has two surfaces (20, 22). The first surface faces the fuel holding chamber (28). The second surface faces the hydrogen chamber. The fuel holding chamber permits fuel solution movement without capillary action to the first surface. The divider has pore(s).    USE - Generating hydrogen gas useful in fuel cells used as replacement for batteries. It can be used in applications where continuous hydrogen production is desired.    ADVANTAGE - The system is a compact, self-regulating orientation-independent hydrogen generation system. It matches the advancement in miniaturization achieved with fuel cells. It does not form non-gaseous product, e.g. sodium borate from sodium borohydride. It does not require capillary action to move the fuel molecules to the surface. It also prevents build-up of reaction product in the device.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A hydrogen gas generation system comprises housing, divider and fuel solution. The divider separates the housing into a fuel holding and hydrogen (36) chambers. The divider has two surfaces. The first surface faces the fuel holding chamber. The second surface faces the hydrogen chamber. The fuel solution is in the fuel holding chamber. The fuel holding chamber permits fuel solution movement without capillary action to the first surface. The divider has pore(s). The pore(s) communicate with the two surfaces. The pore also has catalyst. The catalyst promotes the generation of hydrogen upon contact with the fuel solution. The pore is dimensioned so that the fuel chamber moves into the pore and contacts the catalyst. The generated hydrogen produces passes into the hydrogen chamber.    INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (1) generating hydrogen gas comprising providing housing, and allowing the fuel solution to enter into the pore and contact the catalyst to generate hydrogen; and    (2) producing catalyst retaining structure comprising providing divider with two surfaces having pore(s), flowing solution containing transition metal ion(s) in contact with the first exterior surface, and allowing the solution containing transition metal ion(s) and reducing agent to enter into the pore and contact each other to deposit catalyst particles on the wall of the pore.
