Original Abstract Submitted

In an embodiment a method includes manufacturing a membrane-electrode-gas diffusion layer assembly (MEGA) fabric by bonding a gas diffusion layer (GDL) material to a first surface of a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) fabric, injecting, by a steam injector, a liquid material to a first surface of the MEGA fabric while allowing the liquid material to be absorbed to the first surface of the MEGA fabric, supplying, by a gas injector, compressed gas to a second surface of the MEGA fabric in which the liquid material has been absorbed, inspecting, by a surface inspection device, a surface state of the MEGA fabric after supplying the compressed gas and, after inspecting, winding the MEGA fabric around a MEGA winding unit.
