Here is a quote from Huffinton Post in February 2010:
The Bloom Box launch was praised by representatives from major companies and officials including Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The much anticipated Bloom Energy product launch included details on the Bloom Box, essentially a power plant in a box. The California start-up claims it is a major breakthrough in clean energy technology.

Schwarzenegger said at the Bloom Box launch that 160 years ago people flocked to California for the gold rush and that same spirit is alive in Bloom Energy’s Bloom Box.

This new “BloomBox” has a huge potential and many high profile investors have already lined up. Months ago Colin Powel was voted onto the board.

Here a bit from the www.Bloomenergy.com website talking about what is a Bloom Energy Server?

Built with our patented solid oxide fuel cell technology, Bloom’s Energy Server™ is a new class of distributed power generator, producing clean, reliable, affordable electricity at the customer site.

Fuel cells are devices that convert fuel into electricity through a clean electro-chemical process rather than dirty combustion. They are like batteries except that they always run. Our particular type of fuel cell technology is different than legacy “hydrogen” fuel cells in four main ways:

Low cost materials – our cells use a common sand-like powder instead of precious
metals like platinum or corrosive materials like acids.
High electrical efficiency – we can convert fuel into electricity at nearly twice the
rate of some legacy technologies
Fuel flexibility – our systems are capable of using either renewable or fossil fuels
Reversible – our technology is capable of both energy generation and storage
Each Bloom Energy Server provides 100kW of power, enough to meet the baseload needs of 100 average homes or a small office building… day and night, in roughly the footprint of a standard parking space. For more power simply add more energy servers.
