Abstract
A fuel cell generator contains a plurality of fuel cells ( ) in a generator chamber ( ) and also contains a fuel reactor chamber ( ) containing either fuel cells or electrolysis cells as the depleted fuel reactor means, which means preferably has copper fuel electrodes, where oxidant ( ) and fuel ( ) are fed to the generator chamber ( ), where both fuel and oxidant react, and where all oxidant and fuel passages are separate and do not communicate with each other, so that fuel and oxidant in whatever form do not mix and where a depleted fuel exit ( ) is provided for exiting a product gas which consists essentially of carbon dioxide and water for further treatment so that carbon dioxide can be separated and is not vented to the atmosphere.
