Summary
An apparatus is described, containing as a diffusor element twelve thin-walled nickel tubes in parallel, which, upon being heated to 950°C and being exposed to an excess pressure of about one atmosphere, yields a steady flow of about a quarter of a litre per minute of the purest hydrogen at atmospheric pressure. The apparatus is strong and simple and has a lifetime of several hundreds of hours.
