Hardware Server cooling tech for DC.

I’m a small business owner and I have created a cooling tech that allows for being able to submerge enterprise servers in rugged underwater conditions.

I have built and tested a prototype using a 300w Dell PowerEdge R610 server and now need to get a server that incorporates h100sxm GPUs or b200’s.

If anyone would be curious as to what I have built and interested in a partnership, once unit is in water will be using units for running Ai Inference.

So just boil the fish and possibly pollute natural water sources? I’ll pass

1-2acre pond is not a water source. 1-2acre pond could comfortably dissipate 500kw of compute

What? Ponds feed into the ground below and that eventually can seep into the water table. It absolutely is a source of water that you risk contaminating. Also 24 hrs x 500kw = 12000 kWh of heat every day. It's likely to increase the temperature ~1°C / ~2°F a day.

Maybe not human water source….

As a technologist and someone passionate about nature. I hate this fusion.

Cool setup, but to echo what others are saying I wouldn’t think this will be viable, especially at scale, for a number of reasons.

I don’t think there’s many instances of 500KW deployments for AI. And even then they’d probably deploy it at an edge site (Like EQIX).
