Abstract
A solid oxide fuel assembly is made of fuel cells (16, 16′, 18, 24, 24′, 26), each having an outer interconnection layer (36) and an outer electrode (28), which are disposed next to each other with rolled, porous, hollow, electrically conducting metal mesh conductors (20, 20′) between the fuel cells, connecting the fuel cells at least in series along columns (15, 15′) and where there are no metal felt connections between any fuel cells.
