- 1. THE PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITY BY THE BLOOM BOX METHOD By, R.U.Suryanarayanan.
- 2. INTRODUCTION TO BLOOMBOX Bloom Box is an Electricity generator created by BloomEnergy company in 2010. The Founders of the company are K.R.Sridhar C.E.O , John Finn, Matthias Gottmann, James McElroy, Dien Nguyen. It was initially called as Ion America and renamed in 2006 as BloomEnergy.

- 4. HOW DOES A BLOOMBOX SERVER WORK? BloomBox server is a electricity generator that produces electricity through chemical reaction by using electrochemical cells or fuel cells. The electrochemical consists of Anode,Cathode. When a fuel is flows through the anode side a chemical reaction is triggered and makes the electrons to flow through the fuel cells circuit.

- 6. ADVANTAGES OF BLOOMBOX Higher Efficiency: BloomBox converts Natural gas or renewable biogas into electricity without combustion using fuel cells. Lower CO2 Emission: Greater efficiency means lesser fuel consumed but the output is same and as the combustion decreases,CO2 emission also decreases.
- 7. COMPARISON OF BLOOMBOX WITH OTHER COMPANIES IN CO2 EMISSIONS 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 Average NG Poer Plant Natural Gas Turbine U.S. Grid Average coal power plant BloomBox Natural gas Bloom Box Biogas Series 1 Series 1
- 8. No Smog Forming: Bloom Box Server virtually eliminating smog forming particulates and harmful Nox and Sox emissions that are emitted by conventional power plants.These invisible emissions cause smog asthma and harmful to human health. Small Physical FootPrint: When comparing bloombox to large centralized power plants it only take a small footprint, that is bigger than a car parking. They are located onsite and eliminating Transmission and Distribution losses. It is very suitable for urban areas.
- 9. Water Savings: One of the important aspects of bloom box energy is water savings.It also offers extraordinary water savings. Bloom technology does not uses water to startup during normal operation.
- 10. INSTALLATION OF BLOOMBOX SERVER: The company stated that its first customer was Google and they shipped 100Kw servers to them in July 2008. Thus, Google became the first customer of BloomEnergy. They installed a A1-Server System at yahoo in Sunnyvale,California in 2014 and it is designed to produce one third of the electricity for yahoo headquarters.
- 11. COST OF BLOOMBOX SERVER: On 24 February 2010, Sridhar claimed that his devices were making electricity for $0.08–.10/kWh using natural gas, cheaper than today's electricity prices in some parts of the United States, such as California.
