Abstract:
A fuel cell comprising:a housing chamber; molten carbonates being disposed within said housing chamber; a first electrode at least partially immersed in said molten carbonates, said first electrode having an internal working space and having pores dimensioned so that gas is kept within the internal working space of said first electrode and said molten carbonates are kept outside the internal working space of said first electrode by capillary forces; a second electrode at least partially immersed in said molten carbonates, said second electrode having an internal working space and having pores dimensioned so that gas is kept within the internal working space of said second electrode and said molten carbonates are kept outside the internal working space of said second electrode by capillary forces; a fuel gas supply connected to said first electrode; an oxidizing gas supply connected to said second electrode.
