โฆ Synopsis
secured between the base and the top frame and received in the notch and recessed edge, so that an electrolyte chamber is formed between the boot and the cathode, and a coolant chamber between the boot and the top frame. The invention includes an anode which has several integral posts extending through the holes in the boot, where each post has a head for securing the boot to the anode, to preclude migration of material between the electrolyte and coolant chambers. Also described is a backing plate with multiple holes and a ridge extending downwards, where the backing plate holes fit over the posts and are underneath the head, and the ridge contacts the boot to provide a compressive seal. In a moving anode configuration, a spring is located between the backing plate and the housing to maintain a predetermined distance between the anode and cathode, to generate a constant supply of electrical power.

power output is controlled through the charge status of the energy storage unit.
Here the MCFC electrode support is constructed from a high-porosity reticulated foam on the face of the anode or the cathode facing away from the electrolyte matrix, to form multiple pores. The
