they did something similar with U-boat diesels after the end of WW2 for power generation, it's not all that crazy
i do wonder what kind of engines they'll be using for these though. maybe the MD-11s still in service will have their engines being used for stuff like this, especially ones equipped with the more powerful ones for hot & high airports

A lot of money is tied into it but the real economy and the real infrastructures don't depend on "AI" at all.
It won't even be profitable because it's WAYYYYYY overevluated. It has a lot interesting applications but it's nowhere near close actual artificial intelligence. This has been a lie since this fad started and this lie is the main reason why there is so much investment in it.

AGI will solve all pollution issues world wide so actually it's okay for AI datacenters to skip such requirements. Just a few trillion dollars more and we'll get there.
>>
>>106985049
PFAS aren't a problem because fires are incredible rare in data centers, normal operation will not volatilize plastics of fluoridated foams (fire extinguishers, if they use those) or relase HVAC fluids (that aren't be released because they harm the Ozone layer).
A normal airport will cause more PFAS pollution than those meme datacenters.

If by "too big to fail" you mean they'll get bailed out when the bubble inevitably pops, you are correct. If you mean it in the gullible, literal sense, you are going to lose everything, there is going to be a top, there is going to be a crash, and that is when you should buy - right before the bailout hits.

No, they don't gas off (it's used for high vacuum systems for that reason), fluoridated polymers are popular because they're stable up to 200 - 300ºC (350 - 500ºF) and have excellent electrical-chemical properties.
"PFAS" is a popular term for some negligence related to the goverment/airports with ongoing lawsuits, if the concern really were pollution from data centers then the articles should be talking about Brominated Flame Retardants.

They don't need to turn into gas. The thermal stress could mechanically damage the substrate and lead to the emission of nano/microparticles. They would splinter off from the motherboards and chips.

You don't mount a $10k chip on a unstable substrate and then thermally cycle the f out that.

yet again techbros click through wikipedia once and fancy themselves experts and implement what would have been a reasonable solution in the dumbest way possible.

diesel turbine engines are already a thing but you don't use aircraft ones to generate power, you don't even use them for motive power on land. that is a "turbofan" and is specifically designed to move air through it to create thrust, not to create torque at the shaft. land-based turbines are entirely different and it would be much more appropriate to take one out of a junked ship or tank where the entire point is to create a fuckton of torque (which would be more appropriate for driving an alternator/generator)

>>106985013
Almost definitely not, and probably violate noise regulations too. My local coal plant can be heard for miles, imagine a data center that is literally making the same noise as a DC-10 taking off literally constantly.
>>
>>106985004
I sure hope no modern planes use that engine

>After developing the TF39 for the C-5 Galaxy in the late 1960s, GE offered a higher thrust variant for civilian use, the CF6. It was also selected for versions of the Boeing 747, and then for the Airbus A300, A310 and A330, Boeing 767, Lockheed C-5M Galaxy, and McDonnell Douglas MD-11.

What if they put it on a really long metal beam so that it can go around in circles? They can even use this to drive another generator to make more power!

aircraft turbofans are basically troll physics as they are, don't do this or the simulacrum will collapse

it's literally some retard hooked up a turbo to his supercharger and then a supercharger to that turbo but forgot to ever put an engine in, instead replacing it with a turbo installed at the front, backwards, and to make it work better sometimes you just ignite fuel behind it like a rocket

>>106985687
my bet is some techbro retard with daddy's money found a lot of junked aircraft engines, did five minutes of research, and decided to form a start-up. because of The Current Economy, VC vultures and the US government handed him a gorillion dollars for his marketing budget and the business will make two or three high profile sales and then become a glorified holding company.

Electronic waste is a known source of heavy metal pollution. You think that electronic devices magically start emitting heavy metal particles once they land in a open sky decharge in Africa or Bengladesh at ambient temperature, but not when they are heating up to 70-80+ degrees while they are powered up and running?

Yeah when they get wet and start corroding.
Also they burn that shit in these 3rd world "recycling" centers.
Part of the reason RoHS exists is because retards won't recycle it properly

>Electronic waste is a known source of heavy metal pollution.
Modern boards don't use lead/cadium/arsenic or similar, and nobody considers tin or copper as a problematic metal (copper far more toxic for aquatic life, one of the reasons to use it in fish farming). But yeah, recycling under bad conditions or simply dumping the old machines and leave them exposed to weather to leach is bad. Not a problem for data centers tho, the pollution per user is insignificant and the end-of-life is controlled by law, unlike the problematic consumer electronics.
If you have that complain in particular then starting with consoles, PC and smartphones would be order of magnitude more effective.

No.
Burning plastic at 800 ºC is incomparable to running a PCB at 100 ºC, chemistry 101 (Arrhenius).

Those who have retired
Those who have resigned
Those who live out in the outskirts of society
Those who are spiritual/monks

Even they are still desiring for basic and better things, but they are doing so at a fraction of the rate than those in the city where materialism is the "answer" provided to cure fear of the void in their heart (mind). Emptiness of the spiritual void in the modern world. Lack of deeply seated foundational truth (god/spiritual/etc).

But wise men know even those foundational pillars that hold their world up, be it spiritual or eternal in nature of falsehoods, but its enough to last through most of the life for most people that do not have the mettle to keep digging.

>>106984048
I thought gas turbines were already used for both stand by emergency generators and rapid response online generators to quickly regulate energy surges and grid load balancing?
Using a turbofan based one seems a bit odd though, even if it seems extensively modified for turboshaft use.

I've thought about doing this, "oops all turbos."
>>
>>106985860
>in the city where materialism is the "answer"
having lived in The City for all my life (except when deployed) i dont think this is really true. other than people being generally poor and genuinely missing something they "need" (to be rid of debt, better transportation in light of their job requirements, tools for whatever job they have, etc) most people I meet in a day seem to be at least not greedy. not everyone is satisfied with their lot, but few people are gunning to be gajillionaires.

that said i forgot another frivolous Wont of mine, i want a gun(real). im not beefing i just think theyre neat

>>106985967
yeah turbines are but not turbofans.

>>106985973
play stormworks. supercharging is basically mandatory in that game now and half of builds are "sophisticated" boost systems when people don't outright cheat (no genuine turbos unfortunately because mechanical pumps are coded incorrectly)
>>
>>106985967
That's the problem, they're using the same parts produced by an industry that isn't compatible with bubbles, even less than semiconductor foundries or ASML.
Small gas turbines are nearly identical except for a new low pressure compressor and maybe a different combustion chamber. The rest are just differences in the auxiliary components (pumps) and casing. All the parts that wear fast (bearings, turbine blades made with superalloys) are similar or identical.

Thats why good companies are building their own power infrastructure.

Battery banks to smooth out with precice load balancing
