<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power generation unit in which an amount of a fluid in each flow passage of a fuel cell is made uniform, and the fuel cell which can cope with a required generation capacity, a shape or the like flexibly. <P>SOLUTION: The power generation unit 1 is provided with a power generation cell which is composed of a pair of electrodes, an electrolyte assembly pinched by the electrodes, and a flow passage formation member 21 having the flow passage to make the fluid flow supplied to the electrolyte assembly, and a fluid conveyor system 4 having an aperture in which the inlet and the outlet of the fluid are made in common to drain the fluid to the flow passage. By this, the fluid amount flowing in the flow passage can be made uniform, and the equalization of the amount of the fluids in the respective flow passages of the power generation unit can be obtained. Furthermore, by constructing the fuel cell by the power generation unit, the fuel cell that copes with a required power generation capacity, a shapes or the like can be provided, and the fuel cell that having flexibility can be provided without the further equalization of amount of air flows in the respective flow passages. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
