Fuel cell
A metal/air fuel cell comprising an elongate case with a closed inner space, a flat flexible diaphragm and a flat cathode plate with axially disposed inner opposing surfaces and outer surfaces and arranged in the case to define a central electrolyte chamber therebetween and air chambers axially outward thereof, a flat anode plate in the electrolyte chamber, a first collector between the anode and cathode plates and a flat electric insulating fluid permeable insulator between the cathode plate and the collector and cooperating therewith to maintain the plates in predetermined spaced relationship, electrolyte supply means conducting electrolyte into and out of the electrolyte chamber and air supply means conducting air under pressure into the air chambers to feed air into the outer surface of the cathode plate and to urge the diaphragm axially toward the anode plate anode thereby urging plate collector, insulator and cathode plate into uniform pressure engagement with each other.
