<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel supply device of a fuel cell capable of increasing an amount of power generation by increasing an amount of supply of a fuel to a power generation section. <P>SOLUTION: In the fuel supply device of a fuel cell wherein a fuel tank 2 for storing the fuel and the power generation section 4 for generating power by being supplied with the fuel are communicated with each other through a fuel transportation pipeline 3 for transporting the fuel with capillary force, the capillary force at a fuel tank 2 side in the fuel transportation pipeline 3 is relatively small, and a capillary force increase section 6 for generating larger capillary force compared with the other part of the fuel transportation pipeline 3 is arranged at a power generation section 4 side in the fuel transportation pipeline 3. Consequently, the capillary force increase section 6 acts like a pump in the fuel supply device, the fuel can be supplied to the power generation section 4 without using an electric pump, its fuel traffic can be increased to the power generation section 4, and the capillary force increase section 6 can increase (improve) power generation performance of the direct methanol fuel cell. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
