Abstract
Methods for actuating a downhole device in a wellbore. An example of the method is positioning a downhole device in a wellbore, the downhole device comprising a reactive metal and a reaction-inducing fluid; wherein the reaction-inducing fluid is isolated from the reactive metal. The method further includes removing the isolation of the reactive metal such that it reacts with the reaction-inducing fluid to generate a hydrogen gas, and actuating the downhole device with the hydrogen gas.
