lemmydividebyzeroDatacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.
My question is always how the hell are you going to cool them. Do you know hard it is to move heat in a vacuum?
fallaciousBasisA radiator. Next question?
What’s going to be performing convection to dissipate heat from the radiator in a manner to support the heat generated by an AI data center?
What part of radiator don’t you understand?
Tell me you don’t know how radiators actually work without telling me. They dissipate heat via convection through the air surrounding them or gasses in general. What does space lack a significant amount of?
Radiators also dissipate heat through…wait for it…radiation.
Do you know how BIG they would have to be to dissipate a data center worth of heat to keep it as cool as on earth?
Do you know how much heat they would need to retain?
To prevent any moisture that might be in the air inside the data center from condensing onto electronics. Admit it, it’s a stupid idea and stop defending it as a legitimate one.
They’re in space. There’s no humidity.
Wtf?
