All in the details
This picture is of a wiring issue in one of the 5kW units that Siemens is operating now. It's at Phipps Conservatory near CMU in Pittsburgh, so the last few days at work I've been going down there to help with some maintenance on it. Got me thinking.
Most of the problems with fuel cells aren't the fuel cells. They work wonderfully if you give them the right amount of gas, take away the products and don't let the reaction sites clog up with carbon that you'd expect to see on a grill after charring some steak. (All that is relatively harder than you may think...)
True about a lot of things... it's all in the details. You can ride your bike alot, train yourself into the ground, but if you don't look after the details of eating well, sleeping well, and doing the right kinds of riding, it won't matter much come race time. You can take time to talk with people, but if you're constantly thinking of all the other things you have to do, and stressing about what you didn't get done, you're loosing out on the big picture. So here's to taking care of the small stuff. First off is replacing these fuses with smaller ones....
See you in the details.

i think its funny that the stuff to the left of the burnt out fuses is labeled "ultra-safe"
your fuses must have been the "reasonably-safe" brand
