Search giant has filed patent for floating datacenters powered by wave energy, cooled by the sea.

As reported this week by Rich Miller at Data Center Knowledge, Google filed a patent back in 2007 for a floating datacenter that "would be located 3 to 7 miles from shore, in 50 to 70 meters of water," Miller writes. "If perfected, this approach could be used to build 40MW datacenters that don’t require real estate or property taxes."

Google could make a splash with water-based datacenters

i wonder what their main motivation is.

tax or lack of it offshore?
rent or lack of it offshore?

or are they just trying to place themselves out of the jurisdiction of any one countries laws?

It's actually a fairly interesting concept when you think about it but I'm not sure how it will work with international waters and what about pirates (they really do exist).

I certainly agree there Dave, the concept is very interesting, the technology involved, even more so.

I doubt tax breaks is a motivation as the centres would only be 3-7 miles offshore, and most territorial water boundaries go for 200 miles off shore if i am not mistaken.

Developement of new technologies is always exciting in my opinion. I do think pirates probably wouldn't be an issue but big waves could be??

Google saw its once high-flying share price fall under the $400 mark by midday Monday. This represents the lowest price for the stock since September of 2006, when the shares were still on a sharp upward climb following the company's initial public offering two years before. The Web search giant's stock peaked near the $750 mark in November of last year before a sharp sell-off in high tech stocks began to pressure the shares. By midday Monday, Google traded as low as $395.34, down 8% from its previous close, following a sharp sell-off in tech stocks as well as the broader market...

Good to see Google get their just desserts today on the stock market after all the evil they pulled on webmasters with the pagerank update last weekend.

I wouldn't invest in Google. Lately they have repeatedly shown how sloppy they can be:
-They released a web browser full of privacy flaws including the ability to see banking records through the browser history.
-They nearly bankrupted a major airline by posting an old news story as new news.
And now they are trying their luck in the cell phone industry, despite producing poor software filled with bugs. Just wait for the complains on this venture.
