How Bloom works

Courtesy of Bloom Energy's press kit, these images show how much power you can get from one Bloom box energy server. In this case, it's a box with more power cells than you'd find in a normal home install. But such a box could power an entire office building or 100 U.S. homes.

Sridhar forsees a model where each U.S. home has its own Bloom box, though the technology allows multiple dwellings to share the same server.
