Bloom Box:

The Bloom Energy Server is also known as the Bloom Box. Bloom Box takes the chemical energy from the fuel and converts that to electrons with no in between conversion. So you are changing your currency only once. It’s an electro-chemical reaction like a battery but the big difference is it’s a power generator so you keep supplying the fuel in and you’ll keep getting the electrons out  most importantly without combustion. It’s a one step conversion high efficiency you burn less fuel less greenhouse gases -and eliminate all the combustion related polluting gases.

The formula used in Bloom Box to generate energy is

Bloom Box is a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell made by a company named as Bloom Energy. Bloom Box is used to generate electricity on the site where it will used. Bloom Box a single cell (one 100mm × 100mm metal alloy plate
between two ceramic layers) generates 25 watts.

According to the San Jose Mercury News, “Bloom’s secret technology apparently lies in the proprietary green ink that acts as the anode and the black ink that acts as the cathode–” but in fact these materials are widely known in the field of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Wired reports that the secret ingredient may be yttria-stabilized zirconia  based upon a 2006 patent filing (7,572,530) that was granted to Bloom in 2009; but this material is also one of the most common electrolyte materials in the field.

Current annual world wide production of scandium is less than 2000 kilogram and most of the 5000 kilogram used annually is sourced from limited former Soviet era stock piles.To save money, the Bloom Energy Server uses inexpensive metal alloy plates for electric conductance between the two ceramic fast ion conductor plates. In lower temperature fuel cells, platinum is required at the cathode.

The current cost of each hand-made 100 kW Bloom Energy Server is $700,000–800,000. In the next stage, which will likely be mass production of home-sized units, Sridhar hopes to more than halve the cost of each home sized Bloom server to under $3000. Bloom estimates the size of a home sized server as 1 kilowatt, although cNet News reports critical estimates recommend 5 kW capacity for a residence.
