Bloom energy has started manufacturing new age fuel cells that are claimed to be small, reliable and clean. These small cells can be used as mini power-plants anywhere from a basement to power a house to datacenters and large establishments.

The research which was secretive for a long while was unveiled last week, led by KR Sreedhar. He happens to be an alumni of NIT, Trichy: a proud moment for all us Nittians! (His profile says Madras University but it happens so that REC, Trichy back then was not autonomous, but was affiliated to Madras University).

Catch the following video to get a first hand update on whats new about Bloom energy fuel cells.
