Hmmmm. Well I would say a stainless steel jacket would weigh far less than the reformer,coolant and hoses included. But assuming this were an equal weight exchange, then GLE's claim of twice the power makes this a heads up winner...all things being equal? the chief

You will notice as well the Ballard system requires a complex system to cool and heat their cell in order to keep the temperature consistent to operate just as we required a system of cooling to channel away the heat. How much does the Ballard cooling/ containment system weigh? Go to the Ballard site and take a look at their system, in order to maintain the cell in a consistent operating temperature it requires a complex cooling and heating system. This too is a very costly system because the temperature range/window in which the cell atually works is small. Costly to manufacture and costly in terms of controls and electronics/sensors.
