This will be the nexus for new technologies. As a gateway for more powerful machines, the capability will be endless. You can power a massive 1000+ kW machine with a small power generator.
This technology does not eliminate greenhouse gases and is not renewable. It does result in an increase in energy production from fossil fuel in excess of 100%. The implication is that this technology will use natural gas as the fuel source, or perhaps liquid propane, though this is not explicitly stated. If economical it will immediately make oil and lower efficiency gas furnaces source obsolete. In conjunction with a geothermal heat pump it will achieve incredible efficiencies.
@landofway The fuel cell will use oxygen from the atmosphere and emit carbon dioxide in its place. It will require an air intake and exhaust inside a house. It might be located outside. It means using more natural gas and less oil and coal, imported or otherwise. It will make electric resistance heat competitive with high efficiency gas and will outperform all other fossil fuels for hot water. It makes a huge contribution to cutting greenhouse gas emmision, but does not eliminate it.
Anyway, we will try other source like Solar and Vertical Windmill (if there is somebody who is doing vertical windmill now.
Im also trying to concerve in my fuel expenses, because Its consuming almost double the price now, because of the 40% increase in Petrol at Philippine within few month ago. It seems that Big companies are benefiting in this suffering. God Bless All!
Can we have in expensive alternative energy at home?
Im right here at the middle of Pacific (Philippines) and we would like to have Alternative Energy. Our Electricity Bills is eating our Family budget by almost 50%. And we feel pitty because we always need to save and be conservative in using electricty because of its pricy cost now.
We always do limit our watching TV, dont use microwave use, we use only Top Washing Machine, we limit the ironing and everything.
this is a novel idea..but it still requires "fuel" which means in this case nat gas or other fossil fuels. in my opinion not entirely "clean energy"..celan energy is that which uses sun or wind or geothermal..not fossil fuels
Thinking about it a bit further, it means that 'sustainable' sources like wind and solar can manufacture fuel while the sun shines or the wind blows, then use the fuel up in darkness/still winds - so effectively acting as a battery. (This 'reverse process' is what NASA wanted it for in the first place I think. Clearly there would be efficiency losses going both ways.)
Топливный элемент данного типа не решает экологические задачи, но шаг в направлении большего к.п.д. энергетических мощностей. Но имеющиеся электростанции имеют в конце-концов больший к.п.д. В дальнейшем возможно разница не будет слишком большой.
This is not a "power source", its a miniature generator. You still need a fossil fuel and oxygen fed into the system for it to convert them into electricity.
This system might make it more efficient to produce electricity, which is already a good start, but by itself is useless.
Clearly the host didnt understand this concept when she said "you can feed in solar", solar what, electricity?
Good way for gas and oil companies to take away business from electric companies. More money for them, yay!
@tommillers I think real fuel cells are reversible - that is, you could feed in solar (electricity) and whatever it normally exhausts and it would produce fuel and air. Plus I think I read that at least 50% of power is lost through the grid, and more through "excess capacity" not being used. Such savings are massive, and worth having.
bloom is trying to replace power plants. However these units are currently more expensive and less efficient than the fossil fuel power plants they are vying to replace. The unit's don't store energy but convert chemicals to electrical power. If they can make it more efficient and less costly, it could be a game changer for replacing polluting power plants.
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.
The whole world is now focusing actively on exploring and investing in alternative green energies, our PM (precisely, Congress Govt.) still believes in 19th century fantasy of supremacy of Nuclear energy despite several scary incidents which includes recent Fukushima (Japan nuclear explosion)...Something fishy !!!!
This uses natural gas............at 9:20 they FINALLY REVEAL that THE MYSTERY BOX RUNS ON NATURAL GAS and DOES NOT EXTRACT FREE ENERGY FROM THE AIR!!!!!
@vkvraju, I don't mean to contradict you. But being an Indian, I have a point. The person who invented may be Indian. But the country that has always funded and supported such things is US. I'm quite sure he wouldn't have got the support, recognition and market in India or any country other than US. Again, I am Indian too :)
Fuel goes in, air goes in, electricity comes out, CO2 comes out. They miss that last bit I noticed. They may be "Greener" than say burning the gas in an ICE or turbine, but the still put out pollution!
They have had technologies like these for 20+ years. When are they going to go in to use? If it can power a house, it can power a car!!! So what's the deal!
you have to store the Hydrogen... Hydrogen doesn't "gassify" or become liquid under pressure like LNG. So if any air leaks into the tank while you are filling it, the ENTIRE container can explode at once. Unlike LNG or gasoline, where only the gaseous part will blow. And you are filling it every day, all day long, unlike an LNG or gas tank, where they are filled once a month or less... Just. Not. Safe.
They CUT what he said about solar... He said "You CAN use solar..." and they CUT IT right there! What he was going to say was something like "...but you have to use the solar to make hydrogen, then store the hydrogen, and run it back through the fuel cell." That is NOT safe, or not AS safe as other means of storing the power.
If you have solar panels, like I do, you can just use them directly, except they don't work at night. So you put in three times as many solar panels, use the excess to make Hydrogen from water, then use the fuel cell (at night) to make the hydrogen back into electricity. You typically loose about half the energy doing that, but still, half is better than none, and that's why you put in 3 times as many panels as you needed.
This is just a hydrogen fuel cell... It may (or may not) be a better hydrogen fuel cell, but it's just a fuel cell. You still have to supply the Hydrogen... You can do that with electricity... and the electricity can come from solar panels or coal fired plants or from NG. But you have to supply a fuel.
Within 6 to 8 months of decent funding, we can begin a production line to generate 100 SEGs a week. That's 100 people not paying for electricity, gasoline, natural gas (as shown above), nuclear, etc.
After a year or so, we can open another production line to generate 1000 SEGs a week. Those SEGs will cost about $1700 US Dollars and NEVER any other costs associated.
So after the tax cuts, Ebay spent $1,750,000 on these boxes and it has only saved them $100,000 in 9 months. So it would be roughly 15 years before they started seeing a return on this investment. I guess thats ok for big companies but a lot of the smaller and moderate sized ones won't be willing to take that long of a hit.
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). No one in india invest more than this because only for clean and green. We don't know what is clean and green we only know what is cheep and reliable.
hmmm This sound like a more efficient way to use gas. Your still using gas, bet you need less to make the same amount of power. I'm also wondering if they cut him off when he said, "you can use solar." It sounded like the sentence continued to me, but I'm not about to guess what he said if anything. If the can get the price to be lower than coal I'd say go for it. Anything, even natural gas, is better than coal.
@facelessone86 What he was going to say was something like "...but you have to use the solar to make hydrogen, then store the hydrogen, and run it back through the fuel cell." That is NOT safe, or not AS safe as other means of storing the power.

I guess this solves the energy problem. Cars will run on this. No more oil, no more coal and fuck nuclear plants. No more pollution. This is a breakthrough.
Favourite this vid. Don't let the government cover this technology up like the technocrats do with everything else. News of this technology should be on the front page of every newspaper it is FREE ENERGY and if people are not made aware of it we could lose out on it! Tell all your friends! Let them know how beneficial this could be to their lives!
@aroundtheworlda It's not free energy, the guy just said it requires FUEL to mix with free air to convert to electricity...that being said, I'm all for this technology as well, anything to get the fuck away from these illuminati OIL conglomerates that are ruining the planet each day. A wind turbine is free energy because it converts wind to electricity, a solar panel is free energy because it takes sun rays and makes electricity. I still say harnessing lightening bolts is what we really need...
@aroundtheworlda What would be the purpose though of running solar power through this fuel cell - why not just convert solar to electricity the way it's done now? This is more for gas-to-electricity or biofuel-to-electricity, etc.
@CanonPachelbel using this with solar is a great idea, there would be no need for batteries saving you tons of money and the device would be the perfect clean energy device
@Guesspascal Someone is going to have distribute and maintain these systems, so I would think utility companies would naturally take this up due to their expertise. I would not trust the average homeowner with the responsibility for a high power electrical source.
in new england national grid and n star who are the electrical utility companys bought all the gas companies because...... these bloom box run on gas.... jackpot for them
Go for it Mr. John Dore - This is it!! OK!! The reason - it's stationary. Plenty of space for energy storage. That secret fuel on the other side will be self grown hydrogen. The technology leaves power lines and batteries in the dirt. If you big $guys$ dont believe in this - we'll never get there. Take the plunge!
The problem with SOFCs is that they don't become electrolytically active until about 650 degrees C, so start up times are at minimum 20-30 minutes. Thermal cycling (turning it off and on) will also reduce the lifetime of the system. However, companies like Protonex are currently building SOFCs for semis to replace diesel generators
I was a bit skeptical about this until I learned that John Doerr was on board. Mr. Doerr is a very smart man with a very impressive track record. Furthermore, he has connections with the very companies that would be the natural customers for this company. Quite hopeful! (If you're unfamiliar with fuel cells, you might read the Wikipedia article on "fuel cell" which is quite good.)
Motorola, Rolls-Royce, Shell Oil, and Boeing are just a few of the large companies that have been researching SOFCs for the last 50 years. This is no surprise to the fuel cell community, and its sad that the public is skeptic of them
So it starts off by saying we could power our homes virtually for free from these little boxes (& even one plate could power a light so it could be built into the product like using lighter fuel to power your light)... but it then ends up saying that only the big corporations CAN buy these things (& they ARE doing so on the quiet).. & he says tthe utility companies could buy the boxes & sell the power locally.
The units cost $700,000-800,000 currently, hence only corporations currently on testing these (I also think they want relatively controlled test runs with these companies as well). As for solar I read in an article he hopes to use it in conjunction with solar panels. He envisions solar panels supplying daytime power, and the Bloom Box supplying power for night time.
I have a friend who is building a development of 12 houses & a conference centre & he's putting in Eu800,000 worth of solar PV & ground heat technology
He would LOVE one of these & is happy to spend $700,000 on it
More to the point yet again ordinary folk like you & me can't just buy just one to use like a gas central heating boiler which makes electricity
Why oh why is it always the big corporates that get cheap energy while the rest of us pay through the nose for the stuff?
The host asked a stupid question with the solar, but he said yes because fuel cells can be used in combination with a solar power plant to store energy at night. So its a stretch of an answer, but the host should have known better.
There is a lot of technology in that "box," and prices won't come down until manufacturing costs are reduced. Think about the personal computer as an example
There is a professor at Ohio Universty that has discovered how crack the hydrogen market. Through the electrolosis of urea, to produce hydrogen at a fraction of the cost. It's unique because it is a renewable energy source and a green one. A much better way than Bloom Box without the natural gas.
What would that make America and the West? You see, that's what the Big Boys of Europe and America are scared of: A country with thee times their population with the technology to make them 10 times more powerful.
if this comes out for homes. could you use these to heat green houses or power grow lights ? i am just wondering because if this is powerful enough you could have tons of lights and grow your own food year round indoors or in a green house
Well you could grow anything you would like to grow i guess. whatever grows in your climate. I would love to grow all of my own food, then i would know its free of harmful chemicals and insecticides
yes, they run on electricity. But watch out, you can't run a gas heater off of electricity. Is it really a leap for you to realize that you can run electric devices off of electrical power? I wonder what your using your grow lights for, it'd probably be nice to be off the grid :)
SOFCs can run on virtually any hydrocarbon or hydrogen fuel. I think the bloom box is intended for natural gas, but it would probably run without modification on several other fuels.
Correct. These inventions threaten the profit of the conventional fuel industries, and more importantly, the fundamental powerbase of the elite caste.
@benthejrporter that is so great. I recently read on the start-up fuel cell company from Caltech, SAFcell, which uses the newest type of fuel cell, the solid acid fuel cell, SAFC, which is very promising and could eventually compete with Bloom in the future. In all, this is very good stuff for the environment and humanity.

@Guesspascal Someone is going to have distribute and maintain these systems, so I would think utility companies would naturally take this up due to their expertise. I would not trust the average homeowner with the responsibility for a high power electrical source.

Go for it Mr. John Dore - This is it!! OK!! The reason - it's stationary. Plenty of space for energy storage. That secret fuel on the other side will be self grown hydrogen. The technology leaves power lines and batteries in the dirt. If you big $guys$ dont believe in this - we'll never get there. Take the plunge!

The problem with SOFCs is that they don't become electrolytically active until about 650 degrees C, so start up times are at minimum 20-30 minutes. Thermal cycling (turning it off and on) will also reduce the lifetime of the system. However, companies like Protonex are currently building SOFCs for semis to replace diesel generators

I was a bit skeptical about this until I learned that John Doerr was on board. Mr. Doerr is a very smart man with a very impressive track record. Furthermore, he has connections with the very companies that would be the natural customers for this company. Quite hopeful! (If you're unfamiliar with fuel cells, you might read the Wikipedia article on "fuel cell" which is quite good.)
RoyalOui 1 year ago
Motorola, Rolls-Royce, Shell Oil, and Boeing are just a few of the large companies that have been researching SOFCs for the last 50 years. This is no surprise to the fuel cell community, and its sad that the public is skeptic of them

So it starts off by saying we could power our homes virtually for free from these little boxes (& even one plate could power a light so it could be built into the product like using lighter fuel to power your light)... but it then ends up saying that only the big corporations CAN buy these things (& they ARE doing so on the quiet).. & he says tthe utility companies could buy the boxes & sell the power locally.
WTF!!
He says it can run on solar too?? That's weird.
What's the 'fuel' with solar?
ejbh3160 1 year ago
The units cost $700,000-800,000 currently, hence only corporations currently on testing these (I also think they want relatively controlled test runs with these companies as well). As for solar I read in an article he hopes to use it in conjunction with solar panels. He envisions solar panels supplying daytime power, and the Bloom Box supplying power for night time.

I have a friend who is building a development of 12 houses & a conference centre & he's putting in Eu800,000 worth of solar PV & ground heat technology
He would LOVE one of these & is happy to spend $700,000 on it
More to the point yet again ordinary folk like you & me can't just buy just one to use like a gas central heating boiler which makes electricity
Why oh why is it always the big corporates that get cheap energy while the rest of us pay through the nose for the stuff?
ejbh3160 1 year ago
The host asked a stupid question with the solar, but he said yes because fuel cells can be used in combination with a solar power plant to store energy at night. So its a stretch of an answer, but the host should have known better.
There is a lot of technology in that "box," and prices won't come down until manufacturing costs are reduced. Think about the personal computer as an example

No wonder he was keeping secret, he didn't want the Government (NASA) to find out what he was doing!
This is the REAL DEAL, and it has my approval!

@AlienScientist The only thing I have a problem with is that they want to sell these to the power companies and still charge us for energy.

There is a professor at Ohio Universty that has discovered how crack the hydrogen market. Through the electrolosis of urea, to produce hydrogen at a fraction of the cost. It's unique because it is a renewable energy source and a green one. A much better way than Bloom Box without the natural gas.

if this comes out for homes. could you use these to heat green houses or power grow lights ? i am just wondering because if this is powerful enough you could have tons of lights and grow your own food year round indoors or in a green house

Or maybe grow something BESIDES fruits and vegetables, or even flowers, with your grow lights? :) LOL

Well you could grow anything you would like to grow i guess. whatever grows in your climate. I would love to grow all of my own food, then i would know its free of harmful chemicals and insecticides
MWCstream 1 year ago
yes, they run on electricity. But watch out, you can't run a gas heater off of electricity. Is it really a leap for you to realize that you can run electric devices off of electrical power? I wonder what your using your grow lights for, it'd probably be nice to be off the grid :)

SOFCs can run on virtually any hydrocarbon or hydrogen fuel. I think the bloom box is intended for natural gas, but it would probably run without modification on several other fuels.

@benthejrporter that is so great. I recently read on the start-up fuel cell company from Caltech, SAFcell, which uses the newest type of fuel cell, the solid acid fuel cell, SAFC, which is very promising and could eventually compete with Bloom in the future. In all, this is very good stuff for the environment and humanity.
