Sridhar and his magic sand
5 of 14 from Meet the Bloom box (images)
Underneath the black covering, Bloom Energy founder K.R Sridhar unveiled a box of sand.
Sridhar asks "Why is this so different?" Bloom Energy takes a certain type of sand, which Sridhar says is plentiful and available in several different parts of the world, and bakes into ceramic membranes that are a key part in making the fuel cells. Sridhar calls the process "powder to power."
