3. Mr.K.SRIDHAR an INDIAN
Scientist-Initiator of Innovation.
He worked for team to provide
oxygen & hydrogen on Mars for
the Mars surveyor2001 lander
mission.
In 2001,cofounder Ion
America , later became Bloom
box.
History:
4. Bloom energy-innovative
technology - change the way
the world generates
electricity.
Mission : Make clean , reliable
energy affordable for
everyone on earth.
On 24 Feb 2010,Bloom
energy launched a new
efficient & ecofriendly fuel cell
known as BLOOM BOX.

Bloom box stacks
5. Bloom box energy servers
Bloom energy
servers are made
out of fuel cells , or
electrochemical
cells.
For a SOFC the
electrolyte is a solid
ceramic material.

7. How does it work ?
Principle: Works on the
principle of SOFC and
mechanism carries
On same as in a “battery
“.
As fuel flows in through
the anode side & an
oxidant comes in over the
cathode, a reaction
triggered that causes
electrons to move into the
fuel cell’s ckt, producing
ELECTRICITY
12. Future goals
Make clean & reliable energy.
Affordable to everyone on the earth.
Reduce transmission losses by installing them at load
centres.
Bloom puts your energy future in your control.
13. Efficiency from incoming fuel to usable electricity
of around 50%-55%.
Converts chemical energy to electrical energy In
one step.
Boxs have a life of 10 years , however that include
replacing the cells during the period.
CEO of eBay says bloom energy servers have
saved the company $1,00,000 in electricity bills
since they were installed in mid 2009.

14. Advantages & Dis-
advantages
Advantages:
More efficient
Reliable
Clean Energy
Non-Environmental
disaster.
Green energy.
Dis-advantages:
Initial cost is more.
Usage of Oxygen gas.
The biggest problem with
SOFC is requirement-
ceramic squares only
become active at very high
temperatures.
