A computing apparatus that is integrated within a flotation module, the system obtaining the energy required to power its computing operations from waves that travel across the surface of a body of water on which the flotation module sets. Additionally, the self-powered computing apparatus employs novel designs to utilize its close proximity to the body of water and/or to strong ocean winds to significantly lower the cost and complexity of cooling their computing circuits.

A wind turbine comprising a pod and an aerodynamic rotor having a rotor head or a spinner. The rotor head or spinner is arranged in that case in the afflux flow direction of the wind in front of the rotor blade plane. Provided in or at the rotor head or the spinner of the rotor is a mist eliminator which rotates with the rotor head or spinner. The mist eliminator has an end which is in the form of an opening in the rotor head or the spinner. Air can enter through that end and flow through the mist eliminator in such a way that substantially water droplet-free air is present at the outlet of the mist eliminator, and can be used for cooling the generator.

An electric coolant pump includes an outer housing, a motor, an impeller, and an electrical control unit. The outer housing includes a first housing portion, a second housing portion, and a partition plate integrally formed. The partition plate is disposed between the first housing portion and the second housing portion. The motor is received in the first housing portion. The motor includes a sealing sleeve, a stator disposed on an inner wall surface of the outer housing, and a rotor rotatably received in the sealing sleeve. The impeller is driven by the rotor of the motor to drive a coolant to flow. The electrical control unit is received in the second housing portion and electrically connected to the motor. The electrical control unit and the impeller are respectively located at two opposite ends of the motor.
