Abstract

A fuel pack with a space for storing a fuel is provided which includes a case, wherein the case includes a feed port for exhausting the fuel to outside of the fuel pack, and at least a portion of the case is formed of a biodegradable material.

Claims (25)

1. A fuel pack comprising:

a fuel case main body, which includes a space for storing a fuel and is adapted to be removably coupled to a power generation portion that generates power by using the fuel, and which comprises an exposed portion that is exposed with respect to the power generation portion when the fuel case main body is coupled with the power generation portion; and

a feed port for supplying the fuel to the power generation portion;

wherein the fuel case main body comprises a degradable portion made from a degradable material which is degradable into a component of natural soil.

2. The fuel pack according to claim 1 , wherein the fuel case main body is removable from the power generation portion by manipulating the exposed portion.

3. The fuel pack according to claim 1 , wherein the fuel case main body is adapted to be coupled to the power generation portion by manipulating the exposed portion.

4. The fuel pack according to claim 1 , further comprising an intake port for collecting a byproduct generated by the power generation portion.

5. A fuel pack comprising:

a case which includes a space for storing a fuel, and which comprises a feed port for exhausting the fuel to outside of the fuel pack;

wherein the case comprises a degradable portion made from a degradable material which is degradable into a component of natural soil.

6. The fuel pack according to claim 5 , wherein the fuel case main body is removable from the power generation portion by manipulating the exposed portion.

7. The fuel pack according to claim 5 , wherein the fuel case main body is adapted to be coupled to the power generation portion by manipulating the exposed portion.

8. The fuel pack according to claim 5 , further comprising an intake port for collecting a by-product generated by the power generation portion.

9. The fuel pack according to claim 5 , wherein at least a part of the fuel case main body is transparent.

10. The fuel pack according to claim 5 , wherein the fuel case main body is at least partially transparent and comprises a graduation for measuring a quantity of the fuel in the fuel case main body.

11. The fuel pack according to claim 6 , further comprising a protecting member which separates the degradable portion of the case from degradation factors for degrading the degradable portion.

12. The fuel pack according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the fuel case main body is transparent.

13. The fuel pack according to claim 1 , wherein the fuel case main body is at least partially transparent and comprises a graduation for measuring a quantity of the fuel in the fuel case main body.

14. The fuel pack according to claim 11 , wherein the protecting member is made of a material which is not degradable by the degradation factors.

15. The fuel pack according to claim 11 , wherein the protecting member comprises a film which covers the portion of the case formed of the biodegradable material.

16. The fuel pack according to claim 11 , wherein the protecting member is removable from the case.

17. A fuel pack comprising:

a fuel case main body which includes a space for storing a fuel and is adapted to be removably coupled to a power generation portion that generates power by using the fuel, and which comprises an exposed portion that is exposed with respect to the power generation portion when the fuel case main body is coupled with the power generation portion; and

a feed port for supplying the fuel to the power generation portion;

wherein the feed port comprises a degradable portion made from a degradable material which is degradable into a component of natural soil.
