Abstract

A device intended to generate electricity includes a planar fuel cell having: cells each provided with an anode and a cathode associated with a membrane, and a first face and a second face opposite to the first face, the first face being arranged on the side with the anodes of the fuel cell and the second face being arranged on the side with the cathodes of the fuel cell. Furthermore, this device includes a system configured to generate a first air flow intended to cooperate thermally with the first face, and configured to generate a second air flow intended to cooperate with the second face to ensure the supply of oxidizer to the cathodes of the fuel cell.
