Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for supplying hydrogen, such as hydrogen water and high-pressure hydrogen tanks, are bulky, inconvenient, and pose safety risks, limiting the practical application of hydrogen therapy due to portability and safety concerns.
Innovation Solution
A gas permeable layer encapsulating a hydrogen production formula with an airtight outer side and air-permeable inner side, containing metal peroxides, hydroxides, or hydrides, which absorbs moisture to generate hydrogen, allowing for safe and convenient hydrogen delivery through small holes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If hydrogen water or high-pressure hydrogen tank is used, then hydrogen supply is achieved, but portability and safety are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the physical state of hydrogen from high-pressure gas to chemically bound hydrogen in solid materials (metal hydrides, peroxides, hydroxides). This parameter change allows hydrogen to be stored at atmospheric pressure in lightweight containers, dramatically improving portability while maintaining safety by eliminating high-pressure storage requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention utilizes phase transitions of hydrogen - transforming it from gaseous state (stored in tanks) to solid-state chemical compounds (metal hydrides, peroxides, hydroxides). This phase transition enables safe, portable storage while allowing controlled release of hydrogen gas when needed through simple moisture exposure.
2Reliability
If hydrogen production machine is used, then high-purity hydrogen is produced, but device complexity and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the essential hydrogen supply function from complex hydrogen production machines and high-pressure tanks, isolating only the core components needed: hydrogen-generating materials (metal hydrides, peroxides, hydroxides) enclosed in a simple container with moisture access. This extraction eliminates unnecessary complexity while maintaining hydrogen purity through controlled chemical reactions.
Solution Approach 2:
The hydrogen supply system becomes self-service through the use of materials that automatically generate hydrogen upon exposure to moisture without requiring external power, control systems, or complex machinery. The chemical materials self-regulate hydrogen production based on environmental humidity, eliminating the need for pumps, valves, and power consumption.
3Reliability
If more materials are added to improve health care efficacies, then therapeutic effects are enhanced, but risk of material dissipation and harmful by-products increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies local quality by selecting specific hydrogen-generating materials (metal hydrides, peroxides, hydroxides) that have the precise property of producing only hydrogen and water when reacting with moisture. This localized material selection ensures therapeutic hydrogen delivery while inherently preventing harmful by-products, as the chemical reaction pathway is designed to produce only beneficial substances.

AI summary
A gas permeable layer capable of supplying hydrogen includes a thin layer, encapsulating a hydrogen production formula. An outer side of the thin layer is airtight. An inner side is air-permeable. An inner side surface has a plurality of small holes. The thin layer can be a single layer or a composite layer. The hydrogen production formula does not dissipate. The hydrogen production formula absorbs moisture in the air or liquid water, thereby generating hydrogen. The hydrogen is released onto the skin and into the human body through the small holes. The hydrogen production formula includes metal peroxides, metal hydroxides, or metal hydrides and aluminum powder, or microsilica. The gas permeable layer can be used in sanitary products including eye masks, mouth masks, face masks, cosmetic facial masks, bras, pasties, nursing pads, sanitary napkins (towels), diapers, panty liners, wound dressing, woundplasts, bandage gauze, decubitus pads.
