They are missing some units when mentioning 500W hotspots. 500W/sq-cm? 500W/hectare? Damages their credibility.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned, is the tendency of the electro-kinetic pumps to electrolyze water. Some designs I've seen include a platinum catalyst to reassemble the broken molecules, but this won't be 100%. What happens over the course of a year or two with highly reactive oxygen and hydrogen running around your cooling loop? How much water will need to be replaced? Will the end user be able to do this without introducing contaminents that clog the pores of the EK pump and the micro-channels of the waterblock?
Interesting stuff intellectually, not yet interested as a product.
