I mean, if it were April, I'd give it a laugh. Holy cow, it's real!

I tried to get a bunch of folks together to give away computers if we'd get half of their resources. The guys with the computer would have to power it, get it updates, hook up a net, etc.

We'd get the computrons and networking.

A clear win and these dudes do it with calories. Who'da thought!

Sweet.

Compare with Sequoia's closed loop cooling system @ 3600 gallons per minute.   

A fast way to heat a swimming pool, at least.   

A few of these 1 gallon per minute closed loop water cooling systems with a radiator is enough to heat the house in winter.   Not the cheapest way unless the compute is useful.
