Bloom Energy’s Bloom Box to be Announced Wednesday
It seems Bloom Energy is being pushed by its clients to officially unveil their Bloom Box technology in order to promote their Green-ness. Who are these clients? They include E-Bay, Google, Wal-Mart, FedEx and Staples. Some of these companies think the ‘magic’ Bloom Box Fuel Cell is ready to go commercial and want to reap the benefits of being a test site. We will all find out Wednesday during the unveiling of the Bloom Box at E-Bay headquarters in San Jose.
Those dark spots on photos of earth taken from outer space? Ablaze with light. That old, unreliable grid mostly powered by dirty coal? Obsolete, since Bloom boxes are basically tiny power plants installed right in your back yard, next to the dumpster at your corporate campus, or at your local electric-car charging station though they can also be connected to an electrical grid just like your PC connects to the Internet. Hydrocarbons such as natural gas or biofuel (stored in an adjacent tank) are pumped into the Bloom Box ceramic plates stacked atop each other to form modules that can be assembled into a unit of any size and out comes abundant, reliable, cleaner electricity. The company says the unit does not vibrate, emits no sound, and has no smell.
