Abstract
A solid oxide fuel cell has a plurality of cylindrical solid oxide fuel cell elements arranged. Each of the fuel cell elements at least has a fuel electrode, a solid electrolyte and an air electrode. A multi-contact point type current-collecting member is contacted to the fuel electrodes. The fuel electrode of a certain fuel cell element is electrically connected to the air electrode of a solid oxide fuel electrode adjacent to this certain fuel cell element through the multi-contact point type current-collecting member and an interconnector. The multi-contact point type current-collecting member is contacted with the substantially entire surface of the fuel electrodes.
