The Bloom Box is a fuel cell that can power a Google data centre. They were designed by NASA for a scrapped Mars programme. Oxygen goes in one side, fuel – natural gas from landfill waste, solar or who knows, maybe shit – goes in the other. And power is made. Google does use them. So do Fedex and Walmart. Endgadget tells more, and features a video of the Bloom Box’s appearance on Sixty Minutes. Just very, very cool.
