Well timed George. Sorry, I can't help you though. GM

i don't think any of the info you requested is available pending an update from delphi (and anyone else included). as you can clearly read in today's announcement the output is delirious. the original prototype was thought to be 4 times the efficiency of ballard's current offering, so, simple math tells me this exceeds the original forcasts by 250%. (2/5ths the cells are producing 80% predicted) that means the latest tests are generating at 8 times efficiency of you know who's. hey, what told you to buy, or are you bs-ing.

Can someone tell me the power breakdown of the 800 watts generated by the fuel cell stack in volts and amperage. Here is my best reasonable guess based on electtrical principles that apply to batteries and solar cells: The fuel cell stack's output voltage would relate to the number of cells in the stack, and amperage would relate to the surface area of those cells. It may be easier to understand it this way. Think of the FC stack as being like a typical car battery. Each typical car battery consists of 6 electrolytic cells linked together which produce around 2 volts (6 x 2v = 12v). Larger batteries will supply the same voltage as smaller batteries, and current output varies with battery size. This of course is my best reasonable guess, as I don't know the specific properties on the SOFC. If somebody knows for certain please let me know if I am way off base here, or if I have the right idea. P.S. Congrats on beating the rush on Thursday, the party is just getting started. Welcome aboard, George. Greg
