I wish they dug into how this monstrosity is powered. Assuming 1V and 24kW, that's 24kAmps.

- geph2021 3y agoand cooling! Imagine the heat sink on that thing. Would look like a cast-iron Dutch oven :)
- tivert 3y agoThe one of the videos posted here gets into that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39693930 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39693930: https://vimeo.com/853557623 https://vimeo.com/853557623
- geph2021 3y agoThanks for sharing! Very interesting. "We call it the engine block because it somewhat resembles a three cylinder motorcycle engine" (referring to the power distribution and cooling)
- jandrese 3y ago24kW translates to like 32hp, so you could imagine this thing with a liquid cooling loop hooked up to something that looks like a car radiator.
- dist-epoch 3y ago24kW is on the lower end of a home heating gas boiler.
- anticensor 3y agoThen just connect the water loop to the house heaters...

- crotchfire 3y agoBackside power delivery using through-silicon vias. I'm sure those TSVs connect to a huge array of switching power supplies, so the 24kW doesn't travel very far at such low voltages.
