Abstract
A power supply apparatus comprising a plurality of planar fuel cell assemblies is disclosed. Each planar fuel cell assembly comprises two fuel cell members, a channel-forming member interposed between the two fuel cell members and defining a first channel for flowing a fluid fuel along with the two fuel cell members, and a coupling member to be coupled with an adjacent planar fuel cell assembly to define a second channel for flowing an ambient air, wherein the coupling member has a plurality of openings for flowing the ambient air therethrough.
Claims22
A power supply apparatus comprising at least one planar fuel cell assembly, the planar fuel cell assembly comprising a fuel cell unit, a channel-forming member, and a coupling member, the fuel cell unit to be interposed between the channel-forming member and the coupling member so as to define a first channel and a second channel respectively, the first channel adapted for flowing a fluid fuel along with the fuel cell unit, the second channel adapted for flowing ambient air, wherein the coupling member has at least one opening for flowing ambient air therethrough.
