I don't see how the aluminum impeller could simultaneously rotate and maintain enough heat transfer with the baseplate to be effective. If you look at the second picture, it describes an "air gap region," and as we all know air isn't known for its thermal conductivity.

It is all about the properties of the boundary layer.

Interesting concept.

It would suck if a cable/wire somehow found its way near that in the computer...

Daaaaamn yeh, although I'd probably keep clear of that like it has a disease if I had to do something inside my computer if it was running.

Yup. Those fans that do over 5000 RPMs, you don't want you put your finger anywhere near those. I did and was fortunate that it only put a gash in my finger instead of taking the tip of it off.

Pro tip: Don't get distracted while working on active hardware, the consequences can be painful.
More pro tip: Don't work on active hardware.

On one video about the Sandia I watched them spin it up to 15K rpm just to show how fast it really can go if need be (Most definitely NOT something you'd want to put a finger )

Mounting vertically wouldn't affect it that much, the hydrodynamic effect would still be there.

development continues and as for horizontal vs vertical the article states this "According to the developers, the Sandia cooler is in fact orientation agnostic"

What ever floats ya boat that's your opinion and your entitled to it but just just because they're yet to bring a product to market doesn't mean its been "De-Bunked" as you put it if it has then by all means supply a source that categorically states it's rubbish and will never work or be brought to market

So are you. I suggest you learn how to type properly and use capitalization and punctuation instead of posting hostile garbage all the time.

Ok guys, calm down. No use in having a senseless argument when we could be posting more WTF coolers.
