NOVELTY - The generator (10) has a fuel cell (14) that generates an electric potential between the cathode terminal (16) and the anode terminal (18), when hydrogen is exposed to the anode side of the fuel cell and oxygen is exposed to the cathode side of the fuel cell. A solid fuel source provides hydrogen to the anode side of the fuel cell, when the solid fuel is reacted with water. An amount of the fuel cell water generated at the cathode side of the fuel cell is directed to the solid fuel source to react with the solid fuel to produce more hydrogen for use at the anode side of the fuel cell.    USE - Electrical power generator for powering miniature devices such as wireless sensors, cellular phones or hand held electronic devices.    ADVANTAGE - Since the hydrogen-oxygen reaction produces exactly the required water corresponding to the electrical power generated, the stoichiometric amounts of recycled water and solid fuel are used.

NOVELTY - Compound biohydrogen reactor is disclosed. The organic waste containing press mud from sugar industry and municipal sewage, is added to upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor as codigester which is seeded with bacteria of genus Clostridium and Rhodobacter capable of yielding biogas comprising 65-70% of hydrogen and 30-35% of carbon dioxide. The bacteria consume portion of organic material dissolved in water, excluding specified amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The effluent falls to a pond placed at the base of the reactor where algae are grown. Algae absorb carbon dioxide during combustion process or during separation of carbon dioxide from the biogas, and eliminate nutrients from water and fix carbon in their biomass. Algae are filtered and pumped back to the digester to produce more hydrogen excluding the filtered water having low content of nutrients, which makes it suitable for agricultural uses. The dynamics and performance of the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor are researched since 90s and are well known for conventional anaerobic digestion yielding biogas essentially comprising methane and carbon dioxide. The performance of fiat or tubular photobioreactor for growing algae with high cultivation densities is well known. Hence, the proposed invention provides the possibility of potential utilization of press mud from sugar mills for production of biohydrogen energy with simultaneous algal mass cultivation for carbon credit and carbon dioxide balance.
