For one: Scams usually ask for stuff ($ mainly). We don't. We're just looking to talk with people. If an investor comes along, we'll talk to them too (we are). So let's settle down on that. If you are someone who doesn't want to give your money, rest assured, we don't want it.
In the coming weeks, we'll be starting a KS campaign to raise money for R&D. Ideally, we'd actually like to crowd source a lot of the R&D particularly as we develop the distributed networking capacity.
Wise of you to go with kickstarter. This is exactly the type of scam they eat up.
For two: thanks for the feedback. It's why I'm here.
It's a proof of concept: not a product ready for sale, distribution, etc. The question really isn't where do you get more cold water - it's how do make sure the material components heating the water through heat exchange can handle that type of long term stress AND make the thing work over a larger distributed network so when the demand for heat is there, there is data to fire up the components to provide heat.
I'm not sure what concept you are proving or even what you are trying to say. Seems like you're just circumventing the question.
Watercooling is a widely proven technology. You've just added a water tank that stores the hot water and cools it later.
Why not just heat the air by computing when you need heating instead of when you don't? (via a $20 heatsink+fan combo)
Honestly what's the point?
The concept also has really strong applications with datacenters, but I think that's a different discussion.
Please do share. Preferably without the obfuscation.
I actually have some good build pics and screen grabs of testing....but I'm at a loss as to how to post pics on here. Lil help? Anyone?
