A device for generating controlled quantities of gas at predictable rates from an electrochemical cell containing a decomposable metal carbonate, bicarbonate or basic carbonate is disclosed. The cell provides more than one molecule of gas from the anode per 4 electrons passing through the cell circuit. The generated gas is comprised of carbon dioxide or a mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
