Why aren't we using this NOW??!!!! We're running out of time to get off Oil instead of Obama wasting billions on solar power, why the hell didn't they invest in THIS!!!!!!?!
@solarpanels3 pv panels are incredible but the amount of environmental harm done by their manufacturing heavily outweighs the benefits gained using them as an alternative energy source.
What the world needs to fucking realize is that energy doesnt have to ONLY be in electricity. The proliferation of geo-thermal storage will go much further than finding new sources......
Older, less faster, models of Automatons could in essence be "Donated" to the Masses of the Third and Fourth World. If put into rapid "Mega Project" Mode, these machines in mass could bring an Improvised Nation to "First World" status in a matter of years or maybe even months. The TECHNOLOGICAL SINGULARITY will happen, when will happen? That's the The Six Million Dollar Question.???
The half of the world that can afford cheap robots would most probably have more robots than they can handle. Therefore just like an Average Household has a Fridge, Stove, AC, Couple cars, etc. An Average household in the future might have more than one robot. 1 Billion people each owning 2 or 3 robots each costing about the price of a cheap car (e.g $3000-$7000) could generate 10x, 20x, maybe even 50-100x the robots worth in 1 "WORK YEAR". Therefore OVER ABUNDANCE.
The cheap robots of the Future would eventually take the place of their "Human Masters", generating "WORK INCOME". Your own personal robot would go to work everyday on your behalf. Of course about HALF of Humanity can barely survive the Daily struggle to Live on less than 1$ a day. Half of Humanity would care less about "Personal" robots because they can barely afford their daily Sustenance. That's where "Robot Charity" might come in to the picture.
At first the Global Automation Domination will seem like it's "HEAVEN SENT", but after the initial GREED BUBBLE EXPANSION, after Trillions upon Trillions of Dollars are generated, The Technological Singularity will occur. Machines will create more and more efficient machines. Just like the Model T revolutionized transportation, Mass production of Robots will revolutionized LABOR. Just like you can be a cheap but reliable car today, you'll be able to buy a cheap reliable robot in the future.
When 95-97% of the world is out of a job, Humanity will "Revolt" against this Money/Monetary System that has ruled our lives for centuries. The Money/Monetary System will be the Architect of it's own demise. We don't even have to reach 95% Global Unemployment, we just have to have enough people with no jobs, no money to spend on useless products, and Bam!!! The Domino's will fall. Global Corporations will let their GREED for SHORT-TERM Profit blind them from LONG-TERM Collapse.
Robotic Automation will ultimately FREE Humanity. 95-97% of all jobs in the world can be done better, faster, more efficiently than a human. From a pizza deliver driver to an Airline Pilot. An Automated A.I. with only sufficient Intelligence to do it's job will eventually be cheaper to buy than to pay human employees. Also considering a machine might be able to do the job of 10 humans, then it's more economically viable for a company.
This is outstanding. I know big corporation and ppl who running oil business would do anything and everything to stop him but i hope this thing can comeout in market at affordable price. GOD bless.
Sadly, it's going to die out eventually. The big electricity corporations (and of course, oil companies who would lose $billions if these cells are installed in cars) will kick in trying to stop this amazing energy revolution by bribing our sellout government... just like it happened with the electric car.
This guy is a world hero though... he could save us from a catastrophic end after we run out of natural energy sources.
I figured I would hear alot more about this by now. The fact I still don't see this expanding or being used more makes think that it's not as good as the hype. I could be wrong but we would see it expanding much faster if it really was putting out the energy as advertised. Bummer because energy and pollution are such big problems.
This is really a great idea. Even though it uses fossil fuel, it's still very efficient and far less polluting than conventional power plants.
Another big factor is the transmission losses. Electricity is transported thousands of miles across the country through several grids and switching stations and sub stations and transformers before it finally reaches the consumer. Imagine transmission losses and losses while stepping up and stepping down voltages. This is really a great idea..
what will eventually take over this is the small start-up from CalTech, the Solid Acid Fuel Cells, from SAFcell, inc. It is the newest type of fuel cell technology and it seems to be the most promising. I think we are living in a very exciting time period where green energy will diminish our dependence from oil, and hopefully scale back our troops from the east
@jflor98 well, most fuel cell technologies were developed close to a century ago. However, now that the internet has allowed for swifter telecommunications, all sciences have been "turbo charged" and new materials are paving the way for the older, as well as the newer technologies. I saw a interesting research paper where the fuel cell industry is projected to bloom in about three to five years. The story is constantly changing, my friend.
I WORK FOR A SHEETMETAL SHOP HERE IN SAN JOSE CA. AND WE HAVE BEING BUILDING THE BOXES FOR BLOOMENERGY. THEY KEEP ORDERING MORE AND MORE EVERY TIME. I HOPE THEY BECOME BIG, THAT WAY THEY WILL KEEP US BUSY
@simonsmithmusic If you run something off a hydrocarbon fuel, you'll inevitably have carbon emissions. If a solid oxide fuel cell runs at double the efficiency of conventional energy generation, we halve emissions per unit of power.
We might not see bloom energy succeed, but I guarantee you'll see smaller versions.
Not in practical use in 3rd world country, because it is not cheep, in India a 5KVA electric generator and Diesel engine both come in 25000 INR($600).

Dear Daedley: God does exist but he's too big for your logic to comprehend or accept. Thank You. By the way, following a religion and believing in God are not the same thing, just in case you think so.
This uses natural gas, so it gives off carbon emissions, and you still need to mine the gas and pay for it. Hydrogen fuel cells, by contrast, combine oxygen and hydrogen to creat H2O and an electric current (thus, no GHG emissions if the Hydrogen was created by splitting water with an electric current created from wind or solar power (so why not just have wind/solar? Bc the hydrogen lets you store the energy for when the sun/wind go down). It might defeat the purpose of saving money tho.
put these things in cars..."natural gas tanks" + bloom energy + electric engine equals INDEPENDENCE FROM EXTERNAL POLITICALLY UNSTABLE REGIONS OF THE WORLD...should of been the first thing this company implemented.....the natural gas that goes to your home can become a gas station for your car....
Dave, you are quite a critic for a guy who doesn't understand business and marketing. First you sell the bloom boxes to a bunch of corporations with deep pockets, then you use that money to start building smaller ones and cheaper ones until every one in America can have one. That time is 5-10 years away tops.
@fleckx I Just hope the PG&E dose not get a hold of these and charge us all, each house on this planet should have a Bloom Box of there own at a very fair and affordable price, this invention is so amazing, even in Black outs the world would have power, the Tesla cars would have there own power plant, AMAZING.
@guineapiggyman Sure I do. I know the evils they have gotten away with. I am an advocate for all sorts of alternative energies, including hemp fuel, which is the product that it hurts the most that the government made illegal thanks to coercion from big corporations. But you know what? Times are a-changin my friend. I think as natural gas becomes more prominent, having that natural gas go along with a bloom box will be the perfect marriage. I don't think natural gas companies will ignore Bloom.
@fleckx for a guy who understands business and marketing you seem to have skimmed over your math and science. Plain and simple, it's not added up to be as efficient as as they are claiming. 1 year down, 4-9 to go.... :P Let's see if they're still efficient when the clean energy subsidies are reappropriated....
@dave777blaster I don't know anything about the technology, but 15% of the energy needs of eBay's entire corporate complex is certainly way more than the energy needs of the average home. If 5 of those boxes saved $100,000 in 9 months, that's $20,000 worth of energy per box -- you could power a whole block of homes with one of those!
@friendofthefunk the reallly big bucks wait for something that can power individual homes for pennies
thought this may save some money for big corporations it is far from anything worth cheering for .But Perhaps as you noted this is just a stepping stone we will have to see about that. I seriously doubt this will morph into the holy grail too much money at stake
@dave777blaster The point is that is was ridiculous for you to say that because the technology "only" provides 15% of the power for eBay's whole company, it could never be useful for powering homes. 15% of eBay's power consumption is way more than enough to power several homes.
@dave777blaster Maybe it will and maybe it won't. You're not convincing me you know better than anyone else where this technology will be 10 years from now, and when I pointed out the flaw in your logic regarding the "only 15%" you ignored it and switched to a different rationalization. That suggests that you're just being a naysayer.
@dave777blaster Well, Dave....computers were first just used by military and the big corporations and look now....there must have been genius future predictors like you back then as well.
dave you're a fucking moron, that's the whole fucking point. it says right in the video that they hope to have these in the backyard of every home one day. what a retard you are. get off the internet, fuck head.
@dave Not a stupid idea. Actual, our current power grid is very efficient, and large scale fuel cell power plants are arguably a better step to take, rather than house size systems.
I perform SOFC research in the Colorado Fuel Cell Center. There are a lot of people, who I guarantee are smarter than you, that believe this is a great idea. Check out Protonex, a for profit SOFC company who sells 500 watt systems to the military for recharging batteries in the field
oOoooO its super clean only exhausting CO2 but it still uses fossil fuels, wouldn't the price of natural gas go up if not how long would it take for natural gas prices to increase?
At the Colorado Fuel Cell Center and many other places, people are working on gas reforming (both internal and before the cell) such that cells can run on virtually any hydrocarbon fuel.
Right now, they will run on anything, but finding operating conditions for sustained use is a difficult operation.
Carbon in, carbon out. You can't build a hydrocarbon power source without exhausting carbon, but the promise of fuel cells is efficiencies that would cut carbon emission in half
@Pro902 - oh this might be a line in the sand worth fighting. I would be wiling to sharpen up my pitchfork and storm the Bastille over this. Truth be told, there are more "us" than "them" in this world - they know it and it scares them.
it runs on natural gas, its just very efficient so its cheaper than buying power from the power-plant (well until you pay it off), but at the end of the day it still consumes and pollutes.
Whats the problem with making profit? Whoever provides you energy will make a profit. Natural Gas will keep the money inside the US. Unfortunately politics keeps us from using our own Oil.
I didn't have time to go through all the comments, but the few I read I agree with Fordi. We were just discussing this in one of my classes (Energy Efficiency Engineering). We watch the whole interview and man it bothered me that they use the term "clean emissions" not really. Also, this is good for a company that obtains energy at a constant rate, not for the regular home when at night you use less than half of what you do during the day. Good idea, but imo they are misleading this information.
This could be the technology leap forward to spur on other companies to develop large fuel cell power plants, that would be renewable and eventually generate as much power as a nuclear power plant (typical).
It would also mean, no meltdowns, no terrorist attacks as everyone would have these etc... I'am talking 50 years or possibly more, but still, at least this company came up with it and went for it... if ebay are using it, its obvious it works.
ps. this ass never worked for nasa. he's faker than pleather. he'd be in jail right now if he had worked for nasa and was selling nasa tec on the private market.
Fuck off. I'm caucassian but leave afroamericans alone. If you're white and proud of it, think again, because people like you make us look like asses.
The guy researches for 8 yrs and then comes up with this. Venture company would like to get their money back. Maybe it is publicity to get peoples attention. Applicants ask company how green they are, man thats one of the lamest thing I ever heard. Applicants would kiss ass to get a job.
The CBS piece has all the elements of a classic infomercial. You gotta see who is behind the venture company. They will screw some people, and then get away with "Accounting Errors"
because before,it cost "trillions" for a single cell which uses..hydrogen.......now we can use natural gas,which America has so much we could power the country for 100 years...
There's much more to it than what this short CBS 60 Minutes clip shows. Bloom Energy has solved some difficult materials issues which allows the Bloom Box to operate at far higher temperatures and thus higher efficiencies than previous Solid Oxidizer Fuel Cells (SOFCs) have in the past, it doesn't need a reformer for multi-fuel use and has much higher expected reliability and lower maintenance costs. It's a significant improvement.
Looking for more details on Bloom Energy? check out this rare interview with the CEO. He answers:
1. what's in a Bloom Box?
2. is it really non polluting?
3. why is it more energy efficient?
4. what's the hydrogen aspect?
5. why might Bloom Boxes become the gas station of tomorrow?
Check out the FreshDialogues channel for this exclusive interview and other green focused interviews with Tom Friedman, Paul Krugman, Martin Sheen and many more...
I think it needs to be said that the benefit to the Bloombox is not a cleaner technology but a more efficient one. More efficient means less fuel consumption which leads to lower emissions. But it is a 0 Sum game and the Bloombox would be just a step in the right direction.
Man I hope this is real. They released a new story today about a new solar panel the size of a wallet but it's not smooth glass but rather looks like sand paper with a gritty surface. They said one panel can run a lightbulb. It would only take about 20 of them to power your house wich would take up about as much room as a large poster or a framed painting. But I guess you still need truck batteries to store the power for night time.
Where do you live, a cardboard box? 20x 60W bulbs is only 1800W of power. Thats enough to power your water heater and your washer at the same time, but not your dryer (ever).
The average household consumes about 1000kWh/month...1800W for, say, 10 hours a day for 30 days...gives you 540kWh...and thats assuming you get 10 hours of full-intensity daylight every day...which isn't possible.
weird, we don't like to discuss politics, yet we are all represented by one person sent to say whats best for all of us... If we don't talk about whats best for us? you'll only know whats best for you, and you can't please everyone unless there all want the same things... Just a thought
I understand your point.But there are some of us that would enjoy a discussion that is not off topic.I dont beleive that I'm the only one here who gets tired of scrolling over comments that does not have anything to do with the main subject....THE BLOOM BOX REMEMBER?
I was really excited when I first saw this that it might really be something big. It's great that it gives a high efficiency output from natural gas, but it still (unfortunately) has CO2 emissions. It's a great idea, and is a great way to make our natural gas reserves last longer, but...
If you say it produces no CO2, just where does the carbon go? The fuel is natural gas, i.e., methane (CH4). Does the carbon just magically disappear into the lateral universe?
You are missunderstanding the engineering at work here. The improvement is not in the source. The improvement is in the process and technology. The box is more efficient then traditional energy technologies. Using less fuel for the same energy consumption. So you still have the 1 to 1 fuel to CO2 ratio but your emitting less because your using less.
Ok, so the fuel cell elements are supposedly cheap and easy to make.
So what the hell costs $700,000? Plumbing? Looks phony to me. Probably just another impractically expensive fuel cell design. That's the big secret. Just playing for investment money like all the other con men.
Well I'll be glad as anyone if it works out, but I wont be surprised if we have to listen to 30 years of kooks telling us "the tech was suppressed!!!!"
@mranenome I think the cost is high because of the development expenses and low volume production. VCR's used to cost over $1000 back in the 80's. Volume was low, adoption slow, and the war with Betamax didn't help.
One thing that is not a hoax is the polar ice caps and mountain ices are melting at an alarming rate. You guys who think global warming is a hoax better hope you are wrong because natural varriability of climate is not something we can correct but greenhouse gas emissions is correctable.
Excellent piece by Lesley Stahl. Check out a rare and candid Fresh Dialogues interview with Bloom Energy's CEO conducted while they were in stealth mode. KR answers the questions:
1. What's in the Bloom Box?
2. Is Bloom's solution really non-polluting?
3. How is the Bloom Box a bridge to the future?
4. And how can it become the gas station of tomorrow? Check out the Fresh DIalogues channel for many more green interviews: Tom Friedman, Paul Krugman, Martin Sheen and many more.
The only problem for this technology is that it requires gases which will still have to be processed and shipped to the source point of energy generation. However, it will still multiply by many times the potential energy of gas reserves currently in production.
Ideally, these systems will be deployed as hybrids, utilizing solar, wind, or hydro-generation, coupled with high-capacity batteries, thus further increasing the potential energy available in our current and future natural gas reserves.
Fuel cells have been around for a long time. The process is simple: it's electrolysis backwards. It takes hydrogen and oxygen and produces electricity and water. Previous fuel cells required platinum or other expensive materials as catalysts; this version uses sand.
As more of these units are made, the price will come down. Hopefully, we'll see affordable unitf for individual homes in a few years.
i just like to say its a great step in the right direction, but isn't it funny that we are still relying on fuel to run the damn thing. Even if its biofuel that it can run on, which we still haven't found a great source for, i'm sure at the beginning its going to be run on only natural gas, which means the war for fossil fuel will still go on. YAY.. Another thing isn't it wonderful how he's talking about helping the world, LET ME paint my house and car with that NANOPAINT he has patent. I'll pay
You see nothing wrong with calling someone "negro"? In case you didn't know, African Americans find that term highly insulting and racist. Perhaps not so in Europe. Moreover, what would you call a turk or a native American, or a Uzbek? What about an Indian since racially Indians are not negroids, causacians, or mongoloids? So much for correctness...
Great segment by Lesley Stahl. But if you want more detail - check out Fresh Dialogues channel for a rare exclusive interview with Bloom Energy CEO who answers:
1. is the Bloom Box non polluting?
2. how soon will we see a refrigerator sized Bloom Box?
3. how can it become the gas station of tomorrow?

Your "climate gate" amounts to zero support for your climate change denials. People will make mistakes and are prone to being human, but in no way does any of it dispute or displace the bulk of the scientific evidence from multiple and reliable sources indicating GCC is happening now. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere and saturating the oceans is bad for humans and other life forms. End of story.
At least this technology makes no global warming. It would be nice we could replace more of our coal burning and gas burning turbine driven power plants with these.
It is naive for you to think that anyone can answer the question of whether global warming is real in this lifetime. The real answers to whether humans have had any effect on the climate will not be known for thousands of years. If they are having an effect, by the time is it absolutely "known," it will be too late to do anything about it.
It uses sand or a square silicon flat plate. Oxygen goes into one side and natural gas goes into the other and they produce electricity without burning natural gas which makes Co2 greenhouse gas. Natural gas is made from animal, plant and microorganism fossels and take 300 million years to make; natural gas is not unlimited resource but will run out. As a result, wind, solar and hydrogen fuel cell will out compete this technology in the future but it's effiency will still make him rich.

5 boxes each the size of a car saves only 15% of power consumption ?
that's hardly a technology that can be placed in everyone's home.

@dave777blaster I don't know anything about the technology, but 15% of the energy needs of eBay's entire corporate complex is certainly way more than the energy needs of the average home. If 5 of those boxes saved $100,000 in 9 months, that's $20,000 worth of energy per box -- you could power a whole block of homes with one of those!

@dave777blaster The point is that is was ridiculous for you to say that because the technology "only" provides 15% of the power for eBay's whole company, it could never be useful for powering homes. 15% of eBay's power consumption is way more than enough to power several homes.

At the Colorado Fuel Cell Center and many other places, people are working on gas reforming (both internal and before the cell) such that cells can run on virtually any hydrocarbon fuel.
Right now, they will run on anything, but finding operating conditions for sustained use is a difficult operation.
Carbon in, carbon out. You can't build a hydrocarbon power source without exhausting carbon, but the promise of fuel cells is efficiencies that would cut carbon emission in half

We watch the whole interview and man it bothered me that they use the term "clean emissions" not really. Also, this is good for a company that obtains energy at a constant rate, not for the regular home when at night you use less than half of what you do during the day. Good idea, but imo they are misleading this information.

There's much more to it than what this short CBS 60 Minutes clip shows. Bloom Energy has solved some difficult materials issues which allows the Bloom Box to operate at far higher temperatures and thus higher efficiencies than previous Solid Oxidizer Fuel Cells (SOFCs) have in the past, it doesn't need a reformer for multi-fuel use and has much higher expected reliability and lower maintenance costs. It's a significant improvement.

I think it needs to be said that the benefit to the Bloombox is not a cleaner technology but a more efficient one. More efficient means less fuel consumption which leads to lower emissions. But it is a 0 Sum game and the Bloombox would be just a step in the right direction.
degraves2003 1 year ago
Man I hope this is real. They released a new story today about a new solar panel the size of a wallet but it's not smooth glass but rather looks like sand paper with a gritty surface. They said one panel can run a lightbulb. It would only take about 20 of them to power your house wich would take up about as much room as a large poster or a framed painting. But I guess you still need truck batteries to store the power for night time.
bluevidcam 1 year ago
Your house consumes the power of 20 light bulbs?
Where do you live, a cardboard box? 20x 60W bulbs is only 1800W of power. Thats enough to power your water heater and your washer at the same time, but not your dryer (ever).
The average household consumes about 1000kWh/month...1800W for, say, 10 hours a day for 30 days...gives you 540kWh...and thats assuming you get 10 hours of full-intensity daylight every day...which isn't possible.

I was really excited when I first saw this that it might really be something big. It's great that it gives a high efficiency output from natural gas, but it still (unfortunately) has CO2 emissions. It's a great idea, and is a great way to make our natural gas reserves last longer, but...

If you say it produces no CO2, just where does the carbon go? The fuel is natural gas, i.e., methane (CH4). Does the carbon just magically disappear into the lateral universe?

You are missunderstanding the engineering at work here. The improvement is not in the source. The improvement is in the process and technology. The box is more efficient then traditional energy technologies. Using less fuel for the same energy consumption. So you still have the 1 to 1 fuel to CO2 ratio but your emitting less because your using less.

The only problem for this technology is that it requires gases which will still have to be processed and shipped to the source point of energy generation. However, it will still multiply by many times the potential energy of gas reserves currently in production.
Ideally, these systems will be deployed as hybrids, utilizing solar, wind, or hydro-generation, coupled with high-capacity batteries, thus further increasing the potential energy available in our current and future natural gas reserves.

Fuel cells have been around for a long time. The process is simple: it's electrolysis backwards. It takes hydrogen and oxygen and produces electricity and water. Previous fuel cells required platinum or other expensive materials as catalysts; this version uses sand.
As more of these units are made, the price will come down. Hopefully, we'll see affordable unitf for individual homes in a few years.

It uses sand or a square silicon flat plate. Oxygen goes into one side and natural gas goes into the other and they produce electricity without burning natural gas which makes Co2 greenhouse gas. Natural gas is made from animal, plant and microorganism fossels and take 300 million years to make; natural gas is not unlimited resource but will run out. As a result, wind, solar and hydrogen fuel cell will out compete this technology in the future but it's effiency will still make him rich.
