Fuel cell

A fuel cell comprising a flow field component comprising:

• a first layer having first layer flow channels;
• a second layer having two parallel series of flow channel connection formations, a second layer inlet port and a second layer outlet port;
• a third layer having third layer flow channels;
• and
• wherein the second layer is disposed between the first layer and the third layer,
• wherein the first layer flow channels, the third layer flow channels, and the two parallel series of flow channel connection formations are connected to one another provide a plurality of discrete continuous flow paths between the second layer flow inlet port and the second layer flow outlet port of the flow field component by
• a first end of a portion of the first layer flow channels communicating with a corresponding first end of a portion of the third layer flow channels via a first of the two parallel series of flow channel connection formations, and
• a second end of each of the portion of the third layer flow channels communicating with a corresponding second end of each of the portion of the first layer flow channels via a second of the two parallel series of flow channel connection formations
• wherein first layer flow channels and the third layer flow channels are configured to allow a flow therein to continuously travel in a direction from the second layer flow inlet port to the second layer flow outlet port.
