The Ubuntu community tends to be pretty smart so I thought I'd ask this here:
Several years ago I saw a bit on TechTV where they demoed a water pump for a cooling system that had no moving parts and as a result was virtually completely silent and didn't result in water loss. From what I remember it sounded a lot like the caterpillar engine from "The Hunt for Red October", but I haven't seen or heard of anything since. I found an article (link) (http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn4086-silent-pump-for-watercooled-pcs-developed.html) that dates back to around the same time that I saw the TV bit, but I was wondering if anyone knew what happened to this or if there's a commercial product out there somewhere using this technology.
Thanks
