Wow...

So what would a 2-phase water-cooling system be like? How could we implement this "porous media" idea?


I always get a kick out of reading the Internet power usage:
May 99:
295 TeraWatt/hour = 9% of US yearly electrical output

Internet Infrastructure only:
124 TeraWatt/hour = 3.5% of US yearly electrical output

Big toys for Big boys, or Revenge of the Nerds?

the porous media is a brick
the 2 phase cooling is the arching stream with the rising steam

Cool, direct die wet brick cooling, I'll get on to it right away:D

Those figures on electrical usage are a hoot........until you consider the very real costs in both dollars and polution they are in fact projecting.

Then it isn't funny at all.
