Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fuel cells (10) that can use microorganisms (microbes) to oxidize fuel. Certain aspects are directed to fuel cells that operate at relatively elevated temperatures with an increase of metabolisms of the microorganisms.Microorganism metabolism may also be improved, by exposing the microorganisms to growth promoters such as fertilizer, nitrogen sources, biomass, etc. The microorganisms, may be anaerobic or microaerophilic and can be obtained, for example, from the soil, compost, peat, sewage, bogs, wastewater, or other organic-rich matrices. The electrode, of the microbial fuel cells may be flexible and/or porous, may be treated, e.g., with acid and/or biomass, to improve performance. One aspect relates to switching systems that allow a plurality of fuel cells (which may be housed in one vessel or separate vessels) to sustain net power output that is greater than the sum of the individual microbial fuel cells under constant load. Other aspects relate to techniques for forming such fuel cells and fuel cell components, techniques for using such fuel cells, systems involving such fuel cells.

Abstract: a system controller 100 controlling an electric power generation system of a fuel cell powered vehicle realizes functions as a fuel-cell power-generation response time estimation section 101, by which power-generation response time of a fuel cell 1 is estimated, an optimum motor-output response time estimation section 102, by which an optimum output response time of a drive motor 22 is estimated, and a motor-output response time control section 103 for controlling an output response time of the drive motor 22. The power-generation response time of the fuel cell is estimated based on an atmospheric pressure detected by an atmospheric sensor 35 and depending on this power-generation response time, the output response time of the drive motor is controlled so as to limit a rate of change in a torque command value for the drive motor such that the output response time of the drive motor is not shorter than power-generation response time of the fuel cell.
