60 Minutes Bloom Box: Bloom Energy Fuel Cells

i'd love to try one of these.at this moment i'm researching p.v. and wind to offset our energy use.at present we use about $60-$80 of electricity per month and p.v to offset is not feasible.but a system that would offset in 4-6 years!

I DON'T CARE WHAT THE "NAY-SAYERS SAY", I WANT A BLOOM BOX JUST AS SOON AS THEY CAN GET ME ONE INSTALLED....AS LONG AS IT IS NOT SOLD TO ANOTHER FIRM, SUCH AS GE

My mate, Leonardo and I watched your segment on 60 Minutes and can't wait to buy one of your wonderful Bloom boxes.  We are building off the grid just North of Taos, New Mexico.  A Geodesic Dome is our wonderful sugar shack that we call home, with two 80 watt solar panels and two Rolls-Surette batteries soon to become 4 and 4.  Please let us know when and where we can sign up to purchase a system for our home.Peace n Abundance,CheyAnne Sexton

What is life of these Bloom Boxes? I have never seen anything that just runs for ever with no break downs and no maintenance.  If its $3000 every two years its just not worth it.

BRAVO! ... I'd love to have one for my home! ... and I would imagine - just as the very first computers would fill an entire room - are now smaller than a shoebox ... so could we reduce the footprint of the BloomBox in the future! FANTASTIC ... there's hope! Thank you.

This is most interesting. I remember reading about Tesler, who at one time worked with T. Edison. Tesler invented the DC type electic but Edison was given credit fo it. They also said Tesler had invented a system so everyone could make electric power for their own home. It somehow never came to market.!

BRAVO!! Good job! ... yes, I'd like one for my home please!   ; )  ... and just as the first computers would fill an entire room - now reduced to less than the size of a shoebox! the Bloom Box will one day leave an even smaller footprint ... Thank you K.R. Sridhar ... you've given us hope.

I would be interested in having a manufacturers representativeship for this type of product to sell to small business and even higher end residences for colorado and wyoming. Thank you Bob Kohl President Energy Saving systems, LLC

If Colin Powell is on the Board of Directors the company is on track to become something special.  Best Wishes and I will talk to my financial advisor tomorrow. 

Mr. K.R. Sridhar, I watched the segment on 60 minutes.  I was so astonished by the  potential of your companies product.  I hope that your company is strong enough to stay in line because the benefits are just tremendous.  I found it admirable and refreshing that you are so caring of the environment as well as those who are less fortunate.   If this really works you deserve the Nobel prize.  I am impressed and very hopeful.   Good luck and may prosperity in the best of ways be with you and your company.  Janet

I am willing to try one of these....... Anything to get my energy bills down. I am ALL electric and if this helps decrease my $$$ then bring it on.

 This tech has been around for a long time we talked of it in the seventys, America needs massive manufacturing  this would be a good start we used to worry about something like this collapsing the economy , well i dont think now is a bad time for that as for the big oil  whatever...

Here, here, I am going to talk to my financial advisor as well tomorrow...got to get on board.  Regards, Len...

Yes this looks like a great product, I am very excited about this opportunity to ditch the monthly power bill and save the environment. Simple is better! They said that they only had one break down, but it would still be a good idea to check into a life span. When these things come out they better not be made in CHINA or we are all doomed!!

I was impressed and refreshed to see the most impressive new energy fuel cell type of this decade. The Bloombox, I believe will be one of the key energy component in quest towards the energy independents of the United States and will also be a backbone for the rest of developing nations. Dear Mr. KR Sridhar, your system is robust, green and energy efficient, nicely done, good job and good luck!! Please let us know, if you have set a timeline for a mass production of your clean system for sales to the general public. I like to get one.

sign me up!!!

Very interested in buying one for myself. This is Nicola Tesla's dream come true!Love  dr. K.R.Links: 

I would remain very, very sceptical here. Energy output always needs energy input. Converting one energy source to another one does involve losses in transfer.

There is no such a thing then cheep energy, however we can produce clean energy.

The other question would be what is the Bloom Box made of and how is it made? Is the process and materials used environmental friendly with and neural impact? 

How much energy and what sort of energy is needed to produce this Bloom Box?

What is its life span and how toxic is the Bloom Box once old and to be recycled or is it even possible to recycle it 100%?

I'd like to hear the definition they have used for "no emissions"You put in fuel and oxygen and get out electricity and .....?What happened to the mass of all the fuel and oxygen? What has it turned into? Carbon dioxide and water? Smaller hydrocarbons? Radioactive sludge?

i watched the segment on 60-minute.any one who has the key to produce cheap and clean energy,will be watched very carefully.it is very interesting concept.the world will belong to him.

I am 22 year electrician specializing in residential and commercial construction and was blown away by "The Box".I am curious in some of the specifics, such as primary voltage,secondary voltage,& also how much natural gas is used or other fuel to run Box. With this technology i hope to see these in vast use within next 5-10 years.My only concern is that human greed will make this an unaffordable system for the masses.I hope someone out there realizes that they can make plenty of money with this without holding humanity hostage.

This is exciting !We want one on our house as soon as we can purchase one. I work in the electric Industry and word love to be part of a revolution such as this, No coal with all of its terrible and expensive outcomes,you should see what they do at a power plant and what it take to mine transport, wash, burn, store waste. Hard to comprehend unless you seen it with your own eyes. What is there stock symbol?    

I agree no GE or the Utilities should be in the picture till much later.  If you don't keep the distributed aspect of Bloom Box, it will lose its appeal quickly.   Bloom should tap into the public's frustration of utilities, politicians and petro terrorists.  What about cars?
