Garland E. Harris Interviews Bob Aronsson at Apollo Energy



This is the power plant that was to be put into the Zap car mentioned in the previous post. I put this video up, which is one of a series of videos with this inventor, because of the astounding part in which he said he reduced the price of the fuel cell from $600k per kilowatt to to $188 per kilowatt. That means his 7 kw fuel cell could sell for less than $1500--- if I am not mistaken.

I am still amazed that this technology is still unknown and hasn't been adopted. Or, perhaps I shouldn't be, which would be sad.




Update:

I listed this on the sidebar as a series.  But it isn't formatted in such a fashion, but there have been a lot of blog posts on here which covers the subject.

In order to get a list of a few of them, paste "aronsson" and/or "apollo" in the search box at the top of the screen.

I think that electric fuel cells combined with his batteries can be built now and they would be affordable.  That in connection with a recent post on 3D printing of a car, which can reduce the weight dramatically, will definitely make this feasible.  It can be done now.  No magic beans, no secret sauce.
