Alternative Energy: The Bloom Box

August 29, 2010 5:00 PM

Large corporations in California have been testing a new device that can generate power on the spot, without being connected to the electric grid. They're saying it's efficient, clean, and saves them money. Will we have one in every home someday?

You are connected to & feeding off the natural gas pipeline. Second, since it consumes the equivalent of one half the energy it outputs, it is more accurately described as an "energy output enhancement" technology -- and as such it sounds a lot less exciting. It would be impressive if it could produce energy without needing any commercial feedstock which depletes resources without negative environmental / biodiversity effect. The IP is in the wafers used to generate power -- but as a solution it is still just a coool prototype. I think this is another Segway.; Reply to this comment

This company will be bought out for sure, the technology dismantled and will never see the light of day again. The guys who own "the grid," what? Are they just going to go home and sulk because they have been outclassed? They are going to stop this by all means necessary.

But a great idea nonetheless--if only it could come to market, I would buy two tomorrow!; Reply to this comment

When energy is in a form other than thermal energy, it may be transformed with good or even perfect efficiency, to any other type of energy. With thermal energy, however, there are often limits to the efficiency of the conversion to other forms of energy

We don't need the damn ADS we CAN'T CANCEL or SKIP (which would be nice) and they would still survive without it. Pretty soon everything we click is going to have an ad for 20secs because the ad scums told everyone thay HAVE to have it to survive!; Reply to this comment
