Abstract
A fuel cell using a synthetic jet array has a structure in which a plurality of cells are superposed in series and share a manifold for inflow and outflow of air, hydrogen, and coolant. The fuel cell includes an air inflow manifold formed passing through the plurality of cells, a synthetic jet array made up of a plurality of jet generators that are disposed on the air inflow manifold at regular intervals and generate a synthetic jet toward a cathode, and a controller configured to selectively operate the jet generators of the synthetic jet array.
