the race begins acumentrics, page-2

From their FAQ's Page:
"How is Acumentrics technology different from its competitors?

-Able to start and stop quickly (minutes v. hours for competing units)
-Highly efficient ( over 45% vs. < less than 30% for the more familiar PEM fuel cells)
-Fuel flexible, operating on today’s fuels rather than waiting for hydrogen (demonstrated on natural gas, ethanol, propane, reformed low sulfur diesel, and syngas, with no sensitivity to carbon monoxide—a poison for other fuel cells)
-Tolerant of repeated thermal cycling (over 100 v. fewer than 15 for others)
-Designed to be inexpensively manufactured, with no high-cost catalysts and no exotic materials. (The equipment to automate the process is conventional and well known.)"

Aside from the start up and stop quickly thing, their efficiencies are lower than CFU's aren't they?

Then saw what they said a customised unit costs. $175,000 for a 5KW system. Wonder how much their 2KW units are going to cost!!!
