A heat generating device includes a container, a heat generating element, and a heater. A hydrogen-based gas contributing to heat generation is introduced into the container. The heat generating element is provided inside the container. The heater is configured to heat the heat generating element. The heat generating element includes a base made of a hydrogen storage metal, a hydrogen storage alloy, or a proton conductor, and a multilayer film provided on a surface of the base. The multilayer film having a stacking configuration of: a first layer that is made of a hydrogen storage metal or a hydrogen storage alloy, and a second layer that is made of a hydrogen storage metal, a hydrogen storage alloy, or ceramics different from that of the first layer. The first layer and the second layer have a layer shape with a thickness of less than 1000 nm.

Heat generating device and method for generating heat

A heat generating system () of the present invention controls an excess heat output from heat-generating element cells () that are generating excess heat as a result of the heat generation reaction among the plurality of heat-generating element cells () by increasing the number of heat generation reaction positions, and therefore even if the other heat-generating element cells () do not generate excess heat due to insufficient heat generation reaction, the heat-generating element cells () in which the heat generation reaction is certainly occurring can compensate for insufficient amount of heat to be recovered, thereby capable of stably obtaining heat using the heat-generating element cells () each of which generates heat using a hydrogen storage metal or a hydrogen storage alloy.
