All, we have been in conversations with 3M about this technology and were
even written into a DoE grant with them for potential testing of such a
system. I'm still hoping we can move forward with a prototype system
regardless of grant status. There technology is exciting. There is another
Minnesota-based company, Hardcore Computers
http://http://www.hardcorecomputer.com/, who also make a
liquid immersed system that we hope to be testing soon as well.
