I assume she was just paid for her design and the difficulty of implementation is left up to engineers?

It's a pretty interesting design, with a few nice aspects, such as the way the heat sinks are leaves. It looked a lot better in person than it does in that picture. <br><br>I didn't get much of a sense of it being much more than a concept though. And the majority of current technologies would not fit inside the modular balls.
