Google is trying to build a data center (Data Center) floating movable so wish and environmentally friendly as it is self-sufficient and powered by hydropower. The building is currently under construction in the San Francisco Bay between San Francisco and Oakland is sd Island Treasure Island is a former military base. The Web giant has filed a patent in 2009 for a concept using electric generators via hydropower with cooling cells. A concept to have many advantages. This project would be based

on containers would therefore mobile. The advantage is that it can be moved easily. On the other hand, would use the movement of water as energy and thus decrease the energy bill. All data centers in the U.S. consumed 1.5% of U.S. electricity in 2006.

Site under construction southeast of Treasure Island

Due to its position, it would be a seismic building indestructible and even if a tsunami because of its mobility and would rentabilisable easily thanks to its low-cost energy source: water. This data center is a rumor but in terms of patents there a few years by Google, we can assume that this project is that the Mountain View giant. It takes place on containers forming a base of 80 meters long, 25 meters wide and a height of four stories. This barge is approached southeast of the island of Treasure Island. Water and wind energy sources used.
