Fluid distribution surface for solid fuel cells

An electrode fluid distributor (200) includes a fluid passageway (204) having a plurality of segment pairs each including an inlet (232) segment in fluid communication with an and an outlet segment (234)in fluid communication with an outlet. The fluid passageway (204) may have a length greater than the longest dimension of the distributor. Further, a plurality of fluid passageways (204) may be provided, wherein at least one of the fluid passageways (204) includes at least one turn. A baffle (242) is disposed between adjacent inlet (232) segments and outlet segments (234) of the fluid passageway (204). Each inlet (232) segment is in fluid communication with adjacent inlet (232) segments and adjacent outlet segments, and each outlet segment (234) is in fluid communication with adjacent outlet segments.
