The invention is a consumable Alkaline electrode for use in an Electrolytic Fuel Cell. The electrode system incorporates an intermediate perforated tape between the carrier insulation tape holding the electrolytic fuel and the cover stripper tape having a metalized surface which serves as the electrode conductor accepting electrons from the outer circuit. When the Electrolytic Fuel Cell tape feed mechanism introduces the electrode tape into the cathode electrolyte chamber the cover stripper tape is removed uncovering the perforations in the perforated tape underneath allowing the electrolyte to diffuse into the active metal complex generating protons and electrons. The use of a perforaied tape instead of a mechanical pin roller to bring the electrolyte into communication with the active metal simplifies the EFC cell design lowering manufacturing cost and weight.
