So this is actually something I've worked on for 3ish years. Not this project but a similar BiVAD. Pictured is a dual centrifugal pump. The actual impeller is probably 20mm in diameter. The maglev/ pump portion is most likely a slice motor topology. Which is passively stable axially.
On the A1466, I can do an extended SMC reset to make the MagSafe light flash green. But it doesn't respond in any other way (no chime). G3 hot is not high.
As for my A1398, I'm going to have to take a multimeter to it tomorrow. Not sure how to diagnose the GPU issue though, other than Single User Mode works, but the computer freezes when switching to NVIDIA.
This ain't new tech, buzzword + solar tower = headlines. I really love this method of solar though, minimal carbon footprint, ~0% efficiency decay. Coupled w a Sterling engine could even be used for small, off grid energy source.
