interesting fuel cell to say the least. Supposedly inexpensive.
Pretty impressive. Even more impressive is the backing by Doerr and KPVC. I dont like the fact they are talking about power companies buying the boxes and distributing power. I thought the point was to get people off the grid? I would love to see a landscape with no overhead transmission lines...
Well, so long as that refrigerator sized unit is costing 800k USD each, then ....
Well, forget about it.
He also said that he reversed the process ...
Well, it seems as though the unit could be powered, and produce oxygen ( on mars ).
Then it appears as though it's a non-combustion based fuel cell, it still produces CO2. Probably less obnoxious than most engines I might imagine, but the price for end-consumers isn't justified.
$2K is the expected price for a residential unit. As one who burns propane as well as electricity for my home, if it could cut my propane usage by half...Shoot, that is a bargain!!
