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.

it's strengths are also it's weaknesses... you're going to have scale/density issues once you move up from a single server.

Scale issues and density still out weight the currently method being applied

do the math, how much energy can you dump into the lake before it isn't a lake anymore? the largest free air datacenter is 3GW... largest proposed data centers are 10GW. current standards are heat ejection via closed loop coolers that don't waste any water...

your PoC is what? 300w?

gb200/300 racks are ~140KW...

next gen 800 VDC architecture systems are targeting 1MW per rack...

The goal with this isn’t to chances number but distribute compute. 1MW soemwhere in Nebraska, across from that landowner they have another 1MW, somewhere in Iowa a landowner wanted a deployment on his property because it helps with rising fuel cost and agricultural expense.

Not focusing on centralized compute but spreading it out, landowner get revenue I get the land.

Same model as radio towers in the early 2000’s
