@spin cycle Seriously? I am so worried that people do not get basic electro chemistry... Use solar power to create hydrogen and oxygen with electrolysis... Carbon neutral.
Carbon stupid. Use solar energy to create electricity to break water and then use that to create electricity? What the hell is the point? Hydrogen is an awful energy storage mechanism.
@Ken J The point is that you substitute the bank of batteries for the bloom box and some storage for the oxygen and hydrogen in order to power the site when the solar cells are not active.
@Ken J Electrolysis is horribly inefficient... however I did not state anything about using Hydrogen as a storage medium. You feed it as a fuel into this system. I am reacting to the comments about Solar Power being unusable in this system... which is false based on what is stated in this article.
The Chromebooks are here, starting with Samsung's Series 5, a cute little number that promises instant-on access, 3G connectivity, and long enough battery life to web surf with the best of 'em.

"solar" is not a fuel
@spin cycle solar cells create electricity, troll.
@OneOfOne : Well sure, but it's still not a fuel. This device mixes the fuel with oxygen, i.e. it burns it. How exactly do you 'burn' sunlight?
@spin cycle
I still cannot whether they particles or waves.
@spin cycle
Actually it does not burn anything. It is a chemical process separating protons and electrons. There is no combustion.
