I understood that you meant to be funny, but the idea itself isn't.


For a number of reasons I can't see it being adopted generally - but,
if it worked well enough, it would be worth the effort for very low
power (battery) applications and maybe also for super-computer
applications where power and cooling are ever increasing expenses.
