Water in. Power out.

Cheap power splits water into hydrogen. The hydrogen waits in a tank. When the lines go down in Mossiface, a fuel cell turns it back into electricity and water, and the water goes round again.

Mossiface: questions

Can H2OME power a home in Mossiface?

Yes, that is what it is designed for. A Mossiface home charges the unit from cheap off-peak power, or from wind or micro-hydro where there is no grid, and runs on stored hydrogen when the power goes. 15 kW continuous covers an average home.

How long can it run Mossiface through a power cut?

Days rather than hours. A battery handles the first moments of an outage, then the fuel cell runs the house on stored hydrogen, which does not lose charge while it waits.

When will H2OME be available in Victoria?

It is in early development. Pilot installs go to people on the pilot list first, and remote Victoria properties like those around Mossiface are exactly who the pilot is for.
