Kiss the Grid Goodbye: Power Your Home with a Bloom Box! Fuel cells have been a tantilizing technolgy for decades - powering space vehicles, but always a little out of reach for domestic or commercial use. I worked with Greenopolis Partner Plug Power for years - working to provide clean on site energy from hydrogen powered fuel cells. Now there’s the Bloom Box. That’s not a typo for a new carry-on-your shoulder stereo system. Water Battery produces 110 volts. NoPoPo the Battery that runs on Water.

New salt-based battery a leap for green energy. Murdoch University researchers have come up with a potential solution to one of sustainable energy’s greatest challenges: power storage for use in non-generation times.

New salt-based battery a leap for green energy

According to project leaders Drs Manickam Minakshi and Danielle Meyrick of Murdoch’s School of Chemical and Mathematical Sciences, while the efficiency of wind and solar technologies has improved rapidly, one major problem has remained unsolved. “The central obstacle facing sustainable energy is unreliability.

Wind turbines don’t turn on a still day. Solar doesn’t work at night and can be hampered in the day by cloud, dust or snow coverage,” Dr Minakshi said. Fuel Cell Technology.
