The most interesting claim is that it's a reversible reaction. This explains the "it runs on solar" comment in that it can be used in place of batteries or a flywheel to store energy by turning the excess load back into fuel during peak generation from solar/wind and then expend it later.
- bbot 17y agoThe claim is "interesting " insofar as it is astoundingly unlikely, and almost certainly untrue. The chemistry of solid oxide fuel cells are well understood. It only works one way. They don't produce hydrogen when you feed them voltage. It's like spinning the flywheel on a car engine backwards, and expecting gasoline to pour back into the fuel tank.
