Reason? Equal distance from each point on the thermal exchange surface from energy source resulting in perfect isotherms layout and superior surface are to any of the current designs.
It's a compromise. Agree to a point but with the added surface area comes a lower water velocity and hence lower turbulence for a given pump. Add the thermal gradient of copper and it can easily end up way inferior.
