<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cylindrical fuel cell aggregate in a good joint state even when each cell of the cylindrical fuel cells has minute warp or deformation. <P>SOLUTION: In this cylindrical fuel cell aggregate, a plurality of cylindrical fuel cells 6 constructed of porous support tubes, air electrodes, solid oxides, fuel electrodes, and inter connectors are connected to one another by means of connection members 4 and 5. The connection members 4 and 5 are formed of foam metals, and faces touching the cells in the connection members 4 and 5 are brought into contact with the cells without gaps. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
