Eventually the hull would corrode and the plastics would degrade into microplastics and the lead solder would dissipate into the sea. When they said the marine life lived it as an artificial reef, you knew the intent was to simply litter the sea with them.

      Except that adopting this practice at scale is simply having disposable data centers deposited onto the seafloor with more being sunk as they each loose their function over time. Without global regulation that extended into international waters and required the removal of the data centers, this would just be littering the seas and indeed the video suggested that as a good thing in establishing artificial reefs so they are not intending to retrieve these data centers.

Even the current practice of reserving fuel for a controlled re-entry of a commercial satellite is continuing bypassed for extended useful life.

      @18booma 3 роки тому

      Yeah, and he's not addressing the scaling of the project. This container can store the equivalent of "100,000 Macbooks" according to the video. That's not a lot. but for simplicity's sake let's say these servers are only open to private use (non-commercial) and each person is limited to one Macbooks worth of storage. Let's use the city of Cape Town (shown at 2:05) as an example. The city alone has over 400,000 residents. So you would need at least 4 of these to provide storage, just for the city. The video states the effect is "a fraction of a degree". Assuming our goal is to keep the change at less than 1 degree, that fraction would have to be smaller than a quarter of a degree. That is just for the city of Cape Town. The population of the surrounding metro area is over 4 million. Which means to use this to provide storage for Cape Town and surrounds would require the thermal output of one of these to cause less than 0.025 of a degree warming within the affected area. And that's just to be able to say you're not the specific reason for that 1 degree heat increase. It's not good enough considering we need to be doing the opposite and reducing the heat in our oceans.

    Cooling would be a lot easier but they'll have to pay a bonus for people to go down there for administration and maintenance. We restricted our janitorial staff to only mopping the aisles and not even up to the servers. The server's themselves become obsolete and are replaced before dirt on the servers become an issue.
    Interesting that as they intended it to be sealed for it's operational life, they could've filled it with something more thermally conductive such as mineral oil rather than nitrogen, that would've allowed the computers to be operated at higher clock rates. Using a fluid would also make the structure impervious to hydraulic pressure from the sea so the container would not have to resist the pressures of the deep.

    • @L4JP
      @L4JP 3 роки тому +1

      Mineral oil would not be a green choice - that would be a lot of petroleum needed to be refined and a big problem if it leaks into the ocean. But perhaps there is a substance that is (a) in liquid state at ocean temperatures, (b) made easily from renewable or abundant sources, (c) inert to electronics and other materials in the data center, (d) electrically non-conductive, and (e) not harmful to marine life even if leaked in large quantities. I don't know what substances check all those boxes, though. Nitrogen checks all the boxes except not being a liquid.

      @@L4JP It only needs to be a dielectric liquid and there are plenty of organic ones such as vegetable oil. I only mentioned mineral oil as it's a common one used by overclockers. Needless to say, a liquid could not only transfer heat better but resist ocean pressures thereby only needing an adiabatic hull rather than a pressure hull. However, something relatively non-reactive which would simply leave the sea such as nitrogen might be a choice if you intended to never retrieve the data centre.
      Yes, some overclockers use vegetable oil but different types of vegetable oils have different acid levels so greater care must be taken with organic dielectric liquids.

      It won't work for heating homes, but you can imagine integrating them into desalination plants, in a storage tank that's thermally insulated from ocean water. This way the water is warmer before going into the actual plant where it's evaporated, making it evaporate faster. This would also provide easier access to the device, should anything go wrong.
      I don't know if it'll work, but it's interesting imagining possibilities that will have multiple uses and less negative impact on the ocean environment.

However when taking into account the heat generated by "thousands" of these in a local area the temperature increase would be different from 1 single unit getting an uninterrupted flow for cooling. The point about marine life loving solid structures I think is good, again the cavate here being that once it is "established" over a series of years, you pull up the units for maintenance and thereby disturb the whole environment.
