Mitsubishi releases kilowatt home fuel cell

A meter high, so far
Thu Jun 12 2003, 10:43
A FUEL CELL that can easily power a home was announced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries today.

The one kilowatt unit, which is one metre high, 60 centimeters wide and 30 centimeters deep and while this model uses household gas or LPG to create electricity, Mitsubishi said that kerosene, naptha and methanol versions are under development.

It claims that the device will easily power the needs of an average household and that the size of such devices will shrink quickly, demonstrating the advances it's made from its previous model to its latest unit.

One kilowatt doesn't seem to be quite enough for most households we know...

The firm did not say how much the PEFC device, pictured below next to an earlier model, will cost. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
