Such a capsule might be okay for one off situations, where the processing power is needed locally and no other option is available, but I doubt it will be sustainable for large farms of capsules.</p><p>I might be wrong, which is why they are doing this study, but looking at it with my secondary modern level physics and biology, it would seem that the thermal disipation would be too high. But they can do the math better than me and they can observe the sea around the capsule.</p><p>It is certainly interesting, from a technical point of view, but not every new experiment is successful. I look forward to seeing the results.</p>
