894,530. Fuel cells. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Oct. 31, 1960 [Nov. 3, 1959 (2)], No. 37330/60. Drawings to Specification. Class 53. The efficiency of a fuel cell using a solid ionexchange resin in a hydrated state is improved by integrally bonding gas adsorbing metal electrodes to opposite sides of the electrolyte membrane. The Specification discloses a wide range of materials and suggests increasing efficiency by occasionally reversing the polarity of the cell or by passing an externally-generated current through in the normal directions. The Specification also suggests the re-conversion of the water formed in an H2+O cell into its elementary gases by appropriate chemical agents. The Specification also discloses in detail the construction of a suitable cell, in which lamella are assembled to form the necessary gas passages. Specification 794,471 is referred to. |
