What are fuel cells? They were invented over a century ago. There are the following technologies:

• Devices that have proton replacement membranes (Pem)
• Phosphoric acid f.c. (Pafcs)
• Molten carbonate f.c. (Mcfcs)

These have all required use of expensive precious metals, corrosive acids or hard to include molten materials. The execution of these options has only been marginally great than other power alternatives. In short they are not economically viable.

For many years devotee have agreed that solid oxide f.c. (Sofcc) are potentially the best of any technology of this design. Materials have low-cost attributes and have high electrical output. Until recently there were challenges stopping a market application of this technology because of the high temperature produced in its execution and these high temperatures are the reason that very high electrical efficiencies are produced with a range of fuels. If the negative problems in the application can be overcome then the last two factors growth the economies of the application.

Bloom power claims they have conquered the engineering problems that have stopped former applications. They claim their new technology is a flexible power platform with simultaneous multiple benefits that can be applied to a wide amount of applications while being clean, trustworthy and affordable.

The largest test to date of the "Bloom Box" is the facility at the Adobe Systems Headquarters in San Jose, California. This law was designed to provide 30% of the Adobe facilities' electrical needs. Other major corporations that have installed Bloom systems for their applications are: Band of America, Cox Enterprises, eBay, FedEx, Google, Staples and Wal-Mart.

Bloom power appears to have made some huge innovative engineering breakthroughs with fuel cell technology. This could help our country come to be more power sufficient and drastically sacrifice ample power costs for users. right on keep your eyes on any supplementary developments from this company.
