FUEL CELL FOR POWERING ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES, IN PARTICULAR PORTABLE OBJECTS

摘要

The invention concerns a fuel cell (2) of the type comprising an anode (12) and a cathode (10), between which is interposed an electrolyte (18). Solid bodies (20) storing a hydrogen mass, capable of being decomposed by combustion, are associated with pyrotechnic means (24, 26) to release the hydrogen and contact it with the anode (12). Means (38) tap ambient air to bring it into contact with the cathode (10). The ignition of the pyrotechnic means (24, 26) is subjected to addressing means (28) integrated in the appliance (2). The water surplus produced by the exchange between hydrogen and oxygen is absorbed by the rise in temperature induced by the combustion of the bodies (20). The solid bodies (20) are supported by an interchangeable card (22).
