Abstract
A fuel cell assembly comprised of an electrostrictive device for producing an electrical current, a device for producing a conditioned electrical current by conditioning the electrical current so that the amplitude of the electrical current does not vary by more than about 10 percent, an electrolytic device for converting water to hydrogen and oxygen with the conditioned electrical current, and a fuel cell device for converting the oxygen and hydrogen into a direct electrical current.
