Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to the design and manufacturing of a symmetrical polymer electrolyte fuel cell (the cell module) having two cells arranged in mirror symmetry with respect to a central plane of a non conductive fuel manifold. The symmetrical dual cell configuration allows application of adhesive seals for the innermost fuel electrodes. These seals are formed by gluing two membrane electrode assemblies to the opposing faces of the central manifold. The cell module employed as an array of individual modules, or combined into planar or stacked fuel cell configurations.
