Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
THE METHOD OF MAKING FUEL CELLS WHICH COMPRISES MIXING FINELY POWDERED CARBONATES OF AT LEAST ONE OF THE ALKALI OR ALKALINE EARTH METALS HAVING A MELTING POINT BELOW THE NORMAL CELL OPERATING TEMPERATURE WITH A FINELY POWDERED REFRACTORY, PRESSING THE MIXTURE INTO A FLAT PLATE, PAINTING THE FACES OF THE PLATE WITH SUSPENSIONS OF METAL POWDERS IN AN ORGANIC LIQUID MEDIUM, HEATING THE PAINT TO A TEMPERATURE SUFFICIENT TO REMOVE THE ORGANIC LIQUIDS BUT INSUFFICIENT TO SINTER THE METAL POWDER, AND RAISING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE PLATE, IN FUEL CELL SERVICE, TO NEAR OR ABOVE THE SINTERING TEMPERATURE OF SAID METAL POWDER, WHEREBY THE METAL POWDER FORMS A THIN SKELETAL COATING ON THE FACES OF SAID PLATE.
