Joke startup idea: cannonball-powered turbines running a data center at the bottom of a pool
djcows · x · 2026-10-31
A tongue-in-cheek "startup idea": line pools with hydroturbines to harvest wave energy from people doing cannonballs, powering a data center at the bottom of the pool while using the pool water for cooling and heating the pool with waste heat. Absurd on the surface, but it stitches together real industry themes: data-center energy use, liquid cooling, and heat recovery.
