Consumer Hydrogen Fuel Cells

axis-techno-geek writes: "Ballard Power Systems of Vancouver, BC (in Canada, eh), has stated that it will start production this friday of their consumer level Nexa(tm) hydrogen fuel cell (article here). The power module generates up to 1200 watts of unregulated DC electrical power that can keep going as long as it is supplied with hydrogen, and produces no toxic by-products (i.e. you can use it in your home). They also have plans for a 250kW unit. No price as of yet."

    Emitting only heat and water as byproducts of power generation, the NexaTM power module allows OEM products to be used in indoor environments and other locations not possible with conventional power sources such as internal combustion engine generators.

    Assuming you stored the water byproduct in a bottle, this begs the question...

    If you found a mouse in the bottle, would you get a free beer?

      No, it prompts the question. Begging the question is something else...

    So what's the word on using this to build a bomb? After 9-11-01 I'm thinking a little different. I'm not an electrical engineer but I'd like to hear the opinion of one on the matter...

    It's called "humor". Have you heard of that?

    actually the real impact would be the fact that the US would have no interest, so we would pull out, which is what osama bin dover wants anyway.
