Mass Produced Fuel Cell Generators for Sale

Ballard Power Systems announced Thursday the commercial launch of its Nexa portable hydrogen fuel cell, designed to be used as a pollution-free power source for industrial and consumer uses.Ballard, best known for developing automotive fuel cells, calls Nexa the "worlds first volume-produced, proton-exchange-membrane fuel cell system." The power module generates up to 1,200 watts of electrical power. Because it only emits heat and water as the byproducts of its power generation, the equipment the fuel cell is installed in can be used indoors.

More Eros Data

The first detailed global mapping of an asteroid has found that most of the larger rocks strewn across the body were ejected from a single crater in a meteorite collision perhaps a billion years ago. After flying by the asteroid Mathilde in 1997, Near-Shoemaker became the first space probe to orbit and land on an asteroid when it flew around the asteroid Eros earlier this year. Then, although it was not designed to land on Eros, it was commanded to touch down. Images were returned during its descent but ceased when the probe hit the surface. However, data continued to be returned from the gamma-ray spectrometer for several days, revealing the surface composition of Eros which seems to be covered with sediment, forming striking flat "ponds" within craters.
