    摘要: Fuel cell system including a fuel cell assembly having an anode and a cathode. A fuel/electrolyte module includes a liquid fuel and/or a liquid electrolyte and/or components of the liquid fuel and/or the liquid electrolyte. A housing arrangement houses the fuel cell assembly and the fuel/electrolyte module. A system is used for transferring at least a part of the contents of the fuel/electrolyte module into the fuel cell assembly. A method is also disclosed of generating electrical power using a power system including at least one fuel cell unit having a fuel cell assembly and a fuel/electrolyte module arranged within a housing arrangement. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

    摘要: A fuel cell includes a cathode, an anode, a fuel chamber, and a membrane arranged between the anode and the fuel chamber. The membrane is structured and arranged to allow gas to accumulate adjacent the anode at least to a point where the gas limits or substantially prevents a contact between the anode and a fuel. The method includes generating electrical energy with the fuel cell, preventing further generation of electrical energy of the fuel cell, and facilitating, with the membrane, an accumulation of the gas adjacent the anode at least to a point where the gas substantially prevents a contact between the anode and the fuel. Another method includes using a gas which is formed by an initial decomposition of the fuel to restrict or substantially prevent any further contact between the fuel and the anode. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
