You seem to be deliberately missing the point, as per usual. The picture shown on the website clearly shows a box marked "Electrolyser" with AFC written on it. To the average man in the street (one of which you, of course aren't because of your superior intellect) implies that its is actually AFC's electrolyser. You have confirmed your understanding that it isn't AFC's electrolyser, so do you, or do you not agree that to place the words AFC on a box of tricks that isn't theirs is misleading.
How about, just for once, you stop acting as the arch apologist for the company, get off the fence, and answer the following in simple agree / disagree form, and if "disagree" provide a valid alternative fact.
1. Does AFC have an in house developed electrolyser
2. Did AFC show a box marked "electrolyser" in a document produced by them, with AFC clearly shown on the box
3. Is this, or is this not misleading
4. In Extreme E, the AFC unit was not capable of providing the necessry charge density, and therefore the unit was reliant on a significant batter buffer
5. The AFC unit could effectively only trickle charge the battery array.
6. The solar array created electricity. This was then used to create hydrogen using an electroyser (thereby suffering efficiency losses)
7. The H2 was put into a fuel cell, which trickle charged the battery array, thereby generating further efficiency losses.
8. The battery array was used to charge the cars.
9. The energy produced by the solar array which was used to generate the hydrogen could quite easily have been used to trickle charge the battery array without the intermediate steps of electrolysis or conversion back into hydrogen by the fuel cell.
10. There would be more energy available to charge the battery array if the trickle charge was direct from the solar array, as opposed to going through two intermediry steps.
You call me a buffoon if you like. Fine, no problem with that, but I'm the "buffoon" who has maintained for years that the tech doesn't work as promoted, and that sales are a long way off, with the company entering into many MOU's JV's sales agreements which have all come to nought. Where are we now by comparison to 4 years ago.....still in the doldrums and no commercially viable product, but what do I know, I'm only a simple buffoon who saw the light and sold out the majority of my very significant holdings when I twigged what was going on....better be a buffoon than a deluded pretend academic who no doubt teaches something like "newt studies" or the like, all the while thinking that this pile of junk will come good....trust me, it won't.
losses.
