Abstract
Electrical cells are provided including a plurality of hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells imbedded in a porous mass of iron-ferrous oxide, which can be present as porous particles. The fuel cells are formed of tubes including an inner anode wall, an outer cathode wall adjacent the particles and a solid electrolyte that permits oxygen ion transfer positioned between the cathode and anode. During cell charging, the particles are reduced and during cell discharging, the particles are oxidized.
