I remember doing a research project on Bloom Energy back in 2010. So awesome to see it still thriving almost a decade later. Hope it grows even bigger!!
My special needs son has read about fuel cells and finds them very interesting and thinks they are highly underrated and are much better than wind turbines and solar panels.
Bloom claims their power cuts CO2 by 50% over grid power. Keep in mind CO2 is plant food and does not control climate (the notion it does is some seriously flawed science). The CO2 comes from CO produced in reforming the fuel the cells use as source fuel, because that is what is available, and the commercially accepted way to reform it uses steam and makes CO that the fuel cell turns into less toxic CO2. Not a simple process, and it could be done better, always room for improvement.
Where's the Bloom Box home version you told 60 minutes in 2006 you should be able to buy a home version in 10 years from then for around $3,000 well it's 2020 I've got $3,000 where can I buy one
@@josephwright5921 requiring regular deliveries of refined natural gas to your house hardly frees you from dependency on national infrastructure. You'd be better off buying solar panels, which are cheap and readily available.
So how is this going to be sustainable in the future if it uses another fossil fuel like natural gas? And how does the server keep running with it, how is the natural gas saved? Do you need to bring many tanks to keep replenish and how often?
You mean would it be able to generate electricity without using any form of external power or fuel? No. It seems like we will have to wait another day before we get an infinite energy machine.
@@Henriburger1 it needs natural gas to produce electricity...it just uses fuel cell to produce electricity instead of the traditional method where the natural gas will be used to produce steam which will rotate a turbine which then produces electricity.
And the piece on CBS 10 years ago with Leslie Stahl interviewing the guy and he says that I'm almost positive he never mentions that it works with natural gas . I could be wrong but that's what I recall and so they do make it sound more miraculous than it really is . It still sounds like a good idea of course but I haven't heard of any homes using this system yet . But I have heard a few people say they're making some returns by investing $ in it .
The fuel cells create hho on demand to create energy, of course they don't want to use that sort of verbiage because it's ''taboo'' . . . Here's my question, if it uses natural gas and air to provide the electricity BEFORE it hits the fuel cell doesn't that mean it is possible to use something else beside natural gas to run it? Perhaps a permanent magnetic motor or solar? I would imagine the powers that be wouldn't have approved his design if it were like that.
I belive, the best fuel be hydrogen, but how to separate carbone from methane, to get pure product, without CO? I working with this idea yet, for produce graphene.
Our Bloom Energy Servers run on either natural gas or renewable biogas. As of March 31, 2018, approximately 9% of our deployed fleet of Energy Servers, by megawatts deployed, utilized biogas.
sounds like they are using natural gas. if you've got natural gas its more efficient to use it directly for heating and cooking. no need for any fuel cells.
@@Withnail1969 your missing the big point, yes youcan cook and heat with Natural gas, but the bloomenergy fuel cell would power the rest of your house. Im assuming you use electricity.
@@Withnail1969 Actually no, it is very efficient. The natural gas does not combust, the process is an electrochemical Reaction. From Chemical Energy to Electrical Energy. It is in fact very energy efficient. I encourage you instead of making comments that just pop into your head, to actually look at the tech and then comments.
There are at least two major improvements that should be considered to improve this marvelous product. 1. being the reformer technology. Take a look at the accidental rediscovery of CIV-initiated plasma reformation. It was not well understood by the inventor (his discovery was a total accident), but his autobiography of the process discloses the critical information for anyone aware of the process: see: "The Book of GEET: Part 1, Basic Science" by the late Paul Pantone. The "GEET gas produced is a low-temperature plasma of diamagnetic molecules that will express a huge amount of electrical energy as it condenses (with water vapor it produces clean air and clean water, no CO2. 2. being a pulsed magnetic field across the active cell membranes which will activate the FC reaction, giving it the kick normally supplied by a catalyst, reducing the activation temperature and extending the useful life of the FC. A little research will determine the optimal pulse conditions for your specific application, to optimize the power required. Party on Dudes, be good to each other.

This company is poised to make tons of money!!

Ha. So not cool that they still.havent made any money
@@timothybeatty9108 there's a video where some college-age kid claims he has money invested with them and he's getting pretty good returns .
I heard the system only works the purchaser uses gas energy ... but I don't know if this is true or not .
Can it be made to work with Large aircraft and their existing fuel lines?
How much Fuel do these Units use in a 24 hr period?
Nevermind it definitely has to work in tandem with a gas supply .
That was a good question you asked .
My special needs son has read about fuel cells and finds them very interesting and thinks they are highly underrated and are much better than wind turbines and solar panels.
Hold on why is CO2 coming from a Fuel Cell?, and how much?. Is it cos Natural gas is being used instead of Hydrogen?
yep.

Nope. That would take you off the grid and they don’t want that!
Yes i did send them

I have been trying to find out about how much fuel this thing uses for a few years and have yet to.
Does this system have to use hydrocarbons? Would the steam work without it?
it uses natural gas so yes, it uses hydrocarbons.
You mean would it be able to generate electricity without using any form of external power or fuel? No. It seems like we will have to wait another day before we get an infinite energy machine.

@@superchargedpetrolhead
I know I watched the same video

Why is CO2 emitted? I’ve never heard that with other HFC set ups. Oh unless Natural Gas( Methane) is used?
yep, it uses natural gas not hydrogen.

Does anyone know how much fuel it uses? Say if it's powering 10 American homes..
I wonder if it's actually running any homes yet ?
how can i contact Mr. sridhar sir

I'm still confused about these because somebody said they only work properly if the purchaser has Gas Energy .
Do you know if this is true ?
But why the stock price of bloom energy falling miserably ????
Because they made some big sales and then haven't done anything
