TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENERGY - Preferred Component: The piping system transfer mechanism includes a coupling and transfer mechanism adapted to connect and disconnect the hydrogen source module and the hydrogen fuel cell power module. The coupling and transfer mechanism is adapted to place the hydrogen source module and the hydrogen fuel cell power module in gaseous hydrogen flow communication when the hydrogen source module and the hydrogen fuel cell power supply module are connected and prevent gas flow from the hydrogen source module and to or from the hydrogen fuel cell power module when the hydrogen source module and the hydrogen fuel cell power supply module are disconnected. The hydrogen source module comprises a hydrogen storage system adapted to store and deliver the gaseous hydrogen. The hydrogen storage system is a compressed gas storage system, an adsorbed gas storage system, or a metal hydride system. It comprises hydrogen generation system adapted to generate and deliver the gaseous hydrogen. The hydrogen generation system comprises a fluid reactant storage vessel (201) containing a fluid reactant, a chemical hydride storage and reaction vessel (203) containing a chemical hydride, and flow transfer mechanism adapted to transfer the fluid reactant from the fluid reactant storage vessel to the chemical hydride storage and reaction vessel. The battery charging system further comprises promoters. It comprises a gas conditioning system (211) adapted to remove impurities from the gaseous hydrogen provided by the hydrogen source module. It further comprises a supervisory control system adapted to control the operation of the hydrogen source module and/or the hydrogen fuel cell power module. The gas conditioning system is a vessel containing materials from molecular sieve adsorbents, activated carbon adsorbents, activated alumina adsorbents, silica, calcium chloride or calcium sulfate. The hydrogen fuel cell power module further comprises voltage converter and/or direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) power inverter. The hydrogen fuel cell is proton exchange membrane fuel cells, phosphoric acid fuel cells, alkaline fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells or molten carbonate fuel cells. The power delivery outlet unit comprises electrical connectors from AC power outlet socket, DC power outlet connector or secondary battery connector .    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Component: The chemical hydride comprises a solid phase chemical hydride. It can be ammonia borane, sodium borohydride, lithium borohydride, sodium aluminum hydride, lithium aluminum hydride, lithium hydride, sodium hydride, calcium hydride, magnesium hydride, aluminum metal, magnesium metal, and/or magnesium/iron alloys. The fluid reactant is water, aqueous solution, liquid or gaseous ammonia or liquid or gaseous alcohol.
