current box has a 10 yr guarantee

multi-fuel capability

claimed home mini-fridge sized "home" box in 10 years

they have tons of VC $$; single biggest VC is Kleiner-Perkins

principal was a NASA scientist, attempting to make a power source for a future Mars colony

they spray or deposit xx on a Ti-oxide plate, apparently they use ink-jet technology for this but unclear
- you stack up about a few score plates to make a pac that can sit on your open palm; connect these together to make a power unit - that with associated support modules is smaller than a VW bus - Google up some pics - with a few of these eBay is expecting to make 15% of their energy needs at ~30% LESS than the Calif. grid charges, however each unit is 3/4 Million$ right now so it's unclear how that is amortized

3-5 yr payback in most areas of Calif. is claimed by users

some key features are the network "server" approach & the ability to flow elec. back thru the device to generate H - that means you can couple it with a PV array and have power 24/7

bottom line - this appears to be a significant improvement in fuel cell engineering & economics; worst case appears to be that you get a nice fuel cell for your $$
