In second generation fuel cell, hydrogen and oxygen are produced the chemical dissociation of water with the simultaneous generation of electron charged hydroxyl ions. Alkali metals, termed initiators, and alkaline earths, termed moderators, react exothermally with water in the cathode compartment to generate charged hydroxyl ionic current flow in an amount correspoinding to the electrochemical equivalence of the weight of each type material reacted. The ionic electron current flow resulting from the chemical reactions occurring in the cathode compartment is discharged on the outer surfaces of a metal conduit acting as a capacitor plate, and are electrically conducted through its metal wall and deposited on the inner surfaces of the metal conduit. The build up of electron charge on the inner wall reaches a critical potential and emits electrons to receptor hydroxyl ions of the passive receptor anodic electrolyte circuit flowing through the metal conduit. Because the metal conduit accepts electrons from the cathode electrolyte ions on its outer surface and emits electrons from its inner surface to ions in the anode electrolyte circuit it is termed an Ionic Capacitor. The Ionic Capacitor operates on the principle of conservation of energy and assumes the transference of electrons between its opposing plate surfaces as being electrochemically equivalent to the reversibility of the energy release of the chemical reactions occurring in the cathode circuit of the fuel cell.
