Dry cooling integration
AI/HPC optimized
U.S. Provisional Patent Application — Patent Pending
Overview
The King Arthur Class proposed a different approach. It describes a new category of datacenter architecture built around radial symmetry, circular organization, and vertically stacked cylindrical forms. Drawing on the passive environmental control seen in Macrotermes termite mounds and the adaptive behavior of the Thaumoctopus mimicus, or mimic octopus, the framework shifts the focus from optimizing systems inside a fixed box to using geometry itself as part of the solution.
Integrated concentric and cylindrical architecture enabling controlled thermal flow
Technical Principles
- Radial Utility Routing: Shortened and equalized power and cooling paths
- Thermodynamic Assist: Natural convection via architectural chimney effect
- Modular Expansion: Vertically stackable circular floor plates
- Environmental Resilience: High-efficiency outside-air filtration
Applications
- Hyper-scale AI training environments
- High-performance computing clusters
- Urban and land-constrained developments
- Arid and water-stressed geographic regions
Core Innovation
- Concentric layout with radial compute pods
- Integrated building-scale vertical plenum (chimney effect)
- Cylindrical skyscraper form factor maximizing land efficiency
- Geometry-driven thermal isolation separating hot/cold zones
Performance Implications
PUE: Approaching 1.02 to 1.15
WUE: Functionally close to zero
Cooling Debt: Minimized via core proximity
Land Usage: Significant footprint reduction
Positioning
The King Arthur Class moves beyond incremental cooling improvements. It treats the building itself as part of the thermal and operational strategy, aligning form with physics to meet the requirements of next-generation digital infrastructure.
