KR Sridar and Bloom Energy's "Bloom Box" - Greegor - 2010-02-25 00:54:00
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6228923n KR Sridhar and Bloom Energy's "Bloom Box" New type of fuel cell takes in natural gas and ambient Oxygen and produces electricity. eBay, Google and other major corporations already have units outside their buildings. He originally designed the gadget to produce Oxygen on Mars, but when NASA rejected it he reversed the process to be a fuel cell. This thing sounds so good that Greenies and even non Greenies can get excited.

Read the comments. The watermelons think it runs only on Oxygen :-( And Stahl says, "NO emissions" ??? Damn!

I loved the little cube 'reactor', and then the huge box that it went into! Looks like it runs at a pretty high temperature, and needs to have at least the oxygen purified, and probably strips the carbon out of the natural gas... Charlie

Stahl is another techno-twit. His job is money, nor does he hit 100%. What i care about is price, function, operating costs, and longevity. The article already noted issues with air filters clogging; -> operating=20 costs. > >Damn!

Directly converting chemical=20 energy to electrical energy sidesteps the heat mode with very lossy=20 boilers and turbines. If the reactions are right it may be doable,=20 but proven longevity has NOT been demonstrated.
