You're right the engineers would have to calculate the voltage for a specific application. I'm not privy to that information however a person could do a rough calculation hypothetically if you have a specific end use; for example the 800 watt test stack at 100 volts direct current = 8 amperes. All fuel stacks produce power at direct current so if the specific application requires alternating current, the inverter calculations shouldn't be 2:1. Global Thermoelectric has been in business for 25 years producing electric generators if you have a specific use give them a purchase order and they'll build it for you. Fuel cells are different in the mathematics than solar cells , that was a major reason fuel cells were chosen for the space program , more power for less surface area and weight.Your example won't blow up simpler put ; if a light bulb rated for 100 watts @ 110 volts was connected to 220 volts the current would double then the bulb would use 4 times the wattage it's rated for, it'll overheat and burn out quickly. You should e-mail Global for their investors package you'll get it in postal mail right away ( I got mine in 3 days }.
