I saw this article today and said to myself “well ain’t that just a
kick in the pants.” This has to be the coolest idea I’ve seen in a very
long time. I mean, take your basic 3 components needed for fire, and
change which of the 3 components you remove. How long have we been
damaging our computer systems with either toxic Halon systems, or
simply destroying them with water based solutions? This is one of those
technologies that, in hindsight, begs the question of why didn’t
somebody think of this sooner.
I have to say to the makers, well thought and thank you for your simple
brilliance. Now, let’s just hope that they can get it to be affordable
I’m sure it will play a part in the next generation of high caliber
data centers. Of course, now we might have to deal with altitude
sickness even though we’re still setting at or near sea-level.
