Will we have one in every home someday? The Bloom Box An Energy Breakthrough? A new kind of fuel cell, which is like a very skinny battery that always runs. By feeding oxygen to it on one side, and fuel on the other. The two combine within the cell to create a chemical reaction that produces electricity. No need for burning or combustion, and no need for power lines. Program Transcript No Nukes - No Coal http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/02/18/60minutes/main6221135.shtml ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Oren Jaffe" <[email protected]> To: "CleanTech Org" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 Subject: [CleanTech_Org] Announcing the Bloom Box Hey All, I am not a frequent poster here but do enjoy the banter and open-minded discussions. Have you all heard about this Bloom Box which is being announced today at 10am PST? If you haven't heard yet, you will in the coming days/weeks. Thought I would announce it to the all of you Clean Techies! It is a refrigerator sized fuel cell basically that can power up to 100 homes for only $700,000 each. They hope to make ones for individual homes for $3k, but the type of fuel it runs on could be potentially damaging. See intro article in today's San Francisco Chronicle: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/green/detail?entry_id=57837&tsp=1 Looks interesting. Is it a game changer? Probably not, but it is a start in the right direction.
