Abstract
A fuel cell system (with reference to a single cell arrangement) comprising means to provide for the reciprocating, oscillating and or vibrational motion-movement of an assembly comprised of an electrolyte sandwiched between an anode-electrode and a cathode-electrode; said motion-movement serving to accelerate electrochemical activity within the fuel cell by providing for accelerated reactant exposure to respective electrodes; including instant water removal at the cathode-electrode surface; and boosted cooling to said anode-electrode; while offering accelerated (anti electroosmotic) moisturizing to the specific benefit of the anode side of a polymer electrolyte.
Claims28
In a fuel cell system, comprising at least a single cell, wherein a mechanism engages and or transmits and thereby effects AEC assembly unit(s) (i.e., anode-electrode, electrolyte and cathode-electrode, including any interconnect and or casing materials(s) thereof), for the purpose of providing and or enabling a reciprocating and or oscillating and or vibrational motion-movement of said AEC assembly.
In a fuel cell system wherein described motion-movement is separated and divided from other structure support and or housing or sub-housing by a motion absorbing mount of which comprises a give and take motion absorbing quality, function and capability;
- said motion absorbing mount being defined as a (first) part having a give and take motion absorbing quality, function or capability, on which a (second) part attached thereto may have said motion-movement(s) relative to an attached generally stationary (third) part.
