Membraneless Microfluidic Fuel Cell

A fuel cell includes a plurality of individual fluid passageways each leading to a common outlet. Each fluid passageway includes an anode and a cathode. A plurality of fuel ports are connected to the fluid passageways and supply fuel to the passageways upstream of the anodes to flow in electrolyte towards the outlet. A plurality of oxidizer ports are connected to the fluid passageways and supply oxidizer to the passageways upstream of the cathodes to flow in electrolyte. The arrangement of the ports and the anodes and cathodes enables the fuel to oxidize at the anodes to generate electrons for conduction to a load and oxidation products, the oxidizer to reduce at the cathodes using electrons received from the load and generate reduction products, the oxidation products and reduction products to react to form a by-product, and the flow including the by- product to exit via the common outlet.
