FIELD: electrical engineering; fuel-cell systems using direct methanol supply.
SUBSTANCE: proposed fuel-cell system has base 14 built as integral body mounting at least one electrode-membrane assembly 16. Base has internal supply channel 32 incorporating mixing chamber and communicating with electrode-membrane assembly of fuel cell for feeding fuel-containing fluid medium 34 to electrode-membrane assembly. Outlet channel 38 incorporating water entrapping and recirculation system 56 is also provided in base and communicates with electrode-membrane assembly. This electrode-membrane assembly communicating with supply and outlet channels organizes integral fuel-cell assembly.
EFFECT: provision for miniaturizing fuel-cell system incorporating microchannels and cavities and for developing its manufacturing technique.
