Hi Doug:
This subject is NOT in the "you got to be kidding me"
category.
Many years ago, such a fuel-cell generator was installed
at IBM Kingston and ran for a year as an experiment.
Since this is a SOURCE of electric energy, it falls into
the same category as home wind generators and home solar
generators. It's hooked up to the public utitilty with a
suitable transfer switch for supplying your home or the
utility or both. You can get such switches at Home Depot!
No big deal. Spendy, but no big deal.
Hydrogen storage and plumbing is a well-known construction.
The fuel cell system outputs standard household voltage,
current, and frequency. I believe it uses more-or-less
standard electronic switching converters such as those used
with a large UPS.
Spendy, but no big deal.
Best regards,
Rich
