Off of fuel-cell for a moment - as part of this thread was concerned with generator backup. A site to check is www.onan.com Onan has been in power-generation forever - so it seems. They were in use in broadcast - two careers ago for me - and had been around forever when I came across them. Generation available from 2000 watts to 2 million watts, in various fueling environments, gas, LP and diesel. At one time - the BEST UPS had systems paired with Onan generators for a complete package. Not cheap but rugged and reliable.
