<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power generation device which is not heated locally by creating a layout restraining uneven temperature distribution in a fuel cell group housing chamber. <P>SOLUTION: In the fuel cell group housing chamber 218 of the power generation unit 200, the fuel cell 216 groups are electrically connected to each other by current collection members 202. The current collection member 202 made of metal as an electricity conduction body also serves as a heat conduction body. Heat generated at power generation is transmitted to the current collection member 202 since the current collection member 202 extends from an upstream side to a downstream side of the fuel cell 216, and transmitted from a downstream side of cell stacks 204 inclined to be heated, to an upstream side of the cell stacks 204 hard to be heated, and temperature difference between the upstream side and the downstream side of the fuel cells 216 is reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
