A scientist of Indian origin has made fuel-cell-powered invention called a "bloom box", which could be used to power individual homes in the future, while being environmentally friendly.
According to a report in Daily News, the scientist in question is K.R. Sridhar from Silicon Valley's Bloom Energy.
Tiny Photovoltaic Cells Turn You into a Walking Battery Charger
Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories in the US have developed tiny glitter-sized photovoltaic cells that could turn a person into a walking solar battery charger.

It is presently being tested by companies such as Google, WalMart, FedEx and eBay, who have shelled out hundreds of thousands for the "green" machines.
Smaller versions could be used to power individual homes, and would be environmentally friendly.
The Eco Battery Is Now Waiting In the Wings
Spike Narayan watched a Tesla electric sports car rocket from zero to 60 mph (100 kph) in less than four seconds and knew batteries would be the next big thing.
