This will never …
This will never happen OPEC and the oil companies are going to suppress this and it will cost you a lifetime of electrical use to own one, if it ever comes to fruition, LOL.
“we’re building …
“we’re building both the bridge and the future destination”
NICE!!
“equivalent amount …
“equivalent amount of CO2, or whatever that is”
very smooth contempt Sridhar.
“nocks and socks!”
i like how he …
i like how he explains it….good explanation……..it is hard to explain something so simple when you are actually a technical person
Tesla Magnifying …
Tesla Magnifying transmitter can energize the world for free, the gov. does’t want to use this technology because it would put all the oil companies out business.
It still requires …
It still requires oxygen and natural gas inputs to operate. Once they put the squeeze on energy prices and carbon taxes, government and energy companies will be getting exponential returns on providing fractions of current amounts consumed. This unit also seems to require a solar panel for some reason. Solar panels cannot output the equivalent energy in its usable life that was consumed in the process of manufacturing it. Not trying to be negative Nancy, guess I’ll believe it when I have one.
Thank you KR for …
Thank you KR for creating and explaining the technology so lucidly. Your technology could be the future. We hope you will be able to product a $3000 device for homes within this decade.
you MUST be kidding …
you MUST be kidding. Log a.s.a.p out of YouTube and do some actual reading about this topic before you pollute this channel any further with your un-biased redneck mentality of commenting. Because of people like you, who cant form any serious opinion on this subject because they don’t really care as long as their gas, burgers & beer is cheap, these crooks get away with just about any atrocities they commit. So much for the American education system…
The future.
The future.
I’ve heard prices …
I’ve heard prices as high as 1 million US per unit, but that they are aiming for 3,000$ US in 10 years

My pc has one left speaker. I can’t seem to hear the only lady.

His mic is like ice cream cone.
So right around the …
So right around the same time every other wonderous new technology is supposed to hit the market (but never does). Perfect.
Thanks for the info.
plus they also …
plus they also supply natural gas which is the fuel these use so I don’t see them having a huge problem with this.
Right now they are …
Right now they are between 700,000 and 800,000 dollar for a 100kW unit, but they hope to have a 3,000 dollar unit by 2017 or 2020
Does anyone know …
Does anyone know what Bloom Energy considers “affordable?” I have seen the sales pitch, but not even a ballpark price.
Unit price? Proposed home unit price? Or even just how many $/kW?
What is the designed lifecycle of the box? What type of ongoing costs for maintenance? Can it be serviced by a local technician?
The Bloom Energy site seems long on glitz and short on details
Really cool stuff. …
Really cool stuff. I woulld love to sell this product to the general public.

this was much more informative than the other videos I saw. I guess it might be too much to stomach for the average American. Thank you!

Down with all these …
Down with all these major companies who dictate the international arena who with their corrupt money and policies and being backed by the banking cartels are bent to leave us all jobless, homeless and fighting. Down I say!
